There's a lot of VR chat communities that heavily self moderate that crap out so adults can actually enjoy games/social instances. This approach created a whooooole lotta Wild West space full of every IP stealing debauchery you can imagine, but like the early Internet also allowed for a ton of creativity and fun. Meta's approach was to try to simply not allow anything that would be inappropriate for anyone ever to sanitize for corporate sponsors, leading to a sterile and soulless waste of time.

Utterly shocked which one has regular users creating and exploring.

So far in my friend group it's just CoD, Destiny...forget the others. I don't play those but literally every game I do wanna play just works for the last few years. 🤷‍♂️

Jokes on them, my backlog spans decades!

Gris is an absolutely beautiful game.

That's the primary draw for plain text files for me!

You don't need to build out a giant shack with a tower and 1kW of transmit to get on the air and hit decent ranges! There's a ton of 5-10W pocket sized radios that'll give you surprisingly great results with just a wire thrown up a tree branch, some under $40 if you wanna learn the dit-dahs. The equipment is way less important than how you set it up, and anything is better than nothing. Get on the air and have fun!

The only reason I still have Android is work apps in required to have that won't work properly without the Play Store. I guess I could carry two phones but I am definitely not that guy.

I love these games, but the fan service scenes sprinkled through like that are cringey as all hell. At least I never knew about this one, I bathed my Snake regularly.

It doesn't work if you don't pre-print this out.

You'd be surprised how much can be done at the edge with current cameras. I'm not sure exactly how these particular ones are set up, but the other major players in the space (Axis,Bosch,Panasonic) all have pretty surprising levels of local compute dedicated to "AI", and leveraging external VMS platforms can exponentially increase capabilities. It's pretty idiot proof once set up, as it's aimed at desk jockies that monitor and report with minimal systems training.

Again, not this specific system but this stuff is far from sci-fi anymore.

Spray paint. Krylon makes "stained glass" paints. Something dark and thick like violet would be pretty effective.

I work in security engineering, including massive video systems. With any commercial unit made in the last 5 years and any software past entry level consumer grade this is a non-issue. Especially if someone is using descriptive visual search when pulling up video vs just scanning through every motion event.
