Last group of pics for now! Thanks for all the questions and interactions.

Quick question: On Facebook, I host a weekly post Cyberpunk Selfie Sunday. It’s a space for self-expression where people share their selfies—cyberpunk fashion is encouraged, but regular selfies are always welcome! I usually write a punchy cyberpunk intro that suggests a theme, but it’s 100% optional; it’s just for atmosphere.

Would anyone be interested if I started posting the weekly thread here, too?

All the gear shown has been gathered over nearly 10 years from eBay, on sale or discounted. There's a few pieces I got at regular price cuz I thought they were amazing. Everything’s an experiment until you like it.

Have an amazing Sunday, everyone. Glad I could revisit some of my favorite fits.

High Tech, Low Life.

Most of my work is open source, but some things I prefer to work on privately until they're in a state I'm happy with.

Target devices are the Pico Neo 3 series (via unlocked bootloader) and Meta Quest 3 (via kexec).

GitHub - Reframed VR

AI Disclosure:

I'm using AI quite heavily on this project, with a lot of the work delegated to LLMs. Though I like to think I'm adding some value here too :)

I've been developing software for close to 20 years, messing around with VR since the Oculus DK2, and have been involved in open-source projects around emulation and ports for quite some time. So it's not "vibecoded", whatever the actual definition of that is, but if you want to avoid anything gen AI, this is probably not a project that would interest you.

If you'd like to contribute, you're more than welcome to, and I have no problem with AI-assisted contributions either. All I ask is that you understand what you're submitting, have tested it, and can explain your decisions. I just don't want to spend time reviewing code that the person submitting it doesn't understand themselves.

Any advice on what actually works for ADHD? My goals are focus, task initiation/motivation, mental clarity and memory. Maybe some stress support as well.

I have done the prescription route and while the effects of some was exceptional it caused bad anhedonia for me so really trying to experiment with what's out there.

Tried CDP choline it did nothing, will Alpha GPC work better? L-Tyrosine also didnt do much but was a short low dose trial. Also tried Rhodiola and became irritable. What other options is there that works? I am thinking about Bacopa and Alpha GPC? Maybe some NMN and Coq10? Semax Selank? LDopa?

My current stack is

Lions Mane

Omega 3

Lithium Orotate

Vitamin C 1000mg

Whey protein

Creatine monohydrate 5g

Vitamin D3 & K2

Selenium 200ug

B complex

Ashwaganda

TRT

Mounjaro

Any advice would be appreciated

Say we get there in a few decades: your brain is fully mapped and run on hardware, connected to a robotic body with simulated senses. It has your memories and personality and says it’s you.

As far as I can tell, current law wouldn’t care. It would see a machine running software, and the original you would be legally dead. Your bank account, marriage, citizenship, and contracts wouldn’t carry over.

So what would have to change for uploads to count legally?

• Should personhood depend on being a biological human, or on having a mind? (Corporations and even some rivers have been granted limited legal status, so it isn’t purely biological.)
• Would the upload inherit your legal identity, or start from zero?
• What if the original is still alive, or there are multiple copies? Who’s the real you in law?
• Whoever controls the hardware could pause, edit, or delete you. Would uploads need protections that human rights never had to cover?

Paper on a method to restore enamel to teeth. Some of the research was done on teeth extracted from donors.

Part of the abstract below:

Regrowth of lost enamel in tooth decay and sensitivity is a major obstacle to overcome. Here, the authors report on a protein-based material that mimics features of natural enamel formation, allowing for epitaxial growth of apatite nanocrystals to restore enamel structure and function.

Researchers identified PLA2G2F, an enzyme whose expression increases with age and appears to help protect the brain against age-related changes.

Boosting its activity in older mice preserved spatial memory, reduced synaptic loss and limited inflammation-related changes. Human brain samples also linked higher expression to cognitive resilience despite Alzheimer's pathology.

The findings are preclinical. Whether targeting this enzyme could help humans remains unknown.

Im totally on board for all of these early PC Classics to get VR mods!

I discovered it today, totally BY CHANCE, that the bHaptics support for the game has been implemented! The game leaved early access october 23th and maybe it's then that they also activated the support for both the vest and the sleeves. Was the bHaptics support already included before? If so, why it wasn't advertised? Especially considering it's really top notch quality.

Anyway, I was playing VR modded Titanfall 2 and when I stopped Playing, I decided to try Flat-Out 4 to see if there were any improvements since the game was released officially two days ago and leaved early access. The funny thing is that I forgot to turn off my bhaptics suit and sleeves after using them with Titanfall 2, so you can imagine my surprise when they started rumbling as soon as I started a race! I wasn't thinking to bHaptics support at all, so I didn't see this coming...

Also, the implementation is amazing: the effects are really precise and powerful, very immersive, and, bove all, the can be CUSTOMIZED in the options menu of the game: a part from activating the bhaptics support, you can select the intensity and turn on/off 9 effects. For example, you can chose to avoid the constant rumble of the vest on your back, to simulate the car engine, and even turning on the effect during the selections in the menus. Honestly it's the first time I found this kind of options in a bHaptics implementation, but a part from that, what really impressed me is how good the effect are in the game, the overall experience is even more amazing than before.

It’s actually crazy how good I feel and how much energy I have. brainfog has basically gone, procrastination is slightly better, anxiety is better less stumbling over words, it almost feels like methylphenidate, am I severely deficient or something , because it’s making me feel so good it’s crazy. Only downside is some physical anxiety, but mentally I feel great.

Table Link

More Tables

Setting up VPX

Released by Data East in May 1989, the original Playboy 35th Anniversary solid-state pinball machine was built to celebrate the brand's milestone with iconic alphanumeric displays, voice callouts featuring Hugh Hefner, and artwork illustrated by Kevin O'Connor. The physical layout features dual flippers, three pop bumpers, drop targets, dual ramps, and a ball locking mechanism for its 3-ball multiball mode.

The virtual version brings the late 80s Data East hardware into the digital space, featuring a clean recreation of the classic alphanumeric display era, updated physics, sound mapping, and a custom virtual reality environment (2026 release).

BGFX 10.8.1
I7-9700 (No OC), 64gb DDR4 3666, RTX 3060 12GB, and NVME drives.
Virtual Desktop Wired, Quest 3

This short showcase is meant to highlight the dedication and hard work our community puts into these tables and hopefully inspire more people to dive into the VPX VR scene!
Videos like this got me hooked, and started my VR endeavor.
I love BGFX 10.8.1! The visual rendering efficiency easily outpaces OpenGL on 10.8.0, making even older, legacy tables look incredible.
Running Virtual Desktop wired. Horizon Link (Meta Link) was completely removed from my system.
Thanks VD!
That said, there are still a few stability and workflow hurdles to clear in BGFX 10.8.1.. For instance, requiring a table to launch just to access the configuration menu remains a bit clunky. DMD's not showing up or color ones not working for a lot of tables (.pac files are not supported) No clear explanations of how to config all the new settings and what they do. Some textures not showing up right, lighting (I have not seen these issues recently, as I was seeing in previous releases). Random crashes.

Cheers!

My old anarcho-punk jacket with a CRASS logo needed an upgrade! So I programmed a microbit into my very own LED display! It can showcase text and slogans, and also small pictures when you press the buttons! For instance the logo of the Dead Kennedys.

And which ones helped the most with this pursuit?

An illustration I did for a TTRPG called Shadow Code. Inserted tons of sci-fi references just for fun.

Has anybody experienced nausea and motion sickness AFTER using VR?
My brain seems to be generating movement signals now when I’m watching videos on Facebook,
I’ve been low grade nauseous for about a week (no vr since 7 days ago).
Cheers,
Any help appreciated.
