All right,
this time we got it?
Yeah,
we got it this time.
All right,
we got,
we've got audio this time,
so we're gonna go over the things again.
How are you doing?
Not good.
There's a sort of cracks in my tranquilly um that are appearing.
I don't really know why,
so I gotta figure that one out.
Oh,
I'm sorry,
dog,
I just accidentally poked the dog in the eye.
There we go.
But um.
Some good news on that front.
On the 9th now,
it was going to be the 29th and then it was going to be the 1st,
and now it's the 9th.
I've got nose surgery,
which should fix all long standing issues I've had with sleep and energy,
so
that should be good.
Maybe that'll fix my tranquilly gaps,
or maybe this dog sitting on my lap will.
Someone's asking what the dog's doing.
The dog's trying to lick my face.
That's what's going on.
Mister dog is trying to lick my face.
The nurse says,
What's the cheese doing?
Oh,
she don't know if I have any.
Yeah,
I've got some cheese in the fridge.
It's just sat in the fridge,
chilling.
Uh,
Raid says completely blank message.
Thank you for your completely blank message.
Better,
let's not bark,
OK?
We don't need to bark,
remember?
Yeah,
we don't need to bark.
No,
we don't need to bark.
We don't need to bark.
And then Beagle has an actual resonant question with how do we stop seeing
non-contact sessions in the contact sessions list?
Like for sessions we know we don't have any contacts in,
they still appear.
Uh,
you'd probably have to log that as a bug.
That's just,
it's something too
like specific for me to like
guess on
right now.
There could be a number of clauses for that one,
so it won't have to be a bug.
I apologise that like.
The answer to some questions is go file a bug report,
but like,
other than me digging into the contact list code live on camera right now,
um,
there's no real other way that I can figure that one out.
With that,
we don't have any other questions,
so if anyone here has any,
do,
uh,
get them,
get them in that thread,
otherwise we're going to be sat here and wrap up quite quickly.
I'll check the questions in a minute or two.
I'm just gonna tab around a little bit.
Hope everyone else's days have been fine.
I've got
lots of work to do today and then um
I don't know,
maybe I'll just take another nap at some point.
Alright,
back in taking a look at questions.
I don't see any.
Uh,
what do people want to do?
It's quite a week.
What do we do?
So Beagle has asked,
uh,
what's going on in the development in the background.
Uh,
you can see all of it.
We talk about it all the time,
still audio.
Uh,
Fruchs is at LVFC Las Vegas Ferry Convention right now though,
um,
so there's been no,
uh,
updates on what Fruchs has been working on for
a little bit and no builds because of that.
Um,
but,
but that's fine.
Is entitled to,
to,
to some vacation,
of course,
and um,
there should be a build after that at some point with whatever's included.
It looks like audio is
almost there,
we're at the sort of testing point now.
I'm actually kind of surprised at how fast it was,
so
that's cool.
There we go,
Freaks just got back,
there we go.
Yeah,
I saw loads of people on Twitter,
they were like,
it's ending,
you know,
it's over,
we had a good con.
There was even some memes because apparently the last
day of the con coincided with the Pope's death,
so people were meming that.
I got a lot of native fixes coming up,
um,
I don't know which build they'll be in,
but
I got Brotley fixed for
Linux,
I got
uh the Steam.
Um,
integration fixed for Linux.
Uh,
there's
some changes to sharp font I need to do for Linux,
but I'll,
I'll sort that out.
This is all headless stuff,
not Linux native,
but
still relevant.
Uh,
and then of course compressorator,
that's needed as well.
I did that one a long time ago.
I just forgot to.
Uh,
PR,
the end result.
We'll we'll get that sorted.
Uh,
Sroubadour says,
is there a way to build custom avatars within the resin?
Absolutely.
I presume,
um,
that you're new to Resinite.
I haven't seen your name before.
Yeah,
you can build custom avatars inside Resinite with whatever you want really.
It doesn't even have to be a 3D model.
You could literally just put like a slice of cheese.
In the head slot,
and that would be the head of the avatar.
Um,
try it out,
check out some tutorials,
ask for some more help in in questions and help or or user assistance.
Uh,
someone will help you out,
particularly mentors.
They've got the,
uh,
green light bulb in their name.
Beagle has a non-resonant question,
which is what type of pizza do I prefer?
I prefer thin,
um,
thick crust sometimes feels like you're eating a loaf of bread
that happens to have toppings.
Which is like a valid,
like it's a valid food substance,
but it's not like what I want from pizza,
so thin is thin is better.
As for toppings,
I,
I literally don't care.
Uh,
Marty's asking about the internals of Protoflux.
I don't know the internals of Protoflux,
uh,
so I can't really offer that.
I'd suggest taking that question to uh Fruchs's office hours,
um,
residents,
whatever you would call it,
sure on Sundays,
uh,
for that.
What that means though in a sort of non
um.
Non-technical level is the,
the representation of the protoflux code that you see in the
world is different from the representation that the computer sees.
Um,
and there is a translation layer between those two
that forms,
structures,
logic,
and,
and code
that
is that acceleration structure and stack-based VM and stuff like that.
But the actual technical details,
those.
a fixed question.
It's kind of easier to to to think about when you remember
that
um
Protoflux technically
could run in a different engine,
so it could run in,
in,
you know,
like a
a
a different game.
Like difficult,
probably,
probably somewhere there would be some blocker that would,
would make this impossible.
But like you could hypothetically.
If you had access to VR Chat source,
eventually get Protolus running in VR Chat.
Something would probably stop you at some point along the way,
but it's like hypothetically possible.
But yeah,
Source engine,
Godot,
like all,
all that stuff.
Basically,
like if it's an engine,
then,
um,
it
theoretically could run it.
The point being is that it's like,
it's like a separate,
um,
it's a separate
component and runtime of the engine.
And so that means that
it can run isolated from the engine,
and it does frequently in the tests.
Here's an example of like
pizza that's basically just bread,
right?
So look how much bread there is to toppings.
Uh,
for instance,
it's a bit more complicated,
it could run load for structured stuff,
but all the nodes.
Specifically also interact with fruit extension stuff.
So those wouldn't.
Yeah,
none of the fruit extension nodes would.
The core nodes would,
there might be some overlap where there are some,
some oddities,
stuff that wouldn't work.
Um,
and if,
if,
you know,
the other engine was serious about implementing Protoflux,
they would write their own,
uh,
structures
that would work for their engine.
And then there's like Chicago deep pitcher pizza.
Which is
like,
that's not a pizza,
that's some kind of like pie.
Here we go,
here we go,
here's a good example.
This pizza here
is
on the cusp of being too much bread.
Like,
it's OK,
like I would eat it,
it's just a basic cheese pizza,
anyone would eat it,
but like
you could see how the pizza,
like the the the bread is
just starting to be a bit like,
why are you so big,
bro?
Why there's so much bread,
you know?
I went off of the,
the really thick,
doughy bready pizzas
when,
um,
I think like the toppings fell off a slice once
and I realised I was essentially just eating
like a giant bread roll that was vaguely covered in tomato sauce.
Like it wasn't pizza anymore.
I don't see any additional questions.
Do people have any additional questions?
We can always leave off early.
I can also open up the tech tree.
I can,
I can do anything really.
I can do anything.
Here,
you,
you want,
want dog cam?
Here,
have dog cam.
It's starting to get warm here in uh in Washington
and uh
that means it's actually
like even more dangerous for this dog to be asleep on my lap
because they turn.
Um,
they turn into basically a hot water bottle and then they,
they fall asleep on me
and their temperature skyrockets because they're asleep,
and then my temperature skyrockets and then I get
real sleepy and I fall asleep in my chair.
I think yesterday I fell asleep in my chair
about 4 times because of this little guy.
He's going to be grumpy for a few days after the nose surgery.
Yeah,
I'll have to like
sleep upright for a couple of days and probably not bend down,
which isn't like a problem,
you just crouch down.
Incoming random tangent.
Did you know that the usual way that people bend
down to pick up stuff is learned and not like
um
like intuited?
If you look at like younger children,
when they like get go to pick something off the floor,
they'll do a squat,
which is the more like
kinesthetically,
muscular wise,
you know,
health wise.
a better way to get things off the ground,
but like,
modern society as I stand on my soapbox,
uh,
is,
you know,
then somehow teaches people that like,
ah,
no,
keep your legs straight,
bend your entire back downwards just to pick up that thing you dropped.
Tea,
you should be,
uh,
popping a squat.
Also,
um,
I don't remember where I read this,
but,
uh,
dogs,
the behaviour where they,
the male dogs cock their legs against the tree and pee on the tree,
that is also learned,
and it's learnt from other dogs,
so it's like a viral behaviour.
And you always know that because dogs that have been
like mistreated or left alone.
Usually don't know how to pee up trees,
um,
and part of their recovery is,
you know,
they'll
get to a dog rescue,
be let free and
see how the dogs pee good trees,
and be like,
fancy a go at that and pee on a tree.
It's interesting when you expand that to like humans as well.
It's like what behaviours that you do?
In your daily life
are learnt either from your upbringing or like social political things that like,
not don't make any sense,
but like what behaviours are
not yours,
right,
that you're doing something and there's a very good reason that you're doing it,
but you don't really know why you're doing it.
There's some really big obvious ones like taxes and stuff like that,
right?
Fruk says there's a really good book called The Meme Machine by Susan Blackmore.
OK.
Yeah,
how ideas replicate.
Cos like,
you know,
like resonate's written in C,
but there is a
like it,
it didn't need to be C,
it could have been a different language.
So there's like a,
you know,
even there,
there's like that.
It was the best like choice.
C's an amazing language for the,
for the engine right now.
It's it's just like,
you know,
but we're getting into sort of like does free will exist and stuff,
and the answer is that I don't know.
I have free will to go buy a giant bag of cheese puffs and eat them all,
so I'm,
I'm thinking I'm fine.
Why did you buy the bag of cheese puffs?
Yeah,
usually when I like eat an entire bag of cheese puffs,
it's because I need carbs.
I want carbs.
It's usually on a day that I've forgotten
to uh eat properly,
um,
and I,
I also sometimes find if I've got a lot to do,
I'll do a bag of cheese puffs.
There's something about like,
I don't know,
like a
huge bag of
carbs
that enables me to get a lot of work done.
Uh,
Zen says when will Tuxedo Me return?
You'll you'll see them in,
in,
in resinate if I'm working or whatever.
Just depends what's going on.
It's been real difficult to get into resinate like in VR for like quite a while,
um.
And one of the reasons is like
there's always something I could be doing in like Visual Studio
or something like that or a test builder is I,
um,
that
like
I need to kind of preserve those system resources,
like I can't have two copies of the game running whilst I'm working.
And then when I'm not working,
there is an element of
I don't want to go on resonate cause I'm just gonna think about work and like I,
I do overpower that a lot of the time,
but
you know,
it's it's interesting.
I wanna attend more,
maybe,
maybe after the nose surgery,
everything will be better.
Who knows?
Uh,
it has a chance to make it so that
all of the sleep issues I've been having for
The entirety of my existence are fixed,
including all the breathing issues,
etc.
or it will do absolutely nothing,
and I have no way to know,
but there we go.
All right,
we don't have any other questions,
so I'm,
I'm tempted to just leave off here.
If you guys have anything else you'd like to talk about though,
do let me know.
Fru says,
what did I miss over the past two weeks or so.
Uh,
not much.
I think you're
fairly well caught up with the goings on here.
He's falling asleep.
All right,
I'll give you a few more minutes for questions,
but then we'll leave off here.
I'm probably gonna have to
take it easy for a few minutes whilst this dog sleeps on me.
He deserves like a good long um
outside activity.
I'm not using the word here cause I don't want to wake him up,
but,
uh,
he deserves a long
outside activity.
Um,
he hasn't had one,
a couple of days.
He still goes out,
we still have
reasonable length activities,
but I want to give him a
long outside activity,
uh because
it's like some of the best time I have in the day is just
exploring this,
the local area with him.
The airy,
uh,
in a,
in,
in the wrong location,
but that's fine,
says what happened to your voice,
hope you're all healthy,
sounds like a flu.
Uh,
it might be because I'm reclined and,
and,
and
doing that with a dog on my chest.
It also might be due to the
upcoming nose surgery.
I'll be visiting uh VRxis at some point this year,
soon,
next couple of months or so.
And I am so excited
that it has been lined up such that I will be fully recovered from
nose adjustments,
um,
by the time I go over there,
cos it'll be like,
basically the reason why I wanted this done as soon
as possible once I realised it could be done,
is that summer's coming up and I didn't want to
go through another summer not being able to breathe.
Uh,
Osie says,
opinion on snickerdoo cookies.
I always forget what's in a snickerdoo or cookies.
Um,
there's also a problem.
I,
I don't know if this is gonna make any sense because I'm just like weird.
Um,
American store bought cookies are gross as hell,
and I have no idea why.
I don't know if they use like
a different flour or a different sugar variety.
It's just horrible,
and I don't know what the fuck they like,
what are they doing?
I've I've got some um
like extra stuff to add to that though.
Which is,
uh,
over the holiday period,
someone from the community's grandmother
sent me a box of her homemade cookies.
She just wanted to,
and I let her and it was very nice and I,
I very much enjoyed them,
but her cookies tasted close
to the mass produced American ones.
So there's got to be some sort of ingredient or recipe in the way that
common,
you know,
most people make cookies in America.
That leads to a selection of ingredients that leads
to a particular taste that I'm picking up on,
and it's insane.
um,
like I ate them,
they're still good cookies,
right?
But the entire time I was eating said cookies,
I was like,
UK ones stroke,
my mother's would,
would,
would be,
wouldn't have this,
this weird quality about them.
It's not bad or good,
it's just like really hyper noticeable.
Jo says,
how do they make cookies in Britain?
Yeah,
probably the same way,
it's just like different in ingredient.
I don't know what it is.
Like I might have to ask,
ask my mum,
see if she knows.
Uh,
she
used to live in the UK obviously that's where I'm from,
but now she lives in Spain,
and she has mentioned some ingredient difficulties in her cooking in Spain.
Um,
there's certain
vegetables or spices that she can't get,
so,
um,
maybe she'll
know something.
I mean it was just weird cause like I,
it was like hyper noticeable.
It was to the point where it was like
if you gave me a,
like a,
you know,
blind taste test of two identical looking,
you know,
bowls of cookies,
I would be able to identify the.
American one.
Even if it like I,
I feel like even if it wasn't
store bought,
like even if it was homemade,
provided it was homemade by an American
following an American recipe using American ingredients,
I think I'd be able to tell.
And I'm just like,
I'm not really sure what to think about that.
Moving on from cookies,
I guess,
Zena says,
what's the most interesting study article done that used to resonate?
Um,
I think this one technically still says like
Neo's in it.
I'm not sure,
I'd have to double check.
It's like less like the whole like Neo's name is
like less of an issue the longer it goes on,
but still,
um,
you can see here,
I'm posting it into here,
the,
uh,
Ame uh
Australia New Zealand Journal of Surgery.
I always have to like really
cognitively hard process that name of the the journal
cos it's like ANZ is is it's weird anyway.
Um,
that particular paper there is a top viewed article.
So that's the most interesting one of note.
There is one that isn't,
um.
You got that scholarship?
I thought you didn't get it.
Anyway,
um,
there is one that is pending.
I actually have to
um speak to a few people,
see like when that's going to be published,
cause that one's really cool.
Uh,
that one,
there was a delay in publishing it,
uh,
cos it might have like commercial applications or something.
Uh,
I think we'll close off here cos we haven't really got much coming in,
um.
Zenosis,
and are these
kind of study expected to come for resinate?
Has there been?
Yeah,
there's a couple,
like,
I don't know like what wording will be used in the actual like um
like article text,
whether it'll be Neos resonate or just
generic VR solution,
it depends.
Um,
but there's a couple coming out
that will be good,
um,
for certain.
Uh,
Josh,
I need to do that,
but I'm going to continually forget to do it.
Uh,
so I guess.
Uh,
Venport asks,
is there any interesting business news?
At some point this year I'm gonna be going to Europe,
and at some point this year I'm probably going to be going to Japan.
That's an interesting business,
yeah.
Uh,
that's about it though.
Alright,
it's like,
you,
uh,
you slipped in a question before the end there.
Uh,
how confident is the team in the banovation system?
So
the,
the interesting thing about the banovation system is that
we can't really talk about how it works,
which is the first important thing.
And then the second thing is,
like,
the more I tell you about it,
even
to do with it not working,
like any information I provide
gives you more and more information about how it works.
So I have to be careful about what I say,
um.
I am satisfied with the ban ovation system.
It is never going to be
100% foolproof,
and that's fine,
that's what the moderation team are there for as well,
but
um.
It's there and it's quite good.
Like because I know how it works and I've looked into it,
like I even touched it at some point,
like I know,
I know how to get around it.
Like getting round it for me is like
tying my shoelaces
and someone can figure that out,
sure,
but then we'll either improve it
or we'll figure out that they got around it and and and ban them.
It's actually the same thing with like any sort of punishment or
justice system or law or legal system or rule or policy.
It's never gonna catch 100%,
but it just,
it like it removes the overhead,
you know?
Like,
are cops gonna stop all crime?
No.
Are they a deterrent?
Hell yeah.
And do they stop some crime?
Yes.
You don't need to bark at the door.
You want to lick my face?
OK,
cool.
Uh eddport says that's the same thing Bob was fitting Japan for.
Yeah,
there's a bunch of like business clients out there that,
um,
could do with some face to face time with various parts of the team,
so that's why we go out there physically.
Um,
when dealing with different nationalities and business,
it's interesting to see the cultural differences that happen.
So what happens in Japan a lot is that business dealings are more
driven by the social outcomes than the sort
of factual or business outcomes or financial outcomes.
So,
making a good social impression with a Japanese business is,
is sometimes more important than having the right financials.
Or something like that.
So more face time is good.
So
Bob was out there doing a lot of conversations with various people,
but what we wanna do is,
is probably some sort of like
Bob
plus a technical representative,
um,
because the,
the whole technical angle can't be discussed with,
with,
with Bob,
he's not that technical.
He does all right,
but like,
you know,
if,
if they wanna talk code or they wanna talk like integrations,
it's not gonna happen.
I also need to look at the
upcoming like furry con list as well.
I know that I plan to do BLFC.
I don't know like
what the sort of general resonate
consensus around BLFC this year there is though,
so depending on that,
it might be a different 1 I02,
yeah,
and that no no no travel.
Yeah,
Bob is fantastic at like foot in the door and like anything
like fun,
it's it's like weird like if you like,
you could like draw like a chart.
And it would be like a pie chart of like Bob's skills,
and it would definitely be like finances and like
the
beginnings of the business,
you know,
sort of like,
I don't want to say sales cos like Bob doesn't really want to do sales themselves,
but
they're they're good at getting the foot in the door like you said,
uh,
and then of course they need,
they need me to sort of
go in and and fix it.
So Bob and some other team members basically go like,
hey,
um,
you want to do this thing?
Yeah,
let's do this thing.
Let's get some paperwork together,
let's get some money going,
and then Bob comes to me and says,
like,
how do we do this?
And then I go to Fruits and I say,
so we need to do this
and I'll do it,
but like help.
And then we do it.
Uh,
Luxis,
following the discussion above,
will we ever get an update to my website?
No.
um.
That'll do.
Like the,
the situation hasn't changed,
it's just that like
it's
less of an issue,
um,
to,
to mention,
to mention Neos or whatever depending on what's going on.
Did like Oblivion remastered just launched as well,
is that today?
Yeah.
Oblivion Remastered launched today,
uh,
so if you guys
played Oblivion,
uh,
you might want to play Oblivion Remastered.
It's kind of good.
I'll have to
look into that at some point.
Muck says I recall there was a discussion about a video response.
Would it be possible to do so?
Has that changed in any way following what occurred in the past 4 years?
I don't think we ever like committed to do a video response.
I did say that I would
do some videos explaining the situation,
um,
but as things crystallised more,
it was to the point where it was like the more we say the worst,
right?
So we,
we quite kind of limited our messaging.
And now it's just kind of like,
does it really matter?
Do we care?
Like I know a bunch of people are still pissed off at like
uh Neos the company,
but like it's not our problem anymore.
Olivion's already got a VR mod,
that's good.
Beagle says,
what's the timeline on Ditching Unity again?
Um,
yeah,
that,
that video is probably the progress.
I mean,
I guess I can just,
just briefly,
I'll put up the uh tech tree
cos that can talk about
how we get there from a non
like timing approach or whatever.
Uh,
very just,
no,
you're not,
you're not meant to write there,
but,
but don't worry about it.
Uh,
all right,
so if we go over to the tech tree here,
you can see
what we need to do the audio system rework or probably how do I,
how do I get to,
oh,
OK,
this needs to be sent to back.
There we go,
we can put audio there.
So audio is the,
the,
the next biggest,
um,
chunk of work that needs to be done.
Uh you can take a look at the testing threads cause uh
we're making good progress there,
and then we can start working on this,
and then
that will do the,
the like
splitting.
I guess we can just like meme for a second and put.
Uh,
OZ's asking about physics sweeps.
Yeah,
Cyrus still working on those,
there's some back and forth with
interactions between,
uh,
Beppo and our land,
like resonate land.
Part of the problem there is because,
um,
for sweeps,
there's a lot of data that you need to sort of manage
because you have to sort of define a shape.
And then sweep that and collect all the hits and stuff.
As for your question on Ratra audio,
uh,
Beagle,
I,
I don't know.
There is the thread over in resin issues that talks about
um the progress
in audio and some of the stuff there.
So I guess you can,
you can take a look at that.
I'll get you a link to it in just a second.
I got a.
