Been playing Pistol Whip again. Such a great game. The Black Magic "hard" level, with Reckless and Hell options is ridiculously hard. Finishing at all is a feat.
Was wondering how the hell the top players managed to score so highly. I was in like 4th place thinking I was playing a practically perfect game.
But it turns out only with 188 hits. The top three, I noticed, has 189 hits! There's a secret dude!?
Found him, flying around in the sky mid level on the right.
Nice. That's me 3rd in the global leaderboard for Black Magic Hard Reckless Hell now then.
Maybe I shouldn't be giving the game away. If someone learns of the secret dude from this post and then beats me into 4th place I'll be miffed.

this is the first time since 2020 i've been okay with dailying linux on my desktop with at least 90% of my stuff working, and also the first time i've felt like VR on linux on my quest 3 is nearly as usable as it is on windows. most of the online multiplayer games i've been playing don't block linux too, shoutout splitgate 1/2, the finals and RIP xdefiant

Done some more work with the VR animation engine today.
Seems to now be working that I can lay in the path that the character will walk, and then puppet their limbs as they walk it.
Done more work to standardize how all the slapdash episode structure is so now there's also a #wip #starshipsd #gamedev
