ETHiX Racing Team Race Recap
NSR Owltone Designs Cup Series
Daytona International Speedway
Duels at Daytona - February 11th, 2026
Event Details: Two 60-lap races to set the starting grid for next week's Daytona 500.
Practice Results:
#81 Steven Carlile - P3
#47 Chelsea Carter - P19
Duel 1: Carter and Carlile qualified into the 1st Duel, starting 5th and 6th respectively. Both drivers worked together throughout the race, and would be in prime position with 2 laps to go. The top lane stalled out and the two drivers slipped back, but a wreck coming to the checkered flag had them moving up through the carnage.

This is beautiful. Someone had remastered and updated the first The Legend of Zelda. Levels have changed, story touches from throughout the mainline series are weaved into the narrative, new items from other Zelda games are weaved in, and there are great quality of life improvements. My only gripe is you can only use the keyboard, not a game controller. Or I haven’t seen a way to.
This is a 30 minute playthrough exploration of the mid game. Link to free game download in video description.

Highguard’s developer lays off ‘most’ of its staff just over two weeks after launch https://thever.ge/XnQc #Entertainment #Gaming #News
Looking at Elder Scrolls Online alternatives for various reasons, currently taking a month break but missing the harvesting and crafting grind across the various landscapes. I also know I can get a bit burnt out with having 9 characters across 2 servers, all with interlinking stories (some of which have been written up).
Black Desert by Pearl Abyss has caught my eye, and not sure if I will find a place there? I frequently play solo, only teaming up for specific bosses or events if I feel I can help, but I like good stories and NPC's. Black Desert from the trailers I have watched on PS5 looks very beautiful, has a Ghost of Tsushima and God of War feel too it. Would welcome feedback from anyone who has played or is currently playing.
First time exploring Criticker, a movie, series and game review/rater/tracker. It's clear that somewhat proper data nerds have put this up as there seems to be pretty much every way to interact with my ratings that I had hoped Imdb had.
- There is a proper recommendation system with explanation of how it works!
- You can rate seasons.
- It shows me users who my taste aligns with.
- I can see how actors, directors etc. compare based on my ratings.
- Games side includes boardgames,
Sure it doesn't have everything and the "currently in cinema" is USA based but adding things seemed somewhat easy.
Finding better replacements for industry giants is always so reassuring
The NSR Owltone Designs Cup Series is set to kick off its 2026 points season with the highly anticipated Duels at Daytona, taking place tonight (Feb 11th). This event will set the starting grid for next week's Daytona 500.
Only the two front row starters (the pole and "outside pole") are determined by the standard knockout qualifying system. For all other drivers, it only determines their starting position in their Duel, with odd placed cars being entered into the first Duel and even placed cars going in the second.

i just started my nintendo switch again wanting to use it as a handheld to play minecraft, long story short, the only games that have multiplayer without needing nintendo swotch online are very few(i only know of fortnite and rocket leauge). This is why consols are stupid and suck. Also i used the joy cons again after a while and god they suck compared to the switch pro controller(which i mostly use for tf2). the joycons are trash compared to the switch pro controller. I probably spend the same ammount of money on this stupid platform as th einitial purchase price of my "everything server".

Currently enjoying Grandia II on the #Dreamcast. It's a really good game, but there's a part of the combat theme that sounds exactly like a line from Maneater by Hall & Oates.

My #gaming #tech thoughts:
(well-informed, but nowhere near commercially viable dev worker - i'm a gamer/user, who watches #DigitalFoundry and #BranchEducation)
Screen Space #Reflections vs. #RayTracing / #PathTracing
i keep wondering, whether it'd be "cheaper" to "just" render out another "camera", and map it onto a reflective surface?
Y'know, instead of using RT/PT?
That'd certainly get rid of those ugly "lack of data" SSR artifacts - visibly disappearing reflections (culling?).

Getting 6DOF with older 3DOF XR glasses
Video: How to get 6DOF with older 3DOF XR glasses using Breezy and OpenTrack
Breezy can now turn a 3DOF (degree of freedom) device into a 6DOF device by augmenting the missing positional data from a webcam. Spoiler! It is not the cam strapped to my face – this is just for the demo you can watch here, on PeerTube or YouTube.
The cam, that I used for this task, is sitting on my monitor. How this works? Well not with magic! This requires a somewhat decent webcam – really anything from the last decade should suffice – and OpenTrack, of course.
OpenTrack is a head-tracking application with multiple tracker plugins. One of it’s plugins is the Neuralnet Tracker, an AI powered extension that comes with a bunch of different head pose models to choose from. With a webcam connected this can now locally run the detection model with very low latency – so it’s usually blazing fast on most systems!
This alone is already 6DOF and is used a lot for gaming already – so what does Breezy do with this? Simple! It reads the forwarded data via an UDP listener, a very quick way to transmit data on a local network or system [and complements it’s own rotational data with the missing positional data].
With this a Breezy user still gets the rotational data from the XR’s very sensitive IMU, that is short for Inertial Measurement Unit btw, and the not so important positional data sent from OpenTrack.
This works of course only while the webcam can still see the user. So sadly no walking around while using this.
And the best thing? It can also send the data back! This means that the very same combined values can be forwarded – e.g. to a computer game – benefiting from the best available data sources for rotation and position.
That’s not the main use case, of course, and only of importance for some nerds like myself. This is mostly relevant for the productivity features of Breezy, because sometimes a text may be too small to read with the glasses on. We do no longer have to increase the font size – we can now simply lean in! That is a feature that is usually only available with glasses, that come with little cameras of their own, so they can have native 6DOF support. And when I say native I mean that such glasses usually also outsource exactly this calculation to the connected computer. It’s my understanding that this seems to require a lot of computation power, which is something many XR users with the more modern devices complain about.
Well not so much with OpenTrack and the Neuralnet tracker, that utilizes the ONNX runtime under the hood. That’s a high-performance, cross-platform engine to power exactly such models locally. The runtime automatically makes use of the best available hardware acceleration, if there is any.
Overall I’m rather hyped about this feature – especially because I’m using the OpenTrack output option of Breezy for quite some time now, to get a VR like experience with stereoscopic 3D rendering in Side-By-Side mode. I can now keep using my older XR glasses and still enjoy this more modern 6DOF feature. This is rather expensive hardware after all.
And all that on Linux PC!
