Currently trying to track down a Steam copy of Elevator to The Moon! I managed to find the Rift version but that obviously doesn't work without Oculus components. I think the SteamVR version might be lost media at this point. All the links are dead and there are no torrents. I managed to find the GearVR version but that doesn't work with Oculus Touch controllers (the button it asks you to use to open the menu for a tutorial doesn't exist, softlocking the game) https://steamdb.info...

@siv@mastodon.praxis.red @marti@social.martiabernathey.com @dansup@mastodon.social So having five different accounts for five different server software is more ideal because each one wants to break the spec and do its own thing?

@marti@social.martiabernathey.com @dansup@mastodon.social This comes from a social networking perspective inherited from sites like Facebook where you must have an account on every site. E-mail, for instance, does not work this way. XMPP does not work this way. If your emails were dropped by your recipient because they didn't have pictures you'd be furious.
