The main issue with games like A Plague Tale is the cpu optimization is horrid. Like how witcher 3 dx12 maxes 1 or 2 threads on just about every cpu (with ray tracing on) or that Gotham Knights game that came out was still dipping to 30s with a 13600k lol. Even CP2077 is in the same boat, although at this point, I think it's more demanding that unoptimized.

You wouldn't really want to literally FaceTime in VR. They are just using the term FaceTime to mean a videocall, but the VR version - like VRChat.

I know Microsoft Teams does standard video conferencing with avatar options. Of course VTuber software all supports this too.

That’s already a thing, it’s called VR Chat with body trackers. Hell, half of VRChat is just people having cybersex. You walk into a room and knuckles the echidna is getting head from Hello Kitty while Goku and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo jack off in the corner.

Avatars? Does that mean you can customize what your appearance is? Like, imagine you can make yourself the fucking Hulk while FaceTiming your good friend Garry. And your avatar would actually follow your move sets as well. Welp, now that I have that in my mind, I can now imagine people sexting in FaceTime while their avatars are different people. Like one person’s avatar is Spider-Man and the other’s is Batman. Would that be called Sextiming?

A phone is literally a computer. It takes commands and puts out signals. Whatever signals the raspberry pi puts out to the printer, the phone can do through USB.

The machine that's doing it doesn't matter. Phone, desktop, laptop, calculator, pi, Xbox. As long as the right software is there, and the machine is fast enough to do what needs to be done, any device can send out the right signals.

So USB is how you connect it to a printer.
