The way it’s usually done is a second camera gets inserted where the mirror is and does its own rendering pass. The result is then applied as a texture on the front. So what you see is what that camera sees.

However there have been very creative solutions in the past. For example Duke3D actually had the whole room mirrored behind the mirror and the mirror was just a piece of transparent geometry the player couldn’t pass through. The engine would spawn in an extra sprite that the player controls, but with the controls reversed. That way you could actually see “yourself” in the mirror.

Any rollout like this has a few percent of units assigned for RMA purposes. It’s absolutely normal to have some hardware failures and replacing them is expected beforehand.

As far as McConnell is concerned, I feel like for a long time now even though the lights are on there is nobody home. When he froze up during that press conference in 2023 it was hard to look at. The man was confused, scared and looked like he wanted to cry but forgot how to do so. I absolutely hate the man, but in my book nobody deserves something like that. But still they prop him up, instead of sending him off on retirement, they keep his walking corpse around to keep the power. I’m not sure if McConnell himself is aware of what is happening, or even wants to be part of it. I wouldn’t put it past the old bastard for sure. But at this point his judgement is clearly impaired and keeping him working is elder abuse IMHO.

Perfect how they are talking about child rape and the victim defending their selves by biting the penis. But let’s sensor the word bitch, the readers would be shocked and outraged if they read such a foul word. Wtf is wrong with people these days…
