I feel like I’ve read stories of people freaking out falling asleep in their headsets and waking up not knowing what was going on for a little bit

A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is sleeping 6ft underground with the rest of the garbage

Thank god? So you’re working with him?

Buddy you’re going out the airlock for that one

Hey that’s great. Don’t care though. What are the efficiency improvements like? Or are there none?

I mean, I played most of my library in that space. I ‘S’ ranked plenty of Beat Saber maps on Hard. Played Space Pirate Trainer a few times. The Lab. Phasmophobia. Etc. You can genuinely easily play most VR games seated if you really wanted to, even if it’s not as nice as having standing room

Eh, I literally played Alyx on a gaming laptop with a 1060 in front of my dining room table in no more than a 3x3 cube with a $300 headset. That is not a very high barrier to entry for existing pc gamers at least. A Steam Deck exclusive may fare a little better since it’s a self contained console, but I doubt it would do that much better if VR was enough to discourage people tbh

Very doubtful tbh. You can look at HL: Alyx as an example. It sold well I’m sure, but not Nintendo level. As much as people like to belly ache about VR being too hard to get into, it’s truly no more expensive than a Steam Deck if you actually bother to take more than 2 seconds to legitimately look into it.

I played Alyx on a mobile 1060 and a $300 headset and while it wasn’t top of the line, it was still perfectly playable. I imagine most gamers these days have at least that, but Alyx absolutely did not sell like hot cakes. And I doubt the Steam Deck would either, even for HL3.

I mean they just announced the Xbox Ally today at a presentation, so it certainly doesn’t seem like it

I FOUND THE GIMP, GUYS.

I’D SAY BEAT HIM UP BUT HE’D PROBABLY LIKE THAT.

Shield Hero. I loved the initial premise of an anti-hero doing what he could to just survive in a world that was against him. His only companion a slave that he was raising almost like a surrogate daughter, the two of them against the world.

I thought it was an interesting premise. Then the tone completely shifted and it turned into a generic power fantasy isekai where basically everyone loved him. Completely lost me the second they introduced Filo or whatever her name was.

OH GOD I CAN’T SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY EYES

Sold the Civic, I did. Marked vehicle, it was. Hmmm

Nope, no space with all the ketamine

Congrats on your field promotion

If they go out of their way to hurt you, or are so indifferent about you that they hurt you in the process of doing something else and decide they don’t care.

People who value you and your feelings so little that they would do either are not worth keeping around, and certainly aren’t worth your effort emotionally to be able to forgive

I’m gonna be wild here and say Brink actually was fun as hell to play, but what killed it was it being so jank and being lacking in content. The parkour and gunplay was a ton of fun

Been looking to replace my Watch 3 in the next few years. Feels like Samsung hasn’t done anything meaningful with their newer watches to truly replace this one, and have genuinely started eyeing the OnePlus watches instead for actually doing at least something new

King shit 🙌

Honestly to a certain extent I think being decentralized is somewhat beneficial. Perhaps it’s just the fact I’ve been visiting forums for like 20 years and feeling jaded, but I never liked that any knuckle dragger could easily make an account and act like an ass.

It’s not a very high bar to clear to figure out how to sign up for lemmy, so if you can’t even figure that out, maybe it’s for the best to help prevent polluting the user pool. If you’re gonna be an ass, you should at least have to work for it.

Should replace it with one that has the other logos throwing theirs in the trash. I’m petty enough for that at least
