I think about this post a lot

That’s coming when they announce HL3 next week dw

“Please drink verification can to access the fridge”

“THE VERIFICATION CAN IS IN THE FRIDGE YOU DUMBASS AI”

Bit disappointed to see only 4 tracking cameras. Willing to bet tracking is gonna be horrid when at waist level still. That’s an issue that has been plaguing VR headsets with inside out tracking since the beginning, and it’s frustrating it looks like they still didn’t bother fixing it on a headset that almost certainly isn’t gonna be cheap to start with

Insulting people’s looks is kinda shitty tbh. Judge him for the things he could control, like being an absolutely massive piece of shit, not for things he couldn’t

Nyo fank u, iz full :3

Skimming the thread, sounds like a typical case of clicking ads/links you probably shouldn’t. Probably won’t affect anyone here, but you may be getting a call from your mom about what a “bitcoin” is soon

I will not, thank you

I’ve said this plenty of times but this stigma of VR is a REALLY REALLY weird one, especially since I keep seeing it. There are so many arcades and whatnot you can try VR where it’s just tethered in place. So many VR experiences are designed such that you can absolutely play them sitting down in a chair. The idea you need a “holodeck room” breaks down the second you look into it all.

Not only that, but the Quest can play VR games, and it’s running a phone processor. You don’t need top of the line hardware, just enough to run a normal video game, which I’m willing to bet if you’re a pc gamer, you literally have more than enough.

I beat Alyx on a $250 headset and a laptop with an underclocked 1060. In my shitty 800 sq ft apartment’s dining room. And it was still an absolutely phenomenal experience. Was it top of the line? No. But it was still plenty playable. These days my pc is in my bedroom and I just hook it up and play in the empty space in front of my bed. You absolutely CAN sink thousands of dollars and a dedicated space into it if you really want to. But it’s hardly a requirement.

Technically they already do with how much the dealerships fight the 10 year warranty at every turn!

The quick way I was taught to eyeball it is to shift the decimal over one place to the left in the total, and double it. That’s 20%. In this case $30.53 > $3.053 > $6.106 ~ $6.10

You are harboring a fugitive of the state. Do not escalate this situation to a level it does not have to go

I’ve been gaming primarily on Xbox since the 360. After Microsoft bought and closed Tango though? I literally vowed to never buy another Xbox product again. I can’t even remember the last time I booted my Series X

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.
