That HTC weather widget. Oof.

“Come see the totem I wear of my dead god. He’s not really god he’s just the son of god. That we killed. We nailed his body to this stick. Now the stick is our symbol. Wear it around your neck to remember the murder weapon of our god”

I know the Meta Quest 3 and 3s have this feature built in. For PCVR with other headsets, often games have this feature built in. Usually it’s called “comfort mode” or something similar. It’s a standard in VR UX.

It just works. It works better than Windows 11 in my experience. I can’t break it. I forget it’s there. I just do computer stuff. Like video editing, gaming, web browsing.

First person shooters are crazy. I love Onward and Pavlov for that. Actually aiming, crouching down, and physically reloading are things I can never go back from

And as we all know, Microsoft will definitely stand up to the us government and refuse to hand over customer data to their final regime.

I’ve been thinking of getting one! I have a force feedback airbus flight stick and it vibrates on take off or when I deploy flaps for approach and landing. Very very cool

Sadly I don’t :( it sounds cool though

Fast motion where it’s in my peripheral vision as well as primary field of view gives me nausea even with pretty strong VR legs.

Sometimes games (and headsets) will have a comfort mode which adds a vignette around the peripheral vision when there’s high movement. That usually helps lower motion sickness.

Oh yes! Elite Dangerous, XPlane 12 (and 11), VTOLVR, Aerofly FS4 are all the flying games I play in VR. It’s incredible.

It doesn’t actually matter. The US can compel American companies to provide all data even if the data residency is outside of America.

I don’t think the government uses any of the big cloud services though. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Oof you’re very wrong here. The government of Canada spends hundreds of millions of dollars per year on M365 cloud services.

Oof I played that in 2D and it was bonkers. There’s no way I’m trying it in vr haha

I’ll have to check it out! I’ve seen it around but haven’t heard much about it :)

Haha I got my Oculus Rift CV1 in 2016. It absolutely blew my mind in Elite Dangerous, when all the building sized ships ACTUALLY were building sized.

VR has come a long way since then.

Ive got pretty decent vr legs and I experienced some nausea after about 30km of rally racing (around a half hour). Went away after a few minutes. I’ve got a very strong pc so there was zero lag and it was buttery smooth but the nausea still happened 🥴

Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally 2, Assetto Corsa Rally as well

You’d still need to keep your eyes locked dead centre of the screen while you move for that. To each their own though. Natural movement and tracking is a game changer

Can an American explain to me why having random guns strewn around is a flex? What concept is being flexed? Do y’all fancy yourself local warlords?

Not a helpful comment.

It sucks that the world is so shit that makes people this cynical. I wish things were better.
