Neddy Seagoon posted:AMD had real bad CPU's for a long time, but they've turned things right around with the Ryzen CPU's (I think the Threadrippers are good too? I haven't heard much on them). You're functionally getting near/same as Intel performance for a fraction of the price. Yes Ryzens and Threadrippers are great. Threadrippers now in the 3rd gen are great for games just a bit overkill. The first gen, and maybe the second had some issues that made them not great for some games,

Memory seems to have been sorted. Even my crappy old 3200mhz memory that couldn't reach 2999Mhz with a R3 1300 can overclock to 3600Mhz with the R5 3600 I bought recently.

But if I can't ship it back in time, I'll think about it. On the other hand, if I get an offer from a company soon with a good bonus, I might keep it. Looking at the Alyx gameplay I do wonder if the finger articulation is going to be worth it.

Finger articulation in VR basically doesn't matter beyond "Neat!" and flipping people off, as any VR game that wants to make money needs to be equally playable with Oculus and Vive controllers.

I mean, yes. Obviously. It won't be a huge delta, because they've already said they want it to be playable with a number of different control schemes. But it might feel better in some subtle way I don't know yet. Not $600 better but if I get a signing bonus, hey, why not.

Boneworks is realistically the best usage of it you could see, because they went all-out on just about any physics concept they could think of.

I would stick with it as it gets better but then again Alyx is coming out tomorrow so...

So I spent some time playing with the Index controllers last night. I dig them! Having a thumbstick finally is a godsend. Somethings are going to take getting used to but so far so good. I just have to learn not to constantly close my hands when i'm not using them - too many times playing blade and sorcery last night a group of enemies would faceplant into the ground in unison, only for me to realize I clenched my left hand, force-grabbing the group of them, and moving it slightly caused them all to ragdoll. Also I'm using thumbstick movement in H3VR, and I've found the far-right option, I forget the name (Z-head movement?), that changes the orientation of your control stick based on your head's direction, to be the best. Having it anchored didn't feel right, holding the barrel of a gun and pushing "forward" (to my right) to go straight didn't feel right at all. Anyways I'm gonna dick around and start going back through some games to see if the new controllers adds something. Does anyone own Electronauts? I do, and my game crashes at launch. Could this be because it's a unity title? I don't have any other VR games that crash at launch. I'm running on a fresh install of Win10 and I've reinstalled the game a couple of times to different directories/drives with nothing working. The hour of that game I DID play was incredibly fun, I just want to jump into it after something more intense. Also, Audica is VERY good from what I've played so far. Does anyone own the DLC? Any impressions? I'm just over here wondering why we don't have a Frequency/Amplitude VR port

How do you record VR games on the pc? There is a gameplay window on my pc but its like under 2/3rd the size of the screen, like a cellphone video.

Accidentally sacrificed my monitor to create this, so I might as well share it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLjdUoKD0Cw Some experimenting with the spectator camera (the monitor displays from an external view instead of the headset) in Blade and Sorcery. Nothing too interesting (I even go out of frame for a couple of minutes), but whatever.

Time to get SteamVR and the Quest to play nicely. I've had constant issues with is. Sometimes the steamVR lags like crazy, most of the time anything I play will freeze a couple of minutes in.

Jeez Alyx looks and plays really good. Been going slowly to find some of the environmental achievements like feeding your pet. Sucks that my work just called me in right when I started. I will probably do a little shrooms and continue playing when I get back home.
