I realized that the goon discord was for folk more antisocial than the main site. It would be nice to have an actual goon group for people that want to actually play together. Try playing the Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT) mod maps in Pavlov; it's your standard murder/werewolf game, trying to figure out who the Traitor(s) are. Only everyone has guns and a deep suspicion of everyone else who isn't the Detective.

Lemming posted:The worry I had was that using your arms for actions and movement might kind of overload you and give you too much to do with your arms, so you wouldn't be able to do both at once, but I was pretty happy with this, it felt really good That mechanics looks like it would be a good additional to games with rope swinging, something resembling but legally distinct from such things as spiderman or windlands.

Lemming posted:Yeah but so what? I dunno about you but I can't do 99% of the things you do in video games. What matters more to me is how it feels and how it plays, and I think this kind of movement just works better in VR than the alternatives, for a lot of cases that devs don't seem to have explored that much This looks like a lot of fun for what the gifs you've posted are showing, playing tag and flinging yourself around and throwing the balls at the targets; it looks great there. I'm wondering what's the best option for things on the more realistic side where you want players to walk around on legs and use arms for other actions. For something like Pavlov, using your arms is a no go. I'd love a Stealth game using the controls you just showed; where you're some sort of weird rear end creature and you can climb up walls and through vents using your arms only. Hell make it a 4v1 asymmetric title and have the other players using standard movement since they'd just be marines or something hunting the creature down. Would be fun to see a mix of movement options like that.

What are some good VR racing games that aren't hardcore sims? I don't mind a bit of realism but not interested in spending 24 real hours driving around a track either. I got into gran turismo 2 back in the day so something around that level would be okay.

Armswinger's viability depends totally on what the game is trying to do. I played a bit of sprint vector a while back and thought it was awesome and fit perfectly with the game. In LA Noire it's utterly game ruining and I loathed that I couldn't just use the analog sticks to the point that I will probably never bother to play it again and regret ever buying it.

I played Pavlov (or Onward, can’t remember) online and I happened to run into one of the funniest moments I’ve ever had in VR. One guy on my team was LARPing (VRping?) being a squad leader and was very motivational and serious about the whole thing. He had orders for everyone, and ignored the snickers of everyone else who thought he was being ridiculous. We were on the subway map and needed to turn a corner and the other team was on the other side of the subway tracks. Before we went through the archway to get in there he gave us a short speech about how we were becoming men. Then one by one as we picked them off or were picked off ourselves he kept giving coaching and when we’d die he’d be like “just hold on soldier, you’re going to make it. We’ll get you back home to your mother soon” and poo poo. I got shot almost as soon as I turned the corner and was incapacitated and waiting for a medic and the dude was super sympathetic and yelling “just hold on until I can get over there. Don’t close your eyes, don’t go to sleep, don’t go into the light, I’ll be right there.” It was the funniest thing and the dude never broke character.

For those of you with NMS performance issues in VR, I may have stumbled on a fix. Mine ran pretty poorly after this update, with lots of stuttering and reprojection. I assumed it was SteamVR cranking the SS up to 150% again, but when I dug in it wasn’t that. Turns out that by default NMS VR is hugely single-core, so once it maxes out that core, it’s done, performance-wise. Thankfully you can change that in a config file In the NMS folder in your Steam games directory, find /binaries/settings/TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.VR.MXML in that file will be two values, “NumHighThreads” and “NumLowThreads” The key seems to be to set it to use all threads minus one for the OS/SteamVR/Whatever. So if you, like me, have a 12 logical core processor, you’d want to reserve one for SteamVR, giving you 11 cores left. You then set NumLowThreads to 1, leaving you 10 cores, so you then set NumHighThreads to 10 A 16 core would get low cores of 1 and high cores of 14 and so on. This took the game from a hitchy stuttery mess to 90fps nearly all the time for me. Well worth it if you want to explore some planets

What kind of racing? Dirt Rally 2 is probably the best VR racing game IMO. But you have to be into the idea of Rally driving Project Cars 2 is probably your best bet for a Gran Turismo like Assetto Corsa is also pretty good as a Gran Turismo like, it takes some more setup but has tons of mods if you wanna do that Redout and BallisticNG are VR Wipeout clones Touring Karts is a VR Mario Kart clone V-Racer Hoverbike is a pretty cool Jet Moto style game where you have to actually lean in 3D space in order to turn your hoverbike The first 3 are more "real cars, real physics" where the last 4 are more "arcade fun stuff"

He warns always at the start of the video that it isn't 100% faithful to the real experience. And even then, in some games you can notice how the position of the camera is surely a bit up or down than before, because in some games there is a slight distortion/glare effect on the superior side, while in others is on the bottom.

Yeah, really the only thing through the lens video is good for is seeing screen door effect, and even then its only useful if one of the things being compared you have direct personal experience with. If you'd never tried VR and watched any of the through the lens videos you'd come away with a really warped idea of VR displays.

Trip report for foam replacement on Rift S: I have a Rift S and I recently bought a set of replacements for the foam on the face gasket and headbands, from AMVR. It's Polyurethane "leather" so it is waterproof and wipes clean easily; the stock foam got really grody from playing Beat Saber repeatedly; especially the forehead foam was nasty because it's harder to remove often to rinse it out. They come with plastic replacements for the plastic the original foam is mounted on, so it's fully reversible. The plastic mounting things (and face gasket) have a velcro surface that the cushion thingys fasten to, so it's easy to take them off for adjustment. The facial interface is noticeably thinner than the stock foam, which means I have to spend more time adjusting to get in a sweet spot (I'm closer to the lenses), but I also get slightly more FOV (because I'm closer to the lenses). Worth it to not hate myself for squeezing old sweat onto my face and forehead when I put the HMD on.

I've been planning on buying that kit, but the thin looking face foam replacement has kept me on the fence. Something has to be done about those sweat sponges though. it makes me not want to share my Rift S, which sucks because I love sharing VR. I did buy a silicone cover for the face foam but I think the forehead is the biggest concern as it absorbs the most and it hard to remove. It's a well designed HMD but I still have no idea what they were thinking from a hygiene perspective. They should have at least made it more modular and released some sanitary first party options. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Sep 29, 2020 |

I’ve been using VR Cover’s v1 facial interface for the Quest and I never went back. The v2 looks even better and will def get the Quest 2 version when it’s out. They also sell machine washable cotton covers that are pretty good for guests.

The new Walking Dead VR game dropped today. 20 minutes in and I requested a refund. It's like they took all the good stuff from S&S and nerfed it. You can't duck/kneel, you can't open anything in the env. that isnt highlighed as interactive, Index controllers arent really used. I guess they thought the first attempt was too hard for newbies so it's like babbies first VR game. If it's your first VR game it's probably pretty good, though! It's also interesting how they stole some design from HL:A; only one hand can hold a gun, and only the dominant hand can rotate between weapons. GD it Gaben look what you started!

I don't know how you guys set yours up but I can't find any place to put it on my desk that doesn't murder my wrist when I have to tilt back on the jotstick.

They did include arm swinging as a locomotion option, which is the only good thing I noticed about the game. There was also this red fog that encroaches on you so youre forced to rush through the environment, possibly so you don't notice how nothing is interactive and it's basically a glorified on-rails shooter. Edit-I thought the use of shadows was cool. I didn't realize who I was until I saw my cowboy hat shadow. This game for some reason has the real actors' models in them, and possibly some voices? I don't watch the show so I dunno.
