I tried to install MSFS to my E:/ drive but it told me I didn't have permission, even though I'm admin. Prolly because I've reinstalled windows a ton since having the drive... 🤔 also SW: Squadrons with a HOTAS is revelatory. I am using a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 and a Thrustmaster TWCS throttle and I'm in heaven.

Lister posted:I got Pokerstars two days ago and already have 120k. It really is the smoothest social vr I've played so far, even if every avatar looks like a puppet from Lazy Town It looks so much crappier on quest and I really don't think it needs to be (at least for Q2). I usually play using the Rift version with Virtual Desktop. Looks much much better.

Are there any tools to test the throughput of your ports? I posted in the Flight Sim thread about how my USB-C TB3 with DP port doesn't seem to have enough throughput for Flight Sim and I want to just make sure.

It's a testament to how authentic feeling Pokerstars VR is because I closed the game the first time it was my turn and I didn't know what to do. Also I just played some more Ragnarock tonight, it's so much better now that I know you can change the angle of your hammers. If you want an arms flailing around in the air playing air drums rhythm game I highly recommend not skipping this game.

This https://bsaber.com/curatorspicks2020/ also says "In an attempt to keep the home page interesting while beatsaver is down..." id recommend downloading your songs to your computer and putting them into bmbf via its network interface. idk if the quest 2 has problems like the quest 1, but if you try to download more than a few hundred bookmarked songs then the app will probably run out of memory before it finishes and the process can only complete if it gets through the number of songs you specify (which is 10-200, or infinity after 200) also as far as multiplayer ive rly been liking contractors vr. i think after calibrating and getting used to my rifle stock i definitely have better performance at long-distance rifle shots idk about your link specifically but the domain in general is working for me: https://bsaber.com/songs/top/ this is a favorite of mine: https://bsaber.com/songs/71eb/ sea of losers fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Dec 25, 2020 |

Is there a house flipper/home design game that isn't House Flipper VR? The VR port of House Flipper looks kinda lovely but this type of game feels like a slam dunk for VR.

Especially now with blackjack tables in Pokerstars. If you’ve never had the pleasure of playing blackjack in an actual casino, it’s probably the biggest “hey fucker, you made the wrong move and screwed up my cards” game out there, since the choices you make affect the cards that the next person will get. If you don’t do what the person next to you is expecting you to do in irl blackjack, they tend to get mad, since you are all playing against the dealer and not against each other, so the incentive to actively screw the other players isn’t there

There's a Quest Xmas sale. Mostly 20% off and like https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/section/395552521798516/ Jim Silly-Balls posted:Especially now with blackjack tables in Pokerstars. If you’ve never had the pleasure of playing blackjack in an actual casino, it’s probably the biggest “hey fucker, you made the wrong move and screwed up my cards” game out there, since the choices you make affect the cards that the next person will get. 99x out of 100 they are pissed for no reason too. The card they "need" is just as likely to be 1 card back and you're helping them. No one comments when you take a card they don't need and set them up to win, only when its the other way. The only time this is not true is if people are counting deep, but at your average 6 shoe deck and $5-$10 bet no one is actually doing that. If they say they are they are lying. explosivo posted:Lmao yeah I decided to try blackjack after social anxiety-ing my way out of the poker table mid game and that was a bad idea.

Anyone yelling at you is just trying to make themselves feel better.

Also, don't a lot of real casinos use multiple decks at once for Blackjack? That's at least the case at the ones I've been to. Minimises the impact any one person could theoretically have, even though nobody actually even has any real impact.

Minimises the impact any one person could theoretically have, even though nobody actually even has any real impact. For standard they use 6 deck shoes (6 decks mixed together). I've seen some places do 4 but I've seen up to 8. Sometimes they'll do special 1 deck tables, but they shuffle between hands and have lower BJ payouts. Almost any table with special rules like that is a ripoff. With a 6 deck shoe it's still possible to get a real positive or negative shoe, where there are either higher or lower odds of getting 10s. But it's hard to count that deep and anyone who is isn't going to get pissed about a player hitting on a 14 or when the dealer is showing a 7 or w/e. You really aren't screwing anyone else up in Blackjack. Like I said, it's always because someone gets pissed and looking to blame someone. No one is givng you their chips when you take a card and the next one makes the dealer go bust.

The truth is you can play any way you want, it’s the other people who get mad about it for no reason. Anyway, I’ve not experienced anyone being crappy in Pokerstars blackjack because it’s all fake money and theoretically the cards are totally random and unlimited

Well, I’m the proud owner of a quest 2 now! Quick question because on my Rift CV1 I tried to buy from steam as much as I could, and I think the quest may mark my first actual oculus store purchase. When a game in the oculus store says it supports, “Rift, Rift S, Quest”, does that mean there is a native Quest (and quest 2) app along with a PC version for the rifts? I love Ultrawings on the Rift and I’d love to have it native on the Quest 2, so is that what “Rift, Rift S, Quest” means?

I thought they actually use 6 deck shoes with shuffling in Pokerstars. I only played it for a minute though. I wasn't really getting a lot of social chit chatting and there's better ways to get money. Also, for Pokerstars, play on the higher limit tables as soon as you can. The people are way more chill, they play reasonably better, and there's less people so you can actually get to know individuals if you play around the same times. The tournaments are good too, though its usually pretty aggressive ramp ups so you'll sometimes just get screwed, it happens. For tips for new people playing: 1. Don't worry about playing wrong in poker. If you do something dumb you either lose (and everyone else is happy) or you win and it wasn't dumb. Don't let anyone tell you that you won "the wrong way". You'll learn in time what is smart or dumb but sometimes you catch a lucky card and sometimes your opponent does. People will rage sometimes over the dumbest stuff. 2. If you want to win on the low/medium tables read up on "tight/aggressive" play. Know that people will call anything so don't try to bluff much to start. People are always chasing straights and flushes so keep your eyes peeled for those. 3. Don't go all in based on your first 2 cards. I know movies and shows are all about the dramatic "All In" moment, but thats not really poker. Even mediocre players are going to clean up against people who go all in all the time. Play slow and cautiously at first. 4. You probably should be folding your hole cards a lot, and if you don't have anything from the flop don't call bets "just to see". You'll bleed chips and develop bad habits that way. 5. Use the "mute avatar" remote thing on anyone who seems like a jerk or is being annoying. Pokers fun and it doesn't need to be very anxiety inducing, especially on fake money tables. It's a good social outlet when so many of us are stuck inside.

Some games exist on the rift and quest but are NOT crossplay, so you need to buy both if you want to play natively or using link. Virtual Desktop is on sale today (that is an example of there being a rift and a quest version and they are NOT crossplay). Get it, your steam library is going to feel so much better wireless with better res.

Thanks! That all is helpful info. Weirdly the thing I struggle with the most is betting. I usually just call because I don't have to make a decision and it's easier that way but I never know how much I should be betting/raising in different scenarios. I know this is all in my head but still is what makes me seize up the most.

I want to bet a little: Half of the current pot I want to bet a medium: Match the pot I want to push people out with a big bet: 2x the pot Those don't have to be exact, but if you look at the chips in the middle it'll tell you whats in the pot. If a bet is going to push most of your chips in you can round up to "all-in" but don't start a bet thinking "I want to go all in". Look at the pot, look at your chips, look at what your opponent has and go from there. You can bet less than half the pot but that's usually not a strong signal.

Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand grenades is the game you want if you want to play with guns. The xmas mode going on right now is pretty fun. Its a much better experience than FO4, which is a mess. Skyrim is ok, but kind of a boring use of VR.

Also, keep in mind that some cross play titles have been on the Rift store for a lot longer than the Quest store and sometimes the devs forget about the cross play and discount the Rift version more heavily.

If you have a beefy PC fallout will work fine. If you’ve played it before you’ll know that at some point even on a monitor it starts to chug when you reach a late game area and here it’s no different. There are optimization mods but they don’t do much. People complain about the interface in both but really after a few minutes I get used to it. I personally like skyrim better but both are fine. Just don’t pay full price for either.

hello internet posted:If you hit with 15 while the dealer shows a 6, you likely caused the rest of the table to lose. Playing with idiots that make plays based on how they "feel" is incredibly frustrating when playing with real money This is not mathematically correct. Taking a card doesn't make it more or less likely the next card is lower. You don't know if the next two cards are a 10 and a 4 or a 4 and a 10 or anything else. If the table is really positive then you might be worsening the odds slightly by hitting (but you're helping the table if it's negative), but you need to be counting real deep on a 6 deck shoe and if you are you're not dumb enough to say "you likely caused the table to lose".

The good thing about this whole blackjack argument is, to the OP who was nervous to bet and play, the poo poo that is being talked about happens in real casinos for real money. You don’t see that stuff in PokerstarsVR because of the whole fake funbux thing, people dont care how you play because their paycheck isn’t on the line. Hit on a 20 to see what happens. People won’t get mad
