I don't have my Oculus connected to Facebook so maybe they don't like that.

I got one of those TP-Link Archer routers that people were raving about earlier in the thread so now I can finally stream games through Virtual Desktop without obscene amounts of lag or (as much) epilepsy-inducing flickering while not being in the same room as my main router, but for some reason it refuses to work in AP mode, like it would just keep connecting and then disconnecting 30 seconds later and hopping to a different IP on my network, even for wired devices. In just plain-rear end wireless mode it seems to work fine but anything I connect to it is on a different set of IP addresses, which I guess is fine since it still does what I need it to do, but anyone else run into this? I can't even seem to find anything online about this issue in particular, although there are others with connection issues.

Lemming posted:I guess what got me about it is calling it "frustrating"; like, they're selling the game at the price point they think reflects the value of the game. I think it's odd to be frustrated that the devs think the game is more valuable than you do. I feel like the process of selling a game at a high price for a short period of time and then slashing the price reflects a game that is fundamentally lovely, and relying on the cycle of releasing a new piece of garbage every so often is a pretty crappy status quo, so I really prefer the idea of only making the games that are worth playing and then not dropping their price immediately, since the value of the game is there and makes it worth getting. The creator can certainly set the price on what they consider the value of the product, but the customers also have their assessment of the value and if those numbers don't meet, then the creator won't get any money. Only a subset of the potential customers are willing to pay full price. Another subset will buy at half price, or grudgingly at full price if they really want it and there has been a good sale for years. And then there is the subset that I most fall in, that buys a game once it's at -90% and spends more time trawling Steam sales than playing games. Reminds me of a recent discussion in Automotive Insanity where someones answer to "what car they would buy if they had a million", was a "$10k car once a week", because buying cars is more fun than owning them. I think the last game I willingly bought at full price at release was GTA San Andreas for PS2. I spend a whole lot of time playing Civilization, so I bought Civ6 when the platinum bundle with a whole bunch of DLCs had a -50% sale, about 4 and half years after Civ6 was released. After 276 hours played I feel that was acceptable value. But for most games if the creator doesn't drop it to -90% they won't get a cent from me and that is a decision the creator is entitled to make. Of course, as everyone, I have only played a notable amount ~5% of the games in my library, so most of those cents are more like small donations to the creator. It was a funny reminder about this when Steam had the Games Award sale on december. I owned a bunch of the game they had on the catalog, but only ones from 2016 or older. Guess if a game receives big awards the creators aren't willing to drop the price that quickly. When I got my Quest 2 on january this actually changed a bit since I basically had to start building my VR library from scratch and ended paying prices I would never pay for flat games outside of Civ and DCS. 20€ for a game did hurt a bit. Often I wish Steam worked with a time fee. It would probably be more convenient for me to pay 10-50 cents per hour played and have access to the full catalog.

-90% means nothing, though. If you're only evaluating it based on the percentage off, you're liable to get scammed by somebody increasing the base prise a lot and then slapping a -90% on it. During the Steam Xmas sale right after GTAV came out, Rockstar increased the base price to 80 bucks and sold it at 25% off, right at its initial asking price. You're certainly free to do whatever you want with your money, but the laser focus on the little green number on Steam seems foolish to me.

Bad Munki posted:Curious how much it moves. Like, if I floor it in my space ship, I’d expect it to rotate me toward laying on my back, just so I can feel the push, but without motion compensation I’m going to be looking toward my toes to see forward, which is unfortunate. Unless the actual movement is subtle enough to not really notice the change in angle, which I imagine it might be, since it probably takes fairly little to have a huge impact on your senses. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uueugoft-h8 This one is very similar to what my friend has, barely moves at all

I notified VALVe about the dead pixel in the replacement Index headset they sent, and they did a reverse RMA this time and sent me a replacement first. So far, this replacement seems fine! Here's hoping. Gotta say, pleasantly surprised with VALVe's quick response here.

I have barely used my Quest 2 since the elite strap last broke and I replaced it with a halo strap recommended here. The problem is that my IPD is 72. With the elite strap, it was still actually fine, just with a very very small sweet spot - move the headset relative to my eyes at all, and it becomes unbearably swimmy/blurry. With the halo strap, the headset moves relative to my eyes too much no matter how I wear or tighten it, so it's just not usable. Is there another elite-style compression strap anyone here uses other than the elite strap, preferably one close to the elite but more durable?

He's probably some kind of lizardman, so I'd suggest a Goanna or monitor lizard, rather than the traditional goat or sheep offering. You may want sturdy gloves.

The percentage isn't really a deciding factor, it's more about the 5€ price that I find nice enough. In practice that means an indie game or -90%. If some indie developer raises their price to AAA level and starts selling it at -90% maybe I should reward them for their audacity.

I Expect You to Die 2 does $1M in revenue "The VR-exclusive puzzle title, which followed up the 2016 original, made over $1 million in revenue in less than a week after its launch on August 24. " For future reference, this means around 200 reviews in Steam + 220 in Quest gets you $1M (it depends of how less is 'less than a week'). Always supposing that unless there is a review bombing or something like that, your average game has similar ratios between user reviews and sales. $1M revenue means selling 43,500 copies, averaging the prices between pc and quest ($23).

Conventional wisdom is that the usual reviews-to-sales ratio for recent Steam releases is somewhere between 1:30 and 1:50. That would suggest 10k copies on Steam and 30k on Quest, and a Quest reviews-to-sales ratio around 1:150, all of which sound like fairly plausible numbers.

Well, beat every level on Pistol Whip, single pistol on Hard + Bullet Hell. Quite a few of the 2089 and Smoke & Thunder levels didn't have anyone completing it yet when I did it. Also now have #1 on all the levels of 2089 and Smoke and Thunder but I don't expect that to last long. Cant keep a beat to save my life. Recorded some videos to show my buds and they nope'd out of even trying it after seeing them. Some of the 2089 + S&T levels felt near impossible without the specific campaign gun for the levels. New goal is to do it again without getting hit.  I love the Bullet Hell modifier.

I really wish google glass hadn't cratered. I would have happily bought one with a physical camera shutter or even no camera at all. I just wanted a cyberpunk HUD. Imagine where AR technology would be now with years of development and hardware improvements.

Regarding Pistol Whip, before the update I remember an option to change the timing somewhat--by way of trigger sensitivity and some sort of millisecond option. Now it's gona and I feel like the timing is off for me. Is there some way to adjust it that I'm missing?

Google glass was never AR, it was literally just a tiny screen you could look at in the corner of your vision. It was basically a smartwatch but instead of looking at your wrist you looked up and to the side.

Yeah, that's what I heard. I just think if it hadn't been abandoned the tech might have become a lot better. Maybe not AR as in a tracked extra layer on real life but context sensitive information popping up based on your location or what you are looking at. A combination of QR style codes and wireless location tagging.

Its just a rubber cup that loops into the default strap and provides more support and weight distribution. Way simpler than all the other add ons but it's just right for me.

Yes, there were a load of bars and public places in general that banned them for that exact reason since there was no external indication that they were filming. I think the original Snapchat glasses got around that by having massive light up rings at the sides and also by not having anyone actually buy them.
