Whenever the release date I hope they continue the trend of backwards compatibility and just adding horsepower and lens improvements

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Whenever the release date I hope they continue the trend of backwards compatibility and just adding horsepower and lens improvements That could well be an open question if Valve's thing ever materializes, considering they're supposedly building a standalone X86 HMD instead of Android. I'd expect Oculus' next immediate headset to probably Android-based considering it'd be a ways into development already (unless they've already pivoted away to something else of course), but beyond that it's less certain.

Years ago FB said they were going to make their own OS, but that may still be well in early days of development. https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2019/12/19/facebook-operating-system/amp/ Maybe for Quest 4?

I’ve gotten the impression the whatever the new headset is, that they’d start putting units out around Q2 next year with a potential ramp up for the holidays or even the following year depending on how the ongoing supply chain stuff pans out. That’s said I don’t think this is a Quest 3/Pro and seems to be a more AR focused SKU.

I guess there was a small glitch with the DLC on steam, you all probably downloaded the update but it looks like you can't unlock it yet, they say it'll be available at some point today. Avatars are up and running on the non-beta branch though!

I think I am definitely old now. I remember hooking my dad up with Super Black Bass for the SNES way back when and laughing at how entranced he was with it. The guy thought it was a modern miracle - fishing right in the den! Well now I'm fully happy sitting for twenty minutes with this headset on just looking around at the lobby environments. I can't stop thinking about beat saber while I'm at work. I have become my dad, completely blown away by what I assume is a very mundane technology to someone much younger than me.

Demeo is really good now with the new update, some first impressions: The new scenario has more drastic new gameplay elements, unlike Dungeon 2 darkness, like water puddles (protect against fire damage, but extra damage against freeze and it seems it can cause chain reaction for electrical damage, at least it happens with the stun spell), new enemies (there is a river serpent who can summon big water waves which pushes allies and enemies 3 or 4 tiles, changing the positioning of everyone, and creating new puddles in the process, also can teleport to other water puddles, there is a shaman who can use the water to summon new root doggies), and the bard is cool: -He is melee fighter/support, 3 dmg on attack -He has a reusable song (like mage stun or hunter arrows) called Bravery I which give -1 dmg recieved for 4 turns to an ally. Casting it again in someone seems to modify it to Bravery II which adds +1 dmg done. -He has some spells, like a silence aoe, a tornado summon (which can damage your allies, careful), a sustained aoe healing, and a damage/confusion aoe spell.

There's only like 11 places in the US and none of them near me, so I don't think that'll be an option. I'd have to imagine at that price tag and still needing to buy base stations and controllers that I better have absolutely no complaints though.

What're some good seated VR showcase things that complete non-gamer parents might enjoy? I saw theBlu recommended and that's about what I mean. Reverb, so no oculus exclusive I'm afraid. Google Earth for sure.

We've had a few meetings with em and they all seem like stand up people who stand by the product and clearly understand the target audience is someone looking for a premium rear end headset and can splash the money for it. If I could splash out 2k on a headset atm, I'd do it. I have index controllers and all that already so yeah it sucks but i dont need a kit anyways.

Since I have an Index already it's 'easy' for me to just move to the Aero and plop it in. If you're starting from nothing though it's a much larger issue to get I feel since you can't soften the blow by convincing yourself you already have everything else (like EbolaIvory menitons). The biggest issues with the Aero I've heard people have issues with is the lack of audio, both output and input. I personally don't care about the lack of microphone much but the audio kinda sucks if only because the Index has such good audio. Still didn't stop me though.

What further sucks is the greebly bits on the headstrap mean there's no good spot to mount the clip-on solutions like VR Ears or Mantis' Bionik earpods. The lack of microphone's at least an easy, but expensive, fix with a modmic.

So Kaker you do have one and an index, or am I misreading? Like to know your thoughts on both if so and you wouldn't mind.

As soon as I get it I'll certainly share my thoughts, I suspect it will be the same as what other people say. "Wow its so good and clear and my new daily driver sucks there is no audio wow its expensive"

The guy thought it was a modern miracle - fishing right in the den! Not really VR related, but your memory just triggered my memory of my dad helping us kids getting to the next level in Donkey Kong Country back in the 90's. Turns out he spent all nights practicing some nights so that he could help us out. :3 Thanks for triggering that memory for me.

Is this the place to talk about VRChat? I've been looking into unity to build out my own world to relax in, but most of the guides for it seem outdated. Is there a learning source I'm missing, or am I going to have to go about this the hard way?

It can be tough to avoid the squeakers, but otherwise it's a wild ride just hopping around and seeing what's out there. I discovered a nice twitch steamer through VRChat because she was hopping worlds doing guitar and singing performances, and there's a few people I now encounter occasionally because we just got chatting once. VRChat is like NoContextHumans in videogame form, and it ain't always good, but if you're willing to drive into the insanity then it's definitely an experience.

Stick to the PC-only worlds if you're looking for public worlds to roam and socialize in. The squeakers tend to be almost-universally Quest users, and it's made The Black Cat a special flavour of hell because it's the go-to social world.

I feel like the annoying minors problem is a tad overemphasized in vrchat discussions, and honestly the kids are kinda funny sometimes before you're forced to disappear them with the flick of a wrist.

Minors should really not be in VRChat, full-stop. Also you clearly have not gone to public instance of The Black Cat or anything popular, because it is a grey tide of underaged Visitor-rank Quest-users as far as the eye can see.

yeah, I stay way the gently caress away from the popular worlds. There are a lot of lesser-known worlds that only ever have small crowds. I can't imagine why someone would just click the default boring room full of screaming children.

I think my mistake was overestimating people's inclination to select anything other than the default list of worlds. Black cat is one of thousands, and yet it gets emphasized in every vrchat discussion, is my point. If you are physically incapable of choosing nondefault worlds then I will cede that the kids can be an unmanageable problem

I had the cable in hand less than 24 hrs from picking the phone up, I believe it's like they went from "globally atrocious service" to "world class service" while the rest of us were reading about Omicron

On the topic of VR chat, I absolutely love all the little games that are starting to pop up. There's a Doom clone (VRCDoom), mini-golf, a dozen amongus like games, and even a few battle royales. If y'all have any neat game worlds, I'd be interested in taking a look!

Go check out Ghost, Super Tower Defense, and of course Murder 4.
