Shemp the Stooge posted:Anyone here try the Valheim VR mod? If so, how is it? I liked it a lot. Most of the core stuff works really well and you're right in that world. They've laid on a pretty insane degree of customisation and control. It's a bit of a shame there's no controller-relative option, and some stuff like the spear throwing never felt great to me (even though they offer like 3 different throwing techniques and loads of further options). But it feels kind of churlish to even mention that to be honest. It's great, go for it.

Demeo last upadate: First, you start with a new item given to every hero, Vortex Dust. It’s a 1 dmg in a 3x3 area, with a pull effect like the vortex lamps, useful to deal a bit of damage or do a bit of pull on enemies to put them in the ideal position. There are npcs that talk to you. Some give gold, other health potions, other are sellswords you can hire (200g for a dude with a crossbow moved by the AI with their own skills like poison arrow or panic arrow). The new barbarian is fun. Perhaps the most surprising ability is the Vargas whatever, what lets you accumulate extra damage in a permanent counter (by first shouting to an area of enemies, the more th emerries), and said damage is only spent later in the right amounts. If a enemy has 3 hp, the extra damage counter isn’t used, if a enemy has 10 hp, 7 extra damage is used up, etc. Enemies: Elf lancer: low level enemy, throws a lance that pushes you, and have a vortex dust item too. Elf Archer : I think it’s different of the usual archer? He has a ‘heavy arrow’ attack. Elf Summoner: ‘mini boss’ level enemy. 48 hp! Teleporting, and a shield ability. He is hard to kill because he will skirt around the periphery. He appears on the first floor and second floor. His main skill is how he summons several rifts with a single spell, you have one turn to destroy the rifts, before they start summoning new enemies. The rifts can merge if they are close, changing from minor to normal to major rifts, with more hp each, and able to summon bigger enemies.The vortex dust item closes them instantly, bypassing their hp. Something funny is how they are really rifts: they can summon enemies unique to other scenarios, like the desert scorpions. I reached the final boss of the last scenario and man, he is hard. I got him to 50hp, and I can do it slightly better next time now that I know how he works, but still, I don’t picture myself winning anytime soon. This final fight has some neat gimmicks, with stone walls rising from time to time enclosing you or the enemies, and giant spectral hands smashing things in an area or in a line (at least they indicate what they will do the previous turns). It isn't a fight where you are swamped with enemies, but on the second half the final boss start placing the elite enemies around in the board. I noticed the hands are vulnerable to Hunter's Mark and Poison so they are killable, the bad thing is that they respawn later. Not sure how it works.

Shemp the Stooge posted:Anyone here try the Valheim VR mod? If so, how is it? It's the best VR mod. I've played through to Yagluth both solo and with my wife and love it. Only downside is not being able to use mods that rely on you pressing a hotkey and some interface mods don't work with it. I've been able to work around that nicely by using alternative mods that do practically the same things without using hotkeys. The Mistlands update did break VHVR though. He has a temporary dev build up in the flatscreen2vr discord to use until he gets a regular update out.

Hey yall, is the OP current? I know absolutely nothing about VR but I'm looking for the best VR headset (either out now, or coming out this year) that would pair best with a 4090. I'm open to this "room scale" stuff where you turn a room into a VR room or whatever but is it worth it? We have an empty room, theoretically, but it's an open question whether it's actually worth that kind of dedication...

Shemp the Stooge posted:Anyone here try the Valheim VR mod? If so, how is it? Insanely good, though it's still a mod and thus is tied to an interface that isn't ideal for VR. Valheim's everything-except-UI feels way better in VR than flatscreen though. It revitalized the game for me to the point where I don't bother playing flatscreen Valheim anymore. Honestly it's the game I most look forward to when I consider putting the headset on again. More than Beat Saber or any of the other big made-for-VR games.

I bounced off of the CV2 hard because being tied to my computer in my small office just wasn't that fun; I could never really get fully immersed when I was constantly worrying about punching a monitor or sticking my hand into a ceiling fan. Untethered roomscale just really removes most of the friction and lets VR shine imo.

Depends on the headset; I've got an upgraded battery strap for the Quest 2 and it extends battery life well enough that my body's ready for a break before the headset is. It does add a little extra weight but it's well-balanced enough that on top of the strap improvements, actually feels better to me than just the headset & base strap.

The original one is my account, but the new one will be in use mostly for the kids to use vs PCVR use of the other. I want my kid to have his account on it for friends sharing and meetups , but obviously share the games already bought. I have already made his account a sharing one with access. Do I need to log in at all on the other ? He has had issues just switching accounts and still things connected to me when playing and friend finding

Is supernatural really that good of a workout game? I like beatsaber, and synth riders but they don't really work up a huge sweat. I don't want to buy poo poo on the meta store for obvious reasons but it seems like people really like supernatural....

I haven't tried the boxing mode but Flow is fun and a 20 minute session gets me sweating and breathing hard. The song selection is pretty good too.

Are you just standing still? Not trying to be a dick here but like, I cannot imagine playing either of those games for 30 min and not being at all sweaty. Even on lower difficulties, since ya know, if its your limit itll still push you.

The only things supernatural does different from beat saber, in my experience from like 6 months ago when I did the trial : - Encourage you to swing harder to work up a sweat. You can do this in beat saber if you want instead of just flicking your wrists. Just make sure you have space to swing hard and no little ones to walk in front of you. - Turning around during play. I’m not sure it adds anything much to the fitness aspect. Kind of made it harder because it’s easy to get off center and hit an obstacle accidentally. - Trainer motivation. I found it actually helps you push a little harder. - Cost a lot of money. I guess you could spend similar amounts buying all the song packs on beat saber. Personally I liked synth riders the best for exercise once I got some custom songs I like and trained myself to actually move my legs too and basically dance for real or hop around. Finding the right custom songs with lots of arm movement and squat opportunities helps. Pistol Whip is good too if you really try to duck and move instead of just leaning your head.

VegasGoat posted:The only things supernatural does different from beat saber, in my experience from like 6 months ago when I did the trial : The other big thing with Supernatural is having new playlists every day. I get bored doing the same tracks repeatedly in other apps (and half the time, the thought of "ugh, I have to go try and download new music" is just enough for my lazy rear end to weasel out of doing a work out). Obviously how much this matters is different for everyone and whether it is worth the money. I find the hard level tracks in Supernatural beat everything other than Thrill of the Fight (which is still the champion at totally kicking my rear end) for exercise for me.

Also yeah if you're not sweating playing Beat Saber or any other rhythm game you need to be hopping, bopping, embellishing, giving every swing a wide arc, you should be introducing squats during songs and during song breaks. Essentially dancing

And a very important thing about starting any fitness endeavour is to remove as many barriers as possible, supernatural has a free trial so give it a shot. the novelty of new songs might be the only hook that grabs you but you have to bite at least once

I wish there was a boxing-like Beat Saber that was as good as Supernaturals boxing mode. Les Mills Bodycombat maps are boring, and while it is not as good as Thrill of the Fight for pure sweating that doesn't have the music component. I prefer the boxing to the flow sets but definitely do both.

New Lynx update https://www.lynx-r.com/blogs/news/youtube-live-lynx-uptdate-december-05th-2022 Lots of Q&A white noise ("does it use pancake lenses?") but also some useful stuff. First units have rolled out of the factory, sounds like it's not quite full steam ahead production-wise yet, but it's happening. First units aren't quite cosmetically representative of the final versions, not sure what that means exactly but they're going to be shippable if someone's OK with receiving it (they don't want them showing up on video reviews though because the first units aren't what the final version will look like, again not sure exactly what that means but likely something simple like the color is off a little or something.)
