If you play Skyrim VR, at least use VRIK, the throwing mod and Realms of Whatever. Those are the main three and you can add more if you want. I can't imagine sitting through that loving cart in VR, or playing the game without seeing my body and being able to throw poo poo everywhere.

i tried bone labs and i accidentally spun myself around in a circle too fast and was unbelievably sick for half an hour. i would probably enjoy a bone labs style physics shooter that doesn't require you to move around and throw up

I'm sure I enabled that because steam has an awful tagging system, so even non porn games would get caught up in that. For example:

yeah but if you don't opt in you miss out on some great games that have the tag, like...uh, conan exiles I think?

why the gently caress does that first one cost as much as a new release console AAA title does it come with a gimmick controller or something

So meta could easily afford to sell vacation simulator for $5 less, and instead of refusing to buy for the inflated price consumers happily jump through hoops and provide free advertising so that they can get a small piece of what someone else pays for the product... in pretend money that can only be spent on other products from the same company. Then we delude ourselves that this is somehow reducing profits for the company.

Meta doesn't own Vacation Simulator, the devs set the price

Like yeah I get that the referral stuff is about trying to increase sales and get more people to buy stuff but it also definitely costs them money to do so on the whole, Steam certainly isn't giving those referrals

I can't resist repeating that the dirty secret of built-in diopter adjustments is that they do not actually eliminate the need for lens inserts for many people (despite the ad copy bragging otherwise).


Anyway, Razer (working with ResMed, whose whole business depends on facial interfaces and head straps) is coming out with aftermarket Quest head straps. Check it out:

Does anyone know how Sony is using eye tracking but still keeping fresnel lenses with the PSVR2? It seems to me that you would avoid looking around with your eyes due to everything outside the sweet spot in the middle being blurry.

Its your usual dating type thing in a hotel where all the girls exist to have sex with the male guests. I don't know how much of people's willingness to put up with Illusion barely ever changing anything in their games and the games themselves being boring (at least Custom Maid 3D has some fun management stuff) is down to them having VR support but it probably doesn't hurt.

Yeah the modpack I installed via Wabbajack has all this in place, I had a real oh poo poo moment spawning into the floating space realm that replaces the cart-start and having one of the NPCs walk past and me still figuring the controls on the handsets reaching out and grabbing their arm as they walked past, them stopping, looking directly at me 'How can I help you stranger?' I felt quite rude :eyepop:

The Alyx-like gravity pickup of stuff on tables is so much more fun than just 'Press (A) to Take' and being able to do the same to armor directly off the bodies of fallen foes was unexpected to say the least, them modders are some ingenious folks.

Agreed; First thing I added to the FO4FEVR modlist over what they pack in was the 'laser sights' mod, took a bit of metaphorical shaking and slapping of my install to work (first said 'You cannot install this weapon mod' and then it showed up working after stowing and re-equipping my gun but none of my bullets would hit a target until I reloaded my save) and that is definitely fun over balance - I'm sure the hardcore Fallout 4 STALKER style survival realism players would be aghast.

Does anyone besides bobovr offer a strap like that? Asking because the turnaround time from bobo is kinda nuts and we’re in the market, and bobo’s approach is what we’re after. Just don’t want to be waiting until, like, March.

So, 2022 was a very hard year on me and as a result I ordered the Pico 4. It arrives at the store tomorrow morning and the clerk said that it should go well with the free games. Said when I download the app, it should still get me the free games, but no promises. Oh well. I was thinking back and forth about it for so long that I might have missed the chance for the free games, but it is what it is.




Anyhow, I want to connect the Pico to the PC. Last I heard about it, it was recommended to get a Y-adapter to split the USB cable into audio and video. Is that still the case? Or has a better practice emerged?

Just use a single decent cable, I’ve never heard this Y-splitter thing. Also don’t worry about the free games, you just need to register the device which just means logging in with a Pico account. The phone thing is more about just making setup easier than a free game thing because then you’ll already have your details sorted and can just put in your email and password and get going immediately. And by get going I mean download a big system update as is new console tradition.

I was complaining the other day about the lack of racing games, so it's a nice surprise. The graphics, though :(



That's the result when you try to take a modern game and fit it into the Quest. I would prefer if they use the RE4 model, or taking a good game from 11-15 years ago and using it as a base.

Codemasters ported Grid Autosport to the Switch before they got absorbed into EA so I'm assuming this is just someone at the studio who really enjoys making this kind of port.

I'm guessing this is the FO4FEVR modlist?

https://github.com/ajantaju/F4FEVR

Just did a reinstall of FO4VR as well as SkyrimVR from the other day, I might as well get my use out of this one-month Nexus sub for fast, no-nag downloads :o:

As with SkyrimVR, lots of new stuff to get acquainted with, the virtual holsters especially are picky to get set up correctly, but I'll sort it eventually.

Yeah that’s the modlist. Highly recommend scrolling down to the Notes section and grabbing the alternative build with the 2k texture pack if you have a 3xxx series GPU (or even a 2xxx if you plan on going the OpenComposite/XR Toolkit route). Keep in mind that the latest OpenComposite build doesn’t work with FO4 so you’ll need to get the previous version and drop the DLL in the game folder.

I ended up disabling the virtual holsters. They’re a nice idea but the implementation just isn’t there yet imo. The holsters move around a lot which is pretty disastrous in a firefight - especially with how the mod tries to be realistic and force you to reholster your current weapon before grabbing a new one.

Edit: also I have a 7z backup of the flatscreen DLC that works in VR if anyone needs it and can point me to a good host for a dozen gigs or so. So dumb that Bethesda didn’t include it in their full price VR port.

Alyx has been the only game I ever played that I felt got throwing items feeling "right". Wonder how many others out there do well but I just haven't tried.

I never tried the Hitman VR mod but I always liked the concept it had of separating the aiming from the physical throw in what sounds like a natural way: Cue up a throw by holding an object and "cocking" your throwing arm, and point your non-throwing arm forward. Aim with the non-throwing hand, and launch the throw however you like (overhand, underhand, sidearm, whatever) with the other. Wonder how well it worked in practice.

Maybe I'm explaining myself wrong, but I mean something like this to get 3.5mm audio, because otherwise I wouldn't know how to properly connect good audio:


Standalone is fine for the first couple of days, but ultimately I want to do PC-VR again. My understanding is that wireless is preferrably for Pico 4 atm but I doubt that'll work in my house, so I'll figure out something.

Thank you. I downloaded the Pico app onto my phone and made an account. What I'm worried about is that the marketing campaign goes until 6/1, which is today. But I won't have the headset in my hand until 7/1 and the shop said it'll probably alright with redeeming the free stuff until 10/1, but that's a bit sketchy. I would like to try one or two games on the list, but I'm not going to pay full price for them.


e: nevermind, I must have misread -- when I read Pico articles and news items now, it says 10 january, not 6 january. I'm going to be a happy little boy tomorrow.
