I'm too old to adapt to anything other than 120-130bpm with audible 4/4 beat, so I definitely prefer custom songs (--edit: and maps, for visual diversity) at some point. None of that dubstep like poo poo.

Nah they kept saying that notes were mapped to nothing, but they don't understand that like, it was. The ranking team, while getting better, is a bunch of kids who don't understand music on even the most basic level it seems.

Is Microsoft still selling the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap for $75 on ebay? I can't find the post or the listing and it looks like the prices have shot up on Amazon. I'm tired of the regular strap on my Quest so I want to Frankenquest it up.

Boneworks is fun, finished the story today. Only thing I didn't love about it is the lack of a save system. Also, this is a me problem, but in the heat of the moment I keep trying to holster my weapon and end up just throwing it behind me- not realizing my gun is gone until I reach for it again and whip out an empty hand like a dope. Also wish that when enemies died, their ragdolls stopped colliding with the player's body. Nothing like getting stuck on a fresh corpse trying to get some space between me and the other, living enemies. Kinda wish you could rebind controls too; I'd love to replace the left hand's menu button with the slow motion button. Also, is there not a way to adjust your hand's position on a melee weapon without letting go of it first? I see the gif on the store page showing off that as a feature - did that get removed?

If you hold the weapon with two hands and release the grip (but not the trigger) on one of the hands, that hand will go into kind of an ok hand 👌 and you can slide it up and down. To do it one handed you can lightly toss the weapon up and then grab as the lower part is near your hand (I never got very good at this).

Combat Pretzel posted:Those songs have sections without percussion notes on every of the four bars, that are long enough to throw me off every drat time. Yeah the problem is if something is weird and might have say 4 or something ticks of something that sounds like a trash can lid, has 4 notes mapped to it, they don't identify that as part of the overall beat/whatever of said song. I forget the wording on the reasoning but it was basically "notes mapped to nothing". When they were very clearly part of the overall beat of poo poo. Its getting better these days though. Thankfully.

So I got the Anker cable today and I'm finally trying out the Link stuff but the headset keeps disconnecting and it's pretty stuttery, is this par for the course right now? The former issue seems to be completely hosed.

Theres like, "check point enough" as long as you keep your weapons holstered falling into death pits or something. Any other death you can just run back to where you died and get your poo poo since the game don't reset the levels physics and stuff.

Magic Leap's building off their hot success of selling 6,000 units in six months to announce they're releasing the Magic Leap 2 in 2021! Targeted at "Enterprise and Prosumers", at the same price the original one released for of $2,300USD. They may as well have just said "Enterprise sales", because it sure wouldn't have been the 'regular' consumers buying the first version too. Has Microsoft's Hololens gotten any real traction outside of the US military?

Managed to get through two levels of Boneworks mostly by straferunning, since my forward movement is still limited. Even with that limitation, I still had a blast. I love how much optional crap there is to do/find in the levels.

AR (at least the transparent, pass-through kind) isn't going to be a mass market thing for a very long time. The optics are just way too hard.

I think realistically VR does most of what companies are trying to market AR for (training, design work, etc) a lot better and a lot cheaper. There's no need to fundamentally be in an existing room and build around it when you can just generate a virtual space in an empty room that's far more relevant to the task at hand.

The former issue seems to be completely hosed. I keep disconnecting after a few minutes. I'm not sure if it's my old motherboard's USB 3 ports, the extension cable, or cable I have. I read that disabling the nvidia overlay, if you're using on nvidia gpu, can help. I just tried and went longer than I usually do. Not sure if my last dc was due to me going from a steam vr game back to the Oculus menu, or what, though.  I decided to grab Virtual Desktop. It worked great except I don't have a 5ghz router and some games had a harder time with the controllers than Link did. There's a 5ghz router I can borrow from a family member to better try it out. Also, playing Moss makes me wish there was a Dark Souls game in this format.

SirViver posted:VR headsets are generally set up with a focus distance of about 2 meters, so you need whatever glasses that help you see clearly at that distance. Neither reader nor computer lenses will help you there, and I think progressive lenses aren't exactly well suited for VR use either. So I guess you need to get a pair of regular "far distance" glasses / prescription inserts.

Turin Turambar posted:Vacation Simulator is much better than Job Simulator. Still, I would say 30€ is asking too much for it, but it will be a nice buy at 20€. JS was just a proof of concept of setting + interaction system. Vacation Simulator takes that and makes something closer to a game. In this case, a collecthaton/achievement hunting game, but one where it's fun to collect them. You do activities like skill minigames, puzzles, photos, painting, etc and it's all well integrated with exploration and some amusing humor. The locales are varied and pleasant to see and there is a ton of interactive poo poo, videogames you find for your console, customization options, etc. Thanks for this post, I've been enjoying Job Simulator on my quest and will probably get this if it's better than that.

I've played them each a good lot, they're some of my favorite VR games because of how simple and interaction-driven they are. Vacation Sim is like job sim but there's a progression. Its also got a bit more to do, but not a toooooooon more. But if you liked Job Sim its the same but better, can't go wrong.

VR Poker is really improving my game I feel. Best practice for reading people's body language and betting tendencies out there short of having a group of people you play with every single day.
