I got my free replacement face cover from Oculus today and for some reason I was expecting something more substantial. I didn't realise it was just a flimsy little band that goes round the existing cover. I dunno why I bothered really lol

Scrolling through the new Synth Riders customs and feeling old not knowing what 95% of these songs even are. Do zoomers even listen to real music, or do they all just listen to songs made by Twitch streamers that only like 100 people have even heard of?

Nowadays music creation and dispersion is much easier as such there are fewer and fewer bands that are simply known by everyone because we are all listening to our own tiny specialized music ecosystem. and it is great!

While it is generally difficult to find new songs that are more "traditional" in beatsaber custom songs, that doesn't mean they're any less quality.... necessarily. I grabbed "Flashback" and it's some Japanese anime-type song (power intro, not calm extro) and.... it's actually a drat good song on technical merits in terms of what I'm doing with my arms during it. The other problem is more traditional songs have all already been made for the most part and few people want to update an already mapped song.

My daughters (11 & 9) love “nightcore music”. I have no idea and when I try to listen with them, I cannot figure it out. It sounds just like high pitched speedy songs.

I think the “better” artists of that genre do some more work to tracks but from a base level they are just chipmunk-ing it. I’ve never personally cared for it, but different strokes and folks.

I mean, I'm sure there's some great stuff in there but half the custom songs don't even have album covers, it's just a blurry photo collage or a screenshot from an anime. And a quarter of them are song mashups that were probably used in a TikTok video. Like I can't talk too much about extremely niche musical tastes. A lot of the stuff I listen to on Spotify is by artists who have one EP to their name and I can't even recall who they are after I listen to them.

One of my favorite project concepts to eyeball is Tinker Pilot https://www.tinkerpilot.com/ and they just announced some changes coming up. I just caught myself thinking a few weeks ago whether they were still alive or not  e: They are a space sim based on the idea of 1:1 mapping of physical controls, etc.

Sometimes when I’m scrolling through the latest custom songs on BeastSaber I catch myself getting all Grandpa Simpson about how the song selection is 70% anime intros and tiktok zoomer stuff with the remaining 30% being modern pop music and a sprinkling of classic rock. But then I think about what would be charting if it were 10-15 years ago and decide anime intro themes aren’t so bad after all.

Tonight I got around to trying out Into the Radius and In Death, which I picked up in a sale awhile back but hadn't gotten to yet. Into the Radius seems alright in theory but in practice it feels over-complicated and hard to navigate, I played though the tutorial and then I was spent and I didn't feel like I was going to retain much of it, but then again it was also my first foray into VR since before summer. In Death, though, after I found a controller profile that was better than the default for my index controllers, I loved. Played for about an hour and a half, worked up a little bit of a sweat, the archery is really good and the general vibe of the game was just addictive. Once I got the cataclysm bow I smashed my way through like 3 or 4 sections of the castle. It's not perfect but I was really wanting a good archery game and this scratched that itch. I still would like a game besides skyrim with a really lengthy campaign that isn't a roguelike but that will get me physically moving a lot, I feel like I hit a wall in some of the fitness games because I can power through the easy levels but then my out-of-shapeness gets in the way when it gets hard and I can't progress. Until You Fall was pretty good about ramping it up but, the roguelike aspect can make me put it down after a run. I'd like to get something that has somewhat of a real story but is also about being active. That kind of thing seems very rare.

I did the tutorial, my play time was up, and the next time I fired it up (to test out my DecaMove) I barely managed to walk around and clumsily wave the pistol around with the safety on.

Sigh. Very bad news, at least for me. https://www.oculus.com/blog/a-new-milestone-for-quill/ It seems FB is retiring his support to Quill. Bad. I expected a Quest version of the creator, and instead they are distancing themselves from it. :/ On the other hand, they aren't closing it down, they are giving the app to the original creator (he originally created it while working at FB), and he is continuing to support it in his new separate company. https://quill.art/ And he is opensourcing the format and a reference player, so now someone could publish a version that works for SteamVR https://github.com/Immersive-Foundation/IMM/blob/main/README.md

If they're not going to continue it themselves, releasing it for the original creator to keep working on as its own thing is basically the best case scenario.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:This actually sounds like good news? Not having FB's money and backing and clout is bad. If the Quest is the number 1 VR device, the most important thing they could have done is to make a Quest version of the app, to promote people using it more and extend its popularity. Instead they are backing down. Of course opening the app source code, by itself, is good, but that doesn't mean that automatically the app is going to gain popularity. A popular Quill (closed) app is preferable to a niche Quill (open) app, from a consumer pov. Although I give them credit for handling it graciously, I understand they are giving it for free to him.

There's absolutely nothing stopping it from still being ON the Quest though, it's just now under the developer's full control. Which means it can also release on SteamVR if they want.

Oh that's what I'm critiquing , FB not putting money like before. I always imagined they were funding some of the bigger works, as they were free and there no ads or other ways to recoup money. So I fear less new material now.

Considering Quill was the number one reason I got a Quest, I'm interested to see if I'll finally have the opportunity to obey the thread title in the coming generations.

So if I have a CV1 and love the controllers and get a quest2, am I able to pick and choose which controllers I use for which headset I put on at any given time? Or am I locked into the controllers that came with the device? Secondary, if I have the base stations from CV1 setup and am playing on the q2 via airlink, am I able to use them for filling in the gaps of tracking that q2 might have, or no?

Did anyone else pick up Table of Tales? Potentially dumb question, but I can't figure out any way to adjust the table height. I've tried resetting view in Oculus and Steam, but as is I almost have to sit on the floor to read any of the cards.

Cameras won't be useful for anything going forward, and I doubt you'll ever touch your CV1 again once you have a Quest2. I know I haven't.

It seems the DLC for the Star Wars Tales from the Galaxy game round it off to offer a better experience, with with a much more decent amount of content, variety, etc. It's still a straightforward shooter, but now it's a decent one.
