@soychotic @AlanRMacLeod It's possible they just mixed up the land and the ocean 😆

@AlanRMacLeod I feel like with this much obvious troll data (lots of points in the ocean) maybe whoever created the question should reword it or make it less annoying somehow before trying to pass this off as anything to take seriously

A reminder that only 23% of Americans can find Iran on a world map.

My eyes are very bad, I can't drive due to it. Taking Uber/cabs to work, I've noticed something. Over time, Uber will raise the price if they reason that you *must* go to a place. That you rely on them. From $9.50avg to $23avg within 6 months. I wrote a small program to - Create new uber account - Create new proxy credit card - Request ride to given destination from current Back down to $9.50 avg. Tech companies are so comically evil that it's transcended unfunny.

@SadlyItsBradley Lone echo is one of my favorite VR games

Supernatural will at least have a “skeleton crew” to keep the fitness app on life support As expected, they want internal teams to prioritize AI and Meta Horizon Worlds (more specifically the mobile version, not necessarily VR) Meta deleted Ready at Dawn (Lone Echo) in 2024

Meta is shutting down these internal game studios: • Supernatural (VR Fitness) • Sanzaru (Asgards Wrath) • Twisted Pixel (DeadPool) • Armature (RE4 VR) But Keeping: • Beat Games • BigBox • Camoflaj • Ouro • Glasswords

@JakeJarvis_ @YourAnonNews ok, well explain why not, maybe that's when we can start to have a conversation?

@YourAnonNews If you think drag queens should be reading to kids you are part of the armpit of society. That’s a fact. Not an opinion

@JakeJarvis_ 😂

I’m a man led by curiosity and grounded by conviction

@noaribeca sorry, that's not how inductive charging or batteries work

@zackmac63102618 @Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley Also it's best suited for Asia in ergonomics and software. They released "comfort" facemasks recently but they look like a quick fix rather and not to the same quality.

@worekarolis @Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley That's quite interesting. Just a few questions: Do you have a high end pc? Or have you been using PFD predominantly as a standalone VR system? Are you more interested in standalone or PCVR?

the best summary of @SadlyItsBradley 's discord I've seen yet

@zackmac63102618 @Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley As of PFD, it's a good package on paper. Hand and controller tracking isn't there yet, and somehow head tracking feels weird too. If I lean head to the side it feels like the view only rotates, but doesn't move enough to the side.

@zackmac63102618 @Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley I have a top end PC. PFD doesn't really have any content as stand alone. I see a lot of potential in PC VR and standalone if it's done right. And I know Valve will deliver.

@Nick_Marseil A PC is not only about hardware, it's more about freedom to customize software or hardware. Consoles are locked.

I love that PC fanboys keep claiming Consoles are dead, while Valve keeps trying to become one.

@zackmac63102618 @Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley I have PFD, and I gladly would swap it with Frame :) not for FOV, but the whole package

@worekarolis @Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley For sure that's true, price is key here. But more than that, they prioritised standalone steam gaming over full PCVR. Fortunately today, micro-OLED does not limit FoV - both Pimax Dream Air and Bigscreen Beyond 2 have wide FoV. I hope they release a high res uOLED pro version.

@zackmac63102618 @Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley It's all about price. They can't release VR for more than $1k also OLED are just not bright enough and limited in FOV. I would take bigger fov over the resolution

@Justidude @dtupper @SadlyItsBradley Agreed. It's quite surreal to see 2160 x 2160 per eye LCD in Valve's PCVR successor to the Index, launching in 2026. That just can't be right.

@SteamDB @SadlyItsBradley

Steam Frame, Steam Controller, Steam Machine announcement is expected soon, here's a first look!

@Alecazam123 @sabosugi How come PC VR works just fine?

@sabosugi Same reason an eGPU is slow. Would need to send camera data to compute unit over cable, and then send combined video back and power on same cable.

We are not thinking big enough.

@josecanciani @sabosugi It's been done on PC VR so many times

My guess is you would need a lot more cables than just one; there are too many input feeds (cameras + sensors). Also, input from the camera to the CPU/GPU wouldn't be direct anymore, compromising processing latency. I'm not sure it would be feasible to split the R1 from the M2/5: if that's possible, maybe the sensor processing can be done on the device, while the rest of the processing is outside.

@unit_accord @sabosugi So you're saying PC VR can't work?

@sabosugi @jmdagdelen Because of lag. I hope you now understand engineers.

@1GamewithDave1 Grim fandango

First game you think of when you see this?

@mundoxrbrasil I have it. Few things sux on it. My nose doesn't fit just by a millimeter :) and it basically doesn't have any content... Apart from PC VR and I can't make work over wire.

If you think about it — the Play for Dream costs $1,999, comes with controllers, has the same processor, and double the storage of the Galaxy XR… so the real difference here is the operating system, right? And that’s something they can definitely fix in the future. 😉

@timsoret I don't really know, but judging by the deteriorating economy that might be true

@worekarolis Do people really work more now than before the pandemic?

Interesting that cinema hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic. What replaced it? Live performances? Time with loved ones? Video games?
