    Scorpion Gaming chair

    There is a LTT review video for this. Seems pretty stupid to me, but I guess some people are into that stuff.

    Starfield

    They should just use Unreal Engine like what Obsidion did with Outer Worlds. That was UE4 and Obsidion was able to adapt to it and create a game in a couple years, it would be even easier with UE5. They could actually have cutting edge graphics like they did for Oblivion and Skyrim when they...

    Any good games with offline bots?

    I feel I'm just as good as back then, even better in some ways. I have decades of game knowledge that still applies to new games. Reflexes do get slower with age, but not nearly as much as most people think. When you factor in ping and input lag it's negligible. Of course I don't have time...

    Nvidia set to be featured on 60 Minutes

    The 60 minutes people probably just heard about AI. Their first question will probably be "what does AI stand for?"

    New RGB Razer Firefly 2 pro mousepad

    Looks kinda cool although not something I would use. I'm surprised it doesn't cause problems with tracking. Maybe it would be noticable on a mouse with a sensor that isn't so good. Also that in an optical mouse. Laser mice are something different and not really common anymore.

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Well, Quests are extremely popular and heavily played by 12 year olds. It's just not the games you would probably play or even think of. The most popular games are very physical and social and not as appealing to old men. Right now Gorilla Tag is the most popular VR game. It has millions...

    What do you consider mass market? Quests already outsell Xbox.

    Unreal 5.4 Update now available

    It's not that big of a hassle with UE5. Even if you have added your own code. It's mostly just added features and not breaking changes.

    Unreal 5.4 Update now available

    Lol, no idea what that was supposed to be, but clearly some kind of error in the headline. We'll actually be seeing games use this sooner than that. The Marvel game they showed is supposed to come out next year. It's pretty easy to upgrade from previous versions of UE. And if you're...

    ConVRgence released - Post-Apocalyptic scavenging with a VR dog

    "Released", but it's early access. The sound details, for what's done so far is superb. I'm looking forward to this, I probably won't get it until the finished release though. Also it's just made by one guy, which is amazing.

    Pimax!!!...So instead of creating the 12x... They decided to make another 2 headsets on-top of the last 2 headsets...

    That would make it easier for them, but they could use 2 cables if they really wanted to, one driving each screen. It might be a bit beyond Pimax's capabilities, or what they want to take on, but it's definitely doable.

    What is wrong with steam?

    Are you installing to a Hard Drive or an SSD? Also what CPU do you have? Steam compresses the shit out of downloads and hits your IO and CPU hard while it downloads them. Pretty much every other store downloads the file full speed then uncompresses it after. Steam does both at once, and...

    New to home automation, where to start?

    Do NOT use wifi devices. If you're going really get into it and do a lot of devices use z-wave and/or zigbee devices along with a HUB that they all connect to and does all the automations. There are a bunch of different hubs you can get, but the best are either building out your own with...

    Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

    Ok, to each their own I guess. I completely disagree, especially in regards to the lighting. It looks like decade old game tech with more polygons and higher resolution textures. Similar to Starfield.

    Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

    What specifically do you think looks good in cryengine and this game's graphics?

    Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

    Looks like it's still the same engine or some other version of CryEngine. The graphical detail is decent, but the lighting is clearly last gen. Skin and other textures look extremely flat. Looks like a cool game though.

    Is there a gaming mice that is not garbage ?

    Almost all mice use nearly identical switches for left and right click which is usually what ends up breaking, especially if you're hard on them. There are some mice that use optical switches. I would look into that. I use a Logitech G502X that has them.

    China finds a way to use the low-cost Nvidia TX2i as a Missile Guidance piece

    Microcenter is coming back to the Bay Area!!!

    Their best deals are in-store-only CPU motherboard combos. Usually everything else usually matches amazon at best. The last couple computers I built I bought the CPU and motherboard from MC and pretty much everything else from amazon.

    Pimax!!!...So instead of creating the 12x... They decided to make another 2 headsets on-top of the last 2 headsets...

    Yeah it's definitely a double edged sword. I want Pimax to succeed because I love their ideas. So far the end results haven't been worth the trade offs for me. I'm still happy they're around and pushing the envelope though.

    Pimax!!!...So instead of creating the 12x... They decided to make another 2 headsets on-top of the last 2 headsets...

    I don't think it has anything to do with current GPUs. I think they can't actually build it. The parts can't be made or manufactured, or built at a reasonable price, etc. Pimax is the essence of a child enthusiast turned into a company. Any cool idea that pops into their head they attempt...

    Manor Lords - Early Access Release - 4/26/24

    I thought it was just another Electronic Arts game to not care about but in this case EA = Early Access, not Electronic Arts. This looks really cool. Amazing what the game dev tools today allow one guy to do.

    So, what are you rocking for VR?

    That's the nice thing about the new Quest headsets. You just put them on and play, anywhere. I would recommend trying out BoneLAB. It's very much a VR game and not just a game made to work in VR like HL:A is IMO.

    AI Developers eyeing gaming GPUs

    If you're talking about the tiny box the whole point of it is it doesn't require any special infrastructure. It uses the max power a 15 amp outlet can provide, basically like a space heater. You just plug it in and you're good. The point of it is you have AI services in your home, no...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    The federal government has given out over a half trillion dollars since the 1990s to ISPs to "expand their networks to underserved areas" which they used to buy up competition. Countless local governments have made deals with ISPs that give them exclusivity.

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    The small town where I group up of under 2k people has had fiber since the late 2000s. They've always had really fast cable internet and a half dozen DSL providers. And they were very cheap back when when I lived there. Now they also have multiple wireless options that are pretty fast, not...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    I like the idea, but I find net neutrality legislation hard to support. The idea sounds good. All traffic should be treated equally on the internet, so everyone and every company gets an even playing field. But you know the actual law is going to be 1000 pages of bullshit with loopholes...

    ViewSonic XG272-2K - Blurbuster's Certified 240hz 1440p OLED display

    Yeah I wouldn't give up VRR for BFI. But the BFI in this has a wide range it can be set to compared to most monitors that don't have it or at best have 1 or 2 fixed frame rates. So that's one step closer to simultaneous VRR BFI. Hopefully it's in the works.
  32. sharknice

    Could BFI be done using a dedicated overlay?

    That's what active 3D glasses did. If it was on the actual display there aren't any advantages over strobing the backlight, only disadvantages.

    Quest 2 Air Link occasional stutters

    Does that actually work well? I heard it didn't because windows doesn't handle hotspots very well.

    I'm cautiously pessimistic. Maybe it will be good, but it will probably be disappointing.

    Quest 2 Air Link occasional stutters

    It's only for wireless connection from your headset your PC (it doesn't even work wired), since it runs directly on the headset you have to buy it on the Quest store. If you had a Pico headset you would have to buy it on their store, etc. The one on Steam is different.

    Quest 2 Air Link occasional stutters

    That's also what I use. IMO it's easily the best. It isn't free though.

    Quest 2 Air Link occasional stutters

    Yeah when the Q2 is plugged in it stays in a range around there, just make sure you plug both ends of that cable in or it won't get enough power to charge and slowly drain. Also you should see if steam link works any better, you just download it from the quest store, it's free, then turn on...

    Quest 2 Air Link occasional stutters

    Yeah that should work. Assuming your stutters are caused by your wifi and not your PC or the game choking. You could also try out SteamLink and see if that works better than air link.
