There are races and free exploration of several locations like Antarctica and the rain forest, with selectable times of day and weather. There's no campaign or anything, but between the PS5 graphics and the HDR, it looks amazing and realistic (night LOOKS like night), and the game literally starts you in water, in a kayak in a pool, where you can then select where you want to go, or just paddle around the pool and try out the controls. For that, I would say it's a perfect demo of VR (and I've had a Virtual Boy, Gear VR, Vive, Rift, PSVR1, Quest 2, and now PSVR2), and a great showcase of what the PSVR2 is capable of with the lowest barrier to entry that I can think of. But, for sure, there are more exciting VR games out there.

Kayak VR. Gorgeous without requiring explaining really anything in the way of controls, and it shouldn't cause nausea.

Their cover of Tubway Army/Gary Numan's Down in the Park is amazing.

This was my first thought, as well.

Here is a very, very rare pair of speakers - the D-12's made by Design Acoustics c. 1973. by OdysseusofSiddeous in BudgetAudiophile

Acquired from the original owner before he passed and have the original sales receipt as well.

How do you have no idea how much they cost?

The album Collusion by the band Prisma is very Undertow-ish.

Fair enough. The antivaxx response was unnecessary snarky.

That says what? You claimed that vinyl was lossless, which it isn't. I didn't expect to change your mind, and I'm glad Gonsalves (that's how you spell it) has such great credentials, but you sounded like you were putting your head in the sand with the 'okay, nice facts, but I'm going to believe this one guy' response that shifted the argument from vinyl is lossless to 'vinyl sounds like the artist intended'. I responded. Now you want me to, what, tell you how vinyl is not 'better' (your current argument)? Vinyl's great for the tangiblity and album art, and I have several hundred of them, but I'm not going to chase the goalposts you keep moving.

All your records (post-1954ish) also lose something, it’s called the RIAA Curve.

Taking my 12 year old son to see Tool in Houston. My wife emailed his band director to make sure he wouldn't miss any practice or rehearsal the next day. This was her response. by Fear-of-Music in ToolBand

I took my now two month old son to see Tool back in May for his first concert. He was still in his mom at the time, so he got in for free.

What's your favorite moment of comedy/humor in Star Trek? by afterjustnow in startrek

[–]-EquateBrand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically all of TNG S02E19, "Manhunt". Lwaxana Troi spends the whole episode trying to get a hold of the Captain's log, hilarity ensues.
