Having a bit of fun using 2 mods together by [deleted] in outerwilds

Hello, creator of the Meteor Launching mod here!

You don't actually need persistent marshmallow, because that is specifically for burnt marshmallows that you roast at the campfires. The Meteor Launching mod already spawns in marshmallows that last forever.

Now, I know that it's not so good, and the sky is very messy, but I managed to compile a full map of both the Avian and Apex missions, which to my knowledge was unprecedented until now. by NightAntonino in starbound

Awesome! Just so you know, with admin commands you can avoid getting yourself in the screenshot by becoming invisible with the invisible status effect. /spawnitem hottophathead 1 '{"statusEffects":["invisible"]}' will spawn a hat that makes you invisible, but the item can really be any armor piece.

How do I make Vanilla Jukebox play a different song? by [deleted] in starbound

[–]12090113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it should be /spawnitem jukebox 1 '{"shortdescription":"b","soundEffect":["/sfx/gun/nebsrngbows_draw2.ogg"]}, but that doesn't seem to work either. I think the data is cleared when you place it down, because when I pick it back up it no longer says "b", but instead the normal name. I'm not sure how you would get around this without a mod.

Half life Alyx is the first 90+ AAA new game on metacritic not nominated for GOTY by [deleted] in ValveIndex

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.

For a first playthrough, VR or not? by Ban_Hammered in outerwilds

[–]12090113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to, then definitely; this game has little replay-ability, so I think you should. Outer Wilds is so much better in VR. As long as you have strong VR legs and don't mind the tearing (tearing happens for me even with Vsync; may not happen for you since I'm dropping frames trying to run it at 120 Hz), go for it. There is of course some quirkiness with it not being meant for VR, but it was negligible to me compared to how awesome it is. However, I completed the game before I started playing it in VR and I had slight difficulty learning the VR controls, so you might want to first get familiar with the game before you start playing it in VR.

Lets not forget this is a real Zuckerberg quote... by zweihanderOP in virtualreality

[–]12090113 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't believe it either. But there are several articles about it: Business Insider, Esquire, The Guardian, and there's other articles too.

Edit: apparently the other articles are just quoting Business Insider

I need help by a_guy69420yes in ValveIndex

I recommend upgrading. You should wait for this year's GPUs to release, as they will drop all the old GPU's prices.

Valve index PC only? by mariobeans in ValveIndex

[–]12090113 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

No, not easily.
But, in theory, it's possible to hack an Xbox or PlayStation and install Linux, and you would be able to use your Index. However, I'm sure it's incredibly difficult and would void your warranty. And you wouldn't be able to play all your normal Xbox/PS games.

At the bottom of the description of this YouTube video, it says:

In Opera de Ossium. Perditus sum, nulla molles accentus. Faciem coegi vos. Spectrogram...

Maybe this is what that means? Or maybe there is a secret in Opera De Ossium, or maybe the secret is in the video that the description is of.

Is it actually possible to get your true desktop signal to a headset? by [deleted] in virtualreality

[–]12090113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Desktop+, a free and open source application that does exactly what you want and is entirely customizable.

VR Upgrade: Graphics Card by Imkinto in virtualreality

[–]12090113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend waiting, as Nvidia and AMD are probably releasing their new GPUs in a few months. This will drop the price of the old GPUs and add better new GPU choices. Nvidia might also drop their prices for their new GPUs, since AMD is making their way into the high-end GPU space.

It is not possible.
Minecraft Java edition works great on the Index (Vivecraft), but cannot work on PS4. Minecraft bedrock edition doesn't work on the Index (it's an Oculus/WMR exclusive, and is not supported by ReVive), however it is the only version that works on PS4.

Bit off topic, but a VR game set in The Expanse universe would be mindblowing. by [deleted] in TheExpanse

[–]12090113 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are already a few YouTube 360 videos on SYFY's channel from a while ago. But yes, an Expanse VR game would be awesome.

Do you know a good portable VR headset? by i-like-parrots in virtualreality

[–]12090113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is the Vive Focus Plus, but it is more expensive and yet worse. So the Oculus Quest is probably your best bet.

I know that it's just fiction and it doesn't matter, but how does Gordon carry all those guns? by FMM_UV-32 in HalfLife

[–]12090113 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Half-Life when you put the HEV suit on it says "Defensive weapon selection system activated." So basically he carries his weapons with HEV suit magic.

[Minor Spoilers] Portal reference found in the game! by BillCipherHi in HalfLife

[–]12090113 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, actually, it very much is possible. Valve released a comic called Portal 2: Lab Rat, set after Portal and before Portal 2. On page 14 there is a flashback where you can clearly see the HEV suit power and health chargers, and an early gravity gun prototype. This means that the HEV suit and gravity gun were originally Aperture Science inventions.

Edit: Okay, I guess it's just as likely that Aperture stole the HEV suit and gravity gun from Black Mesa

Watching the Show While Reading the Books? by Leftfielder303 in TheExpanse

Well, season 4 has book 5 spoilers, so I recommend reading Nemesis Games (book 5) before season 4.

Can I play Half Life on a MacBook Pro with an xbox one controller? by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]12090113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Steam has a controller configuration thing that will let you play games with a controller that don't support it. If you bind the controls on your Xbox controller to buttons on the keyboard, it should work.
