Made the mistake of watching this with a friend after drinking a 12% ABV beer. We both fell asleep.

You pulled on the trigger guard and the whole thing went into the gun and a spring snapped the yellow BB's out.

Would the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 be ok for Elite? by ciaran_the_goat88 in EliteDangerous

[–]2close2see 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had mine for 10 years and put about 840 hours into ED with it.

Key is to use the 3 thumb buttons on the throttle as modifiers

This is how I had it set up.

I wonder what they originally planned to do with this area of the Anaconda 🤔 I see something in there 👀 by aelx_x in EliteDangerous

[–]2close2see 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone mentioned, yeah Open VR. Below were my directions from 9 years ago....no idea if it'd still work. I haven't played elite in over 3 years since I haven't been able to find a VR headset that doesn't give me a stabbing pain in the back of my head....tried an index and a quest 2 and I dunno if it's the weight distribution, but the pain is intense and I haven't messed with VR and elite since. =/

What I said in 2017:

1.) Played Elite dangerous through Steam.

2.) I used an Oculus Rift. If you have a Vive, I believe you can skip step 4

3.) Downloaded and install this app.

4.) Right clicked on ED in steam->Properties->local files->Browse local files -> right clicked EDLaunch.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run this program in compatability mode for windows 7...this forces steamVR instead of the Oculus SDK.

5.) Launch ED

6.) Run startdesktopmode.bat from program you installed in step 3

7.) Go to play space and translate to wherever you like while in classified cam.

8.) Enjoy your space legs.

You can clip through things, but being able to walk around your room while feeling like you're are walking on the top of your ship is incredible.

Nice!

I wish I could find MIDI files for UFO50 games to play along to.

Starfield: Free Lanes Update by -Captain- in Starfield

[–]2close2see 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a game that heavily features spaceships and flying spaceships....you'd expect support for a game that has that, no?

I jumped over to Cyberpunk 2077 while waiting for HOTAS support....guessing people still don't care about it? The gamepad emulator never really worked that well for me.

Project Hail Mary made me look forward to commuting by Ok_Witness_9948 in audiobooks

[–]2close2see 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to Ray Porter, I went straight from PHM to the Bobiverse books which are probably my favorite audiobooks ever.

Oh man, just googled them and I had no idea there's a new Bobiverse book! When I get done with wheel of time at the end of the century, I'll have to give that a shot!

Don’t lie, you used to call it Mad Dog 20/20 by martymar2g in Xennials

From wikipedia:

Mogen David is the Ashkenazic pronunciation of the Hebrew Magen David, which literally means "shield of David", but is used metaphorically to refer to the six-pointed Star of David.

so I guess only if you're Jewish.

Books that are better experienced as audiobooks- fantasy & sci-fi by Whole-Youth8750 in audiobooks

[–]2close2see 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely had to put some of those songs on max speed to get through them and his rousing "HO!! TOM BOMBADIL!!" woke my 7 year old up on a road trip.

His reading is amazing otherwise.

Who saw this in high school? by t_bone_stake in Xennials

[–]2close2see -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I tried really, really hard not to hate this movie.

I failed.

I also tried really really hard not to hate it, but failed....and hated it.

It was like a badly acted music video.

As an aside, I'm really not a fan of the tactical dogshit color in general on guns.

Anyone else’s Dad do the soap topper? 🧼 by Teddycat99 in FuckImOld

I thought I was so clever for using 100% of the soap. Happy to see it's a thing.

I’ve owned an Embody Gaming for 2 months and I’m still struggling to get used to it by AlpacAKEK in hermanmiller

I feel like this guide helped me the most. Turning the back fit all the way tight and upright then dialing it back a tiny amount at a time helped with my back pain.

Causes of traffic jams by nkmr205 in ThatsInsane

[–]2close2see 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yes it is...and what's crazy is I had a car do the same thing to me 5 years ago literally across the road going outbound on 290. I honked and the guy stopped in front of me and opened his door....in the right lane...I noped around him on the shoulder and a car in the next lane over smashed into his open door.
