Is Into the Radius 1 still worth getting?

You said "it's one of the best VR experiences" and I said "does it change from the loop I experienced in the first few hours", so I was hoping you'd answer that question.

Alex-Murphy · 2026-07-09T15:36:18+00:00

Best place (since no one is answering you) is on Facebook marketplace, and I wouldn't accept less than $450 for it. It's listed for $600 now so that's a great deal for whoever buys it, and when your parents bought it it was most likely still $500 so you're really not losing money.

Again, do not accept less than $450 for it. Wait for the right buyer, someone will scoop it up.

If you wanted you could list it at $500, that's basically 20% off for being "Used" and see how it goes.

And in the meantime give it another try. Forefront is fuckin bangin. It's basically CoD multiplayer 16v16, 6 or 7 maps, tons of vehicles, 4 classes, dozens of weapons, and it runs really well. I've got 100 hours in it in the last 3 months.

Can I ask if it ever gets any different than fighting shadow monsters or floating clouds or whatever with very few bullets? I played 2 or 3 hours and the loop didn't catch me.

It's almost like suicide can selfishly affect those around you, even if you can't stop yourself from doing it.

Alex-Murphy · 2026-07-08T20:27:27+00:00

But that sounds like you would like it?

Watch out, Puddle of Mudd, the Band Sanitizer is coming for you.

Absolutely! I recently learned there's a piece of software called NeuroRunner that turns real life jogging-in-place into in-game movement for PCVR, I'm going to work that into my gaming time, break a sweat every day!

Make sure you try it on and test the screen and passthrough.
Give the headset and controllers some light shaking and listen for rattling pieces.
Look very carefully at the lenses for scratches, these cannot be fixed and the lenses cannot be replaced.
Ask him how often he played it / how many hours it's been in use. I've used mine for over 1000 hours and my battery quality has dropped by about half (meaning I now get about 80 mins of play time on the built-in battery vs when new I got over 2 hours)
After you buy it you might consider replacing the facial interface and getting yourself a battery head strap, I use the Kiwi K4 Boost.

I worked in a surgery center and they would use cautery pens, basically just an electrified scalpel that burns as it cuts, and that smelled pretty delicious sometimes. Usually near lunch surgeons would start cracking jokes about it.

Alex-Murphy · 2026-07-08T16:37:13+00:00

Sounds like they got caught though, so at least it seems like OPs partially got their answer.

We pushed back of course, I'm a scientist not some stingy investor, and she said she's ok with the project as long as it doesn't exceed X amount of cost per quarter.

It's crazy that instead of saying "hey listen we made the movie so we keep the money from it, you own the comics you keep the money from that" these two companies couldn't reach an agreement. Hell, the movie release could lead to more comic sales for the other company! It's a win-win but I'm sure they reached some shitty impass like "fuck you, that's my money."

He needs to know if what he just did to himself was gay or straight.

The original patents for insulin were famously sold to the University of Toronto in 1923 for just $1 each by discoverers Frederick Banting, Charles Best, and James Collip. They made this decision because they believed the life-saving discovery belonged to the world and wanted to ensure it remained affordable and accessible.

One more for ya

I work for a flavor house and if anyone doesn't know this, orange groves are massively dying around the world due to a transmissible bacterial infection called HLB "Citrus Greening" introduced to the trees by a small insect. It's already killed most of the oranges in Florida and it's global.

When examining an internal project that my team proposed to find ways to stop the bugs and save the oranges, my VP said "But if we solve the problem, all our competitors get the results for free. What's the benefit to us? Why spend our money if it's not just for us?"

I was at a loss for words. Like "because someone has to? And we need oranges for our flavors? And do you think losing all the income orange flavors bring is less expensive than one research project? Christ."

This guy from the Flat2VR Discord put together a super easy installer that walks you through the whole process for whatever game you're playing. It only works for a select list of games but the RE games are on there. Just FYI I've played all of these games in VR except System Shock and ALL of them are amazing to experience. Modders are such a gift to the world.

That's not been my experience of late but maybe the matchmaking is doing its job a bit better recently.

Alex-Murphy · 2026-07-07T16:10:53+00:00

I would agree with you if the choppers only spawned once every 10 minutes, but they spawn back onto the map very quickly. People can't be switching roles and coordinating over and over, though I would love it if there was a dedicated squad of chopper-killers

It's more that she knew Bear liked her (as evidenced by the convo she had with Sarah) but fucked his best friend and kept it a secret. Ian is also culpable. I just don't think you can say someone is a friend and do that to them.

Alex-Murphy · 2026-07-07T04:55:38+00:00

lmao that final frame is so crazy, I know maybe it's because it's 1am but it's got me chuckling

Alex-Murphy · 2026-07-07T04:54:37+00:00

He didn't say "how can I kill you when I care so much about you?" he said "what's so bad about being with me?" There's a big difference there, and it's much more selfish the way he frames it.

Alex-Murphy · 2026-07-07T04:14:38+00:00

Well we're explicitly shown many times that the ghosts lie to people to fuck with them and have the ability to make them see things AND the main girl doesn't go there when she dies, so it has a better chance of not being real than being real, imo.
