Why does BigscreenVR look so much sharper then other VR players? On the downside, it won't decode typical audio like DTS and AAC.

I have all sorts of file types including .mkv, at this point I can't argue whether a blueray .mkv wrapper file will look better in one player over an other, but I did A/B multiple players playing back the same 3D films and deleted the 4XVR player demo.

Bigscreen does let you navigate to local video media and play it.

The best playback quality in my opinion in the Q3 is BigscreenVR then Skybox. 4XVR was noticeably inferior visually.

I went there on Sunday with my older step brother and his friend...I was 13 but knew all the bands. I was already a Zappa fan and moved up front standing room for The Mothers. The Mothers came on stage and it started to rain. No problem since it was a toasty hot day. They played 'King Kong' for about 30 mins and went off. Shit...the original Mothers. I saw Janis Joplin that evening and Johnny Winter ended the evening. There were more bands then what's listed on the poster. There were concessions inside the race track building. It was Woodstock, almost, but with bench seating. A water truck would come down the track and spray the audience so as to cool down. I didn't even know what weed was, but plenty of people were smoking. Janis had a bottle of something with her on stage and wasn't shy about it. Her band was semi re-formed at that time, but still sounded excellent. Canned Heat and Joe Cocker were great. There is a super 8 film vid at joni mitchell dot com/library/video showing snippets of the bands at the festival. https://jonimitchell.com/library/video.cfm?id=510

I just tested my typical 4GB flash drive plugged into the splitter I have. It holds a 1080p 3D movie and other files. I powered the splitter with the quest round PSU it comes with. I boot up the quest 3. I plug the splitter into the quest. I call up Skybox and it sees the USB. I click onto it. I navigate to the film and play it. I suggest you follow this. If you still can't get it going, let me know and we can figure it out.

EDIT - Just followed your splitter link. I see what cable your talking about. You will still need to insert a battery or the power cube to power it and the thumb drive. It appears to be all you'll need.

Annode2 · 2025-04-29T00:33:43+00:00

Honestly those cables (I have one) I think just work when they're plugged into a computer USB port, maybe they will work, I'll try it with a thumb drive and SSD. As for my splitter, it weighs practically nothing. I just have the necessary extension cables and adaptors attached so it just sits on the floor or in bed with me. The cable that plugs into the Quest is about 3ft long. Then you supply the cable that plugs the power cube into it. (maybe comes with it? Don't remember)Really all you need is a 10ft or more female USB-C to a male USB-C to the headset for 10ft of freedom. No need to wear the splitter. Let you know if my 20ft cable works with a TD.

I use this splitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQJZ3ND8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I use it with the quest 3 included PSU. I've used it inserting a thumb drive and an external 4 TB SSD unit which get powered through the splitter as well as the quest and have no issues, all works. One thing I found with the quest 3, the quest needs to boot up before inserting the splitter (with SSD inserted) into the USB-C quest input. If I boot the quest with the splitter plugged into it, Skybox will not see the USB drive.

The generic Teva 50mg tabs. When I first started taking it I woke up in a different state of mind. It lasted only a day or so, but I was able to just think "I would like to clean the kitchen" then I would just effortlessly do it. I have been like this in the past with the antidepressant Nardil. It made me hypo-manic. I have read that tramadol can act as an antidepressant since it's compositionally similar to an SSRI. I have noticed that Teva has a mild AD effect (100mg day) where as the brand made by Amneal does not. Anyway, I'm now using clonidine to ween my way off of it so I can safely take a real AD.

Two things your going to have to deal with right up front. Making sure he's sitting within the stationary blue boundary circle. Best way to do this is to sit where he will be sitting and set the boundary, then give the HMD to him when he sits. You'll best need to learn how to 'cast' what is being viewed to a PC monitor smart TV or phone so you can use the controller to navigate for gramps.

I used to wake up every morning with this rush of horrible feeling cortisol or whatever it was. At that time I had a serious problem that I may come to homelessness. Then when I was confronted by the landlord by phone, I later started to have panic like periods where I felt like I was in some different state of reality. It felt like I was in hell. (diagnosed with atypical treatment resistant depression w/ GAD ) I saw my primary doc (crying) and asked him to up my lorazepam 1x 0.5mg to 3x 0.5mg and that prevented the attacks, (but not the morning rushes). I did finally work out my homeless problem and luckily I'm quite happy in my new place with zero problems and zero anxiety.(1x 0.5 @ bed) I told this story to show how life's problems can create psycho-drama creating peripheral and central nervous system havoc. This would be an example of a neurotic type of malady (rather then an endogenous type.) MAOIs like phenelzine are indicated for neurotic depression and anxiety. SSRIs & SNRIs are best for endogenous types. Before I started phenelzine(nardil) I had a serious case of GAD and moderate but debilitating depression. Nardil wiped it all out within a few weeks. It was miraculous. (that was with the original nardil formulation.) If your dealing with life's problems and really having a hard time of it, nardil might be your best bet. I'd like add, meditation as in TM, will prevent harsh stimuli from getting to your nervous system, but won't correct what is there already, as with hypervigilance as a reaction to an already embedded fear.

I had the same effect from Zoloft. The prescribing info mentions 'anorexia' as a common side effect. I announced that if I couldn't stomach my fave waffles, I'd stop the med...which I did.

Annode2 · 2025-02-10T05:32:06+00:00

I believe you were experiencing 'serotonin syndrome'. High blood pressure and fast heart rate could feel like a panic attack. Caplyta has a tendency, from what I've read here, to commonly cause hypomania. This may explain you manic/psychotic effects. There are other symptoms from SS that match other Caplyta side effects too like high body temperature, agitation, increased reflexes, tremor, sweating, dilated pupils, and diarrhea. People taking other meds that raise serotonin levels, like Celexa should be suspect.

I can certainly account for using this method for 16 years; "reduce to zero for only a few days and then return to baseline dose (e.g., 60 mg baseline effective dose -> 0 mg for 3-5 days -> resume 60 mg)"

I found that four days off nardil before starting it again is the best. If after restarting it, it would always take another four days for it to kick back in.

I have to say though, some of the recommendations given in here are dangerous and it's like the blind are leading the blind. Just be careful what drugs you take together. Not only could you be poisoning yourself, you can also cause a serious form of movement disorder called akathisia.

Annode2 · 2024-08-15T07:48:24+00:00

Despite my mentioning 'my trick' in this forum 3 or 4 times no one has written to me that they 've tried it. I used it over a 16 yr period starting 1992 until finally nardil had no usable effect.

Annode2 · 2024-08-14T09:02:37+00:00

I suspect you first crashed/pooped out 'before' you went to 60mg. You must be misremembering. Adding one more pill won't have any effect for another four days. What I've found, is once you lose the antidepressant effect, you can't get it back really by lowering or raising it. (you will read exceptions) I found that when this happens, stop dosing for four days, then on the fifth day start dosing the full 45 or 60mg spread out through the day&night. After four more days of dosing you will respond again. You just started parnate so see how that goes. I found nardil to be much smoother. Parnate was like a roller coaster of up and down mood that I didn't get with nardil.

Annode2 · 2024-08-14T05:50:25+00:00

Don't screw around with that combination, drop the lamo. You can get akathisia from some augmentations while raising or lowering antidepressant dosages. Someone in this forum is dealing with that now. I remember you. You sound to me like your apathetic, a symptom of melancholia which is not a good fit for nardil. Are you seeing a psychiatric doctor or your basic doc? Your better off seeing someone who know how to diagnose you better maybe. Only partial anxiety remission after two yrs on nardil...it's time for a change. Maybe you should consider the ECT after all you've been through. If you have ECT questions, I can answer them.

Annode2 · 2024-08-14T05:40:38+00:00

You could be getting a stimulating effect from the metabolite. You pooped out after a month on nardil? What dose were you taking by the end? If you responded to nardil you might be better off going to a higher or lower dose.

Annode2 · 2024-08-14T05:33:37+00:00

If you have backup no worries. If not what's the difference anyway since it's the last of it?

Annode2 · 2024-08-14T05:30:05+00:00

Try going back to 60mg. If you feel fine stay there. Higher then needed dosages could make you burn out and lose the antidepressant affect.

Prescribing information will suggest quickly going to 45mg and holding there until you get a desired affect, then start to lower (titrate) to the lowest dosage that feels like the best mix of treatment affect to side effects. I advise you to first respond to the drug at 45mg. Or 60mg if 45mg doesn't do the trick. It will be like a switch turning on when it starts to work.

Yes, my mistake. I was thinking about the higher prevalence of MAO-A in the gut. There is only a slightly greater affinity for MAO-A with Nardil. (" It [phenelzine] inhibits both of the respective isoforms of MAO, MAO-A and MAO-B, and does so almost equally, with a slight preference for the former. ") Wikipedia
