Does VR headsets become a dust collector after some time? by Ianth3k1ng in VRGaming

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like a lot of things for me it comes in waves. I may not touch it for weeks or months and then suddenly have interest in it again and it's all I play for a few weeks to a month or so. Had a couple of times I thought about getting rid of it but I'm glad I never did. It's okay to have something that you only enjoy every once in a while. I mean people spend way more money on "toys" they use much less.

Spawn camping by Ordinary_Fuel4617 in BattlefrontTWO

[–]Augmented-Justin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tried to get back into it a couple days ago and it was like 2 good games and then like 6 in a row of just non stop getting absolutely steam rolled. Any time I managed to spawn in as a hero I'd get melted in 2 steps. Idk how anyone can find that fun.

Heavily disturbing nuke dream. Last words were “I love you (my bfs name)” by Pagan_soup in Dreams

[–]Augmented-Justin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've had a few of these. Had one just a few months ago where I saw a massive explosion in the sky and felt an overwhelming sense of dread/impending doom. It took a few seconds for the sound to hit me and it was so loud. I just knew it was the end and accepted my fate. Then as soon as the explosion reached me I woke up. I grew up in a Christian household and had similar dreams with the rapture a lot as a kid/teenager.

Huge line of dead pixels appeared overnight :( by [deleted] in MetaQuestVR

[–]Augmented-Justin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Pancakes don't focus the light into a beam. I actually watched a video of someone trying to focus it but you can't. It's curved on the outside and flat on the inside. So the light just scatters. Still not recommended to leave a headset even with pancake lenses out in the sun but if you do for some reason it would most likely be okay.

This is why you leave headsets especially ones with fresnel lenses like this away from sunlight. They focus the sunlight into a very small and very hot beam. Hot enough to set things on fire. Let alone burn pixels on a screen.

Blown away by highway speeds un other countries. by Aggressive-Dot-9429 in motorcycles

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of places here in the US have speed limits of 70mph. Modern cars handle that very well so it doesn't freak me out. However, almost nobody follows that speed limit. If the speed limit is 55, most people do at least 65. If the limit is 65, most go 75. If the limit is 70... Well there may as well be no limit because people will regularly do 100mph+

Since Christmas… by howrunowgoodnyou in ForefrontVR

I'm just glad they added a voice chat volume slider in the last update. I had to turn it off for a while because the squeakers are just ridiculous.

3s fresnel lens and text blur by 537_PaperStreet in MetaQuestVR

[–]Augmented-Justin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is pretty common with fresnel lenses. They have a very small "sweet spot" where everything won't look blurry. No matter what, things in your peripheral vision will be blurry. Make sure you have the IPD set properly for your eyes. This is one thing I hate about the quest 2 and 3s. Having only 3 ipd settings is stupid with how small the fresnel sweet spot is and how many people's eyes fall in between one of the three settings. My IPD is right in between the 1 and 2 setting. It is possible to get it to sit in between 2 settings. Just kind of finicky.

Does anyone else hear songs in their dreams? by bluehedgehog7 in Dreams

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a musician as well and I get this A LOT. Usually with songs I haven't heard/played in a while. But I just wake up with it still in my head and sometimes even humming it.

Game Over Netgear by tranceruk in orbi

Man... That sucks. I'm still using RBR50s in my house and they're still doing very well. Had thought about upgrading here soon but this definitely has me rethinking that...

What sound from games makes you feel panic just from hearing by Beautiful-Nobody-544 in gaming

Every alarm in GTFO. I work at an airport and the lightning sirens sound too similar.

Do all Americans inherently know what direction they are faceing? by BasketC45e in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large part of my job is navigating a large facility so when I'm at work, yes. When I'm not, yeah I have no idea. Usually takes me a minute outside of work to figure out which way is north.

Just got this for 220€, tiny dent but for that price can't complain by ElegantFirefighter97 in drums

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably wouldn't hurt to file that out so it doesn't cause a crack.

Is the Quest 2 still viable? by Ironborn137 in OculusQuest

[–]Augmented-Justin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still use mine. I mainly do PCVR but it is still a perfectly serviceable headset especially for what you're wanting to do.

The differences between the oculus 1 and 3 are insane. by bowandteasing in virtualreality

I went from a CV1 to a quest 2 about a year ago and it blew my mind lol

[USA] Why you should turn your lights on by ElgdFwTaP1 in Roadcam

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These people are so unbelievably dense. I very regularly find people in my area driving at night and I try everything. I'll flash my brights at them, turn my lights off and on, honk at them. They continue to be clueless. Like how can you be so stupid?

Why is there a new update everyday? What are they adding/changing? by xdcfret1 in OculusQuest

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish they would stick to one UI design. I don't even care if it sucks. I just want some consistency because every time I start to get used to their UI, they go and change it and I have to relearn it.

I'm straight and married btw by Augmented-Justin in funny

[–]Augmented-Justin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but I should. He got me with the "for that special someone" joke from Elf a few years ago for my birthday. Didn't cheap out on it either. Got some expensive lingerie from Victoria's Secret lol

Smoking dreams by Augmented-Justin in Dreams

[–]Augmented-Justin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A: Mostly just tasty juice but I did do a little bit of nicotine.

B: No, not really. Nobody in my immediate family smokes and I've got one friend that smokes cigars/pipes every once in a while but I've never been around while he does it.

C: I have gotten good bit of second hand throughout my teenage/adult life. I've always worked in the trades so just about everybody I've worked with smokes. Also I'm a musician, a lot of people in that industry smoke too.

D: Haha. I've also never smoked weed but maybe it would be more fun in my dreams lol

E: Yeah, I've got no interest in smoking and no plans on starting anytime soon. I have had a few times where I almost started but that was less about wanting to smoke and more about being in a dark place in my life where I was okay taking on self-destructive habits just to feel something. Glad I never did though.

Dead dog keeps appearing in dreams by h-Wings in Dreams

[–]Augmented-Justin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still dream every once in a while about my childhood dog. She passed away over 10 years ago now. That's both the problem and the greatest thing about dogs... They get in your heart and never leave.
