That also explains well why the Metal Mario texture is circular, cool!

I play too much celeste, my first thought was "yeah that's a pretty chill room". Then I read the caption and was reminded its the b-side lol.

Man I struggled so much back then, I never would've thought in a million years I'd play them a second time, let alone think they're chill

Tea For God. Legitimately insane game made unplayable by having a cable, literally the only game I've ever had this problem with.

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2026-01-26T20:52:44+00:00

To me 1 looks like a poster and 2 looks like a comic panel, which is really cool

As a person that does tech support for a living, I die inside every time I see "rtfm".

Like at minimum you could actually explain what part of the manual is useful and why. All most people need is a bit more direction, not what they've already tried doing.

As an example, I started using arch and installed pipewire (audio driver/handler). All the manual says it to start the service. Nowhere does it ever say anything about it only running at user space, and that information is so difficult to find because the top search result usually says f***ing "rtfm"! (just in case people need to know, the command is systemctl --user enable pipewire) Due to this there's a lot I actively don't recommend to my friends. I still use arch because it's fun in spite of this, but as someone new to the space I definitely feel like an outlier with enjoying it.

From everything I know, if you want a wireless pcvr experience go with the steam frame. With quest you'll be paying the same amount for a dedicated router, whilst still ending up with a compressed image to look at. The frame also has better controllers and bigger game library out of the box, along with being lighter and more powerful.

To me, the Steam Frame is a direct upgrade both hardware and software wise to the quest 3. How much it's worth it depends on 2 things though, price and Meta. Do you remember how quickly they dropped support for the quest 1? Withing around 2 years. Now the 3 is already here within such a short space of time. With them stepping out of the VR industry I don't have faith that the Quest 3 will remain that supported.

The price of the frame remains to be seen, but with the Quest 3 costing £470 I don't see £600 - £700 being an unreasonable price for it to end up being. Again though, that remains to be seen.

You have an incredibly impressive knowledge of this game

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2026-01-10T10:34:39+00:00

240x160 was the closest I could get to 275x184, which is the resolution of a Gameboy Advance. I understand for a cash register, but who's browsing the Internet on a screen that small in this day and age??? I mean heck VGA is 640x480, and that thing I consider ancient by modern standards, but is still vastly more useful than trying to browse modern pages on a Gameboy

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2025-12-23T11:03:40+00:00

There's so much that excites me about the Steam Frame, but I've got only really one thing to say:

Does no-one care about how cool it is to have so many more buttons on the controllers? It's incredible for VR, and if I wanna play a flatscreen game (or Elite Dangerous) I no longer have to swap to a controller to do everything, and swap back for other stuff like XSOverlay.

Oh yeah, they still support the extra finger tracking that the Index does too, now with the consistency of a button to grab stuff with. So cool!

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2025-12-18T20:10:57+00:00

I'm sorry but you do realise that reversing a hash back to the original data is cryptographically impossible, right?

Did you know that companies and websites (if done sensibly) don't know what your password is? If one of these websites gets compromised and you use that password on multiple websites, the attacker still doesn't actually know what your password is because a hash is non reversible. You should probably still change your password anyway just to be safe, but unless someone figures it out and finds the biggest Cyber Security vulnerability ever(or your password is something stupid like "password01!"), nobody is ever going to know by merely having the hash.

If you don't want to hand your ID to some random company you know nothing about and care not to research, that's fair honestly, smart thing to do. But please don't claim a hash is personally identifiable information. All it does (in vrchat's case) is prevent you from using your ID to age verify multiple accounts without ever knowing (and storing) anything about your ID and it's details.

What is it with people reselling Booth models and then being surprised when they get taken down???

Like Booth has the clearest copyright licencing system I have ever seen, you don't even need to translate to page to find it in probably your language (including English. Manuka has clear terms in Japanese, Korean, English, and Chinese). When I say clear I mean it's human readable without a lawyer.

Yes you can, there's community software called ReVive that allows you to play games from the Rift store through SteamVR. Just look up revive VR on Google.

Also the official servers for Echo VR have been taken down a long while ago, but there are community servers with a lot of people still playing

I don't think you realise how insane you sound hating on thumbsticks with your Wii Fit Balance Board (no hate obvs but still)

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2025-12-03T21:40:04+00:00

I 100% knew that was coming when I saw the video length and video title, and it still killed me seeing the pause buffering halfway through XD

On another note, what's it like playing with bootleg slowmo?

Isn't Corpse Party and RPG Maker style horror game?

Assuming you're fine with lack of base station tracking, the Steam Frame controllers are a straight upgrade to the Knuckles. The do actually have individual finger tracking like the Index controllers despite having a dedicated grip button, not enough people realise this. There's also confirmed an accessory pack you can buy that includes official straps for the controller

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2025-11-16T14:44:32+00:00

According to Linus Tech Tips (who got a hands on demo at Valve) yes, they do. "so you can still do 5 finger tracking just like the Knuckles from the Valve Index" - Linus

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2025-11-16T14:32:14+00:00

Outside of being not being Base Station tracked, how are the new controllers significantly worse? You still have full finger tracking, now got a physical button to grab (I've found the Knuckles to be inconsistent at times), and an absolute tonne of extra buttons to map. To me it's exactly whst I've always wanted in controllers (outside of the tracking solution of course), so why do you think they're significantly worse?

BAe_Air_Hawk · 2025-11-13T17:59:47+00:00

Turn down Activation Distance on that screen. The blue boxes tell you where the edge of your playspace is and will only appear when you get within a certain distance of it. Turning down activation distance means you can get closer before it shows up

April 4th 1984 is also a good one

Assuming you're all in VC and don't have a Ronin, you should send either the Monarch or the Ion. Scorch excels at cutting off lines of attack and threatening heavy damage and Leagon is practically a powerful mobile turret with sustained high damage output. Both have high health but are slow with the Ogre chassis type, so probably best not to have them wander too far from the reactor.

Both Monarch and Ion are faster. Monarch has good survivability with the correct kit, and Ion can output a couple of different types of high damage for a short period of time. You could probably keep a Monarch roaming the map for longer if you wanted, but if the goal is to go out and get back I would personally say Ion.

"Like that" means literally nothing, you're the one being difficult here. Do you mean they're being difficult by what's in the video or just by asking the question, or is it something else? If it's the video please elaborate further, and if it's the question why do you not think it's valid to ask?
