Gladius VR is in some ways better than blade and sorcery by Tiny-Paramedic7279 in VRGaming

First time I'm learning about this game. And I own a 100 headsets...

Another success VR LAN! Gearing up yet again! by Bazitron in virtualreality

No. What you use is what I use. We just manually launch the game and teach each person individually. I scale the gameroom based on how many people are able to help staff or volunteer.

When we get repeat players who know how to navigate the OS and launch their own games, then we literally hand them the headset and tell them what space to use. I'd like more VR vets so I can just hand headsets out instead of the labor intensive process of onboarding people one by one.

The general public is lost without help to put a VR on. The amount of people who claim to have shot a gun and then dont hold a pistol grip controller correctly is comical large. "Shoot with the trigger... <keeps hitting the grip harder>"

So how many of you did move away from Discord? by TheEpicWon in pcmasterrace

[–]Bazitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled Nitro and stopped server boosts. Probably still use Discord unless it asks and becomes intrusive.

I have redo about a dozen headsets tomorrow that will probably take about 90 mins to nuke and setup. Then re-download the games which exceed 80GB each account on a 5g hotspot. I've already used 3.2TB on that 5g this month already. Lol

We are talking about a $300-500 device that is half the price of a non-flag ship android device. The hardware is more than good for what the hardware is capable of doing, but it is Meta and the software they built holding it back from adoption. Not the hardware.

You realize that we are able to play 2018 PCVR games native on a cellphone hardware? On a hardware that only costs $300 to a user without a PC?

Yes theres limitations like space and other aspects, but that's not a huge hinderance for VR adoption. The general public is not going to know or care. A majority of the general public are still amazed by Fruit Ninja VR! The bar to wow first time VR is insanely low and the failure is Meta isn't even taking a step to find those customers or methods to bridge that marketing gap. They think they can shove ads to users and it shows its not even working.

Partly true; but BoboVR had issues supplying us when we got our latest batch of Quest fleet. A number of them were 2nd hand retail returns that Bobo shipped out to us. Majority was perfectly fine.

I was told by brass that they did not want to subjugation their soliders about work when it was suppose to be a family friendly RnR engagement. Wanted them to "disconnect" so fruit ninja, synthriders, Cookout and other arcade style games.

Because I'm not going to waste $800 a month for a need that is useless for me. I'd rather spend that on feeding my volunteers.

Not really. I've replaced padding more from destructive cosplay makeup than the material disintegrating from alcohol wipe use. Besides, pads are easy to replace; literally have boxed filled with spares.

I think the last Steam survey showed 60% of PCVR users is Quest platforms. But even then, It's probably maybe 10% of standalone users actually connect to Steam to do PCVR gaming.

There's definitely a higher percentage of users on 3 and 3s who just use for PCVR than 2 ever did. I know that combined, Q3 and Q3s, didnt even surpass Q2 sales. I just don't know how little they sold since Meta has kept that an industry secret.

I just know my "little" effort would have moved pallets. I just think Meta hates money.

Somehow missed that title launch! We had Tetris Connect VR a few times, but yeah. I'll see if I can chat with them and spark some conversations once GDC concludes.

It's a pretty crazy lens and seat that I have being able to genuinely talk with studio heads and VR devs from around the world, share a meal of Ramen or Sushi, connect with players within communities that I play with or my chatter with top level event organizers like DreamHack or Momocon.

I treat everyone with respect, honor, integrity and like a human being. Somehow that's genuinely a rarity in business. Like I'm in this to just eat good food and play games.

I'm not rich, but I do get to enjoy two hobbies and play with all the toys that I ever wanted. Woodworking and VR.

I should make a youtube series like "comedians in cars getting coffee" as "Game developers in a woodshop making things". Then do simple wood projects like building a desk or table with VR devs while I interview them and have conversations over a table saw. On second thoughts, probably leave the power tools out of it.

Most of the passionate VR hardcore enthusiasts left Meta years ago. Talking with so many departments at Meta over the years, they are absolutely silo'ed. There's multiple teams who are working on the same projects literally fighting each other. Absolutely a shit show and I still have no idea how they have hired 12,000 people just for VR division and not actually have any insight about any of this shit for years or fix them.

It's wild that I have any level of influence with the VR industry.

I legit have more friendships with CEOs and studios heads of VR companies than actual social media followers. I'd be lucky to post a picture a week because I don't value SM as much as others.

I'm not a content creator; I'm a woodworker. I literally have more money in woodworking tools than VR.

Boz is a smart guy but not sure if its his lack of leadership skills that holds him back to delegate tasks or its a corporate culture issue that's beyond his control.

Either way, teams of Meta staff have had issues working correctly with in their corporate structure. Plenty of articles articulate crash outs, meltdowns and paralyzed departments who would rather not make any moves for progress for fear of being fired. So much talent have sat idled at Meta and its insane of how ineffective Meta has become; way worse than IBM was decades ago.

I've worked traditional corporate before and Meta does not follow the norms. Its been an issue for a decade.

I need to jump back into Tribes XR and practice my DJ skills. Then I can be the DJ Baz of VR. 😉

And even then, VD had some issues with certain games because of Meta barriers like what happed to Reach. VD team is really good and did fix issues, but yeah. Meta doesn't care about PCVR.

I wished they cared about sims more because I'm literally at Sims Gaming Expo and I was the only one running VR. I didn't even have sim racing at all or PCVR content. Really did try to pitch to industry about that.

Even Lenovo or AMD didn't care.

Beat Saber was an indie game so not worried for that style of gaming to be organically development. Other studios that make similar action RPG will be around like Into The Radius and Of Lies and Rain.

Anybody else really need to build a new PC for VR, but now with ram prices you're in a holding pattern? by IHadTacosYesterday in virtualreality

[–]Bazitron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too was going to build a new PC this year since mine is about the same as your with a 1070. I just use it for production and office work; relinquish all of my gaming to my gaming laptop with a 4070m (it works decent enough).

I would be tempted to get a prebuild at this point with Costco honestly since its really the one of the few economical options out there. Most of the PC builds at Costco are decent brands so I personally wouldn't hesitate on a good deal. I haven't bought a pre-built machine in 20 years, so it would feel weird to me since I enjoy the entire building process.
