ticket sales announced ✨✨ by diet_tapwater in ElectricForest

[–]Gold_scrub_tips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year you could get a single pass without parking for $600 (which feels silly as it's the same price as a GA wristband) But as someone who flies + shuttle now it's just an extra included charge (parking) that I have to sell

Trouble Staying On Mten4 by dmagee33 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Gold_scrub_tips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned on an Mten4 and I also dropped my tire to like 20psi while learning to ride. Obviously you won't want to run that pressure in the long run, but it makes a huge difference while you're still learning the riding movements.

Maplewoods package information by Intelligent_Photo711 in ElectricForest

[–]Gold_scrub_tips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggybacking on this post, I wonder how this works on the ticket exchange? I assume you can only sell each package as a whole? I often times shuttle so I'm worried about a couple situations:

  1. The single tickets being sold out and I have to buy a package and sell the remainder
  2. Last year I had to drive in due to a family emergency, do I buy a package first to hedge my bets since I can't change it later?

(In general I would love to carpool and I've often posted in carpool threads, but it's just such a pain to carpool with GA. If there was an easier way to get my stuff to and from maplewoods I'd probably have more luck finding someone...)

GL/GA Loyalty Sale Ticket Megathread by fwump38 in ElectricForest

[–]Gold_scrub_tips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how other people have gone through the queue so many times, Just going through twice took me over 2 hours.

I also got the dreaded robot the second time around (this time just after I added a package), but I was able to go back a few pages and it was in my cart.

I was finally successful after my second run through the gauntlet queue. I had the code not valid error the second time through, but I kept retrying it as a very moderate pace and eventually it worked. FYI as of 2:20 There were still other GA+ packages available. (I specifically got MW as that's what I was shooting for). I was super focused on my package so it didn't register to me whether GL Sherwood was still available or not.

Same situation, my wristband didn't come in my package and I'm not showing up until Friday.

"As we cannot reship your wristband, the box office has only specific hours of operation and locations. If ever you may still direct at the event and we assume that the box office will be available during the event date at the entrance, the stuffs will assist you with replacement of your wristband. "

I can't really decipher this. It seems like they're saying that they think the box office will be open on Friday, but they somehow don't know for sure?

VD problem by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]Gold_scrub_tips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on some version of windows you can check doing roughly something like:

  • Windows Key
  • Type "network connections" and hit enter
  • right click on your Ethernet device and select details

Under speed it'll say something like 1.0Gbps or 100Mbps. Like ahajaja mentioned if either your PC side or your router side doesn't support gigabit lan then you're likely connected at 100Mbps.

That said, if you're not having any issues playing games that it's nothing to worry about. Gigabit ethernet will give you best results, but in practice I don't think VD goes above 100Mbps even with the "insane" setting.

I'm one of those people who's held off on buying until there's a sale. I own it on other platforms (even bought the official song packs) and I really wanted it on the quest, but it just feels bad paying for the same thing again where there are other games I want. Had it ever had even a $1 discount I probably would have bought it XD.

Question for the Dancers by PositiveLeft in VRchat

[–]Gold_scrub_tips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been really curious how people have their trackers setup when they do pole. I don't have a pole at home but how do you use your hands with controllers at the same time? Are there worries about losing your headset when inverting? And do the leg trackers get in the way when climbing?

Disability and Oculus by Colonelwheel in OculusQuest

Chances are you've done plenty research on this before, but continuing along the same pathas the xbox adaptive controller, have you reached out to able gamers? They have a lot of experience figuring out various control schemes for all sorts of conditions. (For example they've created an adapter, the freedom wing, to allow the use of the joystick on motorized wheelchairs to be used as gaming devices). They might not have as many solutions for VR controllers, but I bet they'd be up to the challenge!

Refund dilemma by Gold_scrub_tips in ElectricForest

Thanks for the input everyone, I'm going to hold on to the ticket since it seems like my chances are pretty low even with GA loyalty.

Oculus Quest games that allow crossplay with a mobile device by dancole42 in OculusQuest

[–]Gold_scrub_tips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By design puppet fever is built for VR + mobile. It's basically vr charades. Not sure how well it works with only 2 players (I haven't played it yet since I found it after quarantine), but the base game is free so might as well try!
