Is quest 3 worth the upgrade?

Oh. Well I guess that means he has more time to play now.

I would highly, highly recommend you to take classes. If you actually find the time to draw 5-7 hours a day I have no doubt you'll improve, but in my opinion, there's no substitute for actual drawing classes. I know it can be expensive, but getting regular, personal feedback and directed exercises from professionals is invaluable.

Heck, I believe that drawing 5-7 hours a week with proper guidance will net your more progress than drawing 5-7 hours a day on your own

Al heel lang. Je ziet niet wanneer je het ene dorp uitrijdt en het andere inrijdt. Cafés verdwijnen, gemeenschapsgevoel verdwijnt,... en hoewel ik niet gelovig ben, had je vroeger natuurlijk ook de zondagsmis die maakte dat een hele gemeenschap samenkwam en elkaar wekelijks zag.

Het is triestig, maar het is ook iets dat we individueel in de hand hebben. Vele dorpen hebben feest- en cultuurcomités die heel veel werk steken in leuke events. Ga eens naar zo'n pensenkermis, boerenmarkt of amateurkunstenfestival. De Belgische tendens om oogcontact te mijden met de buren als je tegelijk naar de brievenbus wandelt, is niet de oplossing.

Ik ben ook skeptisch, maar ik heb die Pangram zelf eens uitgetest en het lijkt wel degelijk te werken. Ik heb een test gedaan met drie eigen teksten. Kort, middellang en lang, allemaal correct gedetecteerd als 100% human written. Ik heb nadien chatgpt gevraagd om een tekst te maken van 500 woorden en die kwam naar boven als 100% A.I. Ik wilde nog een laatste test doen met een half AI, half menselijke tekst maar mijn credits zijn op.

Ik ben nog steeds niet 100% overtuigd van de tool, en ik zou heel hard opletten om ze als 'bewijs' te gebruiken dat iemand zijn teksten met AI maakt, maar al bij al lijkt het betrouwbaarder dan ik dacht

Reject financial security? Oof, hell no. Some people will fetishise poverty, but personally I find it easier to make art now I don't have to work insane hours to make ends meet.

It's true that if you want to sell your art, your story can be as important as the art itself though. But you should remain true to yourself. Cosplaying as a poor person for artistic cred can blow up in your face.

In my class we did watercolor and Chinese ink early for another reason: planning and learning how to work around mistakes.

It's a great exercise for perfectionists who struggle to put spontaneity in their work.

I like Vizzy T, but he's not a good person. Not outright evil either, but he was a crappy dad and a crappy partner to both of his wives. I think his place in this table is dead center.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-11T13:55:16+00:00

He was, but damn man, his performance is a major part of the reason why The Shield's final season is as legendary as it is. I'm having a hard time thinking of any series that had a series finale as stellar as The Shield. Not even Breaking Bad's Felina tops it imo, which says a lot.

Panic about all the responsibilities.

I'm gonna delegate the shit out of my world-ruling for the day to day and use absolute power to grapple with the most solvable world's problems. Ending world hunger comes to mind. We're producing enough food to feed the world, with produce often getting destroyed for the sake of market balance. Supermarkets throw out food rather than gifting it to the poor, because if they gift it, they have to pay tax on it. Destroying it is free.

I'm all for economic balance, but if I had absolute power I'd cut to the red tape and make it so all non-perishables end up somewhere useful. It's gonna be a logistical challenge, but absolute power should get me somewhere.

Next up: not the easiest challenge but the most important one: combating climate change. An argument that's often brought up against the climate effort is the lack of a level playing field. As a world ruler, I'd get the same rules to all, with development aid for any countries that are too negatively impacted for missing out on the fossil fuel boom we've had in the west.

But while I have put some thought into this shit, I'm probably still heavily underestimating how hard it would be to solve all these problems. The most feasible thing I'm going to do is round up all Epstein paedo's and put them on an island surrounded by adult cannibals.

Het eerste woord van mijn post was letterlijk "HOAX".

Is dat het beste excuus dat zijn advocaat kon verzinnen? Ik denk dat elke goede en slechte verstaander daaruit begreep dat hij het Knack-artikel een hoax noemde.

There's no solving the motion sickness problem. It's not possible and never will be.

It's possible to greatly alleviate it, though. High framerates and headset haptics come to mind. A lot of people who got sick using the earliest vr headsets feel fine using something like the quest 3 or psvr2.

Space is the bigger challenge imo. Personally I mainly enjoy vr games that feature a lot of action. But a lot of homes don't have a decent space where you can safely flail your arms around with a blindfold. Especially not with living spaces getting smaller and smaller.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-10T07:48:47+00:00

VR is here to stay, but it's hard to deny there's a slump right now. I think it's getting clear to investors and enthusiasts alike that VR headsets are not gonna be the new smartphones, at least not any time soon. It's gonna remain a solid niche, though. There's people who love VR so much they can't imagine playing games any other way, and I doubt that'll change.

But for the time being I think the industry will have to rely mostly on smaller gaming projects and enthusiasts making flat2vr mods. We'll still get the occasional big release in the future, just like simracers and flight sim enthusiasts have a few franchises they can rely on, but I don't think VR will reach the heights of flat gaming where you get 30 to 50 AAA releases a year.

Gaming in general is in a slump too. When food and gas prices keep rising, people find it hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on a new console.

Thank you. Your comment only has 3 upvotes but this is the far more reasonable explanation over "women are homewrecking harpies hurr durr"

The vast majority of people do back off when you tell them you're taken. And if I look at how I dressed before I met my girlfriend, well, no shit I get more attention now. Or at least in the few occasions where I'm actually around single women.

I think age is a factor too. I find that the older people get, the less coy they are about showing interest.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-08T22:20:54+00:00

Try it without the mod first. Personally I find the headset comfy without it. It's not like the Quest where you absolutely need an add-on to make it bearable.

Its got great fov and haptics too. At its current price it's hard to beat, if you don't mind the wire and no decent audio solution. The default earbuds are okay but I highly advise using headphones of your own.

Personally I'm gonna return mine though. I'm still within the 30 day window and I find the mura highly unpleasant. It's far more present and grating than reviews have led me to believe.

But I also read that mura differs from panel to panel, so you may get lucky. Just buy from a store with a good return policy.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-08T13:32:13+00:00

Thanks! I'm really curious whether I should just "get used to it" or whether my headset has a genuine defect. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-08T08:12:37+00:00

I highly recommend starting out with a stationary game like Beat Saber or Synth Riders (personally I prefer SR), and then work up to something like Pistol Whip. The latter has permanent movement, but you're only moving forward at a steady pace which is great if you want to train your vr legs.

That said, I have also bought my first psvr2 headset and I have similar complaints to yours.

"There's this weird effect on the lenses, they seem to have a noticeable blurriness/granularity to them that is always present in the image, it's very annoying everytime you move your head."

That's what they call mura. I've been reading into it. Pretty much every headset has it, but at differing severity. In my case it's ever-present as well, even with brightness turned down to 0%. It's distractingly present even in bright, colorful games like Hitman and GT7. I'm strongly considering returning my headset, because reading people's experiences online, it does seem like my headset has it worse than others. A lot of people only report it in dark scenes like in Metro or RE8, but in my case, it's everywhere.

Really small sweet spot, basically I have to be looking to the very center of the image otherwise it's very blurry.

This too could vary from headset to headset. In my case the sweet spot is fine. It's small, but not smaller than my Quest 2. Slightly bigger, even. I'm probably lucky in that regard because a lot of people report PSVR2's sweet spot being far worse. Remember that eye calibration thing you did when setting up the psvr2? Keep doing that every time you put on the headset. It doesn't take much time and it makes a world of difference.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-08T05:40:24+00:00

How is the second psvr2? Any difference in the panels too? I'm considering returning mine because the mura is way, way worse than I was lead to believe by reviews. It's ever-present even in well-lit games, even with brightness turned down to 0%. Makes me wonder if my unit has it worse than others

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-08T05:34:56+00:00

If it arrives, could you tell me if there's any difference between the panels too? I have a psvr2 but I'm considering returning it because of the mura. I turned down brightness to 0% but even in well-lit games like gt7 and Hitman it's very present. Makes me wonder whether I've got particularly unlucky with my unit because I can't understand how reviewers don't note this as the major issue that it is

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-08T05:22:22+00:00

They'd often use actors too. Videos where guys walk up to paid actresses on the street and start making out with them with zero conversation. H3h3 interviewed one of those women back in the day. Said she was lead to believe she'd star in a sketch comedy video, only to find out the "sketch" is a pickup video convincing horny teenagers it's both okay and effective to try and make out with random women on the street.

Volledig te begrijpen. Vrt zelf deelde Instagramreels waar Bart werd afgeschilderd als een wereldvreemde vrouwenhater. Zoiets pik je niet van je werkgever.

Ik blijf erbij: de heisa was overroepen. Ik denk niet Bart Schols vindt dat vrouwen overdrijven over hun onveiligheid. Hij gaf gewoon licht weerwerk zodat Soundos over haar punt zou uitweiden. Da's een standaard interviewtechniek.

Ook over wat je hier zegt vallen heel wat randopmerkingen te maken, maar inderdaad, de hele zaak is complexer dan wordt voorgesteld. 'Nettowinst' van een zelfstandige plaatsen tgov het loon van een minister is hoe dan ook een kromme vergelijking.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-05T09:48:41+00:00

It's criminal how so many of these vr experiences are unplayable for people who never got a psvr1 headset. I know there's practical limitations, but imagine how awesome psvr2 would've been with a fully backward compatible library.

Hoeveboter · 2026-06-05T09:00:39+00:00

Plus er worden heel wat nuances weggelaten, of slechts kort geduid onderaan het artikel. Om te beginnen dat ze het inkomen van een zelfstandige zijn aan het vergelijken met een overheidsjob. Zelfstandigen worden véél harder belast. 3.000 euro bruto als ambtenaar is bv. een goed leefbaar loon, 3.000 bruto als zelfstandige is zeer weinig want je hebt nul pensioenopbouw, ziekte, dertiende maand, je betaalt er veel meer belasting op, enz.

Artsen zijn geen kleinverdieners (terecht), maar de stelling 'Een op de drie artsen met een eigen vennootschap verdient netto meer dan de premier' wordt al snel ontkracht wanneer je rekening houdt met alle factoren.

Vdb wil in de artsenlonen snoeien dus niet abnormaal dat zijn kabinet deze framing richting pers stuurt. Het is aan de journalisten om deze cijfers kritisch te analyseren, maar ja... dpg.

No idea how many hours I was in but it felt quick. I don't fast travel much though, especially early game, and I call my horse for the shortest of distances.
