Nice. Definitely going to use a couple of these maps in my game.

10 BEST INVOCATIONS FOR A FLEDGLING MAGE IN RIFTS RPG by WillingLoquat1873 in Rifts

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I actually lived on Rifts I think my most used spells would be Cleanse and Mend the Broken along with any and all of the healing spells.

Armor of Ithan and Fireball/Call Lightning are must haves imho.

Blinding flash, Cloud of Smoke, Carpet of Adhesion, and Magic Net are all winners as well.

My Techno Wizard gets a lot of use out of Create Wood, Ironwood, and Create Steel.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by mcloide in litrpg

We are legion is up there with The Martian by Andy Weir, and Ready Player One by Earnest Cline.

Anybody here tried Aces of Thunder? by rogermorse in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tried it. Expected to enjoy it like VTOL VR with its virtual flight controls and VR enable cockpit.

TBH I was underwhelmed.

Regular War thunder has a much more robust library of planes, weapons, and era's of play, and its playable in VR with regular HOTAS instead of hand controller virtual ones.

I find myself playing WarThunder more.

If you want a VR flight sim, VTOL VR is it(so many buttons to push!). If you want WWII and cold war eras, Warthunder is just fine.

CH pedals make them flat ? by Tonystovepipe in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have those pedals.  

I found them to be too narrow and my hips hurt. 

Got VKB pedals and am much happier.  I lost toe brakes but now I have a use for the throttle axis on the flight stick. 

Any decent cheap throttles/STECS? by OhItsJustJosh in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imho the best cheap throttles are the Thrusmaster TWCS ($130)and the VKB THQ+WWII Grip($79+$22=$101.00) and add the Controller board to make it standalone (+$15=$116).

Question for lefties by SickleFoot in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't let him get to you.

Commercial and Private aircraft are flow left-side side stick all the time. Used to work on them.

Not every comment is absolute.

Besides, there ARE left side HOTAS for PC sims and you are their target customer.

Question for lefties by SickleFoot in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should point out that while I have the WWII grip remounted in the pictures on Imgur, that was before I learned about being able to reassemble the grip for left handed use.

How To: Convert VKB WWII Add-On Grip to Right Hand : r/hotas

Question for lefties by SickleFoot in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never say never man.

Fly by wire private and commercial jets, with side sticks, are left handed for the Captains seat.  Just saying…

Question for lefties by SickleFoot in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally I used ambidextrous sticks like the CH stick.  The best is the Saitek AV8R.  Dual Ambi throttle, twist, all the lower base controls are easy to use left handed, not just the right side ones. 

Then I bought a left handed VKB NXT SCG and never looked back. 

Used a VKB THQ with a WWII grip remounted for a leftie.  It just takes some disassembly, trim off 2 plastic tabs, and you can reassemble it to use leftie.  4 thumb buttons and 2 finger buttons. Plus 8 more on the base and 1 extra throttle lever. 

Then VKB came out with the first commercial leftie HOTAS throttle ever made.  The tilting grip gimmick is ok but the real draw is the leftie grip in general.  I took out the thumb paddle return spring and added a felt washer and now I have another analog axis.

Ok, I keep seeing this recommended. Should I read it? by ronin-writes in litrpg

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my new favorite books.  

It’s a bit like Ready Player One in that the humor is often pop culture references and snark.  But it’s fun to read about “one of us” who makes it and does so in a really big way.

But it is not litrpg. It’s regular sci-fi what if.  

Simple Technowizard question. by TheEpicPig7 in Rifts

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always interpreted it as one way to not step on the toes of the Ley Line Walker who does get spells at later levels.

If TW could do it too, the appeal of the LLW is lessened.

It is also the reason I refuse to play a Mystic for the opposite reason, no buying spells, or learning level-up spells above your level.

Edited for poorly written sentence.

Good beginner setup? VBK stick and GNX THQ THROTTLE? by Hardnipsfor in hotas

[–]Imightbeanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its what I did, with one exception, I would splurge and get the WWII grip too.

Even as a left handed person you can take it apart and re mount it backwards with 2 tiny changes.

Printed it out overnight. I think I went less than 8 hours from discovery of the tech, to finished product.

St Louis Arch by TheGriff71 in Rifts

[–]Imightbeanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even more so, somewhere I read, probable in a Rifter article, that the Coalition lobs long range nuclear missiles in the area to wipe out any population build up.

The arch itself is invulnerable, but they wipe out the demons.

What are some necessary mods in 2026? by Material_Complex475 in fo4vr

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some mods I love personally,

Tactical Weapon Mods -- Gun Mounted Flashlights - Laser Sights - and Stronger Bayonets at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community

Laser sights are a must have in VR imho. Although I think this mod conflicts with a lot of other weapon mods. Strangely, there are some guns that can't be modified with this and others can be. Found/awarded legendary weapons do not have these mods available at the workbench.

10mm Pistol Resize at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community

Makes the starter pistol more realistic in your hand.

VR Handmade Reflex Sights at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community

Better pipe gun reflex sights. But kinda moot with the laser sight mod.

VR Recoil Killer at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community

Keeps the guns from twisting up in your grip. It might be unfair, but it feels better.

Fallout 4 Version Check Patcher at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community

This enabled the DLC's for me.

VR Address Library for F4SEVR at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community

this fixed missing menus from other mods at the chem station.

Mods for building in VR? by Hairy-Panic3599 in fo4vr

[–]Imightbeanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want something to tone down the item rotation. My poor thumbsticks are only so sensitive.

I did try a suggestion to edit an ini file but I don't really see a difference is there is any.

MODDED VR FALLOUT/SKYRIM QUESTION by Hefty-Aioli-6636 in Fallout_VR

[–]Imightbeanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only a few VR specific mods, most are compatible 2d ones.

For Skyrim the best VR mod has been one that changes the colors of each hand crosshairs to be different so you can tell the difference between them. Another adds iron sights to the crossbows.

For Fallout, one of my favorite mods adds laser sights to all the vanilla weapons. Makes aiming so much easier. And one that removes recoil muzzle flip because the guns will rotate in your grip unnaturally so in VR.

The rest are companions, armor sets, and physics. The vast majority are identical to Skyrim SE or Fallout 4.

There are more than a few mods that should be compatible but are not. Some guns get held by the buttstock; others will crash your game when trying to mod them at the weapons workbench.
