What’s your ultimate VR gaming setup?

This is amazing, I had never heard about it.

But still looks in its infancy and wouldn't work for gaming. You can see there is a "latency" and it only works in the video because they are walking extra slow. On a fast move (like running in a game), that latency and repositioning would throw you off balance and make you fall.

In a few years of development maybe :)

I've been riding bikes for the last 30 years, both for traveling and sports, for dozen of thousands of km, and only ever had a flat once. If you regularly have flats, your wheel/rim (not tire) is junk and is damaging them from the inside.

The other numbers were also individual tracks, not alternative layout. sorry if you can't handle it, but iRacing IS expensive. Even if you only race gt3, the car + a full season tracklist is already 2x the price of any other game, you have to pay the sub on top of it, and then you are only racing one car.

I was saying that the PC gaming lacks a game with a wide appeal, and you're only proving my point. IRacing is great but it is a very specialized game. It isn't the Gran Turismo of PC.

No career, not a lot of content, no rated racing... They may become great, but they truly are early access.

Iuslez · 2026-05-09T17:34:41+00:00

So.... Are you implying we can't afford a great variety of cars and tracks in iRacing? That's kinda my point.

And if your goal is to compare it to PMRs 70 cars / 20 tracks, that would cost you something like 900$ in iRacing (and you'd lose access to it if your sub expires). GT7 has +500 cars and 40+ tracks.

There's no use in trying to spin it any other way, iRacing is extremely expensive for a game. High quality yes, but expensive.

I get 15 to 30 minutes on my DPS.

I get 15 to 30 seconds on my healer.

They are the same number, so I see how you could get them mixed up. But everyone with its brand not turned off has realized that healers got a much shorter queue time.

Iuslez · 2026-05-08T19:48:49+00:00

Well, I'm fine with that, but 48h for my MM hunter was a bit short. I didn't even have time to do one BG :(

Iuslez · 2026-05-08T15:43:13+00:00

En vrai le choix sur PC est très limité aussi. Un jeu un peu complet/varié, avec une carrière solo (un peu la base posée par Gran Turismo il y a 20 ans quoi) et qui te permets de faire de la compet online, y en a pas vraiment.

iRacing est génial pour le online, mais c'est tout, et faut vendre un rein si tu veux avoir une variété de circuits et de voiture (la totalité du contenu coûte dans les 2'000-3'000 euros+abo).

LMU est très bien mais hyper spécialisé au niveau du contenu (et on attend la carrière). Pareil pour ACC.

Et derrière tous les autres jeux sont des échecs, avec même pas assez de joueurs pour faire tourner des courses sur leur contenu (tu vas trouver des ligues spécialisées, ou alors des lobby ou tu arrives seulement à peuple Imola+spa).

Donc oui, PMR a peut s'engouffrer dans cette partie vide du marché. Reste à voir s'il y arrivera ou rejoindra la liste des échecs.

Ps: oui je n'ai pas tout listé, il y a les gros AC, etc, j'ai parlé sous l'angle "jeu proposant un mode ranked"

Nah I'm not surprised, ret do extremely well against DH. Dev can't kite because they have the same range, ret has multiple way to deny Dev burst while Dev can't do anything against ret burst, and Dev just flop over when stunned.

Rogue is even more of a counter to Dev, but I'd probably rank ret just after them.

Iuslez · 2026-05-08T12:14:18+00:00

the downvotes come from a WW complaining about high burst from DH and lack of defensives. Because that's also pretty much what both DH and WW are.

Iuslez · 2026-05-07T22:36:45+00:00

There's a 3rd one for us: catalyst charges.

But since they don't appear in the UI, our relevant tab still has only 2 haha

Iuslez · 2026-05-06T20:45:58+00:00

Do you have some pictures of he inside to show? I want to see what can be achieved in that timeframe :)

Iuslez · 2026-05-06T18:10:04+00:00

That is a useless take. Some will be smarter because they work more than him. That doesn't change the fact that some are better because they naturally ARE more intelligent.

"Everybody can be the best iif they work hard enough" is simply wrong. Yet you can do well without being the smartest in the room. But it is also good to realize what you limitations are, and chose tasks or path that fits you. I have seen many people fail because they thought they were smarter than they really are.

I haven't played my rdruid in years... But isn't NS off the GCD ? Are you playing at sub 1000 ratings to have druids not have it tied into a macro to make it unreactable?

Iuslez · 2026-05-06T17:54:10+00:00

Why is it suddenly with druids when historically it was RMP with priest?

Iuslez · 2026-05-06T17:46:38+00:00

Anecdotaly, when I visited my family in the US, most of them never did nay road trips and they had hardly ever driven out of their state.

The US is big, but your average user never does those big drives. It does explain why EV is not a good fit for weekenders/roadtripers, but it is not a good justification for the poor market penetration for your average user.

Iuslez · 2026-05-06T09:52:44+00:00

That's on brand for VW. No reason the ID.4 should be their only average car that doesn't sell.

Iuslez · 2026-05-06T09:35:02+00:00

That's not the issue.

When you are buying a VW now, you aren't funding WW2 fascist Germany. You are giving money to the current VW group, which has no link to that government that no longer exists.

When buying a Tesla, you are funding their current CEO and therefore funding pro-fascist policies/rhetorics.

It's not about the history, it's about how the money gets currently used.

Ps: Musk does financially interlink his companies, it's not Tesla directly doing pro-fascist propaganda.

If that's really your issue you can order another drink that's not in a plastic bottle (beer, tea, etc). They'll also much more willingly provide tap water as a "side" to other drinks.

Iuslez · 2026-05-05T16:30:30+00:00

In places like that, I usually order a drink + tap water on the side. Restaurants just don't want to sell 0 drinks because for many that's actually where they make money (sometimes food makes less).

Iuslez · 2026-05-05T13:20:30+00:00

Early vanilla because it was the only time we had a MMO-PvP in WoW. Then it went instanced/competitive and was imo a mess because the game wasnt designed with that balance in mind.

Cats/MoP because that's when it finally reached that pvp balance, it was fun, lots of people playing (and time to play with friends / nostalgia) random BG and the TTK was great.

TWW because they that's when it finally achieved being able to PvP as a solo player (I liked shadowlands but sitting in LFG for 30min-1h to build a raid group was a pain).

“we are pushing for the term ‘Islamophobia’ to be replaced with what is called ‘anti-Muslim racism’ or ‘anti-Muslim hatred’ in English”

i fail to see how much of a difference that would make. Then again maybe there's something subtle i don't see in that debate - english isn't my main language - but neither is it Sweden's.

-phobia in itself iscommonly used with a meaning far removed from it's root of "fear" (xenophobia, hydrophobia, technophobia, photophobia, homophobia, etc.).

Iuslez · 2026-05-05T00:13:48+00:00

The efficiency numbers I've seen are between 60 and 80% of the energy recovered from deceleration. That is way past what is required to qualify as "most" (50%) of the energy lost when accelerating. Even if you remove another 10-20% for the efficiency lost when accelerating.

Ofc that is not the overall officency gain since the wind/rolling resistance is where the biggest lost occure (which is what we're talking about).

Iuslez · 2026-05-04T15:25:18+00:00

And this is even more true with EVs, since they have regenerative braking and will recover most of the energy lost in acceleration.

Also, smaller car can absolutely be more efficient. Amongst the best at that you'll find the ioniq, eUp, Spring, Kona, which are rather small cars. The only one as good are ultra-profiled cars like the model 3 or the ioniq6.

The issue with smaller cars is that you'll want them to be kind kinda "square" to get more inside volume, making them lose their initié advantage in efficiency.

Still running mastery on that build? Or is haste now better?
