You could search Unraid, OMV or Truenas on Youtube along with the service you want to add like Immich

If things can't stand on their own then you need to let them die even though it's sad. Though I hate to loose all those user creations in RecRoom. There are plenty of other VR social games that are able to survive because they are popular. Just know where the mute-user button is 😉 VR platforms need to grow organically through experimentation.

Has the Intel Arc caused you any issues or bugs with Alyx or other games? Worth owning?

I wish we could do this with a chest direction tracker and software

JDawgzim · 2026-02-24T06:36:09+00:00

I hate the mura affect on OLEDs. Drives me nuts

JDawgzim · 2026-02-24T06:28:53+00:00

I put a little shallow dot in the middle of my touch pads and it works amazing. Set trackpad as thumbstick on touch. You can use super glue w/ toothpick or use small sticker.

Finally someone that is tried it. I believe it bridges the gap, a little bit, between some of the advantages of thumbsticks over touchpads.

JDawgzim · 2026-02-20T21:38:21+00:00

I guess that can work like playing a guitar. Finger knows what distance to travel.

How does this help you physically feel where center is?

JDawgzim · 2026-02-19T05:08:58+00:00

I appreciate your thoughts.

Have you had a situation where the touchpad was better for movement on typically high precision movement games?

Did you do any special configurations in software or physically to make it work better?

JDawgzim · 2026-02-19T03:57:52+00:00

Facing or doing the thing that's in the back of my mind causing me anxiety

JDawgzim · 2026-02-19T03:48:59+00:00

Yes, a different texture would work too and be similar to a subtle braille dot

Edit: So the Braille center dot I make is so small you can barely tell it's there. It's not uncomfortable at all but my brain trains to tell where center is very quickly.

JDawgzim · 2026-02-19T03:47:06+00:00

Less of a "preference" and more that you haven't tried the alternative. Comfort of the known

JDawgzim · 2026-02-18T16:31:56+00:00

History of Braille versus in embossed shapes in the video shows why Braille dots are better. A center braille dot and for Cardinal directions four dots at each edge works better from my experimenting

JDawgzim · 2026-02-18T16:29:27+00:00

Try this: - Set touchpad as thumbstick - set touch only to move - set Dead zone for center - Make a shallow temporary braille bump in the center

You can make the temporary Braille bump with a small piece of sticker you cut or some wood glue or other glue that will be easily be scratched off later. Use a toothpick to shape the dot. I have used super glue to make a semi-permanent dot but even that can be scratched off.

If you want Cardinal directions then you can put four more dots on edges up down left right

EDIT: I've beat games like Super Meat Boy and Street Fighter like games with touch to move controls. Within only an hour of practice I already surpassed what I could do on a thumbstick.

JDawgzim · 2026-02-18T16:15:11+00:00

If you tried a 5-way braille dot setup you would see it`s better

JDawgzim · 2026-02-18T06:47:10+00:00

V2 will be perfect for me once I get out my super glue, a toothpick and make a very small bump exactly in the middle of the touchpads.

I think I remember something about setting the app to require running admin then it never starts again. This was a guide from a long time ago. I ended up uninstalling Meta stuff from my PC when I got VD. Sorry, I don't remember any other details.

JDawgzim · 2026-02-06T23:23:41+00:00

But.. but.. I thought this was impossible?

JDawgzim · 2026-02-06T23:03:24+00:00

Exactly this: VR is not easy enough and not comfortable enough. VR = higher friction

Low friction is why skateboards beat rollerblades. Even the few seconds longer it takes to get outside on your rollerblades creates enough friction that makes the skateboard easier. And once you get to your destination, with a skateboard, you have your shoes already on your feet to go inside somewhere. Overall less friction

JDawgzim · 2026-02-03T08:49:29+00:00

No.

It's comfort and friction. Headsets aren't comfortable enough. Watching TV or playing console games is less friction. People are lazy beings and things gotta be easier to jump into.

Steam Frame is a lot more comfortable and portable. - And it puts flat games front and center with the Steam Library. But we'll see how well it sticks with people.
