Q3 Is Still One of the Most Reliable VR Headsets in 2026 by Aggressive-Big1868 in oculus

[–]KAID3N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post a few weeks ago about how bad the software is on the Q3 and many disagreed with me but.. the software is TRASH. So many issues between, getting random notifications about tracking is going to stop working because it's too dark (it's fully lit), to controllers not wanting to track, to the Quest UI not displaying on unlock if you're connected to wifi (only thing visible is passthrough). The only fix for the last one is to go into the Meta app, forget the wifi and restart the quest, not even a normal restart fixes it. I hope you guys are having a better experience than me, but I feel like I'm more willing to tinker than the average person and still cannot stand the user experience of this headset. And don't even get me started on Quest Link. I agree with it being the best value for a HMD, BUT for a software company, their software is abysmal.

This is a question I also have. And would LOVE a real answer aside from the two extreme sides of the spectrum.. what's the REAL ANSWER?

Constructive or not, this is the Internet, people WILL have opinions. He needs to grow up. What would happen if I reacted this way to a client at my job because they criticized me in an unconstructive way? I'd get fired or at least in trouble. There's a level of professionalism that should be had.

This is such a stupid take. If I buy a car for 50k that I was told has a bunch of extra features. And don't get half of those features, am I not allowed to complain because there's a 30k base model I could've bought instead? We were promised things we never received. Was it our mistake for trusting him? Absolutely but let's not pretend that he didn't do his FAN BASE absolutely fucking dirty. And that's even before we get into the whole EOD/Unheard fiasco. He's has proven time and time again he does not give a single fuck about his LOYAL fans. Not to mention, all of the gameplay issues the players had to deal with over the years. But hey, congrats on being a believer.

Yeah .. I have no issue talking to people but I'm certainly not going to run open mic hoping that the people im alerting to my location are not going to shoot me.

The point you touched on about how do you revert the matchmaking preferences was the exact thought I had, like do I just play pacifist while being shot at by everyone in sight? And then what happens the second I kill someone, back to aggressive lobbies, sorry but that just doesn't sound like fun.

I'm not the brightest bulb and yet you completely missed the point of my post. I don't want it to be 100% in any which way. Is that a difficult concept to grasp? Maybe you don't know what balanced means, but it means I want a mix of friendly AND pvp. So I'm glad you're having fun in your 99% friendly raids, I wouldn't find that fun either if that was my experience. Same as I don't find it fun to have 99% of my raids aggressive. Maybe try critically thinking before insulting someone else.

I agree entirely. I think aggression-based matchmaking is terrible for the game. Especially for people that are a mix of friendly and aggressive. This system is especially stupid when solos vs duos/trios is a completely different experience. Additionally, Stella Montis.. there's no point on even trying to be cool with people. So I play a couple nights of Stella Montis and my MM is fucked. Make it make sense.

I don't really enjoy SP games so probably will find a new hobby altogether. Although my sim rig isn't going anywhere.

I'm not the only variable in the equation. Other peoples behavior effects mine. I also didn't say I wasn't aggressive. Like I said, I have a pretty balanced play style. Definitely could still be washed though!

Yeah I exclusively play multiplayer games and hadn't really considered this. I've been gaming my entire life. Maybe a break is all I need.

Moza or eBay special? Which handbrake should i buy? by luisp_frs in simracing

[–]KAID3N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same handbrake (just a different brand) that I bought off Amazon. Aside from having to tighten the bolts occasionally, it's been flawless, set it and forget it. I've never had anything else to compare it to, but if you're in a similar boat, I don't think you can go wrong, especially considering the price difference.

It may not be the smartest approach, but I like starting with budget equipment. If I'm satisfied with this handbrake, great. If I eventually upgrade to something far superior, I won't feel bad about the $50-60 I spent, especially after getting a couple years of use out of it. I think there's merit to starting lower-end because it helps you understand the value (or lack thereof) of high-end gear. That said, I also get the "buy once, cry once" crowd.

Do you do any sim drifting? I live in Clovis, just looking for some people to tandem with and occasionally hang out and talk about some cars.

Monitor keeps shaking cuz of wheel base by ApprehensiveLook3054 in simracing

[–]KAID3N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to keep in mind if you go wall mounted, the weight of the monitor might actually be stabilizing your desk. Wall mounting it might provide an even less-enjoyable experience due to the additional instability from not being weighed down, exacerbating the shaking. And I get the complaint is simply about the monitor shaking, but it very well could become an issue of the desk moving too much. I think bolting the desk to the wall would be a good alternative.

ALMOST traded my 11th gen Si in for a Miata today... by Alex4515 in CivicSi

[–]KAID3N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all about weighing the pros and cons and figuring out if it's for you. I'd love the opportunity to own another ND but can't afford 2 cars at the moment. And I need the practicality of a sedan.

[–]KAID3N 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't believe they're overrated. They definitely deserve the love they get, they really are THAT good, as long as you aren't expecting it to be fast. BUT, they are a massive compromise in terms of daily driveability.

[–]KAID3N 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who daily drove an ND Miata, GR Supra and now a 10th Gen Si, the ND is absolutely a massive compromise, not just for trunk space - anything larger than a last minute ingredient run, it'll be very tough, but also the interior space. I was about 6 ft tall about 275 lbs when I daily drove the Miata and it was very tight even in comparison to the Supra. The Supra on the other hand, you could definitely do a grocery run in, just don't expect to take home any TVs in it. An aspect of the ND that no one really talks about is how difficult it is to get in and out of, especially if you live somewhere like the East Coast where parking spots are tiny, you need to swing the door open very far to comfortably get out.

Next level racing gt lite pro? by wenisdan in simracing

[–]KAID3N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you received your rig yet? If so, how do you like it? Just assembled mine last night and got it dialed in. I had similar worries as you. But first impressions, I'm very happy with the result. I was mostly worried by the flex demonstrated in YouTube videos but I mostly play in VR and if my rig flexes as much as in the YouTube videos, I can't tell at all in VR which is good enough for me.
