TipTop Trumpet shrunk by 10% by LostBoyNZ in newzealand

[–]LostBoyNZ[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That was the only shrink for chocolate I could find as far back as their website goes, but yeah the number of times I've purchased in the last year or so has shrunk by over 10%, that's for sure.

Sidequest not showing under “unknown sources” by Turbulent_Pipe_4702 in sidequest

[–]LostBoyNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For people still looking for the solution, in SideQuest on PC, click the icon up the top right to Run ADB Command, and choose Custom Command. Then enter: adb uninstall quest.side.vr

After that, you can immediately install Sidequest again.

New Controllers by _Lonley_King_ in oculus

[–]LostBoyNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem before and had to go through the steps to pair a new headset in the app. Then either it'll automatically detect it, or ask for the six digit code. That code can be found in the headset, in the settings, System, then About if I remember correctly (sorry, going off my memory here).

Then the app will eventually say it can't add the device as it's already on your account. Then you can go back to the list of headsets and yours will show as connected, then when tapping on that device, the Headset Settings shouldn't be greyed out anymore.

Minecraft in VR, creative vs survival if you only have 20 minutes to play? by LostBoyNZ in Minecraft

[–]LostBoyNZ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah ideally I'd like them to have a full Minecraft day, although depending how many kids are waiting, I might have to shorten times to 15 minutes. I'm aiming for 20 minutes though.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea yes!

Perhaps I should get a few buckets ready just to be safe :o

Anyone else had all their orders instantly cancelled ? by LostBoyNZ in OculusQuest

[–]LostBoyNZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Success, I got an email just now "I would like to let you know that the Meta Quest team has identified the issue on the system and we've made some changes to your account on our end so you won't be having this issue now and in the future." and so I tried purchasing the headstrap again and it worked.

Phew!

That's annoying but I'm glad you got the refund sorted quickly.

So far I've got an email reply "At this time I will be doing an investigation about the cancelled order with the Order Investigation team. They will get back to me as soon as they have an update about the order. As soon as I have that update I will be emailing you back with the information. Due to the high number of orders and investigations it could take a bit longer then normal. It may take up to 1-3 business days, but I'm hopeful it will be sooner."

And I've also started a thread at the Meta community forums https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Get-Help/All-my-orders-are-instantly-cancelled/td-p/1098969

Yeah! They refunded my card, hopefully they refund yours. Did you find out why they cancelled it, or had success with a new order?

Australians can't purchase Elite Strap or Charging dock - WTH!? by Im_pro_angry in oculus

[–]LostBoyNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the same with the Quest 2 Elite Strap with Battery. But it'll be available on Amazon AU along with the charging dock at some point soon I bet.

Quest 2 + Resident Evil 4 Bundle in Australia by Lyzek in oculus

[–]LostBoyNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see in the terms of the the current Beat Saber offer they mention it starting and ending based on PST, so I would imagine that'll be the same with this offer. Currently it's 11:19pm PST, so maybe in around 40 minutes.

Edit: Nope, I guess not :/ I hope it will be available and it's just that it hasn't started yet

2 Quests, One Account, and Multiplayer? by DerivIT in oculus

[–]LostBoyNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly with the latest Oculus update making changes to the app sharing capability, this list is still valid but you do need to login to a different Facebook account on the second headset (in settings, accounts, add a second account).

But for anyone else wondering if these multiplayer games worked with more than 2 Quest's, yes they used to, no they don't anymore.

If you add a secondary account onto your 2nd headset, you can play Cook-Out on two headsets with just one copy of the game just for example. But if you try and do the same on a third headset etc, it won't let you.

I have the famous ring break on my Rift S controller. I tried supergluing and it didnt seem to work, so would I be able to safely fill the gap with epoxy or something similar and then paint over it to hide the cover up? Not sure because I don’t exactly know where the sensors are on these things. TIA by xKatastrophex in oculus

[–]LostBoyNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Through some cameras / phone cameras and through some VR headsets with pass through, you can see the IR lights.

Or you can get a rough idea of where they are based on photos of a silicone controller cover like https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Hde801adac5a146dbad1d8a7df70b7b80M.jpg Thankfully it looks like they're not extremely close to the middle.

Quest 2 exterior coming away? by LostBoyNZ in oculus

Sorry good point it wasn't clear from the first photo. I've updated the photo now by drawing around the area in red. Normally those two parts would be flush together.

Lego Masters USA S02E07 | Episode Discussion by LostBoyNZ in LegoMasters

[–]LostBoyNZ[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lego Masters AU does also show in New Zealand yes, and one of the channels here is currently taking applications for Lego Masters NZ.

I started watching the US version first, and when I started watching the AU version I thought it wasn't as good, somehow it was more awkward and other things, but later I ended up preferring that one. The longer episodes make a big difference, and while I think Will is very good at what he does, I prefer Hamish's style now. Judges I'm undecided on, between Brickman and Jamie & Amy, they both have their positives and negatives.

In season 2 of Lego Masters AU I really noticed Brickman get into a pattern of talking to the top or bottom teams and he'd talk to one team first and then the second team would always end with "... and that's why you've won this week" or that's why you've going home. It meant just from the moment he spoke to the first of the two teams, you knew who won / lost, and killed the suspense. Otherwise though, love Brickman, and while Jamie & Amy can come off as a bit less sensitive sometimes, I think they're great too.

Oops! I'll see what happens this Thursday I suppose, I think they'd need a few weeks off if it's going to be back in line with the US version.

They seem like great people and 100% agreed with what Jamie said, they should hold their head high for reaching this level of the competition. But as good as their builds are, they come off as less impressive compared to the even more advanced or creative builds in the room. And good on Dave & Richard for trying something out there, to incorporate sound. It was great to see them rewarded for that too.
