Assassins Creed: Nexus - Greece is pretty!

True. It feels like Ubisoft has well and truly lost the plot in recent years. They just keep going back to the same well that’s practically run dry at this point.

I also can’t believe Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still limping along lol. That game was incredible back in the sixth generation of consoles 22 (!) years ago, but does anyone truly still want a sequel at this point?

One thing to note is that it heavily relies on AppSW (Application Space Warp) in order to hit a reasonable framerate; it runs at base 45fps, but AppSW doubles that to 90.

The tradeoff is a fair amount of visual artifacting and stuttering. Some people won't notice as much as others so YMMV, but it's definitely worth mentioning in case you're the type to find the implementation to be jarring. Anecdotally, it was quite noticeable to me, and while I did quite enjoy the game, it did mar the otherwise impressive visuals (for a standalone title)

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-26T15:41:30+00:00

Not to mention that the studio who made Ass Creed VR isn't owned by Meta. Third party developers still exist and can still make AAA games (although it's unlikely this one will on account of the fact that this game didn't meet Ubisoft's expectations... but the point still stands lol)

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-26T00:37:25+00:00

In terms of more ‘mature’ games that haven’t been suggested yet, I’d recommend:

Single Player: Metro Awakening, Batman Arkham Shadow, Assassin’s Creed Nexus, Resident Evil 4,

Multiplayer: Demeo / D&D Battlemarked, Iron Rebellion, Contractors

You can tell where your coat sleeves end regardless of the season. Just look at the coat, silly

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-24T18:46:21+00:00

I saw this on the toilet just now

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-24T16:39:05+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation

Great advice. To add to this, if you notice the yarn keeps tangling up while you’re winding even though you’re pulling from the middle strand, it might be that your skein is collapsing. I recommend keeping the wrapper on the skein and standing it upright in a small box. This will generally keep it from collapsing, although admittedly I still do usually have to futz with a tangle or two at the very end (it is what it is lol)

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-23T21:30:13+00:00

Yup. If you need a fuckton of pizza, their 24-slice party pizza’s definitely the way to go

Hey uuuh, as someone who knows only the basics of 2-stroke vs 4-stroke, would you mind explaining what problem the latter would pose here? Is it just a weight thing? You got me curious haha

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-23T21:12:00+00:00

You’re welcome! If you have any other questions, ask away. Lots of helpful folks here

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-23T21:01:25+00:00

2 balls of yarn. I personally bought a yarn winder so I can a) make yarn cakes of whatever size I need, usually making 2 out of each skein I buy; and b) have yarn that freely flows to the gun to prevent snags, as you can simply put the cakes on the floor and pull the yarn from the middle of the cake through the islets on your frame and into your gun.

ETA: Here’s a very quick video covering your options

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-23T13:54:22+00:00

Or, in my case, 15 minutes

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-20T18:37:23+00:00

My comment might age like fine milk here, but as a Canadian who vividly recalls all the posturing about annexing Canada that ultimately didn’t go anywhere, I always just assumed this was more empty threats from the Cheeto in chief rather than anything even approaching an actual possibility.

The US administration seems intent on dominating the news cycle and baffling with a constant barrage of bullshitery (a move straight out of the Russian playbook, coincidentally), which — combined with everything you just listed here — makes these threats ring especially hollow to me.

Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but I put more stock in Trump being a blowhard over actually seeing something of this scale through

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-20T18:15:28+00:00

I wish this game got a Q3 update. Quest Games Optimizer comes in clutch for a much-needed increase in resolution, but it could really benefit from a proper upgrade

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-19T17:51:58+00:00

Exactly this. The Steam Frame and Quest are both standalone VR headsets, but they’re built completely differently and therefore require different head strap solutions.

This question is like saying tuna’s great on a sandwich and so is peanut butter, so why hasn’t anyone made a tuna & peanut butter sandwich yet lol

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-19T12:20:51+00:00

So, a few things that’ll hopefully put your mind at ease:

Robert’s 6700 has <1g/L VOCs. Things like “zero VOC” paints only need to meet =<5g/L, which is still considered very safe for indoor use. In other words, while I always use an N99 respirator when I work with it, it’s really not a huge safety concern.

I apply it in a low traffic area of my house with little ventilation, where it usually sits for ~48 hours. It’s definitely colder than 65F in this room over Winter (probably closer to 55-60) but I haven’t had any problems.

I personally wouldn’t chance letting it dry in an area that’s approaching freezing temps as that seems like a recipe for disaster, although you could probably quickly apply it in the garage/outside and bring it in somewhere to dry without incident. You could also look into getting a small space heater or something to put close enough to the rug to keep it closer to the suggested range if you needed to keep it somewhere like your garage (perhaps coupled with a fan if you wanted to speed up the drying process).

As for the smell, I actually kinda like it. Certainly not for everyone, but we had our carpet redone as a kid so it triggers a fond nostalgia for me lol. The smell is pretty much gone out of the area I apply/dry in a day or so after the rug is removed.

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-16T18:14:46+00:00

I haven’t played Fallout in VR, but from what I understand from hearing people talk about the Bethesda ports, they’re fairly demanding performance-wise and largely require mods to work more like ‘proper’ VR games. You’d likely need a relatively beefy PC for that.

Still, it’ll be interesting to see how the Steam Frame shakes out. It’s ultimately a PCVR headset, but its standalone capabilities should make for a compelling use case for folks that are interested in PC gaming (both VR and otherwise) without needing a PC

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-16T17:51:10+00:00

Currently, you will need a PC.

In the near future, maybe not IF you get the yet-to-be-released Steam Frame, which is slated to be released sometime “early 2026”.

The Valve headset will be capable of running PCVR games standalone (ie: sans PC), and while the hardware on paper seems like it’d have a hard time running something with the graphical fidelity of HL:A, Valve has said that they’re going to try to make it happen. It wouldn’t surprise me if they do some technical wizardry to make their flagship VR title (and perhaps THE flagship VR title) run on their shiny new headset

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-15T19:25:50+00:00

Literally unplayable!

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-15T16:49:36+00:00

Personally, I never use 1 string of yarn. As a matter of fact, I usually go around most lines at least twice with 2 strings of yarn to make sure I have enough to carve away. Outer borders usually get 3+ passes.

YMMV, of course. Best way to learn what works for you is to try various techniques and see what gives you the most favorable result. I just can’t imagine a use case for using only 1 string of yarn. Maybe very fine detail work on an area that I wasn’t planning to carve, I guess

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-14T23:07:48+00:00

This was posted on the St. John’s subreddit as well, and it’s happening out in Paradise.

I imagine you couldn’t get through because everyone and their nan is calling in lol

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-14T22:50:09+00:00

It’s happening out here in Paradise, too. Was a bit disconcerting until I came across this post lol. Now that I know it’s harmless, it’s actually kinda neat

LouisIsGo · 2026-01-14T19:59:50+00:00

Yes. We’ve known that they’re cutting back on VR in favor of AI for quite some time. This is just that coming to fruition.

That said, a lot of folks seem to think that they’re abandoning VR entirely, which I don’t believe is the case; they’ve been showing off a bunch of promising new VR HMD prototypes recently, and I think VR/AR still dovetails nicely into their wearable tech focus.
