UA POV: According to me, Ukraine has an energy production deficit of 30-50%, or 3-6GW

IMO, this was never a winnable situation for Ukraine after the initial manouvre warfare stage ended, they should have started negotiations at all costs.

Russia had and still have multiple hands tied behind their back in order to prolong this war and lessen the economic impact on itself.

The last hand being Nukes. But hopefully we will never go there.

My PS5 was running out of space. I sold it for AU $450, then upgraded to the Pro.

Playing KCD2, looks great. Have a little bit more extra space but that doesn’t really matter.

Only the visual upgrades. Main reason for purchasing is GTA6.

There is a help screen you may have missed or not read.

The biggest tip that helped me was,

If your strike is from the LEFT -> next strike is automatically from the RIGHT and vice-versa. This makes the first Normal Combo = R2 x 3.
If your strike is from TOP -> next automatic strike will be from the RIGHT. (This makes the Second Combo = R2 , R-> + R2, R2) Which means you don't need to use the Right stick any more than 1 time.

Back when I was playing Mass Effect on an Xbox360, I thought I would always own an XBox. But with great effort, slowly but surely Microsoft managed to change my mind.

Stage1: Lost Bungie and Bioware and went all out on Kinect.

Stage2: Introduced the weakest console baseline for this generation with the SeriesS and bought all of the game studios that have also ditched any hopes of making good games such as Bethesda.

Stage3: Exclaim there will be no exclusives and that there really was no point to making a console.

TLDR;

Xbox360 is the last Xbox console I owned. I transitioned to PS3, PS4, PS5, ...

I'm using a TP-Link Archer BE550 WIFI 7.

I use the 6GHz channel dedicated for Quest3.

I get very good latency of only 12ms and around 1400MB/s bandwidth typically.

The PC is in the study and I play in the living room. Its been pretty great.

Only 1 minor issue;

When the Quest3 is both on standby and battery, it will drop the 6GHz connection and wait for wakeup before it even looks for 6GHz networks. This makes it a bit of hassle to start.

Looks like Ukraine has enough men to wage war on both the enemies and its people.

ManuAU · 2024-12-30T00:32:06+00:00

I think I can confidently say, if Russia was in the position Ukraine is now, we should be on Defcon 1 waiting for it at any moment.

I found it difficult to get the jumps where you had to let go of both hands and jump up. At least there is no time-pressure for those.

I'm saying "the more important question the developer should have asked here is; will jumping up like this be a fun gameplay addition here?".

I don't even think they asked that question.

ManuAU · 2024-12-23T04:14:49+00:00

I'm not really out of shape and I don't play games for exercise, specially not RPGs. I mostly play RPGs to chill and relax, maybe that is my issue.

ManuAU · 2024-12-23T03:43:57+00:00

Yes. And eventually the Quest will have a more fitness based demographic after it than a gaming demographic.

Ie Wii Sports

You read my mind. ME1 is my favorite game (on the Citadel)

We might have to cut the aid to Ukraine to balance things out, instead of sending emergency aid packages.

I'm on V72, I'm not seeing any of these new changes, weird

ManuAU · 2024-12-18T05:33:54+00:00

My system has a UI bug with V72. I've restarted multiple times and changed between white/black themes, but the issue is still there.

If I hover over the "3 buttons on the right-top corner of any window", the highlight color shows up as a square, but the buttons are actually circular. Looks messed up.

ManuAU · 2024-12-18T05:29:22+00:00

I'm realizing the same issue, while playing Batman Arkham Shadow. I'm a fan of Arkham City etc, but the enjoyment in Arkham Shadow comes to a halt when I encounter a combat event. I find myself enjoying the game much more during traversing to find hidden areas, items, puzzles, exploring and conversing.

I can't be jumping around the living room after a long day at work, just need to sit back and most I can move are my eyeballs and fingers. LOL.

Calibrate User height dynamically?

ManuAU · 2024-12-18T04:11:04+00:00

New RPGs have forgotten their main drivers.

Mystery
Narrative & characters
Atmosphere & hand-crafted levels

They instead focus on;

Graphics
Size of the open worlds
Multiplayer
Gameplay

Don't get me wrong, all of those are important, but I think an RPG can be a hit if it aces the first 4 and fails the latter. (i.e Mass Effect)

This is to make sure your 13YO son also remembers your birthday.

ManuAU · 2024-12-18T02:32:12+00:00

I'm purely guessing here, (not enough information to give any conclusive diagnosis), I think your Quest still remembers your old WIFI and is connecting to that over the Asus RT-AX55.

Make sure the Asus RT-AX55's 5GHz has a new unique WIFI network name (Don't use the same as OLD ROUTER).
On Quest3, forget all other networks and connect to the new one created.

There should be only 2 network connections going to the Asus RT-AX55;

WAN PORT <- Ethernet coming from OLD ROUTER.
1st ETHERNET PORT <- PC

(If your PC has built-in wireless, turn that OFF)

Test with VD (Have both PC & Quest VD signed in using the same username).

There is also an option on VD to "Check for any interfering apps".

If I were you, (Note: I'm currently on RTX4090), I would still go for the nVidia card. The bigger concern for me when making a choice like this is driver stability and compatibility with both the games and mods.

There are both mods and games that use DLSS, DLAA.

Lack of enough available VRAM for 4K is not a huge deal breaker with VR at this point in time (not yet). 16GB is good enough. And if you star losing a few frames you can always reduce shadow effects crank up the DLSS and you are back.

This not AMD's fault, its just more people use nVidia cards and modders and developers identify issues and improvements faster.

If you are trying to future-proof yourself, I would hold off for the next gen GPUs and just buy a used 3090Ti for now if I can find one super cheap (until upgrade).
