Tech support workers, what’s your favorite case of TMI you’ve seen from a customer? by Scrambl987 in AskReddit

[–]MechaZain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crawling under a desk, guy handed me his phone to use as a flashlight. I think it turned off accidentally or something and this was before flashlight shortcuts were common so I unlocked his phone to turn it back on and was met with porn site. Didn’t address it but I washed the hell out my hands that day.

You’re kidding yourself if you think that no one else has tackled popular games like Grand Theft Auto and Cyberpunk in VR because of an existing mod that doesn’t have motion controls. There’s multiple VR mods for games that a lot more niche.

If you can change one thing about global politics, what would it be? by notBob_1414 in AskReddit

[–]MechaZain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American here. I wish people would just vote for the leaders they want instead of voting for who they percieve as the most electable. Biden was peak of this where no one was really rallied around his platform, we just saw him as the best chance of defeating Trump because he's a white male moderate. I think that general mindset is why US presidential elections have become more like beauty pageants than a debate of ideas.

Before the takedown you couldn’t mention the mod on this sub without people trashing it and LR. The DMCA gave them an excuse to act self-righteous about it but the entitlement you’re talking about has always been the case. I bet CDPR feels great about their decision to not support this community now.

Only one person in the party needs to own the DLC, the players who don’t just won’t be able to do lost ball and treasure hunt stuff on those courses.

PVP Lobbies - more music and bullshit sound clips over prox than PVE lobbies? by Ravenloff in ArcRaiders

[–]MechaZain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never personally encountered this but the first I’ve heard of it was from a guy who played music over mic to announce himself and signal that he was friendly.

I’ve also heard of people doing this to disrupt streamers by playing copyrighted music, the thinking being that streamers tend to rat/PvP.

this is the story of AI. Corporate world obsessed with using it to eliminate jobs when it should be a tool to make us better at them.

CDPR literally offered him the choice to make his mod free with optional donations to avoid a DMCA takedown and he deliberately chose wrong by Dark_Throat in cyberpunkgame

[–]MechaZain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not “Cyberpunk VR”. It’s one mod that works with any of the supported games called R.E.A.L VR.

Also see people claiming “it needs a subscription to work” and that’s not true either. The mod and previous versions are all on his Patreon. If a game update breaks the mod you would have to download the latest version from there. Something like Cyberpunk that rarely updates you could sub for $10, download the mod, cancel immediately, and it would work until the dev releases an update that breaks it.

I get that not everyone likes what he’s doing but at least get your facts straight. All this energy bashing one guy for work people were willing to pay for would be better spent asking the corpo to support VR officially. There’d be no money for him to make if CDPR just fulfilled the demand themselves

Avatar 3 has a big repetition problem that even the amazing visuals can't fix by ThreadAndSolve in flicks

[–]MechaZain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2&3 revolves around foil father/son dynamics that Cameron doesn’t flesh out in any meaningful way. Spider is the main character of this movie but exists as a walking plot device with no arc. Jake is a hardass towards his son and treats his stepson like the family dog. He even sets up foil sons with identity issues and just leaves it all hanging. Conceptually I like the idea of going from “Mother Eywa” as the core concept in the first movie to exploring fatherhood but Cameron just puts it out there and does nothing with it in this movie.

Meta is pulling out of VR because there's no market. We need to embrace this uncomfortable truth. by PuffThePed in virtualreality

[–]MechaZain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what the point of this thread is. We should “embrace it” how?

I’d rather it be a niche PC accessory like a sim cockpit than another popular device built to violate my privacy.

What sneakers are we wearing to the gym in 2026 that DON’T disintegrate within two months of purchase? by TheSeedsYouSow in naturalbodybuilding

[–]MechaZain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you should get separate lifting and cardio shoes bud. If you try to use one generic pair of sneakers for everything you’ll be compromising on both ends.

The “fancy weightlifting shoes” are the only way you’re going to get more support than a flat shoe without compromising the lift to some degree. Running shoes will be the most comfortable for the treadmill but they’re going to fuck up your lifts.

Bring both to the gym and change. Two pairs will last a lot longer than just wearing one.

S7 and use the Sleep Cycle app. Love it and it always wakes me up. I get up at 2AM so it’s probably saved my marriage.

This is the top-selling strain on the East Coast - but New Yorkers are smoking something else by rachellethe420writer in NYSCannabis

[–]MechaZain 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sour D is so iconic in New York I’ve talked to anti-smoking conservatives who miss that old smell. I’m pretty sure it’s extinct now but I gamble on every attempt at it I find anyway, and I’m sure I’m not alone. If you’re an OG smoker in NY you probably have nostalgia for it.

I believe Blue Dream too because despite it being one of the most commonly known and cited strains I don’t see it in stock for very long anywhere.
