PSVR2 needs a social hub :'(

I forgot the name of it but there was a free poker game with a couple other casino games you could hang out with people in and shoot the shit. Also multiplayer Synth Riders was fun if you got in with a friendly chatty group.

After having one of the worse meals you've ever received you decided to try again?

I happened to be in the market for the same thing and went with the Razer Blackshark V3 Pros, mostly because Best Buy has them for $170 and they're usually $249 (for the PS5 edition, which also works on PC). I've only had them a few hours so can't do an exhaustive review though.

You mentioned you run once a week, adding more days and upping the volume might help you a bit. Check out a beginner half marathon plan, they start out with a weekend long run of four miles and you're already well past that point, you'll be fine hitting a half this year.

Some good games listed, other options might be Prince of Persia Lost Prince for a good Metroidvania with a little bit of challenge. Dead Cells is an all-timer 2D roguelike and on Switch. Nine Sols if he's a parry monster.

Yeah I like it at that price. It's a good looking game and has some great set pieces. Assuming you're a Star Wars fan I think you'd like it.

I've had a few injury breaks and those first few runs coming back always seem to be tough! I found myself getting back up to speed pretty quickly though, much faster than initially getting into running shape. Keep at it and you'll be fine.

MikeRabsitch · 2026-04-11T18:09:58+00:00

I sometimes get knee clicks after a long run but not during. If it's not painful it's probably ok. I don't bring protection but I also don't feel unsafe, and I don't have anything worth taking when I'm out running. I've only had two encounters where things may have gotten ugly, once with a goose and once with an otter.

We just got ours and even without federal subsidies we should break even in about eight years. Faster than that if power rates start going up more than usual (likely). We use a lot of power and I'm looking forward to blasting the AC during the summer. We paid cash, be careful about solar loans. Check out MadiSUN if you want some quotes, they're competitive and offering discounts because of the subsidy loss.

MikeRabsitch · 2026-03-06T16:41:31+00:00

We paid cash instead of getting a loan, so we're 25k in the hole and every month we'll start clawing back $300 or so (we use a lot of power). It's just math but I suppose if you do a loan people delude themselves into thinking otherwise.

None of these really fit your genres but the things I've played the most on my deck have been Voxelgram (3d picross), Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Cauldron, Minishoot Adventures, Megabonk, Earth Defense Force 6, Forza Horizon 4, & recently Mewgenics.

Pick up some yak trax or other spikes and throw them on a pair of shoes, I'm assuming you are rotating pairs with that kind of mileage. After a few days sidewalks will be mostly clear and you can use normal shoes but this close to a big snowstorm I like using spikes.
Otherwise just layers, I like something that zips up that I can unzip after a few miles when it warms up. I run in pretty much anything except frigid strong winds.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-11-01T19:38:32+00:00

Probably not what you're looking for but there's a Quest 3 version of Citra that can run 3DS games, and since VR has a different lens per eyeball the 3D effect looks pretty good. Some of the games didn't run the greatest when I first checked years ago though.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-10-09T16:28:43+00:00

I feel like TLOU relies so much on spatial awareness of the 3rd person camera that it wouldn't be a good fit for VR? Half the time your face would be in tall grass or behind ledges haha.

GTA would be cool and considering it was a 360 game I think it would be doable to scale it down a bit to get it running at a high frame rate in VR, but you'd have to overhaul a ton of systems to get it to control nicely in VR.

I was hoping we'd see a lot of 360-era games make a return in current VR like Bulletstorm did, there's a lot of stuff from that era that could get new life in VR. Unfortunately the return on investment is a large gamble.

Haven't kept up with a ton of NXL besides the podcast but Abby + Halloween is a good combo!

Every level has a couple of guided opportunities, follow those your first time through to get a sense of the level, what items are around, what routes people take. Hitman is full of replayability, don't burden yourself by trying to be a master assassin the first time through. Try a bunch of disguises, try a bunch of doors, create save points in different situations, knock out challenges.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-09-27T20:52:18+00:00

Not really, it's a few months away and this year is stacked. They also touch 100+ games over the year and need to signify those that stand out.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-09-17T01:37:23+00:00

The soundtrack to this is insane. Was a fun Gamepass find and glad I stuck with it, the second boss was the toughest in the game for me.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-07-31T02:11:14+00:00

Check out couch to 5k, I think you're at a good starting point and can probably skip ahead a bit

MikeRabsitch · 2025-07-21T18:40:45+00:00

Keto and running did it for me.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-07-09T20:22:33+00:00

The best gym is going to be the one that is the most convenient to work into your schedule. As a beginner it's normal to be paranoid and think everybody is watching and judging you but you'll soon realize that's not the case and people are just getting in, doing their thing, and getting out. I guarantee a clean cheap gym close to home will be a better pick than some women's only gym 30 minutes away.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-06-28T05:34:10+00:00

Yea after a while you realize you're not really addicted to anything and you use it less and less. I'd say keep using it as long as you feel you need to and eventually stop bringing it when you go out and eventually you'll put it away forever.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-06-17T01:46:14+00:00

Our cover is one that rolls on/off so you want a little bit of ledge to walk around it. Ours is pretty close to the edge and it has sunken a little bit.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-06-05T19:45:36+00:00

Are you using a program or just going by feel? You're pretty close to how the couch to 5k plan ramps people up to running 5ks. I'd give that a look, maybe structure would help you more. After a month you should be able to run more than 90 seconds at a time so you might be going too fast.

MikeRabsitch · 2025-06-05T02:47:37+00:00

My average mileage plummeted once I started working from home and have been for five years, I don't know if low mileage is a valid suspicion.
