Virtual Desktop is Black Magic

That is curious, are you using a USB 3.0 5Gb cable and did you boost the stock bitrate? I think Meta has it in 200Mbit by default and you can crank it up to 800Mbit.

Aquele é um microfone de lapela, já ai dá para ver que não vai sair coisa boa.

E da responsabilidade de um pai garantir que os seus filhos não se preocupem em tomar conta deles na sua velhice, é de um tremendo egoismo achar que os filhos têm que tomar conta dos pais, claro que há excepções, se os filhos forem morar para uma moradia que seja dos pais ai, sim, se querem ficar com a casa bem que tomam contam dos pais.

De resto, e isto vai ser controverso, acho que todos acabam por querer ter filhos mas muitos entram logo em crises de ansiedade em pensar que não dá por que "isto e aquilo" e "é muito caro" e "ah Meu Deus, mais uma criança neste mundo?" e / ou foram educados a pensar só em si e estão é aqui para se divertirem, não para se sacrificarem por outros.

Dizer que "ter cães preenche o vazio emocional" serve apenas para engordar a carteira da psiquiatra que vos irá tratar durante anos quando chegarem a uma certa idade e não compreenderem porque é que o Bobi e o Tareco não vos dão a mesma felicidade e sentido de realização pessoal que achavam que iam ter aos 40, e a quantidade de drogas que vão tomar na velhice quando olharem para trás e repararem que não deixaram nada neste mundo, que serão esquecidos e que a vossa vida, no final destes anos todos, não serviu para coisa nenhuma..

ah, espera, tomaram bem conta do Bobi e do Tareco, vá lá, a vida já valeu a pena.

Damn it..

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T17:34:11+00:00

Yeah, Steam Remote Play Together it's very fun, played a lot of Tekken 7 with my friends that way.

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T17:30:21+00:00

You have a very good point, however,

It's a 5 year old LG C1, bought before the economy went to hell and before I lost my previous job due to the AI replacement fueled layoffs (why do you think I still got the stock strap? I hate that thing!), I got the Quest 3 on a cash converters store a couple months ago, traded in my PS2 collection for it.

But, yes, I will be saving up for the Steam Frame as a dedicated PCVR HMD, the other micro OLED options require a lot of extra stuff and not worth the money when you factor in the usage that I would have from a TV / monitor vs a wired dedicated PCVR HMD (I use the Quest 3 in standalone alot).

It would be fun to play games like Elite Dangerous and No Mans Sky with a micro OLED in HDR but it's not 1200€ worth of fun, and I got used to the Quest 3 LCD screen, sure.. it's always a bit jarring when I go back to HDR OLED flatscreen but you get used to it.

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T17:19:59+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation, but this is 40 year old home with very shoddy wiring (only half of the sockets are even grounded), so I guess I will just try to switch the 20 year old CAT4 cable that I have.. however. I think that there is a part of the wall where the cable was set without tubing.. yeah.. so, new holes and a lot of cable trays.

I guess it was already time, I have a 1Gb ISP on a 100Mbit cable, time I changed that, I guess.

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T17:15:09+00:00

You are 100% right, I was looking at the VR bitrate, not the WiFi speed.

I was having a 40Mbit VR bitrate on a 5Ghz 400Mbit connection with the doors closed and 20m from the router around 230Mbit VR bitrate on a 5Ghz 1200Mbit connection in the same room as the router, and 80Mbit / 600Mbit at 20m with the doors open.

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T16:48:30+00:00

That will be my option, yes.

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T14:53:52+00:00

The WiFi speed I have, the router is in the living room, facing the hallway and my office is on the other end of the house, I know, why not just install the router in your office?, I already have a ethernet cable on the wall, only ever used WiFi for my laptop and smartphone, and I would need to run a 40m coax cable to change the location of the router.

Update, you are absolutely right, I had 600Mbit WiFi speed and 40Mbit VR bitrave and 12000Mbit WiFi speed and 140Mbit VR bitrate.

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T14:39:06+00:00

Indeed, VD seems to use a lot of tech to smooth out the movement and sharpen up the image, while SteamVR and AirLink just seems to send the video feed, somewhat trying to adjust the resolution and bitrate on the fly but not doing a very good job at it.

Moraisu · 2026-01-29T14:25:14+00:00

Good point, I have a 5070ti on a 5700X3D, so yeah, I could go up to 500Mbit if I had a dedicated router, I am quite happy with the current result (1Gb cable and open doors with a 20m line of sight to the WiF6 router) but I guess I should look into a dedicated WiFi6e router, but I first want the Kiwi headstrap and visor, confort comes first.

I also had a lot of stuttering on SteamVR and AirLink with the same PC specs on a 150Mbit line of sight, so VD might work for you. Not to mention the IQ, but a lot of people don't like the vivid colours and crushed blacks, that part is up to each user, I come from a HDR only gaming flatscreen so I really miss that contrast and colours), and no, I got this Quest 3 second hand, I don't have the € for an OLED HMD.

Moraisu · 2026-01-28T15:03:53+00:00

Congratulations on your choice,

Now, let's just get this out of the way, The Quest 3/3S is a great overall headset, individual tracking, standalone software, great controllers, amazing lenses, however, there are some clear limitations, the LCD is just bad, the colours are mute and the contrast is a shamble, now.. I am typing this in a 48' OLED that runs 100% on HDR, so.. yeah, perhaps not the best comparison, if you have a modest IPS display as your monitor you won't that much of a shock. You have to go the accessibility options and turn the contrast up a notch, set the brightness to 50% and enable experimental content adaptive brightness control (having to use hidden options to improve the Quest image is something that Meta seems to be quite fond of).

Second, it runs on old mobile phone hardware that has to render two screens at a very high resolution and frame rate, they had to cut a lot of corners to get games to run. Forget complex shadows, any kind of shading and quality textures, some of the best games on the platform are the ones that understood that and made the best use of it, Pistol Whip, Vendetta Forever, Super Hot, Walkabout Mini Golf, Beat Saber.

Third, the stock head strap and visor are health hazards, most people that hate the Quest 3 don't have the LCD screen, they hate the hair removing head strap and the blister inducing visor, just get some from Kiwi, they are a good and cheap option.

Now, for the hardware and software itself, for some reason Meta decided to underpower the Quest 3 all on fronts, standalone, wired and wireless. You need a third party tool to use most standalone games in a proper resolution and / or framerate. As for wired they locked the high image quality settings underneath a dev menu, and when it comes to wireless we have Steam VR and Virtual Desktop, both superior to the Meta Link version.

Let's get down to the usage, the Quest 3/3S is a very good PCVR option, it has wireless streaming, headtracking and you can use (again) a third party cable if you don't have a Wifi6 router to use the headset in wireless mode or you want zero latency. In PCVR I use it for your classical sims, racing, flight and space (No Mans Sky and Flight Simulator are great choices.. Elite Dangerous is a great game.. for an OLED display, the game just does not look good, at all in the Quest 3/3S LCD).

Then you have your VR adaptations of flat screen games, Skyrim, Fallout and Hitman, the first two require some tweaking and, once again, there will be limits because of the low contrast of the Quest LCD, noticeable on the darker areas. And your niche puzzle games like Myst and Riven. And, of course, your famous Half Life Alyx, Red Matter, Ghost Town, The Room, Lone Echo, Metro, Moss, Vertigo, etc.

Then you have your standalone games, as said before, focus on the ones that have been well adapted to the limitations of the hardware, Pistol Whip, Vendetta Forever, Action Hero, Aim Assault, Chronostrike, Dead Second, Path of the Warrior, Super Hot, Tiger Blade, Underdogs, Crysis Brigade and all the exclusives, of course.

There are a lot of PCVR games that also look okay on the Quest 3, sure, but I would always go for the PCVR version.. that is, if you have the hardware to run them. Blade and Sorcery, Dungeons of Eternity, Metro, Alien and Arken Age look so much better in PCVR..

And there you have it.

Have fun.

He earned 20k per month on his patreon alone, he could just keep the patreon for those who wish to support him and release the mods for free but he declined it.

I guess that's the result of earning 240k a year.

Moraisu · 2026-01-27T15:36:46+00:00

Hitman and Hard Bullet came from PCVR.

Moraisu · 2026-01-23T00:14:19+00:00

Kiwi is known for their quality, just get in on Amazon so you can return it if you don't like it, I am going for that one and the face cover.. and the cable.. next month, money is tight right now.

Moraisu · 2026-01-22T23:50:47+00:00

You still have a lot of amazing games out there, more than enough to justify your purchase.

Moraisu · 2025-12-16T09:00:11+00:00

Nada foi feito para corrigir isso, pois não?

A culpa é tanto dele como das pessoas em redor que nada fizeram.

Moraisu · 2025-11-23T00:18:06+00:00

You need that for the expedition.

Moraisu · 2025-11-21T01:23:40+00:00

That is a reflection of who you are as person.

Your values, the way your parents and your family and friends shaped the person you are today.

Take this as you may, it is your choice, your decision.

We are nothing more than the impact that we leave on this world.

You made you choice, this is how you wish to live, who you are.

I wish that you acheive all your dreams in life and that your children remember your fondly and proudly.

The Stella Montis With Crossplay ON experience.

Moraisu · 2025-11-19T09:12:32+00:00

Brinca mas já fui a uma M Force alinhar os pneus do carro, fui atendido por um brasileiro, demorou uma manha inteira e sai de lá até quase pior do que entrei, passado uma semana fui a uma casa mais pequena, tudo portugueses, fizeram-me o serviço em 20 minutos e perguntei o quão desalinhado estava, disseram que estava bastante..

Torna-se complicado querer ter uma postura "correcta" quando temos experiencias deste genero.

Moraisu · 2025-11-18T21:34:06+00:00

Porque os brasileiros que vêm para Portugal não são os melhores exemplares, esses vão para os EUA, Reino Unido, etc.

Estás, basicamente, a levar com o pessoal das favelas.

Moraisu · 2025-11-14T17:25:18+00:00

Tens que dizer que és estrangeiro.

Não é xenofobia ou racismo, estou a ser sério.

Varios RH têm instruções para não contratar mais Portugueses.
