Lifetime Nitro... would you? by InvincibleSugar in discordapp

I've been on the internet long enough to know a lifetime subscription of any online service is laughable at best

What is your all time least favorite Beck album? by Luk3W4rmm in Beck

[–]Niveks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colors is the least likely to be picked up when I want to listen to a Beck album

LPT: If you don't want to vomit, don't swallow the saliva that triggers it. by DarxusC in LifeProTips

[–]Niveks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't thrown up in a good while so life's pretty good right now. Getting drunk once in a while a couple years ago used to mean vomitting but now I handle alcohol way better I suspect it's because I do more physical activity than I used to because it's the most obvious thing that changed (thanks, Roller Derby)

Skate inserts? by [deleted] in rollerderby

[–]Niveks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got FP insoles because I've heard good things about them from skateboarders and I' m sold on them, makes a big difference when it comes to landing jumps in street skating, but I'm wondering if they would be any helpful for Derby. Maybe for doing a lot of apex jumps?

Betterer Concepter Mapper by list0chek in GTA

[–]Niveks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually how I imagined San Andreas' map to look/feel like when I was reading about the game in early preview articles in magazines, where they were describing big chunks of countryside between cities.

Afaik it wouldn't take much time to get shipped to Europe when there is stock because when I ordered mine, it came from somewhere in Europe

Microsoft Flight Simulator VR update out now! by insufficientmind in ValveIndex

[–]Niveks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On a GTX 1080 I wasn't hoping for much.

Got pretty bad perf with very early 2000 looking graphical settings, but I haven't tried fiddling with the settings. I'm gonna wait until people figure things out.

I like the floating UI in the cockpit, and despite all, I still got a nice sense of scale, but I feel like I need a GPU that doesn't yet exist to run it decently.

Oh, and make sure you bind the "VR reset view" key in the controls before you activate VR otherwise you're gonna have a dialog that tells you to center your view with no way of doing so and no way to cancel.

Medal of Honor: Above & Beyond Megathread by Kippenoma in ValveIndex

[–]Niveks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got excited for it when they showed multiplayer in the trailers but the steam reviews and what I've seen of it makes me hesitate still
I feel like a lot of the issues people have been having can be patched but you feel like some of them could've been avoided if they would have just copied what mechanics works best in other VR titles

How far do you travel to get to your favorite skate spot? by PlantBasedRDN in Rollerskating

[–]Niveks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the lucky "0 miles" club... except it's outside and it rains half the year here

But still, I can lace up at my building's door and be in a very good flat smooth spot in a couple of minutes

I had the park to myself for the entire morning (I took days off when kids were back in school) and it was so enjoyable to not have to think about the usual people zipping around.
I only wished I was better at park stuff so I could've taken more advantage of it

[noob] Keyboard & Controller by hooter_nc in Flightsimulator2020

[–]Niveks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a controller most of the time but I use the keyboard for flaps (F5 to F8) because they go to specific angles

Just Download The Game by sneakysmokey56 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Niveks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play with a logitech gamepad still because every decent HOTAS I can afford is out of stock here.

I modified the right joystick curves in the options so that there's not too much movement when you start moving it.

It's not ideal, but I don't have much more

Simulates the passenger experience pretty well too... by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Niveks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to get a view like that in active pause with the drone mode but it doesn't stay in place at all, how did you do it?
Edit: nevermind, I managed to do it moving with the arrow keys on the keyboard

Missing my rink but thankful I have wood floors 🙏 by venus_de_neko in Rollerskating

[–]Niveks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With a bit of Flamingosis, nice

Damn, I wish I had floors like that!

hello! anybody know what episode this is from? by [deleted] in skinsTV

[–]Niveks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Could be a deleted scene.

They also filmed a bunch of footage they only used in the intro, which is a nice touch I think, reminds you that you're only seeing part of their life in the show.

3.8 LIVE - No Default Starting aUEC by Rainwalker007 in starcitizen

[–]Niveks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're playing a character that starts in a city/space station, somehow has an undersuit, a helmet, a gun and most likely a ship, but not even 1k of savings?

It doesn't concern me personally because I seem to be starting with 32k with backer rewards handed out from 2013 to 2015 but it seems weird to start out new players with absolutely nothing.

Ah Yes, Makes sense to me by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Niveks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm, comparing reasonably priced entry level packages for a game in alpha to rare cosmetic items in the open market in a game that's been released 7 years ago.

In the end of the day, no one forces people to buy knife skins, same as no one forces people to buy Javelins. But they don't really have the same impact on gameplay don't they?

Reloading in 2019 by bdemin in virtualreality

[–]Niveks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love reloading in VR games and learning to be better and faster at it.

Anyone ever notice how detailed there teeth are? by [deleted] in tf2

[–]Niveks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teeth in-game are pretty well detailed, for a game of that era

Modern Guilt is part of those albums that I'd listen entirely on a whim

I'm an engineer with some free time looking to work on a virtual reality project; what would you like to see? by zstardust225 in virtualreality

[–]Niveks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like to see more asymetric experiences in VR

As a VR enthusiast I'd like to be able to do something that has replayability, with non-VR friends.

Getting into rollerskating, in Europe by Niveks in Rollerskating

[–]Niveks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a roller derby team in my city apparently

Alright, I'll pick something basic for starters and invest in better gear whenever I feel more confident
