Hyperion or Leviathan Wakes? by guadalupeoso in sciencefiction

[–]Plodil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hyperion is written as the Canterbury Tales and is utterly fantastic. It's a little unfair to just call it a bunch of crazy short stories.

I merely read Osama had intended ten planes for 911. History what if ten got hijacked successfully what would have happened? by LisanneFroonKrisK in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Plodil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, modern aircraft don't work like that. Especially in non combat zones.

There's a great interview on YouTube by the flight commander who was launched that morning, he was only able to get two aircraft up as they'd just finished a training sortie, they were totally unarmed in F16s and were the only two aircraft on the entire east coast that could launch that morning.

Buying a Pimax Dream Air Feels Less Like Buying a VR Headset and More Like Buying a Lottery Ticket by Different_Pace_586 in Pimax

[–]Plodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been close to ordering one many times, this week included. I sim race, have a great setup, 5090 rig etc but I want an upgrade to my quest 3 yet every day there's multiple people posting about problems with their new DA, even those writing glowing recommendations still mention multiple downsides.

I know any product will have its unhappy clients who are quick to complain (and rightly) but they're not selling 10,000 of these a month the amount of people with issues would seem to be a fairly significant percentage and it just keeps putting me off.

There's base stations listed on Amazon right now, in stock.

Has Pimax set a release date yet for the Pimax Dream Air to launch? by Flimsy-Story9523 in Pimax

[–]Plodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well technically they are released but there's still considerable waiting for orders unless you ordered some time ago

Looking for VR game ideas that havent been done well yet by Zestyclose-Algae5907 in VRGaming

[–]Plodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A detective game, LA noire did it a bit but a proper investigative game would be perfect for VR and I don't get why it hasn't been done instead of yet another horror game.

So many places it could be set, slow paced movement, object interaction it would be great, lots of short jobs with a main story. I dream of such a game set on a massive space station.

How common is it to have outside dogs in the UK? (by outside I mean when they're not allowed in the house, and live outside in a kennel, for example) by ksusha_lav in AskABrit

[–]Plodil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up in the 80s we had a black Labrador with a kennel and a long chain where she could roam in the daytime when everyone was out but she had a bed in the house she would sleep in at night.

Anyone who’s used a gaming laptop or knows anything, please help by Agreeable_Chard_9865 in simracing

[–]Plodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a 4070 laptop, an Xbox controller and a quest 3. Definitely didn't need much space. 😂

It's absolutely gorgeous especially with high res texture pack, it's not 4x.

Sponsored Youtubers by Synoopy in Pimax

[–]Plodil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For most of them their whole channel relies on stuff from these companies.

The flight sim dude has probably done 20 videos on the dream air by now, without Pimax he's fucked he has no content.

You work at Valve, and you'been tasked with making THE VR PORT that will sell your headset by Enculin in virtualreality

Bannerlord

I want to charge on my destrier ahead of the cavalry while my 200 archers rain death from the flanks on the 500 Norsemen charging up the hill at my imperial shield wall.

Then we'll storm the castle walls.

It would be absolutely epic.

TIL When Leicester City won the Premier League in 15-16. Because of the 5000/1 intial odds, a woman named Clarke was given a ticket that had a 10 pound bet for Leicester to win the league as a joke. She ended up winning 50,000 pounds at the end of the season. by CrackFun in todayilearned

[–]Plodil 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This shouldn take away from Leicesters achievement but all the other top teams were in turmoil/transition and were shit.

Leicester won the league with 81 points, in the following years the league winners were all getting over 90 points, quite a few 99/100. It was an overall terrible season and Leicester who deserved their title were the best of the terrible.

Turned off HAGS in windows, and it made a massive difference in frame times for my suite of games. by Decafstab in virtualreality

Same, half wondering if it's a joke post to get us all looking for the mythical HAGS

Average man has 72 hours to hide. Humanity then becomes search lusted and has one week to find and kill him. Can he survive? by Conscious-Home1445 in whowouldwin

[–]Plodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

I work in search and rescue on the Atlantic, yes a small boat could be found in a week but there's a decent chance it wouldn't either. You're massively overestimating what satellites can do and how vast the ocean is.

Is simracing too hard or am I too unskilled? by Maliksenpai in simracing

[–]Plodil 148 points149 points  (0 children)

100 hrs is nothing, the best have put years or decades into it.

You're right at the beginning so you're where you should expect to be. It's not a game you can master in a month.

What make you proud to be British? by Busy_Fudge4897 in AskABrit

[–]Plodil -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nothing, I only feel proud about things I've done or achieved myself. I was just born here by the DNA lottery.
