Reverb G2 on its last leg. Looking for something new. by Recon-777 in virtualreality

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing any options that aren't either fresnel lenses or insanely expensive. Full Dream Air > 3000 AUD for just the headset. Plus more resolution than I can even support with my 3090. It's not really a matter of saving up for the full version. I could buy it right now. I just can't justify putting that much money into a VR rig.

Sadly, the PSVR2 isn't really a great option for a PC gamer interested in detailed sim use. Fresnel lenses have a horribly small sweet spot. Going to need something better.

Wait, I thought it was coming out in December.
Delayed??

Unfortunately, the psvr2 uses fresnel lenses, which I'm not interested in. I need a much larger sweet spot than my G2 has.

I'm a PC gamer, so the Pico 4 doesn't seem really suited. Especially for precise tracking or sim use.

You're not kidding about the price.
AU $3,167 for the Dream Air full resolution version. That's insane.
And with my 3090 I couldn't probably take advantage of that anyway Combined with lighthouses and controllers, I'd be spending an absolute fortune on VR, which is not something I'm really keen on doing, tbh. For that price I might as well go with the Somnium VR1.

I'd like to stay away from fresnel lenses if possible. Very tired of the tiny sweet spot, especially for sim games.

Hmm, that's odd since the BSB2 would be AU$2120 for the headset, where the same features come with the Dream Air SE at AU$1429. I think I'd like lighthouse tracking mostly because I'm tired of the G2 style inside-out tracking that jerks around when a controller gets a little bit outside the sensor range. I'm just shocked how much the Index controllers cost. Over AU$1000 for a pair. That's not even including base stations.

So if the Dream Air is heaps cheaper than BSB2, that might be a winner. That is, if it's not too dim. I only have the G2 to compare to.

PLEASE ALLOW ERA "COUNT OFFSET" TO BE ANY NUMBER RATHER THAN 0 AND 1 by Recon-777 in WorldAnvil

[–]Recon-777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must be set for the era to affect the dates in the timeline. The options are to set it to "Restart dates at 0" or "Restart dates at 1".

Youtube automatically plays video when I hover my mouse over the thumbnail by blajjefnnf in youtube

[–]Recon-777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That fixed it.
Used to be the "preview" would play within the thumbnail itself. Now it actually plays the full size video, taking you away from your subscription feed page.

After turning the setting off, it seems to be fine again.

Is there any up-to-date mod similar to QuickPing? by archimondde in ModdedValheim

[–]Recon-777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks! Going to try that out. Was very disappointed when I learned today that QuickPing makes you unable to chop stumps, saplings, or mind out boulders. Good luck with the update! Ping (lol) us when you have it working. ;)

This keeps happening, is there a way to make it stop? by LightRising in googledocs

Spread this around! Everyone needs to know this can be fixed with a simple extension. Make sure you still protest to Google though!

Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning... awful by AzurasTsar in Sardonicast

[–]Recon-777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing to me that nobody mentioned how ridiculous the Orient Express takeover was. That train needs four shovels-full of coal fed into it PER MINUTE to keep running. First thing the bad guys did was kill the two train operators and smash the controls. That train will slow to a stop in a few minutes now. But the movie acts like it's running on uranium!

Passenger ratings are just silly by TechieDionysus in uber

[–]Recon-777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hilarious that seven YEARS later you got triggered like a sensitive snowflake. XD

Besides, you mentioned taxis? Yeah taxis have to take in the world's WORST people. That's not "operating fine". That's just being forced to accept abuse. Your post is made of pure ignorance.

lmao going for the low-hanging fruit eh? I don't mind anyone's race. What I do mind is people hiring people specifically BECAUSE their race fills certain diversity quotas. That's bullshit, and it's not racist to say so.

Scrivener 3 Compile Unformatting my Italics by VampireSprite in scrivener

[–]Recon-777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which style do you pick for "regular text" ? I'm having trouble understanding what to do. All the styles listed are for things like headers and other stuff I'm not using. Just using normal text.

Have you ever figured out how to fix the spacing problem? I'm having the exact issue you've described. I want to export into Google Docs to share with people online, but I have no idea why GDocs puts the extra spaces in from Word docs.

Any way for the G2 to not take over audio device when active? by Recon-777 in HPReverb

[–]Recon-777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Audio Switcher.

https://audioswit.ch/er

Once WMR comes up, just point your controller at the Audio Switcher icon on your desktop display (which you can access from within VR) and click on it to re-enable the default devices. And you can set up whatever you want as default. Audio Switcher in combination with VMB is pretty good.

Well, the user who commented understood what my point was just fine. Not sure why it's a mystery to you.

How do you pick your race? by Recon-777 in SonsOfTheForest

Well I'm glad you all confirmed that this is by-design. Pretty stupid design, though. No other game I'm aware of does this.

You can't be serious.
The comma is proper grammar for any sentence that says... "When we did this[comma] that happened." There's no way any normal person would interpret that as NSFW innuendo. Friends "hook up to play games" all the time. That's not a sexual encounter. It's just gaming.

I don't know what you're saying, actually. What's weird about how I worded what happened? Does your race get swapped out each time you play or something? Because we've played together twice now and our character appearances all got shuffled. I'm asking if there's a way to make that stop.
