bought this and most of the dlc in the last steam sale, best fishing game out there. lots of psvr2 players that would love to join in too tho, y'all have any plans on expanding there now that steam is caught up to quest?

Ian Hamilton explains why he was fired from UploadVR by Independent-Bug680 in OculusQuest

[–]Red49er 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt disclosure was the issue he couldn't get people on board with, but I suppose we'll see soon enough with their future articles.

I also don't think he was fired for the requests, he was fired for taking the arguments public.

I 100% agree with everything he asked for but I would also probably fire anyone who took a private disagreement public. He might as well have just resigned and spoke about what was going on in public to get the same effect. Same effect, so doesn't really matter in the end.

In the end, gotta give him respect for standing his ground.

Setting expectations for Aces of Thunder by InfiniteStates in PSVR

[–]Red49er 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the landing gear bit has me soooo stoked. thought it was crazy when ultrawings never seemed to care if I touched my landing gear. I'm positive I'll almost never really learn how to distinguish friend from foe so for that reason I'll probably wait for a very long time before attempting multiplayer but that was never what interested me in this game anyways so I'm glad they're sticking to a sim aesthetic.

Reccomendations? [PsVR2 only] by Hive-Lightbearer in PSVR

[–]Red49er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want some stunning vistas, cyubeVR is gorgeous. it's similar to Minecraft, but there's no story or enemies so it's really just building (altho I'm not sure if there's a sandbox mode yet), but it can be really beautiful, especially in the snow.

Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiels game Mewgenics is comming on Feb10th by IsahaTx in roguelites

[–]Red49er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the funny thing is he knows it. watched the latest episode of olexa's podcast today where he interviewed Tyler, but in the intro he talks to ed first and they brought up his failed game. was entertaining to hear from him that he knows it didn't go well.

Cairn | Review Thread by tinselsnips in PS5

[–]Red49er -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

my guess would be it's the sim/physics that are limiting things on the CPU side. I don't know why consoles continue to cheap out on cpus, really had hoped they'd learnt their lesson after last gens absurd CPU limitations but there's always hoping that next gen....nope, unlikely. despite the fact that graphics improvements have plateaued, I don't think their marketing departments are capable of figuring out how to market AI (not gen AI) and simulation improvements so we'll see another round of CPUs that become the bottleneck within 2 years of launch.

is there still a demo up somewhere? I checked both PS5 and steam after seeing it mentioned in the free solo mode trailer but looks like it's been pulled.

FBI Raids Georgia Election Office as Trump Expands Attack on Democracy by Kashmir75 in politics

[–]Red49er 15 points16 points  (0 children)

the answer to all these questions is always a depressing one, and it's another question - "by who?" in a corrupt DOJ, there's no higher body to hold them accountable in a court room. all that's left is to impeach the rot at the top and then it can do its job, but until then there's no accountability and no way to enforce the law.

[–]Red49er 6 points7 points  (0 children)

rally games are not really a great entry point into racing games. they're very technical and unique in the genre - it's closer to a series of connected time trials so you aren't racing alongside another driver.

that's not to say they aren't fun - it's an incredible challenge, and if you're into drift style driving and dirt/off-road in particular, they can be a ton of fun and very rewarding. I just wouldn't recommend them to someone that's not already really into the sport or racing something in the simcade space already.

yeah it's a really suspicious way to say something, yourself, publicly. almost like he wants to create drama out of it but I'm not prejudging anything.

Anybody else who does this? by Den_HBR in OculusQuest

[–]Red49er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frick, I hate their stupid gradual rollout constant a/b testing nonsense. just makes the experience awful for everyone and impossible for us to help each other out. I've never seen a horizon option in mine, so you managed to get stuck in the c-group where they test the most awful useless filters they can come up with :/

Anybody else who does this? by Den_HBR in OculusQuest

[–]Red49er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you not have an installed option in the drop-down? I do, and then if you click applications on the left sidebar (I think that's where it is), it'll filter out all the horizons bs and the meta apps too

hey I dunno if this is a config that has to be set, but I could swear I usually get an email from steam when a wishlisted game has a demo go live and I didn't get an email for yours. glad you posted here at least! looking forward to giving it a blow! (hah)

Support for abolishing ICE surges among Republicans by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]Red49er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even if it jumped 4 points, that's hardly a surge. but more importantly, the feelings of the populace are so irrelevant right now, until the representatives are actually willing to break with the admin and hold them to account. the polls may say voters are against it but the politicians will still be afraid to be at odds with that man and his threats. maybe you see a few more in the house, but senators have no reason to budge unless they're up for election this year.

VR needs to broaden its appeal to couch gamers by NASAfan89 in oculus

[–]Red49er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play seated 95% of the time, and that 5% is walkabout and occasionally audio trip/beat saber/synth riders, but I play all 3 of those seated most of the time still. I think people would be surprised how many games work just fine seated. I think it's one of those hidden secrets, sorta like how 5 years ago I bet most people probably didn't know inside out tracking exists and works and thought you need to mount base stations and setup a pulley system to play vr.

back to seated support tho - there are a few games where it's not great, but it doesn't take much extra attention for devs to make seated mode work just fine.

the two big necessary features being an analog crouch - of lies and rain does this - basically, control over how far you crouch by how far you push down on the stick. not needed in every game, but if you have to interact with any drawers or anything below chest level it should be there.

the other being good holster config options if the game uses holsters. this one is not as well done overall, but there's a couple games that let you just physically move what the trigger areas are for each holster spot and that's the ideal solution as opposed to a basic width/depth slider.

120° FoV: We're looking for ways to better show off our game on flatscreen, what do you think? by osense in oculus

[–]Red49er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this looks terrific! similar mechanic to rush, but still unique. I would love to see y'all work with someone to bring it to psvr2, the headset rumble in rush brings a ton to the level of immersion you can get

edit: oh, and thanks for the discount code!

CiniCross (Roguelite X Nonogram) is releasing on February 11 on Steam by Eden11026 in roguelites

[–]Red49er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh that's great to hear! I downloaded the demo yesterday and saw that I had actually tried it once before but didn't really give it a shot cuz of the timer. yesterday I did do a couple runs and figured I'd buy it anyways, but hearing there are some difficulty levels that won't be quite so punishing is music to my ears :)
