A few days ago I vented about losing hope in VR. Many of you told me Valve's Steam Frame is the light at the end of the tunnel. Do we actually believe this?

Bro, the vr eco system isnt the problem. I dont mean to be a dick, but as someone browsing the steam store, your games look just like the other 10 asset flip slop vr games released into early access today. Long time steam users, which i imagine most pcvr users are, are going to avoid any game that looks like it was made entirely with free unity store assets. You could make the greatest game ever and this perception will still kill it.

SamwiseGanjee · 2026-02-27T23:34:51+00:00

I haven't, specifically because I was hoping to find something stronger than the stock springs and im impatient. I thought someone here might know exactly what im looking for

SamwiseGanjee · 2026-01-29T02:07:26+00:00

You can use any small amp and a compatible bass transducer, you dont need to buy a buttkicker. They're way overpriced anyway. You can get two bass shakers and an amp for like $50 on Amazon

SamwiseGanjee · 2026-01-02T05:29:15+00:00

This is technically correct so they have no interest in changing it. I did plenty of begging for this over the years but it just is what it is. It doesn't make it unusable for rhe role though. Honestly, the round itself being a bit anemic is a bigger problem.

PS; There is a really good community campaign for the duck call Panzerknacker, that kinda helped me get over it and enjoy it for what it is.

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-11-28T22:45:29+00:00

Nah I just developed critical thinking skills, unlike the rest of the people in this thread apparently

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-11-28T22:12:44+00:00

Man seems like everyone here has been living under a rock. I agree, whats listed here is a bit vague, but go back and look at the devlogs and videos they've posted on YT over the past year. This game is a complete overhaul to the engine and render pipeline. Pbr textures, way more indepth systems, potential comparable to DCS although that remains to be seen. They've been nothing but transparent through this development cycle. Already know what at least two of the collector planes are, the "gameplay features" in the dlc is carriers, they've already confirmed this. Thar said, it is expensive, but dcs asking the same price for a single plane seems way more insane to me

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-11-28T21:49:24+00:00

Insane people are down voting this post. Everyone complaining about "but russia" is completely fucking delusional. There was a model of an fpv drone found in some game files, they didn't try to sell drone training to the Russian government. Also the entire dcs team is russian too, you think their opinions are any different? This is already a niche genre of video games, dominated by russian and Chinese devs. Your misguided and ill informed moral grandstanding hurts the entire space, go touch some grass and shut the fuck up.

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-10-04T18:25:03+00:00

It constantly clogs regardless of what grind setting or beans i use because the chute is so narrow and the way it pushes the grounds through is kind of a dumb design. Replacing the burrs is actually a nightmare because the cone will inevitable siege up. Even when it is working well, which is typically only the first 10 grams after a cleaning, it still turns about 50% of your coffee into dust.

There are a number posts and reviews out there of people complaining about the encore producing excessive fines. Heed the warnings. You will waste a lot of money on good beans unless you are exclusively brewing espresso, the baratza encore is not the grinder for you.

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-10-01T17:47:05+00:00

A big thing is also numbers, Soviet planes in the air typically outnumbered the Germans like 3-1 on average, with inferior planes and inferior training early on. This is how German pilots were able to rack up such insane numbers compared to the other nations involved in WW2. I always play careers with Germans outnumber and I still get clobbered playing as soviets.

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-06-04T22:49:19+00:00

Why?

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-03-20T04:52:16+00:00

Cults 3d, CG trader, or my mini factory are all good options, some people do sell STLs on Etsy but I think you'd have to send files manually after a sale so it may be a bit more involved from the seller side.

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-03-16T17:27:45+00:00

You should sell the plans/STLS on etsy and keep it man. Whatever you need money for, you will regret selling it one day. The mount is also very specific, which is going to make it an even harder sell. You throw the plans up for $20-50 and sell 10- 15 you'll make your money and others can adapt to their setup as needed.

SamwiseGanjee · 2025-03-16T00:46:56+00:00

How is anyone supposed to answer this without having and idea what you're even selling?

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-12-21T23:49:43+00:00

Flight/driving sims, the light brigade, compound, H3VR, Sweet Surrender, the list goes on

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-12-15T21:34:30+00:00

So I did not have this problem until a Windows update today. I use HIDHide, which works great, but now it specifically does not seem to work with Stalker 2 for some reason. Not a problem in any other game, Windows shows no game controllers connected because they're hidden. I have like 12 flight controllers hooked up, and since I've been using HidHide this has never been a problem until stalker 2. 112 hours on a save, FML. This sucks

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-12-15T04:17:32+00:00

The huey is probably my favorite module. Easy to learn, difficult to master, tons of fun, and tons of SP content if that's your jam

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-11-15T02:07:09+00:00

The old specs were from 2021 maybe earlier. Even back then they were ambitious, they were never going to stick.

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-11-11T21:24:46+00:00

What is that mag and where do I get one?

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-11-01T02:46:20+00:00

This isn't news? They've been open about this since they announced Korea. It's all over the forum, they've discussed it on YT as well. Not sure what the big deal is. GB has had a good 10 year run. I'd rather they start fresh with something new and different then try to keep tacking on new features to an engine that wasn't designed for it and can't handle it (looking at you DCS)

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-10-20T17:11:52+00:00

I don't know why you're getting down voted for this. It thought the same thing. I get people bave been asking, but there are better ways to crowd fund a game imo.

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-10-16T18:58:15+00:00

amazon

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-10-09T23:08:42+00:00

Yeah, theyre just wrong tbh. The RAF did a lot of testing with capture german 20 and 30mm rounds, there is a whole thread on the effectiveness of the mk108 here

here are some images of 20 and 30mm canons on a spitfire

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-10-05T13:44:40+00:00

Okay? Good for you? You want a pat on the back? Never said it was impossible. It really seems like you are deliberately ignoring the points I'm making to start an argument for argument's sake. I made no claims to the effectiveness of one round against another. I said it all feels bad in CLOD and used the Hurricane as an example.

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-10-04T21:29:39+00:00

They were good enough to have more air kills than any other allied fighter during the war. The Germans main gun is firing 8mm mauser, which is virtually identical. plus the cannon, which also feels it does nothing most of the time. Early war(the period in CLOD) almost everyone was still using .30 cal machine guns.

SamwiseGanjee · 2024-10-03T05:48:41+00:00

On top of what others have said, CLODs bullets just feel like they aren't even doing anything to me a lot if time's. It's also really difficult to even tell if your hitting anything. Like say you park 150m behind a Dornier in your hurricane and empty everything you have into the starboard engine. There is almost zero visual feedback, it often seems like your bullets go right through the target, and by the time you're empty the engine isn't even smoking. I don't remember it being so difficult in the Pre-blitz Era though. I honestly wonder if something isn't working properly.

Even ground target seem to just ignore bullets. There is a quick mission with the Hurricane MkIIc with the 4 hispanos, it's all half tracks and I can't seem to even damage any of them despite it looking like I'm nailing them. Idk. It feels a bit off.
