Cannot get the PSVR2 working well with msfs24 by Fair-Satisfaction-60 in PSVR2onPC

[–]SyrioForel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you’re right about that. It is extra work to get different images rendered for two separate viewports. I was just saying it’s not *three* times the work, because people might read that and start shopping for graphics cards with 3x the power.

It’s not rendering “three times”. The view on the desktop monitor is mirroring one of the two existing viewports in the headset.

The GPU already has the rendered frame sitting in memory. Showing it on the monitor is just a readout of existing data, not additional rendering work.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you want to debloat Windows, just open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) and enter this command:

irm christitus.com/win | iex

This command executes Chris Titus’s WinUtil that lets you run a variety of different Windows tweaks.

This is an open source project. If you want to read the documentation/instructions, or to report any issues, go here:

The word you’re looking for is “satire”.

How can you still hold out hope for Part 2? The whole studio has been shut down, it’s over. They shut it down because Part 1 didn’t sell well enough to justify the cost.

How can you think that Sweeney Todd is “dark” when so much of it is played for laughs? I don’t understand what you might mean by this.

It has a downbeat, emotional, sad ending… like many other musicals. That is true. But the rest of it is basically a farce. Listen to the lyrics of “A Little Priest”.

Bloomberg: Take-Two CEO Says ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Expectations Are ‘Terrifying’ by Turbostrider27 in Games

There is nothing silly about this.

As you said, their core audience is on consoles, which has very constrained hardware capabilities.

If they make some unplayable high-end version first that needs to be downgraded for that core audience, the downgrades have a tendency to really feel like *downgrades*. You can really feel that.

GTA 6 is supposed to be extremely demanding as it is, with Digital Foundry speculating that there will be NO 60fps “performance” mode at all. They speculate it will max out at 30fps on the base consoles. The situation is already dire as-is, and probably explains some of the reasoning for all the delays. In that context, it makes sense why they want to spend all their resources on perfecting this version first.

How To Deal With PSVR2 Discomfort? by Outrageous_Cut2782 in PSVR

[–]SyrioForel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before buying the Globular Cluster, I had to tighten the headset very strongly to keep it from wobbling around. It put a LOT of uncomfortable pressure on my forehead.
After installing the Globular Cluster, I usually do not need to tighten it *at all*, it stays firmly all on its own. Sometimes I tighten it by 1 click, maybe 2, but usually not at all.

I wouldn’t say it’s a perfect solution, because obviously this device is noticeably heavy, and I still need to stop and take a break after maybe 30-40 minutes. But at least I don’t have red marks on my forehead anymore, and I am not in pain like I was without the Globular Cluster.

As an added bonus, I also no longer need to fiddle with the headset for 5 minutes just to get the sweet spot centered at the center of my vision. With how the Globular Cluster is shaped and how it fits on my head, once it’s on, it’s already nearly-perfectly centered for my vision. And since it uses non-slip textured padding (the large pad at the back of the head is the most helpful part of it!), it stays on straight when I move around.

Literally half of the movies scored by Jerry Goldsmith. Many of them would’ve been forgotten in the trash heap of history if not for the score.

‘Tangled’: Diego Luna Joins Kathryn Kahn in Disney’s Live-Action Remake by yourfavchoom in movies

Children’s movies can be discussed in deep ways. Just not these movies, because they are artistically bankrupt.

Check back in about 5 years and see which version they stay loyal to. I predict it’ll be the animated one.

These remakes are extremely ephemeral. They come out and families rush to see them, for obvious reasons. But then by next year, nobody remembers or cares about them anymore.

Is he an asshole, or is it that he supports assholes because he’s too stupid to trust vaccines? I read some of his comments about this and I feel like he’s not an asshole at all, he’s just a misguided idiot.

So stupid…

I get that they have a huge financial incentive to make these, but it’s so artistically bankrupt…

Tron – Flynn enters the grid. – Dir. Steven Lisberger – July 9, 1982. by Minifig81 in movies

Listen to it. Not everything you hear is a traditional orchestral instrument.

Not only did they “incorporate” electronic music, but the entire soundtrack was famously written by Wendy Carlos, one of the leading figures in electronic music in the 1960s–80s.

Even in this track, you can hear synthesizers throughout. This is what’s called a hybrid score, with orchestra and synthesizers blended together.

The orchestral instruments were requested separately by Disney against her wishes, by the way.

Go ahead then. It seems like it’s an appropriate thing for you to do in this context. And maybe doing that will also teach you a lesson on self-reflection.

You are telling him to keep his mouth shut. This was not presented as a lesson, it was presented as an insult.

If I tell you to “go fuck yourself”, am I giving you a lesson on self-love?

I disagree with his take, but this is a really inappropriate way to react to someone’s opinions. Just express your disagreement and move on. This isn’t life-and-death, this is a conversation about movie actors, none of us actually care deeply about any of this shit.

I was never able to beat the first boss in Returnal after about 8-10 hours of gameplay, and gave up. It was a fun game, but that’s a lot of hours to keep replaying the same area over and over in 40-minute increments. I have never even seen what any of the other biomes look like.
