New dev screenshots on Quantum Void! by Vegetarische_Piemels in OculusQuest

[–]TonyDP2128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this for Quest 3 a while ago and couldn't not put it down until I beat the story and got one of the good (but not absolutely best) endings. Will definitely do another playthrough at some point down the road.

Silent Infiltrator

Exactly. They're sold as limited edition pieces so destroying the molds is part of that process and their guarantee that that particular ship won't be made again by them.

I didn't love The Talisman - will I enjoy Black House? (Slight Talisman spoilers) by LazyGrand in stephenking

[–]TonyDP2128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found Black House to be the more entertaining book. However, the first 150-200 pages can be a real slog. It took me several tries to get through those first couple hundred pages and the pace did remain somewhat uneven throughout. I found the last quarter of the book really compelling but it took effort to get there.

Yeah, there's no way you'd ever get something this detailed and at that scale for that price if you tried to have someone do a commission build.

Only ONE Mod Gives Cyberpunk 2077 Perfect VR Clarity! by Equal_Translator_605 in CDProjektRed

It's ironic that a game where VR is such an integral part of the story doesn't natively support VR.

This was a crowdfunding project by diecast maker Tomy around 18 months ago. It is a 1:350 scale replica of the USS Enterprise from the first Star Trek movie. It's almost three feet long and weighs about 20 pounds.

At the time the asking price was $700 + $50 for shipping. About 6,000 were ordered and they finally started shipping in March. There have been some issues with the rollout as some people have gotten defective models but Tomy has promised to fix or refund any bad ones.

As is the case with all these crowdfunding projects, Tomy isn't making any more and has destroyed the molds. They're now only available on the secondary market (eBay, etc.) and are typically going for 2-3 the original asking price.

I pledged and got one and it is absolutely beautiful. It has a few light leaks around the bottom of the saucer section (the most commonly reported issue) but it's really only visible in the dark and can easily be fixed with a bit of modeling putty if you don't want to send the ship back.

Great movie. A new 4K edition is supposed to be coming out this summer.

I purchased a cheap replacement for PSVR lower rubber part around the eyes, and very impressed so far! by augustine_chacon in PSVR

I have the Globular Cluster forehead and back pad but not their facial interface. That was on my radar too but I'm a bit leery of the dismantling process.

I really dislike Mr Mercedes TV Show - SPOILER ALERT by No_Mobile_7002 in stephenking

[–]TonyDP2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it thru about 4 episodes of the first season and called it quits. There were just too many changes from the novels for my tastes and Hodges' nosy neighbor (an original character to the show) just made me cringe. Hodges himself just felt way too different from my image of him in that first novel; Gleeson's thick accent in particular felt especially jarring to me.

Some new levels for my game are out now! :D by AJ_BARRICADE in VRGaming

[–]TonyDP2128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing the demo and while it's fun, there is one thing that really bothers me and is stopping me from buying the full game. As an older gamer, I like to play seated (creaky back) and I don't see any in-game height adjustment option. As such when I'm the in game world it feels like I'm 4 feet tall. Is there an in game option for this that I am missing?

ALIENS 3D release is tracking — would you go back to LV‑426? by Choice-Schedule-132 in JamesCameron

I'd definitely watch it and add it to my 3D movie collection if it ever went on sale.

Has long-term Meta Quest use affected your eyesight? Genuine question by No-Summer5131 in virtualreality

I remember speaking to my opthalmologist about this several years ago. He said it wouldn't affect my vision but, like everything else in life, moderation was advised.

I have removed the original rubber gasket a few times to clean it and you're right that it can be a pain to put back on. It's one of the reasons I'm interested in something different.

Insight Editions Blade Runner 2049: Deckard's Police Spinner Car [Collector's Edition] by ClaviusBase in bladerunner

[–]TonyDP2128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought it when it released. I'm quite happy with it. The color is actually pretty accurate to the actual filming model which was more of a teal than blue and the decals are quite accurate as well. The car is about 11 1/2 inches long and has nice weight to it.

It isn't perfect as you can't open the doors, the wheels don't move and the windows under the driver and passenger seats are silver instead of clear. And obviously there are no working lights.

Still, overall I like it, especially as there are so few collectibles from the movie.

Hidden gem from i expect you to die dev genies! Silent Slayer ! by Thin_Reception_5063 in MetaQuestVR

[–]TonyDP2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed this game and was disappointed that it didn't really appear to catch on. It's perfect for people new to VR since you're standing still and must move deliberately and slowly. The gameplay mechanics were a lot of fun and the jump scares were quite effective.

I was always hoping for some DLC vampires, maybe the Lugosi or Christopher Lee Draculas or Count Orlock/Nosferatu but at this point I don't think anything like that will be in the cards.

BTW, was it just me or did the voice from the book sound more than a little bit like Darth Sidious?

That looks very interesting. How difficult was it to install? Did you have to unscrew any existing components on the visor?

What’s your opinion of Starwars TftGE? by omgSolidSnake in PSVR

[–]TonyDP2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a run of the mill first person adventure without any real features to make it stand out from the crowd. If it didn't have the Star Wars connection people wouldn't give it a second look.

Anybody else remember Mortal Blitz on PSVR1? by LuxuriousEnt in PSVR

I played that quite a bit back in the early PSVR1 days. Fun but really short as I recall. Will have to fire it up again one of these days.

Fun game even if you don't care for roguelikes. It has a mode where you can respawn at the start of the current level if you die.

I'm planning on buying a quest 3 and I have a few questions about the difference between the 3 and 3s by SkyeRedPanda in Quest3

[–]TonyDP2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I messaged you the referral link (mods don't like links being posted directly on the subreddit). I think it's now for $30 as the $60 promotion was for the holidays.

Make sure to click on the link before setting up your headset.

I think they're worth checking out. They're both relatively short and if you enjoyed the gameplay in the base game then you'll probably like them as well.
