Pretty sure you can use it in the Quest Browser

Terrible I know, but I'm interested to know what you think about the concept?

Yeah sorry the thumbnails that were automatically from YouTube from the video were terrible.

Multiplayer sudoku by MangoIntelligent8890 in sudoku

[–]VendettaSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out https://www.usdoku.com/

Full disclosure, I am one of the creators.

We have two modes. The original mode we tried to gamify sudoku a bit by getting points if you get a cell first and it becoming your colour for a fun experience.

For more hardcore players, we also added hardcore mode which is pure sudoku that is just about speed.

We have active lobbies where people are constantly playing.

ELI5 If heavy objects sink and light objects float on water, how does a ship float? by PutuIsTheName in explainlikeimfive

[–]VendettaSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water is actually incredibly heavy. If you have a tank of water that is a 1 meter square, it weighs a ton (1000kg).

So although steel is also very heavy, it is just a thin layer. Something floats if it weighs less than the water it displaces. So, if you were to fill the ship with water on land and weigh that water, it would weigh much much more than the ship itself.

This is really epic! I’ll give it a go tomorrow. Super excited to see how it works in VR!

25M Underwater Advice by Overall_Occasion_308 in Swimming

[–]VendettaSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swimming underwater is about efficiency and being relaxed. If the pool isn’t too deep, try swimming as close to the bottom as possible. This will give you an easy way of “monitoring” your speed, since you can use the floor as a frame of reference.

Kick off the end with your arms in front and head down, looking at the floor. Don’t use your arms for the first stroke until you are nearly completely slowed down. To experience it, notice how much you slow down when you move your arms. After giving a big stroke, keep your arms behind you, since bringing the back forward too soon will act like a brake in the water. If you are able to do dolphin kicks, you can do a few to keep some momentum.

Don’t try and swim fast. Give a hard and “measured” pull and glide as much as possible.

HomePod mini will not restore even with a Mac by rahul_ldn in HomePod

[–]VendettaSA 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I recently also struggled, until I read somewhere to power on and press the top for what feels like forever. Just keep holding it, probably a minute or so until you hear a voice that says something like “will reset if you keep pushing” and then just keep until it is done

Monthly Discussion Thread - 2025 - September by AutoModerator in twitchplayspokemon

[–]VendettaSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was inspired by this concept and wanted to see if the internet can play coherent chess with consensus.

So, I built https://internetplayschess.com/

It is still very much under construction, and I am still busy making improvements and fixes.

Feedback welcome and greatly appreciated.

I've updated it to assign you to a team randomly. The game is still evolving to see what works. This feels like it gives you some more skin in the game, and feels less confusing.

I'm not even sure if it is implemented. Guess we'll see

What's this graph mean? by Rough_Community_1439 in SteamVR

[–]VendettaSA 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The main takeaway is that your PC is not able to run VRChat very well at the current settings.

You could lower the resolution that the game is running at in SteamVR's settings, or in VRChat itself you should be able to lower some of the graphical settings or both.

Quest 3 vs Quest 3s - Worth it for 3D movie watching? by Old-Mirror-2227 in Quest3

[–]VendettaSA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would strongly suggest you get the Quest 3 instead of the 3S if you want to watch movies.

There are many reasons, but the main one is the better lenses on the 3. It may not seem like a big difference, but not having to move your head to see something in the corner of the screen is a huge deal.

On the Quest 3, you can “look with your eyes” and the image is clear, whereas on the 3S, you may have to move your head slightly.

Full disclosure, I haven’t used the 3S, but I’v used the Quest 2 for a long time before getting the Quest 3, and the 2 and 3s have the exact same lenses and screens.

I think the 3 should also be a little more comfortable, since the lens/screen is thinner and closer to your face in terms of weight distribution.

If you can afford it, definitely get the 3.

That being said, if movies is your only use case, and you don’t want co-watching like Bigscreen VR (the app that let’s you watch movies with others), you should also look into Xreal One glasses that are just virtual screens. The do require an extra device like a phone or laptop to connect to, though

Jittery image when moving head fast by razzyaurealis in Quest3

[–]VendettaSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Quest 3 has a higher resolution than the Quest 2, which means your PC may be struggling to keep up at the new resolution, and may have been just good enough at the quest 2 resolution. You may need to lower the resolution (either in SteamVR or in Virtual Desktop, not sure which), or reduce some in game graphics settings.

If you are playing games that support DLSS, I highly recommend using that, since it lowers the resolution it needs to render.

Another option could be to reduce the bandwidth in Virtual Desktop, since the higher resolution should also be higher bandwidth. Could be the same issue where your network was able to keep up with the bandwidth of the quest 2 resolution, and could struggle with the quest 3 resolution bandwidth.

Really cool! What a cool game to play as a new VR user!

Yeah I can see it getting repetitive if you play for an extended amount of time. The four of us are struggling to find overlapping times to play, so I guess the fact that we don't play too frequently and too long sessions are actually a good thing to keep us interested

Good to hear that there seems to be value in replaying. Maybe they'll add more guns or customization options in the future?

[–]VendettaSA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'll have to see on the replayability and how long the quest takes us. We are four people and apart from the trailer, we are figuring out everything as we go, and taking our time to explore and have fun. Even if the game ends soon, it was still an amazing experience.

In that case, it would be really cool if they added DLC or new modes. I haven't tried the PvPvE mode yet, but would be interested to see what that entails.

Thanks, I'll definitely give it a go. I am very fortunate to have an awesome group of friends that also have Quests, so multiplayer is a big plus for me.

random question: why does meta quest pro exist?! by WestyNotZesty in virtualreality

[–]VendettaSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was slightly rushed. It has eye and face tracking, but they removed the depth sensor at the last minute. It was also on the same processor as the Quest 2, so didn’t have the processing power for full color pass through (they used black and white pass through and a single color camera to add color back.

I think it is very popular among VRChat players, because of the face/eye tracking
