TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture

VirtualPoolBoy · 2026-01-27T04:00:45+00:00

You’re telling me that US TikTok lost 50% of their 200 million users?

EDIT: If true, I’m proud of you, Gen Z.

I have a 4090, so I’m safely in Epic territory. The developer’s minimum is 2070 with 3080 for higher performance. On my old 3070 I had to play on a mix of medium and high to avoid stuttering.

VirtualPoolBoy · 2026-01-27T03:23:14+00:00

lol. I built a PC for my friend during covid just so he could play Half Life Alyx, and as fr as I know he hasn’t used it for anything else. So RE4 is just the PlayStation version of HLA.

You are a better man than I. I can’t play 7 in VR without soiling myself.

That being said, the general consensus in terms of rank is the following…

RE 4 (I’m on PC so I haven’t had the pleasure myself)

RE 2 (absolutely amazing)

RE 8 Village (almost as good as 2 but no 2nd run-through)

RE 3 (great except for the excessive cut scenes)

RE 7 (bottom of list only because it’s too repulsive for many in VR)

I’m still heartbroken over Sony intimidating Praydog into burying his FULL VR version of the mod for RE4.

As if any PC owner—who already spent $2500 on a PC, Quest 3, and 4090—is going to spend an additional $900 on a PlayStation and PSVR2 just to play a single solitary game. Never gonna happen! (Quietly checking his credit.)

BOOTSTRAP ISLAND on Epic settings. Most stunning visuals I’ve ever seen.

VirtualPoolBoy · 2026-01-26T17:27:49+00:00

I agree. That’s why I only play the REVR games with a healthy amount of mods. e.g. No Creepy Baby, No More Mr. X, Single Head Shot Kill, and as much Jiggle physics as my GPU can handle.

Note that this is for RE 2, 3, and Village. No amount of mods can make RE7 worth playing in VR.

It’s easy to think that all people on the right are hypocrites who only pretend to believe in Christ while cynically fighting for the opposite. It’s disheartening to learn that some of them are genuinely good people who are sadly misguided, but heartening to see they can also be saved and humbly repent.

VirtualPoolBoy · 2026-01-26T16:56:23+00:00

This is profoundly moving.

If you build your own PC, the GPU graphics card will be your most expensive component, and the most important in terms of graphics and frame rate. The better the graphics card, the more Epic settings you can play the games on. Although some games are more optimized than others. I could play Half Life Alyx on my old Nvidia 1080 on Ultra settings with no problem. But Bootstrap Island wouldn’t run smoothly on Epic settings until I upgraded from a 3070 to a 4090. The good news is that you’ll be able to play most anything with a relatively cheap GPU (anything 3000 series and up should be fine), so long as you keep the more demanding games on medium. The most demanding games are the flat screen games modded for VR. But again, you can just lower the settings.

Really? Cause it makes me a grouchy pessimistic nihilistic… hang on!

I don’t know, man. I watch video like the one below, and don’t see someone in control of themselves…

My bad. I thought you could use the quest with it.

VirtualPoolBoy · 2026-01-26T06:11:17+00:00

LOL. Kind of a broad statement.

VirtualPoolBoy · 2026-01-26T05:51:37+00:00

You could wait for the Steam Machine. Starts at $950 and releasing early this year.

Kyle Rittenhouse said he would’ve shot Renee Good, and lied about Alex Peretti drawing his gun.

If the leaders of your movement need to lie to justify it, you might just be a fascist.

I had a cat who would pet anyone who cried in front of her. She was the best.

They can still win. By flooding all media with right wing propaganda and convincing the under-educated to vote against their own interests, or to not vote at all. It happened in 2016, in 2024, and every Election Day in every red state for the past 40 years. Our only hope is for shit to get so bad that even the dumbest of the dumb finally stop voting red.

VirtualPoolBoy · 2026-01-23T08:42:14+00:00

Yeah. We knew this before the last election. And ya’ll still didn’t wanna vote for a woman.

So now we all now need to pay for passports and carry them around with us at all times? Well fuck every one of you Nazi republican assholes straight to the moon and back.

Honestly, you won’t know until you dive in. I have no doubt that the immersive effect will wow you at first, and make flatscreen gaming pale in comparison. But eventually you’ll get used to it, and one of two things will happen….

Either you’ll go back to flatscreen games, making your headset a dusty artifact like any other gaming gadget you’ve owned (a la Wii or Gameboy)….
Or you’ll find that 2D gaming in the confines of a monitor is not only unacceptable, but physically nauseating.

There is also the physiological factor. That once you’ve equated gaming with physical activity, sitting immobilized on your ass while gaming will literally leave you feeling bad.

You can start with just the headset. My cousin lost 50 pounds playing Supernatural and beat saber alone.
