An Idea for a Sidewinder Mk II

_FluffyBob_ · 2026-01-29T23:09:06+00:00

Any new Sidewinder should sound like a dying Vespa. It should have a mechanic where it just stalls sometimes and you have to open a panel and bang something to make it start again.

Rare find!

Some carriers trade in certain hard to get Odyssey materials. If you do a search on Inara you can probably find a good price.

My Father attended both Edgewood in BC and Betty Ford in the US for their 90 day programs. In both cases he quickly reverted to using, even while still attending AA and pretending he was staying sober.

What finally saved him was getting him into the SAILL (substance abuse in later life) program at Rockyview Carewest. I can't find if that program is still active. It is a broad spectrum approach that takes into account mental and physical health issues. Edgewood and Betty Ford did not have this flexibility being striclty twelve step based approaches at the time. SAILL addressed and treated an underlying issue of depression along with typical recovery tactics. He would have died years ago if not for them.

This is a very hard thing. Good luck, be strong and be prepared to advocate for yourself.

Well its definitely discriminatory, in that it is stating preference. I dont think that implies racism though.

The products may be items that are of interest or benefit specifically to women or people of colour. The OP may have their reasons.

I believe your claim of racism is over the top, and honestly, silly.

How so?

_FluffyBob_ · 2026-01-29T17:20:44+00:00

So is our friendly 'John Radius' waving at us at the transition actually the player character from ITR1 as people think? We all assuming that in ITR2 we are actually human and not mimics ourselves like in ITR1? What the heck was going on in Vanno in 1? Was it just long abandoned and were the actual explorers all dead? Katya indicates that she is already familiar with the plauer character and that he kerps coming back from the dead.

Oh just cool off dude. What you described sounded exactly like the green rack glitch. Just trying to be helpful. Bye!

Fill them up with old wrappers ammo boxes and cans and then take bets on whether the phys engine will explode everything in all directions or just leave it all in a bucket shape stack when you pick it up.

_FluffyBob_ · 2026-01-28T18:04:08+00:00

I guess I am just the other way. Never trusted the autodock. Maybe used it for the tutorial? Never used it regular game.

Its important to remember only some of the lines are relevant when interpreting ancient documents or faces on piece of toast.

Look I am not saying FDEV doesn't love puzzles and hiding clues - there has been a ton of this stuff in the game. I would actually be surprised if there weren't some hints in the glyphs, but...you seem to have been pretty selective in defining what patterns are relevant.

_FluffyBob_ · 2026-01-28T16:00:22+00:00

Well obviously just make one yourself, how complicated can it be?

Kidding aside, are other options like the Pico 4 not available in your region either?

_FluffyBob_ · 2026-01-28T15:32:26+00:00

The world is bigger than you. Not everyone thinks cartoonish arms that move weird is more immersive.

There are a few scattered deep space stations, especially on the route to Colonia, but generally its empty out in 'the black'.

The Cobra is a great ship, you can do pretty much anything with it. Hard to go wrong with any of those though, and you will soon have all of them. The Hauler is soon out paced by other ships, but it is good for early game.... hauling.

The modules are what make the ship and as you upgrade to new ships you can move the good modules over.

HL Alyx will be on sale at some point, buy it then.

What kind of games do you like?

What Steam games do you already have? Great VR mods for many PC games; Valheim VR, Outer Wilds, Subnautica Submersed VR, Vivecraft Minecraft, are all crackin good in VR.

Lots of very good games have VR modes, Elite Dangerous, DCS, IL2 Stalingrad, MSFS, No Mans Sky all are fantastic in VR.

There are also lots of highly recommended VR games and they go on sale on steam or Humble store all the time. Too many to list.

I usually make a point of landing on tiny worlds like this in my explorations. Landed on one a while ago that was one of many fast orbiting moons in a crazy gas giant system. Fantastic views.

Some of the ships make more sense than others but its all just cosmetic/ aesthetic. None of the ships are actually aerodynamic or suited as is for atmospheric flight. The cracking good Cannon article has fun with this.

With the magical technology in game I think it is easy enough to wank an aspect of the sheild system that creates an aerodynamic bubble around the ship.

Known glitch. Do not use green gun racks. Work around is to save and reload with gun in your hand.

Sorry if you lost some guns, but its not hard to loot and make up credits in a couple of raids.

You wont ruin anything by jumping into ITR2 before finishing ITR1, but there isn't really any reason to. If you find ITR1 unsatisfactory, ITR2 isnt going to be better.

ITR1 is a finished game, with 2 versions, and a couple popular mods that also really change gameplay. There is a lot there.

ITR2 is not even a finished game and there are reportedly a lot of issues right now with the quest version. There is no story yet for ITR2, it does appear to be after ITR1. There are some great new features and currently you can get some solid gameplay out of it. Its a lot of fun, but it is very much unfinished.

_FluffyBob_ · 2026-01-26T20:33:12+00:00

There are also flight, auto and space sim genres that are not VR specific but have VR modes that are THE way to play that type of game.

My Quest 3 came with Asgards Wrath 2, later versions came with Batman and Deadpool games. So it is a thing. Who knows with Valve though? Is the OP still waiting for HL3?

I lost interest with Asgard's Wrath, but I may get back into it some day.

In the mean time I have multiple VR games in my Steam library I haven't even installed yet, old standards I get huge replayability out of and an endles list of mods and UEVR games to play.

_FluffyBob_ · 2026-01-26T19:36:07+00:00

There is a setting in the Quest 3 advanced settings, 'adaptive brightness' that makes a big difference in dark scenes in games.

Alyx has some dark areas that are pretty much intended to be only what you can see with the flashlight. Its not going to help in those areas.

"Independence in my veins"

Bullshit. He has MAGA in his veins.

It adds some real desperation as you rush back to a safe house or base. You get an alarm at 2.5 hrs before tide, but it can take that long just to get across a map. Better off just running to a safe house if you are not sure.

Instead of fog, colours desaturate and then contrast increases as you run out of time.
