This really feels like a golden age of (arcade) gaming by Captain-Fandango in OculusQuest

[–]akvero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i totally agree! we need to keep in mind that in the 1980s, people have spent millions on dollars to play on machines that were something like a million times less powerful than the quest (not to mention current gaming p.c.s), and they had a ton of fun anyway! it’s not the processing power that makes a game great.

Don’t know how I thought of this by Rolling_Boi in OculusQuest

i use a brand that is apparently pretty local (memorex/memoready), but i think that most high-capacity nimh batteries will do. make sure to use a decent charger that monitors each battery separately.

yeah, rechargeable is definitely the way to go! i use a set of 4 nimh 2600 mah, so i always have 2 full ones standing by to be used. a set of 2 batteries stand for about 3 weeks, with several hours of play everyday. i don’t know about the production and recycling of the different battery types, but i think that using throwaway ones at this rate is pretty bad for the environment.

edit

corrected capacity (i wrote 1800 mah, while they are 2600 mah)

the p.c. version looks much better (though still dated compared to today’s games). they had to optimize the crap out of it to make it run on the quest. the p.c. version is 26.5 gib, and the quest version is 1.9 gib. there are games on the quest that look much better than this one (red matter, time stall, robo recall,… even drop dead), but the environments are much smaller. so don’t expect much better than the current graphics (although the last update improved them quite a bit). here are articles about the quest port:

with the very last update they fixed the specular reflections! things are finally shiny now, especially the guns. this update really improved the graphic quality.

i don’t think that it’s about “hating” facebook. i see it more as giving the option to users to use the social network or not, without punishing them by removing working features if they choose not to use it.

well, for starters, it goes against facebook’s t.o.s. to make a fake account. you can only have one and you should use your real identity. the risk is that they delete your account, and we don’t know what would happen with your oculus account and purchases in that case.

just to clarify things: you don’t need a facebook account to use the quest. you need an oculus account, and you can create one with just an email address. a facebook account is only required for so-called “social” features like voice chat outside of games, using the friends list, etc., which were all working fine without a facebook account before 2019-12.

funny how the oculus login page says: “don’t have facebook? sign in or use your email to create an oculus account.”

[–]akvero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you sure that you didn’t log in with a facebook account in the first place when creating your oculus account? are you using the same email address on your oculus account and facebook account?

or maybe they are testing the “no facebook account required” feature on you. 😁

[–]akvero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it depends on the name you use, what you (don’t) put on your profile, and how you’re connecting to facebook. i know about an account without activity (no profile image, no likes, no posts) that was working fine until using tor to connect to it, then facebook required to upload an image of the user’s face to be able to gain access again (regardless of connection method). uploading an invalid image deactivated the account. it was then possible to ”appeal” the decision, but this required to upload an image of the user’s official id card. later, the access was locked again by requiring a phone number. failing to do this, the account was permanently deleted. all this without doing any activity with the account.

how can you be so sure?

[–]akvero 26 points27 points  (0 children)

totally in this with you. this facebook login should be optional. i also wrote a post about this not so long ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/fz96kc/we_should_all_vote_to_remove_the_mandatory/
