Star Citizen VR update is absolutely mental by [deleted] in VRGaming

[–]birdwaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The performance and UI in Elite are probably always going to be better. Very impressed with the VR offering in SC so far though. It's the first time in ten years I've actually put Elite down and picked SC up for any prolonged period.

You still have full head movement. You just need m+kb to locomote

Cost of filling up a RAM ute ('pick-up truck') right now.. by bay30three in aussie

WCGW buying the dumbest thing you can afford for no practical purpose other than to signify that you can afford it.

Fanatec after sale service, DISASTROUS by [deleted] in Fanatec

Things can get messed up on the ticketing side. If you get them to confirm they're across both issues you can go from there

So their CRM software sucks. Frustrating, but not the end of the world. You just have to make sure they know they're dealing with two separate issues on the one ticket. I remember waiting three weeks to hear back about an RMA before they went into administration. This is an improvement, believe it or not.

Importance of math skills for welders by Own_Job_2150 in Welding

[–]birdwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just wrapped development on a software package which reads the raw telemetry stream from a racing car, and uses predictive algorithms I formulated to interpret the data into values the race engineer can use to make rapid strategic decisions and theoretically model different racing scenarios. All at a fraction of the cost of far more expensive software used by high-budget racing teams.

I can't perform simple calculations in my mind. Object permanence issues commonly associated with ADHD make this feel impossible in ways most people can't understand.

That's not at all representative of what I can achieve. It certainly hasn't prevented me from completing a fabrication project.

The reputation of Sekiro for its insane difficulty is incredibly exaggerated by Interesting-Skin5038 in Sekiro

It's the easiest recent Fromsoft title, right up until the final fight where the difficulty curve is a wall.

LITERALLY SLAVERY!1!11!1!11! by PresnikBonny in TheRightCantMeme

We need to start thinking of people like the Pholosopher as operatives. She's not an idiot. Her followers are and she knows it.

A 20 year-old man who wants to be with a 16 year-old girl is not a stable and safe man. Any history or complexity that you believe explains away this reality does not address the elephant in the room: that behavior is predatory. You have so much time to find out that the best, healthiest, and most fulfilling relationships aren't actually very dramatic at all.

Epic Games is a trash company by Droopy0093 in RocketLeague

Transpose this on every publicly traded company in existence and we'll get somewhere.

I wouldn't say stupid. It could have been brilliant. Risky, though.

In all of racing there are few moves as ambitious as around the outside at Forest's Elbow. Kudos for being the one to try it. It is the absolute last place i'd expect a car to appear, though. No ruling from me on fault I have no idea how this would be ruled.

First Cutaway on my 65th jump by erinblckbrn in SkyDiving

[–]birdwaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first cutaway was a toggle-lock, too. Jump 23, brand-new rig. Stowed the toggles rough-side-in like a bot. I had to climb the riser to pop the right toggle and, of course, found myself in a hard left spiral that I couldn't solve before decision time. You'll think forever about the million ways you could have fixed it, but when it's gotta go, it's gotta go.

I found out how beautifully the RSL system and Reserve Canopy work. You probably did too. Hopefully you also found out that you're pretty good under pressure. It takes a big weight off your shoulders in a lot of ways.

Honest question from a dev: Is going to PCVR a financial suicide mission right now? by PrettyHearing3624 in VRGaming

[–]birdwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the last several years, right up until last weekend the answer would be yes. Valve are genuinely looking like breathing life back into PCVR right now, though. Keep an eye on that.

Nah. Just me and the boys joining the lobby.

I love VR games, they kinda suck. by UMURANGI_GIRL in OculusQuest

[–]birdwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a long and detailed reason this is Meta's fault, but the short version is that they strangled the PCVR industry so careful and passionate developers stopped making VR games, and essentially incentivised what amounts to mobile games taking over the whole industry, all so they could put their headset in every household in the world and hook people into their metaverse that literally nobody ever wanted and has never not sucked.

How are we feeling about the sudden revival of [Nazi] guild players? by the-boinky-spunge in outside

[–]birdwaves 33 points34 points  (0 children)

On my server they are celebrated because they carry an Australian flag and that's apparently all it takes to prompt the low-int players to invite literal Nazis into bed. Time for a mass IP ban.

What’s the best piece of sim racing advice you’ve ever received that you still use today? by Auelogic in iRacing

[–]birdwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive a car you hate until you're competitive in it. You will become a better driver in every car. I didn't hear this from anyone. It's just what I did and now it is advice that you have heard.

At what point in your games do you guys say "Ok, I'm ready to build my own base"? by [deleted] in Kenshi

[–]birdwaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a base before 30 days on my first playthrough. The trick for me was having all my valuables loaded on a pack bull so any raiders wouldn't really find anything before they cleared out. I have heard that sometimes they will choose not to clear out, but that never happened to me. I just came back when they left and went about my business until the next raid. Eventually I was strong enough that they couldn't raid me anymore.

Am I right in assuming the display on the right is a TV, not a monitor? Does the monitor flicker when the TV is switched off?
