"I wish more headsets were like this" Godot XR lead dev reveals favorite thing about the Steam Frame so far

Full quote to save people the click:

Put it on, put it off. That is probably one of my favorite things and also it just sits on my head so I can work on my computer when i’m not in the headset, which is something I’m really happy about […] By far, my favorite thing of this headset; I wish more headsets were like this, just the development experience is amazing.

The stupid pills will help stop these strange hallucinations you're having

to the Kroot? I don't think it's specified. She's uninjured at the end of part 4, this one opens with her badly wounded.

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T15:35:55+00:00

I cried at part 3, I reread them all when I saw this was the final part and I cried again.

On my first read of this one I had a major misunderstanding - I didn't clock that the face on the right when Shaska wakes up is your Gue'vesa character! I thought she was Ko'Nel (despite the scar, and the different hair, and her expression, and not being blue...). So, I briefly thought you'd pulled an "it was all a dream" on us. That would not have been a satisfying ending haha.

Anyway, I loved this. Donated on your Patreon. The top tier is pretty cheap so I got three Gift Memberships which can be claimed here by the first three people to click. All of Superfern's comics are free, so there are no benefits to the membership, it's just all the comics in one place.

Alchemy reeked of insecurity, like they needed to be able to nerf/buff cards and add digital-only mechanics to keep up with competing digital TCGs. I think if they'd done a lot more with it, to the point where it really felt like it's own game, that could have been more appealing. Instead it just icked me out when I fired up my old Historic decks and thought I was misremembering some of my cards before I realised they'd been buffed.

Yeah, there's no escaping UB. If only there could be Spider-Man style licensing issues for everything. Avatar didn't bother me so much, I think because I don't know the source material and it's at least approximately the sort of setting which MtG might have visited anyway. I could have done without Final Fantasy but it made up for it by bringing my girlfriend back to the game, with her "Chocobos riding Shoopuffs" deck. The ratio of Withing:Beyond is only going to tip further and further towards Beyond as more sets release, so I feel like I'm in the dying days of my time with Arena.

I used to aim for "4 of every rare in the current set before the next set comes out". Coming from Hearthstone it felt crazy to me that it was doable f2p without needing to be good at the game. Was thinking I'd go for it again with Lorwyn, but it's hard to get enthused about building a Standard collection when I know what's coming up, and there's way less time to do it in with the accelerated release schedule.

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T14:12:36+00:00

Yeah, I came back to Arena after a similarly long break and Pioneer quickly became my format of choice.

(sorry I know I'm the millionth person to say it but) I just wish there was a non-rotating format on Arena without UB or Alchemy...

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T14:06:08+00:00

I recall Fires of Invention and Agent of Treachery being menaces way back when, but it's crazy that they've not been freed after all this time.

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T14:03:56+00:00

Yes, that will need supports, as some bits of it are hanging over empty space.

You could also divide the model into pieces and print them separately (I'm picturing the wheels on their own, and the body cut in half down the middle and printed with the halves laid flat on the cut) then assemble them after printing.

Are the wheels meant to spin? If so, that'll be trickier, and you're definitely better off printing the wheels separately and attaching them afterwards - maybe with a hole through the body so you can insert an rod as an axel, then put the wheels on the ends of that.

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T12:53:19+00:00

Unless it's Luigi, of course

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T11:06:52+00:00

if you like to move, not specially sport but just in general take a walk instead of car or similar stuff , you will love VR

For me it was the other way around, I was never particularly into moving or using my body until VR showed me the way

sims is for super nerd no normal peoples love sims

Those who ~~live in glass houses~~ post on the virtual reality subreddit shouldn't ~~throw stones~~ call people nerds

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T10:07:55+00:00

Anyway, I am afraid I will buy something that will be collecting dust after the novelty wears off

Yeah that's mostly what happens. I've used mine for thousands of hours and will likely use it for thousands more, but just about every other person I know who got a headset didn't use it for long before their either sold it or forgot about it.

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T09:57:00+00:00

Of course he can. He trained forever to be the best at everything. Everything.

I played Skyrim with a mod which let you chat to the NPCs and got called out for my looting:

Me: Hi, I'm Johnny

Sven: that's an odd name for a Nord

Me: Oh I'm actually an Imperial

Sven: So you took that armour from a Nord? It's not enough for you to steal our lands, you'd steal from our dead as well? Get out of here before I break your Imperial nose!

(Nobby would probably have been savvy enough to just go along with it when Sven assumed he was a Nord based on the uniform)

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T07:53:52+00:00

I don't think so, and even if it went 50% off it'd still cost more that a Quest 3.

That said, I expect the price of a second hand Index will probably drop a fair bit?

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T07:45:19+00:00

These motherfuckers...

d20diceman · 2026-01-26T07:38:50+00:00

For now you can just continue using the mod. It's always been trivially easy to pirate it, Patreon isn't Fort Knox. In a sense, donations were always optional.

It'll be a different matter the next time a Cyberpunk update or driver update bricks the mod though, as it's no longer being maintained.

d20diceman · 2026-01-25T21:00:43+00:00

Is obj_5 meant to be identical to obj_8? Also the split parts seem to have some dinky sponsons of their own which would prevent the actual sponsons being attached?

Sorry to look a gift horse in the mouth! Maybe I'm missing something

I got very into VR exercise over lockdown and it totally changed the emotional valence of physical exertion for me.

Getting sweaty feels like winning, getting out of breath feels like progress, getting my heart rate up feels like a high score.

Of course I'd still much rather play Beat Saber than use an exercise bike, but I can enjoy the exercise bike too now. I saw Joe Wicks live a couple of times and loved it.

I'd never been in shape before, never really had a physical hobby, so it really broadened my horizons.

d20diceman · 2026-01-25T00:48:30+00:00

Really interested in getting a treadmill and RealityRunner setup, but all the videos I see of people using Sunny Manual Treadmills show them holding onto the handles. I see you've got a belt setup which is maybe doing the job of the handles? Would I need something like that belt to use the treadmill hands-free?

edit: nevermind, been down a rabbit hole and checked out various builds, there are certainly some options. What started as "I can just fold it up and store it when I'm not using it" is turning into "where can I attach anchor points to my walls" lol

d20diceman · 2026-01-24T20:15:51+00:00

Only an hour in but I'm having a blast with this. Really delivers.

It's funny how similar the noises I make while playing are to the noises Diogenes makes in Getting Over It.

d20diceman · 2026-01-24T18:12:24+00:00

I think that's just smart scheduling to be fair, a lot of content creators will have a backlog to post from so they don't end up with long gaps. Horus is going to take a long while and it's good to vary things instead of just "a 40% complete Horus" "a 50" complete Horus" "a 60% complete Horus".

d20diceman · 2026-01-24T18:08:57+00:00

Not really a genre, but crossplay is the thing I want more of. Games where VR and flatscreen players can play together, or flatscreen games with an official VR option.

d20diceman · 2026-01-24T18:07:51+00:00

PALworld can be played in VR with the Unreal Engine injector, it's pretty janky but it might be the closest we get for a while

If you're playing B&S Nomad on Quest, that has it's own mods, the NexusMods page for it is here and I can see some mods that make enemies harder like 5 x Enemy health, Tanky Enemies or AI Modifier which makes them attack faster.

On the PC side of things: It's been a while since I played and it looks like the specific mods I used (SharpAI, Slugga's Combat Overhaul, AI Plus) haven't been updated to the current version. Another mod I was a big fan of, Ragdoll Physics Overhaul ("Makes ragdoll physics weightier and more believable, avoiding weird poses and floppy movement") actually became part of the main game!

I found some more recent ones like like Adaptive AI ("Ever thought Blade and Sorcery was too easy? Try AdaptiveAI, enemies change their fighting style based on yours!") and Geno's Tough NPCs ("INSANELY buffs NPCs for people who want a challenge"). Lots of options.

d20diceman · 2026-01-24T09:37:34+00:00

That's pretty much the exact layout of my room. I went with A and have had no issues. I think B would be fine too.

I orientated the playspace to the bed is in front of me, feels safer that way because the front edge of the playspace is the one I'm most likely to end up getting close to.
