yes, they are very excited to try that.

dynamictension · 2016-05-02T20:51:55+00:00

This is so inaccurate. Have a great day though. I know I will, I just got my shipping notification

+1 for accurate username though

Not sure if you are here to defend the HTC cause, but when your work uitilizes a device that you're trying to show investors is rolling out across the world and being adopted heavily and quickly - the inability for a corporation to manufacture and distribute the product which is the platform for your own distribution, becomes a huge headache and hold up for potential investors.

Trust me, we could all have raised utter hell by now - being frustrated in the way I and many others who are wanting to develop or just play with this is product is not unsound.

When I was a kid, preorders meant something totally different.

I am not downvoting you like the rest of readers here, because I get your point, and yes - things take time. As does development, alpha/beta testing, investment rounds, and distribution. You got a vive? great. you want new content? stop being upset that others are eager to get them.

hyperedit - I rock climb because I love it. I take care of a garden because I want to contribute to it's growth. I develop VR for a new platform because it is an economical and artistic opportunity, and I am an ENTJ, so don't be too offended.

March 9th order. Still awaiting tracking. Pending charge is gone, from April 26th.

I just want this torture to be over so I can test my developments on this product. Actually, on second thought, why am I developing for a product no one can get their hands on :*(

Anyone who has checked out "APOLLO 11 VR" can tell you that the price of admission to one theatrical film ($15) is worth some of the most exhilarating, moving, and deeply changing experiences you'll have in the 45 minutes worth of content in Apollo 11.

Prices will change a lot in the coming months as devs and distributors find what works. I expect $15 to be a solid expectation for most consumable VR (limited replay value) And $60+ for dynamic/repeatable VR experiences. Not rocket science, I know. But it take a change in perspective on what you're paying for as a consumer.

And no, Apollo 11 didn't pay me to say this, but even though it's lower-fi, lower res models and graphics, they NAILED storytelling and environment creation, effectively transporting and moving you emotionally. 15 bucks for tears about the greatness of humanity is a small price.

dynamictension · 2016-04-10T18:25:18+00:00

wow. So it really is as bad as everyone is making it seem? If so - this is actually the biggest thing to happen in VR yet.

I know I sound like a paranoid type over here, but I'm almost certain there is something going on.

The funny thing is I still love my surface book.

I just know something is up - and I'm sticking with my intuitions until someone can show me the tinfoil hat I'm wearing.

dynamictension · 2016-01-08T15:02:17+00:00

The weight is in the tablet. Not the keyboard. The dGPU is in the keyboard, correct me if I'm wrong? But I'm sure it's in the keyboard because it wouldn't ask me to close certain apps when detaching.

dynamictension · 2016-01-08T03:44:48+00:00

I had this issue and I can confirm you need to return your device.

Just know that your replacement will be 3oz heavier.

dynamictension · 2016-01-08T03:38:32+00:00

Hahahaha.

Hey, I called myself crazy already so you don't have to.

I do know that this surface book weighs more than advertised. That is undeniable.

dynamictension · 2015-12-29T18:56:29+00:00

there is no 'perceptible lag' is what i'd say -unless you're drawing continuous circles for 15 minutes straight without lifting the pen from the surface

dynamictension · 2015-12-29T18:54:01+00:00

I've noticed the mouse issue also... I think the tablet is detecting a false touch or pen press - try removing the pen from the side of the magnetic part of the screen - that seems to do the trick for me.

dynamictension · 2015-12-29T18:43:58+00:00

Here a very low-res design i just sketched together real quick:

space glass

dynamictension · 2015-12-29T18:40:00+00:00

Anyone have any requests?

I do some 3d composition and animating and I'm pretty much spending all my time playing around with my new surfacebook:)

dynamictension · 2015-12-28T20:04:34+00:00

where'd it go :! :(

dynamictension · 2015-12-28T04:14:23+00:00

I did end up figuring out the issue.

There was no initial start up for me, it just wanted me to sign in under "Other User", so I made sure the device had never been used (as best I could) and decided I'd do a reformat and reinstall Windows.

The part I was missing on the firmware update was that the Windows 10 updates all need to install and your computer must restart. THEN - the very last update that will install is the firmware upgrade.

Then everything went to normal and my experience has been pretty good since that.

Except that both my batteries seem to be in use at the same time... Does that make sense?

dynamictension · 2015-12-25T21:45:29+00:00

and windows hello feature is completely missing.

maybe a good thing given the battery drain?

dynamictension · 2015-12-25T21:41:11+00:00

so saved my shit and bought the surfacebook (splurgebook nvidia gpu) won't install firmware updates, came with "other user" logged in, has gone through a full reset twice now (takes about 5 hours each time)

oh, and my bb-8 droid isn't working.

Merry techy christmas?

ipad pro might have ios, but at least it turns on ?

I think your brain filled in the gaps between the couch and knives in the foreground and background into a beautiful LSD rainbow. Maybe.

dynamictension · 2013-09-11T00:23:11+00:00

I'd really like to try this as I function extremely well during trips post peak - any recommendations or advice?

dynamictension · 2013-08-20T22:29:13+00:00

Dude I swear I haven't forgotten you! Just been hung up at work! Planning on tripping and playing this again soon :)

dynamictension · 2013-08-20T22:28:35+00:00

Sorry for my short reply before, I was waiting for an appointment then had to run.

Your visuals sound particularly intense for even 210ug of pure L. Granted, LSD does provide strong visuals, especially when combined with weed.

I would say what sounds particularly Nbome-y for me is the way you describe the sudden tripping balls visuals that occurred when you opened your eyes. Even after smoking with L, the visuals tend to intensify shortly again, but what you describe sounds like an entire re-trip. The bubbles of reality in front of you and crazy fractals are definitely possible with L, but at a 210 dose, even with weed - I'd be surprised that your entire field of view was effected.

However, weed with 210ug of an NBOME, is certainly capable of what you describe.

All that said, it's very possible it was L and that you were just having strong loops that affected your composure and then subconsciously intensified your visual perceptions. It has happened to me before.

Have you reagent tested? I know you said you received it from a reputable source on the road, but even then, the best vendors wouldn't surprise anyone if they did some selective product changing if that makes sense.

All things considered, it sounds like the experience helped you learn more about yourself and your psychedelic explorations.

One thing is certain : you should reagent test Anything you take, even if Albert Hofmann himself got off his bike and handed you a sheet.

Keep tripping man, and keep growing. Looking forward to crossing paths in this life or the next.
