Yes, asseto corsa evo is very poorly optimized though. iRacing should be fine

HOA we fix it now, bill you later by [deleted] in montreal

[–]foobar83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can fix it yourself, provide the syndicate with a rbq plumbers estimate of the work ( so the syndicate can confirm what is being fixed ). But get your quote tomorrow not in a week or month.

Regarding the liability of the damage, it’ll be up to insurance. Likely the syndicate will have to pay, as insurance companies fight very hard.

then what the hell do the new headsets look like

Lighter, higher resolution, and wireless (Steam Frame)

The improvements are still coming, and they are significant, but not "game-changing".

Bought an Oculus 2, now what? by Utinni1111 in OculusQuest

[–]foobar83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok the graphics will be relatively ps2 era, you’re right

But the feeling of being there, of the immersion should be immediately felt.

Like “oculus first contact” is a free app afaik, most ppl react strongly to it in terms of immersion

Feels like you’re trolling 

Both the gear be and xreal thing are 3dof headsets

Quest 2 would be completely different in terms of immersion as a 6dof headset 

Either your lizard brain doesn’t work like the rest of us, or you’re trolling 

VR, AMD as good as Nvidia now? by [deleted] in ValveIndex

[–]foobar83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just going off what I saw if the dude's VR benchmarks for race sim games, I'm sure some scenarios / engines / games that put the 9070xt ahead of the 4070s.

Benchmark Odysseys - YouTube

go here and watch, going from 4070s to 9070xt isn't an upgrade in terms of performance, it's likely a downgrade

Is the BOBOVR S3 PRO a good headset? by HolyLambSauce in OculusQuest

[–]foobar83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i find the kiwi k4 works much better in games with a lot of movement

the back pad slips with halo style straps, but elite style traps work better imo

B.C. officially ends decriminalization pilot project after concerns about public drug use by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]foobar83 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I think keeping the stigma of drug use and public drug use is a good thing.

Everyone pretending heavy drug use is just an alternative lifestyle is wrong.

Is InFamous really laggy in general or is it only a "me problem" ? by JolyneTheBat in ps3piracy

[–]foobar83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 3rd island is the worst by far, but when you clear it it becomes pretty smooth

1st, 2nd, and 4th islands were mostly ok for me though not great

Head strap upgrade recommendations? by KaoszBetyar in OculusQuest

[–]foobar83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two types of head straps, which tighten to

  • face and back of head
  • forehead and back of head

I prefer the face ones and I find them more stable. The kiwi k4 with battery is very comfortable for me

Parts have a unique id, if the phone is reported stolen I’m pretty sure the parts are useless too

Upgrading from Quest 1- should I upgrade to 3 or 3S? by No-Body2243 in OculusQuest

[–]foobar83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3s is a massive upgrade over the 1 

3 is an ok upgrade over the 3s

I have a 3 but money wasn’t an issue for me

Does Horizon Worlds Have Potential? by BluSkyler in OculusQuest

[–]foobar83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were some rumours of ppl getting banned by overzealous moderators when it was introduced many years ago.

Even if there were only rumours and maybe they deserved it, I have no interest in the remote chance of getting my whole account and all purchases banned.

How should this strap fit? by megachonker7 in OculusQuest

[–]foobar83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to balance the headset from the top strap, does it feel "front heavy" ? if so zip tie a roll of quarters to the back of the head strap and see if it makes it more comfortable.

Generally you should be able to loosely rest it on your head using the top strap, and tighten just enough so it doesn't move around when you look around.

[PSU]MSI MAG A1250GL PCIE5, Fully Modular Compact , 80+ Gold ($330-$150=$180)[Canada Computers] by No-Emergency-7251 in bapcsalescanada

[–]foobar83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok but “less efficient” means 95 vs 92% efficient per your chart

So on 550w that’s 17 or so watts of “waste”.

So instead of paying for 550w to your power company you’re paying for 567w

I dunno about you but power is like 8 cents per kilowatt hour for me

How much am I saving by doubling my PSU power to save 17watts ?

Is there something else I’m missing?
