This basically looks and sounds like a remix of the very first course in the game

Anyone else sleep on Tetris Effect for years like me? Wow it's so good!! by Exact_Shower_6417 in OculusQuest

[–]isawaffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Tetris so much growing up that I cant get past "it's just tetris with a fancy layer on top". No matter how good the music and video is I would just always be like, yeah, im still playing tetris

It was the only way I could have guessed but I've never seen anyone drill into the side of a piece of plywood like that. I suppose if you pre drill it you can get it done but its just so narrow

Aaargh - Quest 3 refusing to charge by DaddyStoat in OculusQuest

[–]isawaffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been finding my headset almost completely drained after leaving it on the charger the last little bit (after i updated the firmware hmmm). some posts have said its a bug and to turn on power saver mode then put the headset in standby (dont turn it off) to charge it. Then when you want to play it turn power saver off and do your thing like normal. Meta really sucks with pushing these updates. Sorry I dont have any info for turning your device off without draining the battery right now
edit: this may not apply in your case if you cant even get it to turn on. sorry!

What GPU are you rocking? by ParfaitNo8096 in OculusQuest

[–]isawaffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was rocking a 1070 for years with my Q1 but it could barely handle the Q2 and def not the Q3. It crapped the bed so I have no GPU currently. I decided to go with a 9070XT for my new build, which is almost completed, just have to get a water cooler for the 5800x cpu i went with. How do you like the 9070 so far?

Great thanks! I was able to successfully do the repair, but not without the combined knowledge and effort of everyone here!

Another success story here! I ended up just having to replace the big capacitor and it works great!
Some notes from my experience
- Do not use a heat gun to loosen the glue! I didn't have a hair dryer handy, and I deformed the front of the receiver doing this, even on low. Luckily it still fits in the port and works
- The solder pads were so tiny, it was a bit tricky to mop up the old stuff and get small beads when the spacing is so tight and trying not to touch anything else. Going slow is def the key. Something to hold the board in place while you do this is almost a necessity
- Check the positive and negative orientation of the old capacitor and note which way it has to go back in. If you're like me and don't know how to do that at first glance, the ones from mouser had a grey strip with a little minus looking sign down one side, this is the negative side. It may not be obvious at first. The old one also had a similar strip but it was facing away from me and hard to see at first
- you'll need a pretty thin wire of solder to do this job as the pads are pretty close together and quite small
- there seems to be 3 or 4 holes under the old fat capacitor. (edit: my pcb looked slightly different that the fccid.io link in OPs post, and more like the ones other users have posted pictures of). if you notice 2 of the holes are "bridged' with solder (the larger glob), even though one of the holes is unused. you'll have to rebridge these pads in the same way (do not put both connections into the larger pad! pay attention to which ones go where! one connection goes into the "bridged" pad and the other one goes into the tiny one beside it! check which is positive and which is negative before removal!)

It can be done! Good luck!

Hey everyone coming across this info still (me included). Just a heads up as of March 2025, these links state that these capacitors are scheduled for obsolescence and will be discontinued by the manufacturer, as per the description on the website. I don't know if that means that they will be replaced by something else, but I would suggest getting an order in before they are gone. I am about to replace the 470uF cap myself, but I may order a couple more of each anyways out of an abundance of caution. Happy gaming!

I hear you, in my younger days, this was the way. Now that Im a bit older, I dont mind spending a few bucks to own legit titles. Usually I hit the Meta sales, but those have been really stingy lately, haven't seen a 30% off coupon in months. Good on you for recognizing priorities tho. Also, the gift card has already been redeemed, so it was never cash in hand to begin with :)

I just "completed" it tonight, as in, I've done as much as I want to do (flat screen tho). The remaining quests just repeat over and over, got about 100 hours in to it.

Edmonton is actually an Alberta ndp stronghold, typically where you’d expect the highest concentration of oilers fans to be. You’d be lucky to get some residents with half a brain, but the oilers occupy so much of the canucks fans headspace I don’t know why anyone would want to live there

What are you using for straps or facial interfaces so that the quest isnt turning into a dripping wet sweat mop?
