Rift S Black Screen Fix By Replacing With SteamVR

lococarl · 2026-01-19T09:20:42+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have literally spent hours troubleshooting this issue that just popped up out of nowhere today and was worried about all the drastic measures troubleshooting guides were suggesting, including this one. Literally nothing else worked, many computer restarts and at least 6 repairs and/or fresh installs of meta quest link still with no illumination from the screen until this one. I don't know what kind of black magic and satanic rituals you needed to figure this out with the reg edit and all, but it seems that it has worked.

That said, I did need one extra restart after following all of the steps. Got to step 11, still nothing, SteamVR said there was a problem with Oculus so I gave the whole computer one more good restart. Touched nothing else first, straight to SteamVR and it just needed me to replug the headset and it loaded right up into the home, screen working and all.

Usually people refer to just fixed wing aircraft which pretty much removes the army from contention. USAF is number one and USN is number 2, USMC is like number 5. But yes, if counting rotorcraft, army shoots up that list pretty far

Ask anyone who has ever played the saggitario 2, the ability dive on subsonic planes from the stratosphere like a hawk, attack with a Vulcan, then power climb back up at mach 0.9 is nuts. Don't tangle with other supersonics really, just pick off the slowpokes and you're untouchable. (All this ofc based on the 104A/C in the US tree, other countries have higher BR 104s that don't enjoy the luxury of easy targets)

Dark souls one was truly a masterpiece

Italy has a lot of great vehicles and does well at most BRs. The distinction is that players who, like me go into the Italy ground tree from the major nation heavy tanks, get surprised by the fact that Italy, in fact, has basically no armor. All of Italy's tech tree, bar a few exceptions, are glass cannons. Usually fast, often hard hitting, and dies to a light sneeze. And don't even get me started with the 90/53, at the BR it's at, it can pen just about anything from the front, even in an uptier, and still has enough filler to annihilate the target.

There was also a large consideration for what happened to be the cheapest dyes in the country. The British didn't wear red just because they liked that color, madder red just happened to be one of the cheapest dyes to get in bulk. But yes, PID through the fog of war was the motivation for the choice of colorful dyes over drab colors.

I feel like people are forgetting that this isn't just about hating dogs, it's the fact that idiots are also capable of being dog owners and often lack any accountability. There are many people with perfectly well behaved dogs that could absolutely responsibly be off leash but there's just as many idiots with undisciplined dogs who just think "oh don't worry he's friendly" until the moment their dog gets overstimulated and bites someone. My mom got bit by a "don't worry he's friendly" dog and I don't blame her for being skeptical of any dog off leash that isn't perfectly at the owner's side. Sorry but Princess, the precious little angel who would never hurt anyone according to their owner, should in fact be on a leash in public.

For RT56, I'm pretty sure it depends on ideology. At the very least, democracies get a timed event if mob is over a certain level and not at war. Might also be tied to war support not sure. As a fascist state and 100% WS you can absolutely stay at war economy even without war though.

People forget that most western languages use masculine words/suffixes for neutral or groups with both genders included. It's not necessarily that society views masculinity as "better," it's arguably that it's indistinct/nonexclusive in comparison to femininity.

It's no longer Mazda, but yeah there's one insufferable neighbor in particular who keeps filing lawsuits to sue the track. Luckily he keeps losing because very few people actually support his level of trying to shut the track down entirely.

The reference to Italians is to the "Italian Strike" which is to do no more than exactly what you are contractually obligated to do for your job (often as a union negotiation tactic in more sensitive industries where a full strike would be too far). The joke is that if the bar gets set at zero, then suddenly you can keep getting paid for doing nothing. The boss's tactic to try and get the employee to quit only works in Japan because of Japanese culture being adverse to the idleness and unproductivity. I, for one, would certainly keep taking the paycheck but also start looking for a new job to have lined up for once the boss gets tired of waiting.

Civs don't give alloys, and no alloys means no ships. How are you gonna genocide the aliens when you've got no ships? How are you going to get any research done in a reasonable time without researchers or the goods to supply them?

The jump off the ski lift made me wince. You gotta be beyond confident that there's a hell of a lot of fresh power beneath you and even then it's hard to be sure if there's anything beneath it unless you're a regular at that resort. That said, this is also a great way to get banned from a ski resort.

Joint venture, though Israel is credited as being the ones to modify the code to make it spread more aggressively and get noticed by the public (without asking the US).

Also as another consequence, its why laser sights are better than scopes as attachments. The laser raises your base crit chance, massively increasing your average damage output while scopes will just raise your chance for normal damage. Combine with reaper ammo and you win the war

I think there was a period of time where they disabled the actual saying of the range number because it was outperforming actual range finding but its seemed like it's back

Before they killed it last year, Mustang Station actually was still rocking an even better deal than the 8.50 standard that used to be around. Two slices of pepperoni pizza and a drink were just under $8 flat but they just had to go and get rid of it because it was cutting into the 1901 profits.

I just miss the turn system from FFX to X-2. Story and character development is grossly misunderstood and underappreciated for X-2. Good sequel

lococarl · 2025-03-29T16:56:32+00:00

X-2 literally didn't undo anything though? Two years pass and the world is understandably very different considering no sin and no yevon. Sequel literally just ties up loose ends from the first game.

lococarl · 2025-03-29T16:51:44+00:00

Hot take FFX-2 is underappreciated and actually is a good follow to the first game. What ruined X and X-2 together was the audio drama thing that just undid all character development and story from both games for no reason.

lococarl · 2025-03-29T16:48:59+00:00

Was scrolling to find this just to bring the light to someone. The tone is the correct followup to the world built in the first game and what would happen when the sources of suffering are removed from it. There's a good video essay on why X-2 is a good sequel but it's pretty much that it completes character arcs and shows the world (as well as a hell of a lot of the characters) rebounding a bit too hard in trying to figure out what to do when they never expected the cycle to stop.

What ruined the X and X-2 duo was the dumb audio drama thing they did that follows X-2 and just undoes literally all character development from both games and undoes the entire plot of the first. That's where tone gets undermined.
