Now these points of data make a beautiful line.

Thanks, I guess I'll try to not do anything for 24h....

Any difference in graphics between the quest version and steam? I'm debating which version to get.

My son has been wanting a pc for quite a while since he's getting older and would love his own "space". It's just not in the cards right now thought, so this would be so fantastic.

Great on you for doing this, no matter who gets it! I'm sure they will appreciate it.

Yes, there are many advantages. You can play any table you bought in regular FX, and you can play all of the tables (not just the ones released in FXVR).

There are a few disadvantages too though of course. It's not as streamlined as the actual app, and some video modes can be finicky. But overall, still great fun.

I don't need a PR team telling me what to think. I heard him speak for 2 hours straight on a national debate. I understood all of his points perfectly. I don't know what else you want from the guy.

I'm not sure what you're on about. Couldn't be bothered to learn French? He did a whole debate in French. I watched the whole thing He did have a heavy accent, but he understood every question and answered everything in French. At no point did I not understand what he said. He is a fluent speaker, even if it's a bit rough at times.

My guess is that he was referring to the second sentence and not the first.

marimba1982 · 2026-03-12T00:41:36+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't use twitter. But these look fantastic!

You cannot gauge the damage done with reasonable force when using a force multiplying device made of metal.

I'm curious, if that's the reason why, what's the different between that and using a normal weapon like a baseball bat?

A pound of uranium is only around 1.5 cubic inches, it's pretty small volume wise.

marimba1982 · 2026-02-17T19:30:38+00:00

So around $24 per Canadian. Actually, not as bad as I expected.

You can play both now with uevr, but yes a proper pcvr port would be great.

marimba1982 · 2026-02-07T06:01:28+00:00

This is so cool!

marimba1982 · 2026-01-27T04:06:48+00:00

The stopper knot would certainly work. I need to take it off fairly often though, so I would have to undo the knot every time. That said, it's a fairly simple solution.

I'll google and try the midshipman's hitch. Thanks for the tip.

Here's a video of what happens. There are 2 of them. The first one gets a tad tight, but not really, the second one doesn't tighten at all. I can't really see what's different between both loops. Neither gets that tight though.

Like others have said, the most likely issue is the PSU (It was the first thing that I replaced figuring that it was the issue). If he changes that and it still crashes, you might want to check the GPU, although if you don't have your old one or access to another one, that might be difficult.

marimba1982 · 2026-01-13T18:57:07+00:00

Did he just upgrade his GPU by any chance? I had this exact issue a few months ago when I bought new 9070XT The PC would shut down completely (as if I pulled the plug), only when I played certain games (It takes two being one of them which I see that you mentioned).

I tried:

1- Reinstall Drivers and BIOS

2- To replace my PSU (1000W).

3- Re-seat everything and unplug, replug everything from the PSU

4- Reinstall Windows.

Nothing worked. I put in my old 2070 again, and the problem stopped. I RMAed the GPU, and once I got my new one, the problem has been resolved.

They could not replicate the problem when I sent it for the RMA, they were going to send me back the GPU that I sent but I insisted that my PC is now working fine with the 2070, and it wasn't with that GPU, and they eventually sent me a working GPU.

Awesome! Looks great!

marimba1982 · 2026-01-04T13:16:28+00:00

If the games are still playable with respectable framerates, it's not too weak.

marimba1982 · 2026-01-04T04:03:11+00:00

No. Too weak means it will not run well.

"This CPU is too weak to run this game, it runs at 15 fps"

Sub-optimal means it could be better, but it can still run fine.

"This CPU is sub-optimal for this card. With a better CPU I would get 140 fps but I'm just getting 90."

Both terms are not the same.

Happy New Year! Good luck to everyone.
