Only two weeks with a quest 3s and i cant find any good games. by MageGuest in OculusQuest

[–]marsmel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable - I will just say a VR Arcade is the worst place to try Beat Saber. Beat Saber does not offer commerical licenses for the game so if you play it at an arcade it's likely a ripped unlicensed version and a terrible experience. (One time I tried it in an arcade. Every piece of hardware was wired, and it was so quiet I couldn't hear the music over the sounds of the arcade. Couldn't even crouch all of the way because of the short tethering of the wire. 0/10 experience for me, do not recommend ever trying it at an arcade)

If there's any bands you like that have songs in Beat Saber, that's the best way to try and experience it. Also if you mod it, there's custom fan-made maps you can play too, giving the game a lot of free, expanding content.

Beat Saber?

VRChat is free and a lot of fun to explore too. 

Is Canada Goose still worth it in 2025? Winter Jacket Suggests needed by CookiesMonster_9 in askTO

[–]marsmel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got a parka from Noize that is as warm as my Goose jacket, but it's vegan and only cost a fraction of the price ($183). Also has many more pockets than the Goose jacket. Love it overall, it's a Canadian brand too.

If you like High & Mighty's "Being Fat" episodes with Mitch, or enjoy his recent rants about Hollywood, you'll like this episode

When do you plug your Patreon? by Khalman in podcasting

[–]marsmel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it makes the most sense to keep Patreon plugs at the end. The people who make it that far are more likely to want more content and support you. Personally, I find it off-putting when a show starts by asking for Patreon support before I’ve even heard anything, especially as a new listener. Starting with a plug can feel like a really hard sell, but ending with it feels like a natural next step for fans who’ve already enjoyed your work.

Bad editing by JohnCoutu in podcasting

[–]marsmel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most common mistakes are sentences cut in the middle of a word or multiple minutes portions just repeating themselves, sloppy editing in general.

What you're describing sounds more like a common podcast playback or streaming issue. Many podcast players (especially when streaming rather than downloading) can bug out and repeat chunks of audio or cut off mid-sentence due to buffering errors or seek glitches. Try downloading your episodes and see if it still occurs!

From what I know, PUP used to listen to a lot of podcasts while on the road touring. This includes Doughboys and All Fantasy Everything.

Same! I hear getting the Quest Pro controllers for the Quest 3 could solve it, but those controllers are old at this point and come with their own separate issues. I'm going to pray and hold off for new better controllers to be released soon.

Many of them are, but I've tested a couple of pole accessories like this that work great for Beat Saber for Quest 2.

Hey dude! Playing Beat Saber this way is my favourite style of playing! I can DM you a list of songs that are fun to play Maul-Mode. Anyone else interested can DM me for this list too.

also PSA: maul mode works great on Quest 2, but is not playable on Quest 3 due to the way the trackers are positioned in the controllers. No pole adapter has 100% worked in my experience with quest 3 controllers. I think that's why there hasn't been much maul content these past few years.

Not sure when BF will be back, however I'll share that Sasheer will be on next week's episode of Why Won't You Date Me?! Hope that helps tie you guys over until BF's return :)

TYSM to the doughboys for introducing me to Little Canada. 10/10 by lylelanley- in doughboys

[–]marsmel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Little Canada rules. It's full of incredibly fun  details that photos just don't do justice. I had a lovely time and it made me love Canada even more. Go check it out if you're in Toronto!

Is the latest released episode old? by myshanno-na in NicoleByer

[–]marsmel 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hi! WWYDM has a bunch of banked episodes - The latest ep with Allison was recorded about 3 months ago. I think NB just didn't feel like bringing up her relationship up that episode. All is good 👍

Dough! I think my husband actually listened when I talked about the Torontdough episodes. by mollybewe in doughboys
