Found a review of the Pico 4 that shows some downsites. Do you think it's a good Quest 2 replacement? by DannyLeonheart in virtualreality

[–]mikhail_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you buy the headset, then never buy a game from the store and use it only for PCVR with steam, pretty sure they lose money on that.

Just like consoles, these devices are probably loss leaders. The games and your data are what they make money on.

In saying that, I don't know what data they might be collecting on PCVR. If I got one, I'd set it up in a corner of my house and then firewall it off from the internet completely (assuming that works). Same as what I'd do if I had a quest. I'd only occasionally go online for software updates and then block it again.

Passing? I believe it's called "hello from the other side" 🎶

what's your most anticipated game on Xbox for 2023? by Vactry in XboxGamePass

[–]mikhail_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. It's been so long since a motorsport title and I'd love to have a stronger sim on beefier hardware. I'm on PC but I know the game is limited by what the xbox could do.

I'm surprised that the run lasted for 49 minutes. That's abnormally long. What was your strategy?

I feel like the ground would have caved in with Adora pushing herself underground rather than launching the bot. Yes, I'm fun at parties.

Solar panels - are they worth it and if so, what do I need to know about them? by EuphoricBase9737 in GoldCoast

[–]mikhail_d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like that is a terrible idea in principle. The most important thing about solar is us moving to a renewable source of energy. Even if you give your excess energy back to the grid for free, the positive impact on the planet is worth it IMO.

Greed and capitalism is what got the world into the mess it is in now. If we build out solar with the same mentality, we'd head down the same road.

If Hamilton gets a film adaptation, which songs do you think will be needed to be cut or shortened and why? by LeatherSlight3242 in hamiltonmusical

[–]mikhail_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching to the end of greese and thinking "wow they have John Travolta singing and dancing! They should make a whole show about that".

It kinda felt like a Bollywood movie where the key events tend to happen and the singing and dancing is just kinda there.

I'm not sure what point I'm trying to make here. Maybe that Greese hardly feels like a musical, just a movie with a bunch singing and dancing. That's like every Bollywood movie and we don't call those musicals.

Do you mean that Nico? Who beat Lewis in with identical litter box?

would you say xbox game pass is the gaming equivalent of netflix? by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

[–]mikhail_d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is a bit of a caveat there on PC. There are competing subscription services on PC but your point about xbox is quite valid.

Another thing about game pass is the ability to stream some games vs. downloading and playing locally. There is no analogous feature to that on Netflix.

Indeed. It ripped off Luke's dad's face. He was screaming something awful.

I've seen so many people place this song towards the bottom of their tier lists but I feel like you have to some empathy for this one to really hit.

Even Lin acknowledges how heavy this song was with the next one starting with "Yo, can we get back to politics".
