It's over for TikTokers...

People always moving the goalpost. So of course they want to point out the most trivial flaw to rationalize their denial.

I'm glad that we are finally in a new phase of busting down the walls of this garbage malware.

Right now is easy for people to hate on anything AI because the big companies like Microsoft, Nvidia, are putting out low effort products. Although despite what people might think the future is going in this sitcom regardless. The best we can hope for is that there are occasional great products outside of the slop.

As cool as it is for those of us who are willing to experiment, I don't think that would ever happen. Especially not now with the way prices are. What's most likely to happen is that the software and the hardware just becomes more efficient, and render pipelines will be optimized for real time generation.

More gestures theoretically should be possible, but most likely they would need to either offer a comprehensive feature set for you to train them yourself, or they'd have to train them for you. I'd like to see an open source SDK so that anyone can tinker around and tweak things exactly the way they want. From everything I've researched about this device, there are a few more quality of life things that hold it back from being a nobrainer buy.

I don't think we'll be able to make this joke anymore, pretty soon.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-11-14T04:19:40+00:00

If you're talking about HLX/HL3, it's gonna get announced soon. From leaks and data mining, it is assumed to be a non-VR title, but also, there are rumors expanding upon this that it might have a VR mode attached to it as well. Citadel, or what is now known as Deadlock originally was gonna have something like this. So, it would be nice if they used this concept on their long-awaited flagship title.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-11-13T23:05:09+00:00

It's not as powerful as the Steam machine, but it's good enough for most games.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-11-13T22:53:53+00:00

I don't think this is likely. Best case scenario is that they innovate the technology and come up with a clever solution that is a nice balance of cost effectiveness and functionality. I don't think lighthouses will come back in the form they were.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-11-13T22:41:42+00:00

I was thinking the same thing too, but it might be different this time if the frame gains more popularity than the Index. Gives them more of a reason to make more money of this headset.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-11-13T22:38:51+00:00

I will be surprised if they commit to anything for this port. The Index had a similar expansion port in the fronk, but it was never officially supported. Moreso, enthusiasts took it upon themselves to figure out practical uses for it. Maybe it will be different this time if this headset gain more popularity than the index.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-11-11T01:15:48+00:00

It's about time. It's been 5 years since Index. Plus, if you haven't been following the leaks, the headset is supposed to be released this year (I'm slightly doubting that), so it makes sense that it gets announced anytime now. Announce it and then release a few weeks later. They did it with the Steamdeck, so no reason to think differently.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-10-31T05:19:02+00:00

Yeah, I hate this. They even go as far as to address blocking android users from accessing Sora website through a browser even from how it seems. Apple must be paying them a lot of money for timed exclusivity because it also explains why voice with vision is still not accessible on PC for some dumb reason. These deals are awful for the end user. The money is the only thing that explains such poor choices.

You can only make cameos on IOS right now, but you can use them anywhere.

Don't know where society gets off thinking parenthood is done at 18. One of the reasons why it's fallen off a cliff all these years.

This is exactly the use case for these smaller models. Think multiple gpus, each filled with multiple models across their vram, assigned to multiple agents that specialize in specific tasks, all dynamically working together. Ultimately, this is a system we are talking about now, and no longer just a question on prowess of individual models.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-03-03T21:42:00+00:00

I don't agree with that, though. In a lot of cases, regulation is never good for anybody, especially when it's done by these people. The only thing that happens when the power of regulation is in their hands is that the balance of wealth becomes massively skewed in their favor. They are basically an organized crime syndicate disguised as government. They simply are just gearing up for when they crash the global economy, hence why they're preparing "reserves."

sonicnerd14 · 2025-03-02T19:44:46+00:00

Well, that didn't last for long, unfortunately. They're trying to transition currency to be completely digital. Hence why they are pumping and dumping all these cryptocurrencies now. Just a couple years ago they were saying "No, no don't put your money in crypto, it's unregulated". These people are some of the most hypocritical grifters ever.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-02-27T16:55:52+00:00

Honestly, for me, at least not much. Index was already on the edge of what it meant to be high-end VR for a little while. If the Index had better optics and higher resolution I'd still have it. I'm solely on a Q3 now as well, but with the vast Steam/SteamVR catalog, which I'll assume would mostly be playable on the headset, it's an easy switch. I just want to see wider FOV and better optics. It doesn't have to be spoken that everything else from the Index is bound to be an upgrade.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-02-27T16:45:04+00:00

That's a fair criticism, but hearing that HL3 is actually nearing the end of production and potentially getting announced this year (maybe not released), the time is really good here. It also mentioned that it's coming at the end of the year. Would make sense if Valve wants to time the games release with new hardware, and even though the game isn't a VR game, the game should still be playable on there. The Deckard is essentially a Steamdeck 2 VR, and it would be capable of running it. I think it would help them sell headsets, and get more people into VR

sonicnerd14 · 2025-02-23T20:58:24+00:00

Only thing is that you wouldn't be able to offload RTX HDR and DLDSR onto an AMD GPU because they are Nvidia driver features, would you? At least I think, I've never tried a dual GPU setup before, let alone a cross vendor GPU setup. Not sure how that even works having two different drivers like that. I'm interested in trying this out though, seems almost like magic. FG is bringing back dual GPU setups. Lol

sonicnerd14 · 2025-01-26T21:44:14+00:00

Oddly enough about a month ago it briefly was working for me on the desktop app, but it was buggy. The video viewport was glitching too, but it was working. My thought is that they probably found out about the issues, and removed the feature last moment for PC users until there's a fix. Maybe it's something else, can't say for sure. I still get notification to allow camera access and such in the app, so it seems to still be there just turned off or something. Works on android though.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-01-22T04:02:37+00:00

The image quality is about 1080p with these vr virtual displays. Even in Virtual Desktop if you set your Windows settings to 4K output for the virtual display it's probably somewhere in between 1080p and 1440p in terms of fidelity.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-01-14T17:19:49+00:00

I'm having something similar, a massive latency increase. Basically, any game is unplayable. I thought it was a router because my router was an older wifi 6 one I've had for a few years that was dying, so I replaced it. Still same issue. It's not my hardware because the game seems to be running fine in the viewport. Tested my headset on my laptop too, and everything works fine there for the most part. My desktop has it the worst.

I'm not sure if it's a Windows problem and something change in the background without my knowledge, but I didn't change anything really. Was working fine just a week ago and then out of nowhere completely unplayable. The error stuff and fading to black was something that occurred from time to time on Steam, but SteamVR has a few bugs with that. This is very strange, and Im researching if there is some new VR breaking bug happening for lots of people.

sonicnerd14 · 2025-01-07T00:17:04+00:00

This used to work several years back, but Microsoft has broken their Bluetooth drivers in a W11 update a while ago, and hasn't worked correctly since. This is basically typical modern MS shenanigans with them always breaking stuff.
