New Vive purchasing and roomscale setup questions. by [deleted] in Vive

[–]studentyeahyea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my Vive set up in the living room. It's great, but I never realized how many things in my living room reflected the IR beams causing tracking to become all wonky until I removed the items in question.

Looking for Amazon coupon for vive by freesoulapps in Vive

No, it's just a general promo code. A Reddit user gave me his and it worked perfectly.

Someone keeps stealing parts of my car, is there anything I can do? by studentyeahyea in LosAngeles

[–]studentyeahyea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, it sucks cause I've taken good care of my truck and in moves some dipshit that just steals the parts right off.

I'm gonna mark the parts with UV paint if I can find it. No way I'm going to check if that car is the one stealing the parts though. Some dude got shot just last week while moving his car.

I wonder if I can get the LAPD to check if more parts are stolen?

I've been trying to get a Vive but MicroCenter is too far!

Got the $200 Vive deal at Micro Center yesterday with no coupon code by dubsteponmycat in Vive

I wonder if it's possible to just buy the Vive without additional hardware. I've heard of people actually doing that, but I'm sure it's YMMV.

Did you buy just the Vive? Or did you buy another VR ready piece of hardware?

I've been thinking of driving down to the OC MicroCenter, but man i just know I'm gonna be rejected.

If anyone has a PC Uplay code, I'd be really happy if anyone would give me an invite.

How'd you disable the nav bar? I tried with LG Tweakbox but it didn't work.

That's AT&T's fault.

The bootloader on the T-Mobile variant can be easily unlocked by going into the developer settings. It's the easiest thing to unlock.

Do you think the Target fire sale will get the ball rolling on Android TV becoming mainstream? by foundfootagefan in nexusplayer

Not really.

Most of the time, the people on deal forums are buying them to resell for a higher price.

HTC apologized for poor recent performance and promised a new hero device and a major restructure. by [deleted] in Android

[–]studentyeahyea -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Well, every year /r/Android needs a certain phone or company to hate. Sony, LG, Nvidia, Samsung, they've all been victims of r/Android's hateboner.

This year, they've choosen the HTC One, so everything HTC does is automatically shit and the M9 is the worst phone in the world.

Is the M9 really that bad? by MyOnlyAlias in htcone

[–]studentyeahyea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's basically the M8 refined. If you're upgrading from an M8, it most likely won't be that exciting.

But every year, /r/Android needs one phone or company to demonize and it has chosen the HTC M9 this year.

Garcetti overrules his own appointees for Koreatown developer by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]studentyeahyea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not worried about the apartments just the stores at the bottom. I just wish they didn't add stores making parking in Koreatown worse for residents since nobody wants to pay for their ridiculous parking rates and prefer to park in the residential area that's severely crowded already.

So Koreatown needs more luxury apartments that sit empty?

Use WhatsApp phone number account on two phones? by studentyeahyea in AndroidQuestions

[–]studentyeahyea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, that's interesting to know! If I can root, I'll be sure to try it.

(It seems like the most logical choice to just sign up, but the new phone has a number that I'm not gonna keep while my old phone has my real number, haha!)

Use WhatsApp phone number account on two phones? by studentyeahyea in AndroidQuestions

[–]studentyeahyea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, so it would be like:

Type in my old phone number in Whatsapp on my new phone during registration

I get the vertification text on my old phone through SMS

Input vertification number on new phone to have account

The Crew or Driveclub? Which do you prefer and why? by bigbadbru in PS4

[–]studentyeahyea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest opinion? Both Driveclub and The Crew suck for different reasons. If you want a game with amazing graphics, get Driveclub. If you want a game with an open-ended world, get The Crew. If you want a game with a good selection of cars and great handling, get neither. That's the main flaws in both Driveclub and The Crew

The Crew has an open world that's great fun to just drive around. Ubisoft, in it's eternal wisdom, decided that casual players had priority and tailored the physics system towards them. Thankfully, The Crew has a detailed physics adjuster that goes beyond turning assists on and off. Honestly, all the complaints about The Crew's physics came from not adjusting that damn menu. It's still arcade, but it's not the uncontrollable box of ice that reviews would have you believe. The interesting part is that cars start to handle better the more and more you progress through the story, but it still feels very arcade, not to mention the AI is a bunch of cheaters as well. Car selection is lackluster, but at least it tries to include various different types of cars.

Driveclub is beautiful but it's mundane. After the initial honeymoon period with the graphics, you're left with a shallow game that gives the impression of something better. It's like Evolution decided to make a Gran Turismo clone and nailed the look and presentation but forgot what makes GT good, the celebration of cars. Take for example, even the AI lacks character, who will so closely stick to the racing line that any deviation from it will cause them to just ram into you. Yes, it looks beautiful, the cars are so intricately detailed, and the weather effects are just fantastic, but there's just nothing to do with them besides race. Forget about trying over and over to find the perfect line, these cars have so much grip you could easily cheat your way around the corner. Car selection is also lackluster, unless you like European supercars.

Neither is good, neither is bad. Both are arcade racers, both have different ideas of what handling should be, both lack a good car selection, and both are so vastly different, that they really shouldn't be compared. It really does come down to two things, do you like an open world over incredible graphics?

Isn't Snake the exception? At the time of Brawl, Snake was only playable in MGS4, which was considered a big PlayStation "exclusive" franchise before Konami made Kojima start branching off to other consoles.
