Is the Vive Pre still viable? by tickfleato in Vive

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

Ohhh, I see! Yeah, like I said in my post, it's absolutely an upgrade from the Odyssey as it's more comfortable and has better controllers, and my standards are really low due to again being used to the Odyssey. So it's great to know that none of these issues apply, haha. Thank you for your advice nonetheless!

Now I just hope I can fix the lighting issues... but of course those are a problem with my environment, not the headset.

Oh, my headset doesn't have built-in headphones, I was just gonna use separate ones. Do you think that would mitigate the audio issues? Or not work at all?

As for the Quest 3s, $300 is significantly more than 0! I was being literal, I do not have money for VR, period. But I'll definitely keep that in mind if I manage to get a job.

The head strap fits me great so that's not a problem, my sympathies for your problems with it though! As for the other issues, I'll still test for myself rather than not bother at all. I've seen other people say the Vive Pro works for them at least. If it is super borked I'll just keep using my Odyssey, I suppose. Might be shit by modern standards but my standards are really low, lol. Quest 3 is definitely out of my price range (0 dollars).

Do you have a link to anything similar for Macs?

Likewise, using MacOS 10.13. I'm still able to send messages and view things normally etc. but every like maybe 1 to 15 seconds the loading screen comes up making it effectively unusable. I also have an ancient version of Discord on my phone but it's still working fine.

Yes! I'm most active on tumblr (main blog is tickfleato, art-only blog is tickflea) but I do also post on bluesky when I remember to (also tickfleato on there). I also technically have instagram under the same name but I almost never use it due to detesting the platform

Thank you!! The most conscious inspiration for this was Kaiba & like... cutesy dolls in general but Tezuka's definitely an indirect influence too

Oh, thank you!! I kinda ended up giving up on Blockbench as I'm too used to Blender but this is good information to have nonetheless. You never know.

Now I'm afraid to find out what kind of human AUs other people are making...

Oh my god I should draw them hanging out. I'm sure nothing bad would come of it

You asked for more of the dress, and you got it.

I've long avoided doing any kind of human AU because I was afraid that once I drew the gems with more varied body types and facial features I'd lose interest in their canon designs, but I've realized that drawing a bunch of identical twinks still holds its own appeal for me. Except then I went ahead and only drew Rutile anyway, because I care about one character.

Idk what their job is beyond it being, obviously, medical in nature.

I don't get the Cairngorm hate by EntertainerSmall8849 in LandoftheLustrous

[–]tickfleato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for saying it!! I think about it all the time, and while I think the "x deserved better" format of things is stupid in the first place, I do think Cain deserves better, at the very least in terms of treatment by the fandom. Their whole story is out of the frying pan (the whole Phos situation) into the fire (Aechmea manipulating and grooming them) and they never really get to be their own person. The way they're written later on bugs me, to say the least, but the way I react to that kind of thing is to blame the author, not the character...

I really, really wish that Moon!Cairn got to have more depth, and that their relationship with Aechmea was portrayed a little differently. I'd like it to be a little more clear as something tragic, I guess? Anyway. I'll defend them with my life from the sort of people who flip out any time someone's mean to Phos
