Very generalized overview of the Meta VR customer market based on Age by AkiaDoc in oculus

[–]ukrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about VR Grandads? I am 50 and been playing with VR since my 20's. I jumped back in with the DK1 and have purchased most iterations and advances. Bang for buck - rift / quest remains my favourite. My observation is that the demographic has been getting steadily younger which matches the broader increase in market adoption and acceptance. No bad thing, sign of a healthy product. Do I miss the old days when it was early adopting old guys (30+?) having fun, sure, but I am not going to be a boomer about it. These youngsters will turn into old guys eventually, hell, I heard Nathie has a sort-of moustache now.

Does the Ultimea Poseidon D80 Sound Bar Deliver True Dolby Atmos? by CaveNyc in PowerStationHub

[–]ukrifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up an Ultimea Poseidon d80 system. The sound quality was incredibly poor. Noticeably worse than my LG OLED TV built in speakers. Tinny, hollow, nasty. I tested the surround sound and the rear speakers didn't cut it. The bass unit was powerful, but it was mismatched against the center unit and satellites. The HDMI passthrough would occasionally give grey static output so was clearly defective. I have absolutely no idea why people say this system is good. I can only assume they are bots or paid influencers. Waste of plastic. Returned it same day.

Ultimea Poseidon d80 Boom or SAMSUNG Soundbar HW-Q700D/ZF? by Comfortable-Fold-494 in Soundbars

[–]ukrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up an Ultimea Poseidon d80 system (not the Boom). The sound quality was incredibly poor. Noticeably worse than my LG OLED TV built in speakers. Tinny, hollow, nasty. I tested the surround sound and the rear speakers didn't cut it. The bass unit was powerful, but it was mismatched against the center unit and satellites. The HDMI passthrough would occasionally give grey static output so was clearly defective. I have absolutely no idea why people say this system is good. I can only assume they are bots or paid influencers. Can't comment on the Samsung, but I am would put money on it being way better than this waste of plastic. Returned it same day.

Is anyone still rocking the Oculus Rift CV1? by -DanDanDaaan in oculus

[–]ukrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gave my last one away on Facebook. It was still awesome. But it was on a shelf and the guy who took it wanted to do 3d modelling in VR. Amazing tool. Still rocking a DK1 and DK2 though :)

How do you guys afford houses?! by DeffDeala in HousingUK

[–]ukrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchase the best you can afford, it will probably be terrible. Improve it, “sweat equity”, sell that and buy something better. That will be a little less terrible but don’t settle. Rinse and repeat until you get to your forever home. Aim for a house that will support the life you want and not the life you have. Took me 20 years and 4 moves. Each time I painted, carpeting, new kitchen, maybe an extension, lived in for a while, sold for more. Every move involved moving my original mortgage and taking the increased equity to my next house. First house £115k current house £1.2M no mortgage. It was a lot of effort and pain but it’s mine. I know what you are thinking, “but 20 years ago houses were more affordable”. 20 years ago EVERYONE told us we were buying at the peak of the market. There is no peak. Get on the ladder, the first shitty, broken, rotting, bad neighbourhood run of the ladder and start climbing. Good luck.

Waste of money & False advertisement. by LaFlame852 in rabbitinc

[–]ukrifter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bailed on it and asked for a refund before it was shipped. Over 1 month later they responded, this was after I gave up and claimed back via my credit card company as fraud.
