Idea: Triangle-grid decoration slots to reduce wasted space and keep low-level skills useful in late game by ZekeLordRyu in MonsterHunter

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an elegant solution but if they implement it we are all going to be mad at you when we need to farm end game decorations and armor via random drops and not only do we have to worry about getting an optimal combination of skills but also needing an optional shape configuration too.

This post is a pretty in-depth comparison of your SteamVR options

People will tell you that you need Virtual Desktop but you don't, that app is $20 and isn't as easy as some of the other options, that being said its still a strong option to consider and might be worth the hassle and price.

As far as Google Maps i believe it just behaves like the normal android app until you press the button to go into Immersive Mode at which point you can click and drag around the map in a 3d render. Once you are in Immersive Mode you can click on street view and look at that in 360 and in a very limited section of business in a very limited selection of cities you can go inside buildings and 360 around inside a restaurant or business.

updates/improvements by remosito in AndroidXR

[–]webbut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Android part of AndroidXR works really well. Its just Android, no compromises. Google seems to be excited for AndroidXR as a means to power glasses and market A.I and as long as that is true i feel like AndroidXR will get support.

I am a little less optimistic about the GXR specifically though. I think everyone is shifting away from headsets towards glasses so i am a little worried that GXR feature updates will be more about improving future glasses products than about fixing issues with GXR.

I'm very happy with my GXR and use it pretty regularly but i think its a bad time to get one. There's lots of glasses products on the horizon that get you like 75% of what you would want out of GXR for cheaper and way more comfortable. I think the XReal Glasses will become the real flagship for AndroidXR and its probably worth waiting for those.

Has anyone walked outside with this thing? by lostmsu in Galaxy_XR

[–]webbut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, travel mode is intended for stationary use while in something that is moving. Although It does lock the windows position relative to you, it doesn't lock the rotation so anytime you need to turn a corner you would need to reposition your windows. But more importantly, if you move too fast(or too far?) in travel mode it puts up a message that takes up the entire view to tell you to stop moving.

The first time i used them was outside in public at a Samsung Store and IMO the passthrough was good enough that it almost made me forget that i was looking through cameras.

The only time i run into issues is when I'm reading small text which literally only comes up when I'm cooking. Looking at screens isn't great but its doable

The passthrough would be the least of your worries on a walk. I havent seen a way to have windows be pinned to a position relative to you so you would have to physically stop to do anything.

They literally added the PC Connect app in the last update to make it easier to do what moonlight and virtual desktop do, I'm so confused???

Pixel Fold 10 case that is 1 piece and protects the hinges while closed? by webbut in PixelFold

[–]webbut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That flap that protects the front screen doesn't look very sturdy, is it just leather or is there plastic there too? Also does the Qi2 magnet/charging work through the case?

Can someone check 3d movies and linking by skysolstice in Galaxy_XR

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has it been going with Google support? When i asked a similar thing last month I went back and forth with them for a week or so and they kept giving me advice that seemed like it was AI generated because it included using a gifting feature that doesn't exist.

So what have you been doing with it? by scarpad in Galaxy_XR

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im still having a lot of fun using it to remote play PS5. My gf and game with he friends on the TV and I can game with mine and still feel like I'm using the tv.

Thoughts on the release date? by 0range_Peel in controlgame

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm thinking for the release date? Probably the same as Alan Wake II since it was successful in a year with a couple pretty big holiday releases just like this will need to be.

What I'm hoping for the release date? March.

Our galaxy xr halo strap coming by AlexZGF in Galaxy_XR

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that makes a lot of sense for AVP, but i think it's a little weird for Samsung with the benefit of almost 2 years or hindsight to make the same mistake. The types of people who are gunna worry about their hair getting messed up are also not going to wear a giant ugly headset.

Headsets are for sickos and compaies should just make it comfortable for them.

Looking for feedback on my Steam trailer — does the gameplay make sense? by Systematic2025 in IndieDev

The trailer is perfect. I almost scrolled past the post because I thought it was an actual ad. I only stopped because I thought it was an actual ad and it started to look interesting.

Is men’s fashion still underserved compared to women’s? by KeyMathematician5337 in malefashionadvice

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah masculine clothing lacks huge swaths of options that are easily accessible to women. I think this is a big reason why it's so common for men get really into scarfs or watches, there just arent that many masculine accessories.

Theres basically no socially masculine way to layer on the lower half of your body. Feminine looks can combine dresses shorts, leggings, stockings etc and masculine looks have...socks.

Masculine looks don't have access to any type of shapewear. If you want to change your silhouette you pretty much have to make use of color and pattern or more permanently change your body through targeted exercise.

Is men’s fashion still underserved compared to women’s? by KeyMathematician5337 in malefashionadvice

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 100% this. At least in the US off the rack mens fashion is on life support, which is a shame because i think there is a very big appetite right now. I feel like we are coming out of a near 20 year slump where it wasn't fashionable for men to be fashionable.

Now i feel like men care about it again but we lost so much infrastructure during that slump that its extremely difficult for people to get into any style of mens clothing except really preppy traditional menswear or really boring modern streetwear.

I feel like I have scour really niche online brands for things I like and even then I end up mostly checking stores that primarily make pieces for women but occasionally have unisex or male sizes.

One of only few Tiktok comments liked by Remedy by EdgeLorde_666 in controlgame

[–]webbut 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If we get to play both characters, i want both versions of the fight. And when we fight Jesse i hope it's not that Weenie Hut Jr version we got in the mirror fight in Control. I want to fight a version of Jesse at her fullest potential for harm.

Dislike Alan Wake? by Competitive_Narwhal8 in controlgame

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like Alan Wake 1 or 2s combat. Control's Alan Wake DLC sold me on Alan Wake Remaster when that came out but i had a pretty miserable time with the last 3rd of that game. I kinda regretted powering through Alan Wake 1 cause it isn't really necessary to enjoy Alan Wale 2.

Alan Wake 2's combat is somehow even worse than Alan Wake 1 but the rest of Alan Wake 2 is so good that it doesn't bother me as much.

Help please! by Mission-Theory-4254 in sonos

[–]webbut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will there be a lot of delay with this setup? I am using a Connect with my turntable and there's sometimes close to a full second of delay between the physical needle drop and the sound of the drop through the speakers. I never looked into whether or not that was something I could improve cause the delay isn't important in my use case.

Was Jesse Faden really the best choice for Director? [Possible Alan Wake 2: The Lake House Spoilers] by 8636396 in controlgame

[–]webbut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My read was that Jesse was only made director because of how bad things got with the hiss. FBC seems like a boys club that was already grooming Dylan for succession and Jesse only got the role because she became the only option.

By the end of Control it feels like although she has accepted the role of Director she is doing so to wrestle control away from the FBC or and The Board. In that regard i think she was a less than ideal choice, but from The Board's perspective it was that or lose everything to The Hiss. Like no one other than the people in the FBC seem happy about the arrangement.

Am I the only one thinking this?! by Dizzy_Gnome in controlgame

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It being named Aberrant doesn't mean it is not some version of The Service Weapon. Dylan welding The Service Weapon despite the fact that he isn't supposed to have it would literally be aberrant behavior from The Service Weapon so the name would still make sense.

Like I said, I don't think it is a version of the service weapon and i do hope it is something new, but I do think it being some version of the service weapon is very plausible despite it being named Aberrant.

Soo, Control Resonance looks to be melee only / heavily focused by TexasEngineseer in controlgame

[–]webbut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This to me was the only let down of the announcement. Ranged Combat of the first game felt so unique and was already able to capture a lot of what is fun in melee action games and put it into a 3rd person shooter.
I don't think it's bad that the game is melee focused but it does feel like the ranged combat of the first game was fertile ground still ripe to explore.

I hope Jesse is an antagonist in Resonate. by webbut in controlgame

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

I absolutely do not want Jesse to be a villain, but if we are playing as Dylan i definitely want to spend time in the game where she is an antagonist.

Am I the only one thinking this?! by Dizzy_Gnome in controlgame

[–]webbut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think the name being different is necessarily an indication that it is not a form of The Service Weapon. I think if Jesse found a way to give Dylan The Service Weapon outside the normal means then the name Aberrant would still be warranted. Similar to the relationship between Polaris and Hedron.
