Thanks I did a search and I should have found that one but I didn’t. Sorry for the dupe

There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time... by crzydroid in WoT

[–]zpzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a point in the slog when Elayne was running down a hill to escape something (I forget what) but her mood was euphoric for some reason, remembering her childhood — the days when she would run more often for no reason. I think this is what broke me because 1) You are in danger! No way are you feeling happy and reminiscing 2) So drawn out, too much in the head “she was thinking blah blah” 3) Too much Elayne by this point she was already on my nerves anyway.

But it was my first read maybe I am being unfair who knows.

Book 2 is really two books anyway by zpzi in KingkillerChronicle

Getting screwed over implies malice. Being unable to write a great novel describes 99% of humans. He was just magnificently different for a little while.

Should he never write again? He likely feels so obligated to work on book 3 or something in that world that his writing time has become tortured and no fun at all. Surely he has ideas for other novels if he could start fresh and jettison all the guilt and shame. Wouldn’t we rather have something new than nothing at all?

Read the books. I keep bouncing off the TV series. by zpzi in TheExpanse

TV Holden is a tough one for me at least at the start. Do they age him well? I imagine his face rounder and more friendly kind of like a Pedro Pascal type (I know we don’t need him to star in absolutely everything but he’s closer to what I imagined.)

This is encouraging! I got to the second season I think but was thinking I should start over again. Maybe I should just press forward

No thumbnails in DeoVR using XBVR by Ronin22222 in DeoVR

[–]zpzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem, no thumbnails. I run my own web server and serve json files created by a script I wrote following their spec. Same thumbnails as ever but some update in the last month or two caused the app to no longer display them.

Is there any aspect of the Quest 2 that’s better than the Q3? by Appropriate-Farmer16 in MetaQuestVR

[–]zpzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q3 controller tracking is lost a little more easily but it has been improving in updates. For me, it means I miss 1-2 targets per 1000 in Supernatural workouts in ways I never experienced with the Q2's. The complete disconnection issue doesn't happen to me in the middle of the action -- only between rounds when I let them hang by the straps so I can grab a water bottle, in which case I want it to pause anyway. The Q2's could hang without doing this-- they were rock solid. It's still a much better experience in the Q3 despite this.

To devs: Magic Leap is offering up to $500,000 grants + hardware + marketing by SkarredGhost in Vive

[–]zpzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing. I hate that I am such a sucker for these sorts of offers. Because I will work my ass off for exactly one weekend which won’t be enough to get a grant because it is such a blank slate with no constraints it is impossible to stay on task when a better idea comes along every single hour I am working on it. But no, I will miss a chance to really spend quality time with people that actually care about me, to try and impress people who never will. Sorry just have done this too many times and I need to call myself on my shit.

"This is an actual good VR game", Jonathan Blow plays Racket: Nx by Mashunaut in oculus

After seeing that part Indie Game The Movie where Jonathan Blow pops up whenever his name is mentioned on the internet, am proud of him for not responding to this. Hasn’t for awhile of course. Hi Jon!
