Yeah, they think we are lying when we say we don't want to hurt them, even though we disagree with them. There is a reason they always think they are being threatened, cuz they would be threatening if they were in the same position, so they see our actions through that filter.

Overall is that even a deal over a used headset? Even a fully featured non-stripped down one? Like given what features his headset does have, it's comparable to some pretty old headsets... and it likely does even those bare minimum features more poorly than an older used headset would. Not to mention comfort.

Like a 10 year old Rift CV1 has almost as much resolution at 90hz/fps instead of 60. And while it's lenses would be relatively terrible now, they were pretty much the best option of their day, and likely still better than whatever this dude sourced. Not to mention their motion to photon was around 12 ms. The absolute best result this guy can hope for is 16.6ms, and that's only if everything else in the pipeline is faster than the screens refresh rate... maybe it is... but I wouldn't bet on it personally.

I'm sure it was a fun project though.

Superman can occasionally be well-written, he is far more commonly poorly written. But a well-written Superman is just as good as any other character.

I don't know about the current state of wired VR for Linux.

You are mostly stuck with ALVR for wireless and a few other options like that. Though if you like Linux, ALVR is basically the Linux of wireless VR anyway. You can get it working well if you really like spending time in settings menus instead of playing games, or copying someone else's pre-configured settings for similar hardware/networking gear/setup.

But there is a chance SteamVR/Steam link will get a decent push for Linux around the time of the Steam Frame(deckard) launch.

Hehe yeah, unfortunately the things you didn't like are also on the pro side of my pro/con list.

I like that you basically have a good reason to practice all the zones until they feel like tony hawk levels, you know all the lines and how to trick across all the gaps, hehe.

Stringing one combat across every enemy in the zone, getting that multiplier way up. Nothing to really spend the money on, but still fun to do.

Man, I need to play crosscode again. I think of all the games I have played in the last 40 years, that has been the best one. Feels like it was made specifically for me.

Who's got the odds on whether Trump knew that was a country before today, and if he could point to it on a map today?

There is also Hero's Hour, a fresh(relatively) indie take on the HoMM series. One major difference that might be polarising is that every unit is displayed rather than being a single stack, and combat happens live rather than in turns. But you can set it super slow and pause too if need be.

I generally hate RTS, but I really enjoyed it. It's got a fair bit of content. And so many factions that are all quite different from each other.

I have a fairly decent computer(4070s and a 7800x3d), it took about 100'000 units in active combat to start slowing it down. So no worries about how big HoMM armies can get and if it could run them all live. It can. Most of those units had to be summons, as it would take a pretty high levelled hero to have the stats necessary to field more than 10k units.

I think if I could hear the jingle it would be separated like:

It's the most wonderful time

of the year

Just given where the breaks are in the jingle.

Your specific wording is telling it to make up an answer.

What "would" this word mean? Implying it doesn't mean anything currently, so guess a meaning for it.

But yes, in general always assume they don't know what they are saying, as they aren't really capable of knowing. They do a really good job of mimicking knowledge, but they don't actually know.

I don't know the name of the meme, but the person is Drew Scanlon.

No one needs to be "given a message" to hate trump. It's the natural stance taken upon hearing even 1% of what he is about. We don't "hate" easily, he's just that easy to hate.

 

I assume they are two separate patents by two separate companies, but once those are both on the same can opener, there will be no reason to buy any other manual can opener. So when is the first one expiring?
