So stuck with iframes which although I can hide to some extent, are terrible.
I kind of feel that given the "simplicity" of a single class wrapping custom elements, everything is pretty boring.
Note: I cannot do better.
I am not talking about Skiving heatsinks specifically, but clearly this is a needed tool, so how did it come to be? What is the job title?
Someone in this case, needed heatsinks quick, so how did it go from someone needing lots of heatsinks to an industrial tool?
Was there a guy shaving copper manually, and some (job title) came to the factory and suggested creating a moving table with a blade to optimise the creation?
I found it strange that I am boosted, masked, and sanitized, plus I am isolated as I am an unpaid carer for a family member with poor health and I managed to catch the bloody cold!
It seemed suspect to me as well but of course, anecdotal.
Is it pure luck that Omicron is more transmissible but apparently less severe than Delta? What is to stop the next variant being more transmissible than Omicron but 10 times more deadly?
I know news outlets are really bad for clickbait titles, but I read yesterday that a new variant was detected in South France in the last few days? When will the carnival end and what does it mean?
It's comical to the point that I don't know if people here are serious or taking the piss.
Forgive me that it is "finicky" in my "specific setup".
Paying 80 pound for a wire so I can play titles such as Alyx while being wired seems reasonable to me. I mean, they literally sell you a wire for 1/3 the cost of the headset as a product so there is a market for it and they should provide me with a "Don't ask again" checkbox given that it's the same system but they don't?
Very few things conceptually work well in VR. Sorry. Lets see how you play FIFA for example or literally anything that doesn't involve just arm and head movements that is worth the effort.
I am very aware of the VR market and out of everything you said, the only thing I will accept is "I Expect you to Die" and it's sequel but the rest of those are tired at best bringing nothing new.
Sorry friend, I doubt I will be ringing bells any time soon for the "METAVERSE" based on what I have seen whilst keeping in mind that I am aware that I can play what are essentially bad unity games on my headset without PCVR.
I did though and I feel like I can't be the only one who finds it really frustrating to the point of making me furious.
1. I started with my eyes at floor level.
2. It moans about a guardian, this by far is the most soul sapping thing of all time. The thing is, I have dev mode, but I do find guardian useful (I punched some walls previously). It's just so annoying though.
3. It asks me to set up guardian every fucking time.
4. Followed by when I try the Oculus Link... do I want to trust this computer.
5. I start steam VR but it doesn't work as it cannot find my headset but at this point, I am strapped in and 2 meters from my desk (ala stationary guardian) so I take it off to restart steam VR and the Oculus app.
6. Sometimes the Oculus app simply doesn't work and I have to reinstall it.
7. For some reason my Oculus link cable is loose unlike other USB-C cables/ports so it disconnects from the movement of my standing desk intermittently enough to not be a problem but also highly annoying.
8. Sometimes things don't start in VR but in Flat mode, this means removing the headset to sort it out (see point 5). I feel like jumping in and out of the experience makes it almost unusable.
It really doesn't take me long to just give up.On the news the other day there was a guy from Microsoft and Facebook talking about how like "WOAH AVATARS ARE THE FUTURE". Like it is something new. I actually stopped playing Consoles (PS3/360?) because of all the Avatar setup shit with profiles. It's just that but in a fake office or room looking at bad 3d avatars and somehow this changes everything....
There is a long way to go. The best thing I have ever seen on my Oculus was when my girlfriend sent me a porn film for a laugh and it was actually pretty good as far as experiences go.
In saying all of this though. Beat Sabre and Super Hot are genuinely good experiences but they are as old as time itself so I feel that very very few things work well in VR. They are either completely shit (Skyrim VR etc), or very good with no in between.
