I can't wear contacts myself, I tried and they just fall out

Well if you can get the prescription for his glasses you can order from that vroptician
runic fox
I asked him to fill it out

Ok well it's official, Google knows my every move.
I just opened youtube and the top ad was for glasses. I don't even wear glasses any more.
I really should switch search providers but Google is so convenient I can't quit them

if oculus could figure out a better audio/headstrap solution, the quest 2 would definitively be the best headset on the market
*if that 120hz update works
calm reef
seems it is on the official roadmap now for march, would be interesting to see, but now i may need new cpu my pc cry sometimes in pavlov running through link 😦
halcyon fossil
yeah lol... i wonder if it will be able to do 120hz over link or only on headset
regardless of which, its gonna drain the headset battery much faster lol
how does apple still not have 120hz on their phones...
its on the ipad pros and it looks buttery smooth on those
but tbh the iphone 12 i tried at target felt no different than my 7 plus in terms of responsiveness
or smoothness if that makes sense

can i put psvr beat saber vids in here?
runic fox
how does apple still not have 120hz on their phones...

same with type c
halcyon fossil
how is this confirmed
runic fox
i thought I heard it was confirmed somewhere
lemme do some research
only leaks but they are all coming from a very reliable source, apparently
and even then, only for Pro models of the iphone 13
lemme see about type c
other (not as reliable) leaks suggest the iphone 13 wont have any ports at all, and will instead have a completely port-less design
guess I was wrong
¯_(ツ)_/¯

if you can WiFi 6 it all up then you can do that

my PCIe card might have 6 tho

otherwise you need a link cable

and link cables are like $70 sad
runic fox
3rd party sellers make them for far cheaper than Oculus does
gilded lion
how much cheaper
runic fox
half of what oculus sells them for at least
its just a higher speed type c cable, basically

so like $30?

Question for MSI laptop users: I’m looking to get a new gaming laptop. I will be running high end games on it but I also will use it for my music work, video renders, etc. I desire portability so don’t tell me about desktops.
The question is how are MSI’s typically speaking with cooling and reliability. I understand heat is always an issue but a good cooling system can extend the life of hardware. Please let me know your experiences!

bleak blade
Yeah, and I own a Quest 1.
I'm just trying to use Virtual Desktop to play Asgard's Wrath.
Since that'll NEVER be a Quest title.
Unless they compress the FORK out of the textures and audio.

Honestly, the whole "privacy" thing with Facebook is stupid. If you want your life to be private, just don't put things you want other people to know about on Facebook.
It's that simple.
halcyon fossil
bleak blade
Facebook doesn't trawl your email. It has no access to that.
It just knows to send emails to X email address.
halcyon fossil
they sell ur email address on a big list including data they track about tons of stuff u do in the headset
such as purchases
friends
chat
etc.
bleak blade
Oh no... Just like every other company does...
Privacy is basically a meme at this point in the world.
If you want to be private, you better be prepared to literally never touch a computer, phone, or car for the rest of your life.
halcyon fossil
linux tho
bleak blade
Still isn't private.
As long as you have a single footprint on the internet, your notion of privacy is gone.
Even with a VPN and Proxy.
Even if you delete "every" image of you on a single social media platform, someone has it backed up to some remote server somewhere.
calm reef
and that is why you never post in first place unless you are ok with everyone seeing
also i should think they keep oculus desk app up to date because their whole goal is to merge standalone and pcvr into one seamlessly but you are right. the app is not much focus atm
bleak blade
Yeah. I've uninstalled basically all games on the Oculus PC App that I can just load up on the Quest.
Which is everything... Except Asgard's Wrath.
Which, I just played for like, probably an hour and it's a really cool game.
Like, it's a legit game. Not just some 20 minute experience, or an Arcade game like Beat Saber.

halcyon fossil
budget cuts is a stealth puzzle game, boneworks is a half life without the story or characters game

boneworks physics were fun for like an hour
then they just felt cumbersome when i tried to do the puzzles

there was only one puzzle that I couldn't skip because of the physics themselves
in the Runoff level, the one with the barrels

thoughts on the new beat saber update: im all for the cleaner UI, i think its much improved over the old one. I liked the old music better, i feel like this one's loop is more noticeable and the old one had a space arcade vibe to it, something which beat saber kinda is. I like the new gameplay modifiers, however super fast song is uhhhh a challenge lol

halcyon fossil
get a quest 2 + link cable + elite head strap, total $430
full wing
alright
halcyon fossil
and yea i guess you could wait for whatever vive has to offer... but its probably just gonna be overpriced and less supported than oculus quest 2 imo
golden sable
eh idk perhaps
halcyon fossil
i may eat my words however idk vive has never been that great
full wing
ill wait for vive and decide then thx
halcyon fossil
cv1 was better than the vive in terms of controller and audio (the vive had no audio ), they didnt even have a headset out to compete with the quest and rift s unless you consider the cosmos which was overpriced and had about 2 million tracking issues, and now theyve just been very quiet
meanwhile, as im sure you know, quest 2 has been the no brainer purchase when it comes to vr as of recent
unless you have like a $1000+ budget :P
full wing
makes sense a 2 in 1 would be a no brainer
halcyon fossil
a 2 in 1 for less than a third of the price of the next hottest headset on the market
that being the valve index
golden sable
yeah vive often has the more expensive equipment of the 2
halcyon fossil
and less featured
golden sable
which is why the vive cosmos flopped lol
halcyon fossil
oculus touch has id say the gold standard for vr controllers
index controllers are too gimmicky...
golden sable
i just dont like how they use batteries instead of being chargeable
halcyon fossil
i bought rechargeable batteries lol
golden sable
at least for the touch 2 controllers
golden sable
i tried rechargeable batteries and they barely lasted me 4 days
halcyon fossil
i gtg but last comment, the oculus controllers sip power meanwhile i replaced my wmr controller batteries at least 2 times a day
huh
mine are fine
i have tenavolts ones off amazon
lithium rechargeable
led tracked controllers chew through power more
runic fox
just tape a big ol' battery to your arm
halcyon fossil
wmr controllers took 2 AA batteries per controller and lasted way less than oculus
i can only imagine reverb g2 being the same
but with half the batteries :P
runic fox
I like the knuckles controllers
a lot
rechargeable via type c, they last a long time (at least 6 hours per charge in my experience), they are durable, and obviously have hand tracking
also very comfy to wear
golden sable
i really want to upgrade my headset this year, its just that i dont know if i should wait or if i should just buy a valve index now
or at least wait for anything that vive has planned

It was only geometry, I like math, and I helped him with his computer so basically teacher's pet too so that didn't hurt 😜

Lol

I always had issues with homework

I apparently have 2.5TB of games on my desktop lmao
500GB left
I’m getting a 5TB external drive though when I get my new laptop
timid swan
I would love to know how much disk space I would need to install every one of my steam/other platform games.
vivid shale
Same lol
worthy spruce
I’m getting a 5TB external drive though when I get my new laptop
get 8tb minimum
runic fox
I would love to know how much disk space I would need to install every one of my...
probs around 3.5tb for me
all the free Epic Launcher games take up around 50-100gb each
vivid shale
Alright
vivid shale
Any idea where I can find a 8TB external then? I just looked at Newegg they have none
manic mural
WD external drives are nice
@vivid shale that site is also not that sus, lili's friend runs it
vivid shale
Alright thanks
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-8tb-external-usb-3-0-hard-drive-black/6425302.p?skuId=6425302
Jeez these are huge
Going to be a little annoying using it with the laptop as I use it on a bed...
Price is good for me though I was going to get their 5TB game drive which regular price was $150 so $30 more isn’t too bad

Now all I need is a drawing tablet
Which I already have one picked out It’s just that I’m asking for it as a birthday present and my birthday is in 8 months so I got a while to wait...
halcyon fossil
not sure if its the same software, but i know some wacom tablets come with some version of clip studio
ive got this one
vivid shale
Nice yeah I saw that but they come with a limited time of it usually as far as I knew
This is what I was recommended for a cheap option with a screen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WHBVWTN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6JSB6K7AKRKCZBRHWD0Z
halcyon fossil
ah, mine doesnt have a screen
then again i only use mine for schoolwork and osu :P
vivid shale
Lol I want to actually draw
I can use a mouse to draw but I’m not as good as on paper
halcyon fossil
you cant get anywhere near as precise on a mouse
vivid shale
Yeah but I jerk the mouse a lot by accident
And higher sensitivity is weird too I have to lower it
calm reef
Ye my intuos came with csp ive had it for a year i think? Not sure if there is time limit or not but its a nice software
halcyon fossil
i have photoshop regardless :P
calm reef
I should try drawing in ps
pale basin
use smoothing 
line go from wiggle to smooth
75% smoothing
higher it gets weird
unless you have high dpi
vivid shale
I would try ps but I’m not paying $1k for it...
spare folio
I would try ps but I’m not paying $1k for it...
yeah I 100 percent for sure own ps legitimately
its way too expensive ngl
vivid shale
Oh lol yeah
vivid shale
Nice
pale basin
warlocks arent as good as they used to be especially when it come to melee's for d2 compared to d1
and it hurts my soul as a warlock main across both games
runic fox
smh my head, imagine only getting a triple kill
watch me get a 'Naire next time I'm on
pale basin
i miss reach, ive said a few times already but i wish i could have my stuff from when i played back on the 360 on mcc
sold my 360 since i have no use for it, but it was the halo reach unsc edition 360
runic fox
the battle pass type thing they have isnt that hard to grind
runic fox
sold my 360 since i have no use for it, but it was the halo reach unsc edition 3...

timid swan
It's free
timid swan
True but not many battle royale style free games
cosmic umbra
thats true
sure but i see my friends spending so much money on in game currency which is super overpriced though
20 dollars for a cape is too much 😂
timid swan
Well yeah, how do you think they're running a massive server like that on a free game? Micro-transactions pay bills
timid swan
Lack of a real age gate for 8 year olds to pretend to shoot people to start... It will also run on a potato
It's a lot of hype tbh
crystal scaffold
it doesnt run on a potato
battle royale games run really badl
y
because the entire map has to be rendered
timid swan
The minimum requirements literally list an i3 with integrated graphics
vivid shale
why this one?
At least it gives the kids something to do than bothering us in other games lol
crystal scaffold
It's free
Its addictive
There is a huge incentive to join a match even after you lose a game
Because its popular, if you win you can brag
You can play with friends
There are endless possibilities for gun fights and building
There are a variety of cosmetics to choose from
There are a decent selection of guns to use
my old laptop had an i5 with integrated graphics
brazen osprey
tbh fortnite is like minecraft just cuz everyone has it
crystal scaffold
13 fps, lowest settings or soemthing
brazen osprey
that's why it's fun cuz you can play it in different platforms and crossplay with each other
brazen osprey
i mean
updates don't really matter tbh
i'd rather have the old fortnite than the new one
cosmic umbra
they do actually without it fortnite wouldnt still be alive
cosmic umbra
its "dying"
brazen osprey
compared to, 2-3 years ago
cosmic umbra
yeah
brazen osprey
but i mean it's still a fun game to play with friends, not really in the competitive area bruh cuz players have evolved
crystal scaffold
not really dead is it
cosmic umbra
i think people will move on to alex
brazen osprey
i remember when one would only build to go up
crystal scaffold
350 registers players
runic fox
because the entire map has to be rendered
Not quite how that works
crystal scaffold
its close enough to how it works lol
runic fox
Not really
If I’m playing No Man’s Sky, I’m not rendering an entire solar system all at once
It only renders what is near you
brazen osprey
minecraft would've been a better example bruh
crystal scaffold
no mans sky isnt a battle royale game is it
crystal scaffold
yeah im not talking about games in general
runic fox
I’m not rendering an entire 20km^2 island all at once
brazen osprey
what's sara saying is that the whole battlefield doesn't render in, only the things around you do
crystal scaffold
ye ik lol
cosmic umbra
if that was the case even a rtx 3090 overclocked to max would struggle to keep up with 60 fps on 2k
cosmic umbra
yup
crystal scaffold
All games are the same
yeah obviously the further away something is, the lower quality its rendered in
but
runic fox
yeah obviously the further away something is, the lower quality its rendered in
If it is rendered at all (big if), it’s 10 polygons and most per building
cosmic umbra
the thing is, you only render whats on your field of view not the entire island
otherwise performance would be terrible even on 480p
crystal scaffold
well say if someone was shooting you from the otherside of the map with a sniper
runic fox
This is what poorly optimized games look like
runic fox
well say if someone was shooting you from the otherside of the map with a sniper
The bullet travels on the server but not for you, graphically
cosmic umbra
only the bullet will be rendered
runic fox
It will look like it despawned at some point as well
crystal scaffold
yeah but you have to be able to see that person
cosmic umbra
not really
crystal scaffold
and the environment around them
cosmic umbra
based on what settings you have tho
crystal scaffold
in some detail
cosmic umbra
yeah
runic fox
yeah but you have to be able to see that person
False
runic fox
It does render far, don’t get me wrong
But not that far
And any farther than a certain distance, the Player Character will only be in 244p, with about 10 polygons, usually without a walking animation
And if there is one, it will be in 10 FPS
cosmic umbra
true
these games are optimized for these kinds of situations
if you rendered the entire map then that wouldnt have been much practical
runic fox
Not at all
cosmic umbra
?
crystal scaffold
fortnite on the switch has super low quality, and if you aim down sights then you can pretty much count the polygons, but its still rendering what you can see
there is quite a bit of fog tho isnt there
runic fox
You just made an argument supporting our claims
Lmao
The switch is basically a potato
runic fox
Happens to the best of us
I’m not trying to argue, just educate
Most stuff (like your sniper bullet, for example) happens server side
You don’t actually see the bullet, just what your system thinks is happening to the bullet
The server may calculate something different
This is where bad hitreg comes into action but that’s a different thing
tame cobalt
I wish I could experience playing on the switch
Animal crossing is fun
Mario kart too
runic fox
Especially with your HD 6320 lmao
runic fox
Just get a 3DS emulator and play New Leaf
runic fox
Lmao
I should put my specs in my name
Nah
3800x cooled with an EK 360mm, RTX 3070, 32gb 3600mhz CL16, TUF X570, P400a
cosmic umbra
yeah so whrn you need help for a game or etc they can see what your specs are and help you with drivers and stuff

I’m fairly certain my rig can run just about any game
cosmic umbra
yup definetely
runic fox
Cyberpunk suffers sometimes but I always have RTX on so
runic fox
I regularly help people make new builds and troubleshoot and stuff here
cosmic umbra
and wont go back on
runic fox
what if ur pc suddenly crashes?
Find error code, fix problem
runic fox
Check PSU and connections
timid swan
Sara can definitely diagnose her own hardware
runic fox
Reseat stuff if needed
Check my hardware inside of other builds
Reset whatever is needed (like CMOS or whatever)
cosmic umbra
Nice
runic fox
The problem usually falls into one of those 4 solutions
cosmic umbra
and what if it doesnt?
runic fox
If not, it’s a good possibility that a piece of hardware is dead
cosmic umbra
jk😂
oh i see
thats kinda trus
i remember i had a bad flash drive to instsll windows on my pc with it
and it dhowed the same error all the time
so i was trying again and again for like 1.5 hours
until i realized it was dead
😂🤣
runic fox
Funny
cosmic umbra
haha that sounds great
i remember i got around 1000 fps on witcher 3 loading screen but in game 100+ fps
still butter smooth
runic fox
Witcher was hard on my 5700 XT cause of the lack of Nvidia optimizations but it’s absolutely butter on this 3070

any1 want to play some cold war zombies?
median blade
idk if it is just me, but my gpu coil whines in apex legend a lot. I play any other game and there is minimal to no coil whine and I am not sure why.
timid swan
What GPU?
latent ore
The more FPS you have, the more likely the whine is to happen.
tame cobalt
un-fpses your gpu
timid swan
vsync time 😅
latent ore
Interesting, I always just uncheck it right out of the gate XD
timid swan
Yeah I only use vsync in things that I'm going more than double the refresh rate to conserve power
median blade
It is the 3080fe. I mean in valorant uncapped I get 300-500fps, but no coil whine. I played cyberpunk 2077 and no coil whine, but when it comes to apex I guess the combination of 200+ fps and more gpu usage is causing coil whine
tame cobalt
Minecraft used to be so sluggish after like 1.8 because vsync was enabled on my pc
Then I disabled it and got normal framerates
bleak blade
It is the 3080fe. I mean in valorant uncapped I get 300-500fps, but no coil whi...
Just use Closed Back headphones, can't hear coil wine that way
runic fox
But muh audio quality 
bleak blade
I mean, there are plenty of great closed back headphones.

@runic fox @timid swan also, found this save, 225 years in, 6655 pop, ~1.2mil fleet power, 97 planets lol
and Ryo prob has even better saves than me
runic fox
How do you get so much fleet power so fast
I’m 400 years in and only have 300k combined power
runic fox
I’m still destroying the Fallen Empires for the time being but still
manic mural
that save is with 1300 fleet cap
runic fox
how much fleet cap
Around 500 I think?
manic mural
bruh
runic fox
It’s my first save, cut me some slack
I didn’t know I needed anchorages or that I could build more shipyards
manic mural
You'll want stations dedicated to anchorages
and also
specific thingies
the stuff that uses unity
runic fox
Hm?
manic mural
policy
runic fox
Ah
manic mural
one of them gives extra fleet cap
runic fox
I haven’t even touched politics yet
manic mural
I'll fire up stellaris again
400 years in you should have all ascension perks already right
runic fox
Yeah
manic mural
Use your unity on edicts, especially this one @runic fox
manic mural
and ofc don't forget to spam the edicts that use rare resources, good buffs
also, research very important, this is how my research looks on my 2425 save
manic mural
on this save, I'm on the 16th renewable or whatever it's called for energy and some others
runic fox
BRB
manic mural
this is my top bar in the 2425 save
and of my 46 stations, like half of them are anchorages lel
runic fox
My lord
That’s quite a bit
I’ll have to remember all this when I play the all consuming hivemind
manic mural
yes
runic fox
What exactly happens when I run out of energy?
It’s happened to me because big fleets a few times but it didn’t seem to have any visible affect?
@manic mural
timid swan
Fleets start disbanding automatically for one
manic mural
@runic fox when you're out of energy, buildings that require energy as upkeep stop, fleets get a horrible debuff, it's like -50% shield -50% attack kind of debuff, and you'll get unrest
