I have been looking into the Index pretty hard. I just don't think it's enough of an upgrade to justify the purchase. At least, not when I already have the Rift, Vive, and PSVR. One of the big reasons is the lack of wireless support. I run the TPcast (with openTPcast loaded up) on the Oculus...

There's no way I'd give them money. Everyone knows that lego set is fake...

It's been getting steadily worse for a while now. The ones that irritate me the most though are when you want to watch a trailer. I have had the trailer of the movie show up as an add before the actual video of the trailer... I don't know much about monetization of youtube videos, but I do...

That's actually the point where my whole view is thrown out. When you're building for a game that is still in development, the usual precepts of PC resource use are relatively useless. For SC, I'm actually hoping they keep the bar pretty high. I know that it might alienate a few players, but...

If you have a 6700k now, I'd still think other stuff would matter more. You're running a 4ghz+ quad core, 8 thread cpu. I'd wager a guess that if you kept an eye on your resource monitor, your 8 virtual cpus will rarely go over 30% even under a heavy gaming load. The same is likely for your...

So since I have a TPCast on my Rift, I decided to look back into the 2.0 version (TPCast plus/air). I ran across this article that honestly could change the game for all Quest buyers. https://uploadvr.com/ces-2019-tpcast-air/ Streaming games has been a thing for a while, but it never really...

Haha, this is why I recommend that everyone at least try it out. My local Best Buy, for instance, runs a demo Rift unit. A couple other stores offer the same. The problem is, nobody understands until they actually step into VR. Our gaming market has been saturated by overhyped trash and...

Just FYI, the version that's on twitch isn't choppy. Here's the link (the Youtube video starts at 21:23): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/430443641 I really don't see the point right now honestly. I'm still running a 4790 (not even K and overclocked) and don't see any issues at all. I can...

That's a risk with any company. There have been many companies that started by providing a great service, but evolved into typical corporate greed. It is a very popular story. It won't take Disney to show Netflix the profitability of greed. The only thing we can do is hope that it does't...

That's pretty much the heart of the issue. So many shows and movies are created with the intent of getting views not out of quality, but of fandom. Video games do the same thing. Movie to video game translations are rarely anything other than a cash grab. Of course, that doesn't stop the...

Hell yea! Portal 2 still ranks as one of my top 5 all time favorite games. On the actual caves though, that sounds amazingly promising. As big as this game is supposed to be, I can only hope that this eventually develops into cave bases. I'd love to have a secret moon cave base.

This is exactly the point that the media is missing. You can have Netflix, Hulu, Funimation, AND Disney. You can combine all of those and it'll still be cheaper than a cable TV subscription. When it comes out, I'll get Disney+. For $6 a month, why not? It won't disrupt any of my other...

So this article popped up for some reason in my suggestions. Netflix has 175 days left to pull off a miracle... or it's all over. They're saying that in 175 days, Disney's new streaming service is going to put Netflix out of business. The writer claims to be a "professional investor and...

Regarding the article, I try to stay away from name brand news. Forbes is one of those. They used to be a trusted name in business, but now are little more than over dramatic click bait. This article is no exception. There is a statement I heard a long time back, "the first million is...

I have been a VR owner since the first Oculus hit the shelves. I dipped my toe in with the GearVR when I bought a galaxy s7 and jumped in with both feet as soon as the rift came out. Since then, I bought a Vive for my wife and a PSVR for my daughter. So we have all three major players. There...

Happy Birthday! I find birthdays a great time to stop and smell the roses, metaphorically speaking. You look about the same age as me, give or take (and no, I don't look like my avatar). At least we have the same taste in efficient hair cuts... Just look back at all the human progress we...

It never ceases to amaze me how some people try to fancy up their words in an attempt to make them sound legitimate. That, combined with straw man arguments and feigned offense, are the entirety of a forum bully's toolbox. Logic is met with anger. Fact is met with convoluted nonsense. Any...

I tried the inventor path for a while in my off time. You're right. It does require a jack of all trades. It's also amazingly fun for the right kind of person. I just couldn't find a way to sufficiently monetize it. Every idea that I had either turned out to be too small, or after...

Since @supitza and others are either looking into a career change or are still searching for their "calling", I figured I'd share my opinion on the matter. [$0.02] As I mentioned I have worked a ton of different jobs in a pile of different fields. It looks like many of you have as well. In...

For the vast majority of my life, I suffered from what could only be called "job related ADD". I've worked a ton of jobs from prison guard to running a strip club, HVAC installer to home building, private security to office manager and just about everything in between. I've been drawn to just...
