Ugh, still not open source. The author of the original mod vanished shortly after announcing they would open source the mod, which basically stalled further development (like this) for years. Downloads are distributed via Discord. Only issue tracking is done via Github.

It probably doesn’t work with Linux either because the original mod overwrote the same dll as dxvk does.

pycorax,

Downloads are distributed via Discord.

Who the heck thought this was a good idea?

vonxylofon,

Discord is a blight, it’s an affront to human knowledge, and it should die a painful and fiery death.

Nice idea… Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

I heard from a former CA member the official Isolation VR port was personally scrapped by Ridley Scott because he didn’t want players taken from his personal VR project/game, The Martian. 🙄

Nah I’m good, thanks. I don’t enjoy shitting my pants.

Played this on my CV1 Rift back in the day. You WILL shit your pants. This and Subnautica are just too goddamn stressful for me in VR.

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited )

Playing Subnautica after the first playthrough isn’t nearly as scary, but still so much fun. I’d suggest playing it first on normal flatscreen, and then playing it a 2nd time in VR.

Edit: make sure to grab the vr fix mods off nexus mods if playing in vr. There is one to fix audio and one to fix controls. These are basically mandatory for a good experience.

That means they are asking so much that it wouldn’t even hurt them that much.

From another article:

Reporting from Bloomberg indicated that Nintendo had apparently anticipated an amount of tariff-related chaos. In February, Nintendo had been building “a stockpile of millions of consoles” from Vietnam, where two-thirds of assembled consoles are now being earmarked for shipments to the US. Any Nintendo consoles assembled in China, meanwhile, would face an import tariff that—at time of writing—has risen to 245%.

Seems like they’re using the tried and true method to avoid the tariffs but I do wonder how long this will actually last then.

mEEGal,

wait… is it 145% or 245% ?

Mad__vegan,

Give it another week and it will be 345%…

MufinMcFlufin,

I had heard previously the tariff would be 145% so I guess this is referring to a total price of 245%.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s due to the ‘don’t call them exemptions’ covering the console but not separate controllers.

With taxes the controller is now over 100$. Hope your kids dont break it…

S_H_K,

I’m not from us but I’m holding off buying since the first tease. That little thingy that pop out from the switch and goes onside the controller looks worrisomely flimsy. It breaks and is no more docked mode anymore. Hell probably no more charging.

trigonated,

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Are you talking about the Joycons? The ones from the switch 1 are less flimsy than they look Photo of the Joycons sitting on a table

Also, these are not required for docked mode (if you have another controller, of course. You need a way of controlling the console), not required for charging and you can buy new ones if you lose or break the ones that come with the console.

SkunkWorkz,

They’re talking about the controller connector on the console that protrudes out. Nintendo should’ve opted for spring loaded pogo pins instead.

Nythos,

MrWhoseTheBoss has a video on the S2 and says the connectors were sturdier than expected.

How much they hold up to the haphazardness of people whom don’t care about their tech and children is another matter to be seen.

S_H_K,

No no I mean in the console the black thingy that reminds a micro sd card. Is rarely shown in pics. That thing looks like it will break any day really 1000012036

trigonated,

Oh right. Yeah, it looks fragile

S_H_K, (edited )

I’ve heard “it’s made of metal” but still I do not think it’s a good design. You have magetic clamps it should align enough for a contact surface thingy. Edit: seems to be called pogo pin.

mesamunefire,

At least for me, we had 2/4 joycons develop stick drift and we had to replace the sticks with magnetic ones. It was expensive, but worth it. But ill be honest, for the price, im not looking to get the Switch 2 this time around.

Or stick drift, because - hall effect? That’s too expensive (as in, less controllers would be sold)
