Ever since the pandemic, I wanted a multiplayer skateboarding game where the social aspects of it are just as important as the mechanics so you can hang out with your friends and skate in a way that feels authentic to doing it in real life. Instead of having a plain multiplayer lobby, you could have an apartment you could decorate that you guys could hang out in before you pick the map. You'd be able to sit on your skateboard or chairs and benches to get out of the way-or also to be an obstacle if you wanted. It would also be pretty cool to edit a map in real-time by having some items be movable by the players, like kickers. The maps would vary between skateparks, street skate spots, and DIY spots that have been modified to be more skateable. There could be a couple NPCs you could skate with if you don't have any friends online, but they would be more predictable in how they behave. There could also be NPCs that are purely obstacles, as well.

I’m using the Quest 2 and loving it. I recently moved my router (a Netgear Orbi) into my office and I’ve been using AirLink instead of the tether and it’s actually working super well. Probably gonna shell out the cash for the Quest 3 when it comes out because I think the fresnel lenses are the biggest drawback of the Quest 2.

For games I’ve been playing Into the Radius, a heavily moded version of Skyrim VR, and Demeo. If you like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, Into the Radius is almost like an unofficial sequel and is soooooo immersive. Skyrim VR is worth the trouble of modding. Feels like a new game. Demeo is just a lot of fun to play with friends, but the amount of time it takes to play a full game usually kills my headset battery.

saigot, do gaming w Critic Reviews: DAVE THE DIVER

I just finished the game (40hrs) I would greatly recommend it.

It has some rough edges, it could benefit from a few QOL changes, and there’s also some weirdly useless mechanics (it rained almost every single day after unlocking the farm, making the watering can a bit of a joke, the sea people currency is far too easy to get) and the sleep gun is far too powerful compared to anything else.

That said it was a very enjoyable romp, I really liked all the pretty animations for upgrading stuff and the game had a lot of delightful one off mechanics which were fun.

You don’t have right to free speech on the Diablo forums.

MyNamezAnt,

100% agreed. After much though the issue is Substance Vs. Form… I suppose different wording might be looked at differently. Or Maybe all critics are banned?

PaupersSerenade, do gaming w Can you guys recommend some good games for me that would work well on an MBP M2 Max?
@PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works avatar

The Gaming Porting Toolkit has worked fairly well for me with Diablo 4, so I imagine more PC-only games will be available as well as it exits beta. In the meantime Baldur’s Gate 3 (early access) and No Man’s Sky have native Mac support and I love how much time you can spend with them. I admittedly mainly play PC with those.

I also played the Middle-earth games on Mac if you’re looking for a more linear style of narrative.

Was a sleeper - not sure it still counts, because it caught some good press, but Pentiment. Way more fun and engrossing than any short description makes it sound. And I feel like I even learned a bunch from it!

isn’t better to buy a WMR headset? Probably cheaper and supported natively by windows

@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I own a PS4 so having the dual functionality would be nice though I would primarily be using it for videos. As I said in another comment they are also quite cheap (~$100) where I live and I’d like to avoid any of Meta’s software and only Oculus products (and the PSVR) are available second hand

@minishoemaze@beehaw.org avatar

Are you looking at the original or psvr2?

I believe the experience is more complete (though unofficial) with psvr1, but work is underway for psvr2 compatibility (again, unofficial)

Edit: psvr2 progress: twitter.com/iVRy_VR?s=20

I am looking at the original. They can be found real cheap where I live second hand

minishoemaze,
@minishoemaze@beehaw.org avatar

I have 0 experience with it, but from what I can tell that same iVRY project is complete for psvr1 (and some other headsets)

harpuajim,

If you’re going to buy second hand then you’d be better off with a WMR or Oculus device.

richyawyingtmv,

Don’t bother.

I tried this route, you’ll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.

Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can’t play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You’re basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.

Also you don’t need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I own a Rift S as well and absolutely hate Meta’s software. On the hardware side of things I’ve had pretty much constant disconnection issues

richyawyingtmv,

Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.

Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?

Commenting here so I see a response. Apologies in advance.

HeyLow,

Likely just a usb bandwidth limit you are hitting, try unplugging other devices that arent in use, I had this issue with my rift cv1 Edit* Also plug your rift directly into a usb 3.0 port on your motherboard, hubs even powered ones can cause issues with high bandwidth devices

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I have tried that. I unplugged everything except a wireless keyboard I used to navigate the menus and it didn’t help

HeyLow,

Odd last troubleshooting thing I can think of is to try plugging it into one of your front panel usbs since they are usually using a separate usb controller. Otherwise you might just have a defective unit

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Due it being like this since I got it, an intermittent issue, and a common issue online I don’t think it is the unit. Killing Oculus’ software and restarting it would occasionally get it to work so I feel like it might be that. I spent sometime reading Oculus Support threads and others shared my suspicions.

My only other thought would have been my motherboard or power supply. My CPU, GPU, and RAM should be enough.

yoichi, do piracy w Seedbox recommendations (thinking of switching)

Don’t think about the speeds advertised by providers, you’ll never come close to them. You seem to require a media server, so give more importance to storage.

From my research comparing HostingBy, SeedHost and Ultra.cc - HostingBy has the highest €/TB rate except for the 1TB box which is ironically the highest €/TB rate

Here’s the Google Sheet if you’re interestedIgnore the remarks and INR part, I’m Indian so wanted to see what I would end up paying

I will add on more providers at some point, but these 3 are the big names with decent prices and support.

As for your other problem of app selection, I don’t think you’ll find any of those in most providers natively (except for Transmission). You can request them, but its not a quick process. Instead of that, try installing them yourself. Even without root, it shouldn’t be impossible, the only thing that may be annoying is you may not be able to setup reverse proxy so you’ll need to access those services with ip:port

Jaxseven, do gaming w Time to Move on From PS5?
@Jaxseven@beehaw.org avatar

While I will always mention how much I love my Steam Deck, I will say having a console you can buy physical discs secondhand is quite nice. Sure the PS5 is a lot of power just to run something like Bugsnax, but I can’t buy a physical copy for my Steam Deck, which I know I really own.

You could even go into a retro game store and see what you walk away with, games you never heard of or just a stack of cheap former AAA games. You could also go on Itch.io and just poke around for any obscure indie that sparks your interest. Once you get away from the glitz and glamour of AAA hype, you’ll get excited about sharing games people haven’t heard about or discovering something you wouldn’t find walking into a GameStop.

Limeaide,

To me, having an SD card with DRM free games is even better than physical copies for switch and such. I’ve bought switch games before that aren’t actually on the cartridge and you have to download a bunch of stuff to get it running.

Not only that, but files can easily be transferred and copied wherever you’d like.

Idk if that’s an issue on ps5 and xbox

HidingCat, do gaming w Time to Move on From PS5?

I mean, I've never really liked consoles, but it doesn't sound like the console itself is the issue here. Most of the indies I play on PC also have a PS port, so you should be able to find a lot of non-AAA and non-overhyped titles on the PS platform.

I suppose there's also the matter of weighing the prices too; for me I always need a pretty beefy PC to begin with so having a console is just additional expense for a worse experience, but that's for me. You might have to pay quite a bit more and get a lot more games for PC's cheaper games to break even on the decision to move.
