th_in_gs, do gaming w Game Pass - What's your favorite sleeper hit?

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!

minishoemaze, do gaming w How well does PSVR work on PC?
@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@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@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

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.

KaapeliTV, do gaming w Find a Party for Baldurs Gate 3

Yeah I would be down for that. I also play mostly in the evenings or weekends. My time zone is EEST. Also this is my first game in the series, but I have played the previous larian games.

SpringStorm, do piracy w Do you store all your media? And how?

Games and softwares: I store the installers, delete if I don’t like it

Music: store them all, even if some songs in an album isn’t my cup of tea

Videos: want to save all of them, but my storage is pretty small in the first place, so I pick the ones I really like

Ebooks: only downloaded a few, but still save them all

Mangas: usually save unless I don’t really like it or no reason to reread

Sidyctism, do gaming w Good singleplayer games without any story?

I finally got superhot: mind control delete during the summersale. Very simple but engaging combat mechanic, and story is kept to a minimum

GrimReaperCZ,

Played that quite a long time ago. Such a good game.

WaterWaiver, do gaming w I finished Killer Frequency today and goddamn was it a fun game.

Something nice to see when I searched the steam forum for this game:

FoV is in the settings

Yay!

A few years back I tried playing the original Halo 1. It gave me headaches and my brain simply couldn’t enjoy it.

On a similar note: a lot of modern games using Unity or Unreal seem to be magnets for mouse delay and filtering; which makes me very uncomfortable when playing. Those that have bought Killer Frequency: does it have any of this?

Nyla_Smokeyface,

I never noticed anything like that.

Nice. Mine were all bright red or pink (depending on which TV I was playing on).

@EvaUnit02 I really love the Souls games but have been hesitant to try AC. Where would you recommend a new player start in the series?

EvaUnit02,
@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

Well, understand that it doesn't really play like a Souls game at all. That said, I'd probably just wait for the new one if you're excited for it. If not, either AC4 or AC5 would probably be the way to go. The early games didn't map camera movement to the right stick; so, I would avoid those as a newcomer.

AC4 plays a lot more "super robot-y" than the other games. AC5 has much smaller mechs by scale which makes terrain and cover much more important tactical considerations.

@xuxxun@beehaw.org avatar

You can start with either, does not matter. I finished both, liked both. And both of the games were equally laggy and buggy for me. I sure hope the Rougue trader game will be less buggy.

pelikan, do piracy w Spotify alternative

vk.com has the best music streaming library, if you need underground stuff. You’ll need to register there and browser with adblock feature (i’m using Vivaldi) if you don’t want to listen to audio commercials in Russian language.

If Crusader Kings is ever combined with Mount & Blade, I'll never see daylight again.

realitista, do gaming w Are there any good VR games yet?

resident evil village is an amazing fully fleshed out AAA title

@spike@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But that’s PS5 VR exclusive, OP said he had a Quest 2 and I believe the VR Patches for PC are still quite janky.

realitista,

I was just answering OP’s question. Real AAA titles are few and far between, but most of them are on PSVR2 and PC. I am a quest owner and have had lots of nice experiences in Quest, but none of them qualified as AAA to me.

@flyinghorse@beehaw.org avatar

You can play either and they are both fantastic. wotr then kingmaker might be a better order though since imo the difficulty curve is better done in wotr so it might be the easier of the two to learn the system with
