I’m gonna have a helluva headache tomorrow. Don’t get drunk when you are old, takes like 3 days to recover.

Did you eat bacon when you got home?  Throw a big pile in the microwave and that stuff soaks up alcohol like a champ.....and tastes great.  Follow up with some excedrin and big glass of water and yoi'll barely notice.    

Last year from sitting so much at work home my knee buckled completely after running 6 miles.  The muscles surrounding it had become so weak they couldn't support it properly.  

Got a rowing machine and everything improved vastly.  I do that now along with back stretching and foam rolling and light weights.

Working to add more yoga

Oh and Herman Miller Aeron Chair

Seems to be working in bringing sedentary weight down and reducing pains

I have a rug and it does wonders...especially if you play barefoot.   I would also recomend some type of small three legged stool that you can easily grab and place for sitting.   Or.....a beanbag chair works really great too.  

Quite the clusterfuck of a launch...but still better than this year.

Ya'll weren't kidding when you said the elite strap is so much better...

 

The ability to click in and out makes it a ton easier to get a good fit.

Not sure if you want to spend the big bucks but the Super Elite with battery is even better...that battery adds a nice automatic counterweight....but I'm sure you'll see a lot of mods on ETSY and Amazon soon with even more comfortable straps/facemasks for cheap

So up until yesterday I have played VR sitting down and thought I had strong VR legs... I was wrong playing standing up is only working for about the length of the Superhot VR demo. I need to start playing standing up some more Superhot seems like a good game to start with (felt a little easier than Until You Fall standing did). I'm honestly surprised it was such a big difference because I was still standing in one spot.

When i am walking in VR I try and just walk in place as much as possible and it seems to help a lot. I also do the head bob as I walk...looks ridiculous but it helps my inner ear.   

Flight sims are still my achilles heel unless it's set in space.   Doing an Immelmann makes me gut check pretty hard because the eyes and inner ear dont want to agree which probably makes things worse

Preordered the Reverb 2. Hype time boys.

Hearing good things about that one too.   You know...the FOV thing.....I wonder if it's because I do Paintball and Scuba that it doesn't bother me that much.  When I switch between my VIVE PRO and Quest it never really bothers me....

Maybe? I'm not sure what will happen but it's tough for me to think that his rallies will be nearly as popular when it becomes apparent that Trumpism is responsible for decimating the Republican party. I'm almost certain his ability to publicize himself will be severely curtailed almost immediately after leaving office. I foresee Fox News cutting off almost all their Trump coverage immediately after he leaves office  and I would guess that he gets booted off the major social networks (Twitter, Facebook, etc) shortly after he leaves office as well. 

 

(this is all asssuming the election goes as the polls are indicating and the GOP isn't able to pull off some major election shenanigans).

 

 

You greatly misunderstand the problem.  Trump is a product of populism.  If he loses...the message won't be of his failure due to policy..it will be because the election was stolen and he's the victim.   As the Boomers die off and GOP power falters....younger populist Republicans will cling to that narrative with every fiber of their being....they aren't going to have a come to jesus moment where they realize the failures of their party.....it will be someone elses fault.

I literally have relatives who have taken advantage of disability to not work (1 took a whole year off and went camping and 4 wheeling after suffering back problems at work) who will openly criticize welfare moms.  Several of my aunts who never had any interest in politics at all actually went to every Trump rally in Minnesota.

Should I get this, Vive, or Index? Or wait I guess for Index 2? Are there any rumors for that? 

 

I want to get one for Star Wars and Rick and Morty.

I have the Vive Pro and Quest and I fully enjoy each....right now the Vive Pro offers me an overall better visual experience, but the Quest 2 will catch up so to speak in the visuals department.  The only thing that makes me hesitatnt about the Quest 2 is that it does not have full IPD adjustment..it has several options with sort of set ranges....which may or may not work for some people including myself if I fall outside of thos eranges.  I'm getting it from Amazon so if the IPD doesn't work for me I'll just stick with my OG Quest And Vive Pro.  

The next real advancement is putting foveated rendering in the lower priced headsets.  But as for this...I think $299 will give you a solid product and pricepoint for both standalone and connected use.

I'm pretty sure Facebook will purge completely inactive accounts. 

The account wouldn't be inactive since you're using it to log into VR.    There's no requirement to have lots of stuff on your page or like things or even post.  I do get that some people don't want this...but FB is a company and overall the work they did with the original Occulus Quest was awesome......you buy a Google product like the DayDream VR and they just straight fucked their users.    

Facebook on the other hand continued with solid experience changing updates from Day 1 on the Quest and immediatly followed up with a solid upgrade a year and a half out.  That's a big reason why I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here on this decision. They have proven to be a company that seems willing to bring VR to broad public use....

btw  I heard some really good buzz about Blair Witch VR.....

I'll pay more attention when they actually lose in court. Making an accusation is far different than proving it. If I had to worry about corporations being sneaky...I wouldn't have any apps on my phone or iPAD.

Besides.. the data from my SF86 including my biometric fingerprints already got stolen from OPM....Not much left to steal lol

I have mine coming next Tuesday to replace my OG Quest..also have a Vive Pro.  I'll send that one to my brother.

I think VR is gonna kill movie theaters for me completely.  I really enjoy watching horror movies in VR Movie theatres.

Playing Star Wars Squadrons in VR has been nothing short of Amazing.  

As for Facebook...I mean...create a FB Account and just leave it blank.  You're not required to friend anyone or add things you like or follow anything. It is useful as a social hub for VR if you're into that, but you don't have to. You can leave all the personal stuff about completely blank.  

Just use it as a login.  So FB tracks what games you buy or how much time you spend gaming or in VR.....  not exactly something for me to worry about.

Game prices have remained stagnant for what... almost 20 years at this point? We’re long overdue for an increase. My ass paid $70 for FFIII and Chrono Trigger on the SNES.

True...I recall paying $70 for Shadows of the Empire on N64..and that was 1996-97.

Obviously I'd rather spend less than more money...but it's no big thing.

Same thing here. I love a good challenge but just had enough at that point and stopped giving a shit. The investment was too high.

The game has an active slider for difficulty...can't you just lower it for a boss fight and then raise it again?

If I were a 4th grader at a public school..and didn't have a cell phone...then that would be awesome
