Did anyone win? I don’t mean here just in general or is it still going

I switched to dual sense for this and I’m definitely glad I did, feels great. I need to remember to connect it for supported games more often. I have a long usb-c cable that works well, though I could use maybe a 25’ instead of 20’ just so I have more slack to walk over the cord. Im taking a side break from the Burning Shores itself and doing some side missions I didn’t do on my first play through to pad this out - it’s too pretty here to rush through in 10 hours.

I beat 7/12 of those - Of the 5 I didn’t beat I would be more likely to play BG3 than DOS2, DD2 than DD1, and probably Space Marine 2 at this point since the original is so old. Though if I got hyped closer to SM2 I could potentially play the original first. That leaves Days Gone which I have some progress in and is indeed on my list to get back to! I am also interested in Web of Shadows but idk if there is a pc port.

Also this is the first headset I’ve worn that doesn’t kind of shake around your face if you move your head side to side quickly. It fits really snug to where if one wanted to, exercising with it on would work way better than any other headset I’ve tried. Biggest negatives so far are still just it doesn’t have any freakin controllers so you can’t do real VR games on it and you can’t use it for pcvr. Which isn’t what this is for but damnit this would be insane if you could play like Alyx on it. Edit: Apparently the Virtual Desktop person is indeed working on a port for Vision :O They say it will take awhile but damn that would be crazy. Idk how controllers will work but off the top of my head maybe the self tracking Quest Pro controllers could be the answer? Using Vibe controllers/base station doesn’t sound like a good solution though it would work.

The other thing I’ll add for first impressions is the obvious: Besides the display/magic trick itself the really stand out thing as someone who has used a bunch of ar/vr devices is the interface. This is not surprising but always amazing to see with a new device just how good Apple is at intuitive interfaces. I don’t really use hand tracking on Meta at all. I don’t like how it feels, doesn’t seem quite accurate enough still, the controllers are a lot better there. It took like two seconds here to navigate around hands free like it was second nature. To the point that afterwards back in bed on my apple tv I kept trying to navigate the same way because it’s so smooth to do. A lot of that is by building navigation around eye tracking from the jump but I mean Meta had the technology as an option for Meta3 and passed so thats on them.

I’ll be able to answer comfort better after using it for a bit but my initial impression is actually that the solo strap everybody complained about is a lot more comfortable than I thought it would be. I haven’t tried the strap that is supposed to be the comfy one yet. The actual inside is very comfortable. With the solo strap it feels about as heavy as a meta3 with the elite strap to me but with more room to breathe. It’s still not something you’d take out and walk around with all day of course, but if the other strap is even more comfy I imagine wearing it for hours around the home isn’t difficult. One other quick thing I realized I actually like that I thought of as a negative before is how the battery is external. Besides keeping that weight out it just makes charging nicer. You can put the headset wherever you want and it doesn’t need to be near a charger, then you can easily charge the battery more discretely. I also like how you can just get an extra battery as well to easily swap and extend the life.

I guess I’ll use this thread so I got my macbook pro and vision all set up, if only that oled came out in April, this could have probably been avoided. I like how easy to set up and be all clean and ready to go Apple stuff is. The micro led display on the macbook is still very nice. Vision is pretty crazy, I’m assuming I sold it short. I didn’t read any reviews tbh. I didn’t realize you could multi task apps while watching 3D movies. Like I had my entire apt wall the movie Wish playing in 3D and then below it I had Arlo from Apple Arcade which I was playing with the pinch gesture and also on the side I had the app store up. I thought it was more limited at launch for multi tasking. It’s cool. The display is beautiful - it’s a trip.

Actually I upgraded the macbook pro to the 1tb model because I didn’t realize that it had 33% more gpu cores and an extra cpu core. Not that it matters for what I plan to use it for but it made sense then along with 2x storage for $400 more.

It’s freakin ridiculous that for $3500 you don’t get 1tb on the vision though. You only get 256gb for that price. I did 512gb which at least still keeps the price shy of 4k. Also did 512gb on the Macbook instead of 1tb, and that should come with 1tb for the price too. But the laptop it’s replacing is currently 128gb so that is fine but still.

yeah it’s pretty damn scary at parts especially if you have headphones and are playing at night

id rather u don’t and we still hear from u ngl

For sure! I’m excited for the macbook pro too, it’s going to replace my surface pro for recording. Right now I do raw tracks in windows on reaper then move to garage band on my phone so this will save time and should be nicer. Plus that was about 6 years old and takes forever to render. Also this should still be a pretty display since it’s micro led hdr with local dimming.

i got so excited at the idea of one of you becoming rich I bought myself a 14” macbook pro w/ m3 pro chip and the vision pro

lol I didn’t realize the one time payout calculation doesn’t include the income tax that is a pretty lame though obv it would be hard to complain at “only” 600mil or so

you’ll want other rich friends hit me up ok

Maybe I’ll buy a ticket so I can become a political power player

Opinion: Kuma vs Panda then cap to 30fps so you can see the animations in slow motion

Or leave it installed and play PGA Tour until they fix the checkerboarding then come back for another push!

Awesome, I can do okay at parrying as long as the window isn’t ridiculously short. Yeah I just love me some Ninja action so looking forward to this one. Did you play Wanted:Dead? Seems like something you’d like too, I loved it.

I do plan to play this wether it be on ps5 pro or pc so I don’t want to l spoil too much - but it sounds like this is a bit more accessible difficulty wise than something like Nioh - is that right? I really liked Strangers of Paradise which was Team Ninja but it had difficulty options.

Dig that Shinobi costume! I might make this a ps5 pro launch game assuming there is a patch.

I can’t remember anymore if he actually was kind of a douche or if it was just that DmC had fans going rabid to the point of sending death threats and stirring up a big controversy that he made the Dante of DmC in his own image.
