Quoting: GuestAnyway, it’s weird video that I feel is designed to garner hype and sympathy from fanboys (see YouTube comments) in a day where right to repair is in such a precarious position any minuscule effort gets praised to heaven

Yep...

Hopefully it's as repairable in real life as they claim. That would be really nice. Not much is made like that anymore. It's fun to tinker with stuff like that.

Who knows maybe it'll condense into something later 😉

I must be gaming wrong, lol

It's fair. There's always a cut off for new technology.

I'll have to save for a while. Last time I looked, I could sell my used 1070Ti at a profit compared to what I spent to buy it, lol

Good on Valve to cancel. It's entertainment; no need to risk someone's health over tournament profits.

For some reason, all I can think of when I see multiplayer for this is ....

Road rage.

Quoting: Beamboom.. And what's not to like about THAT! :)
afaiu this technology should have the potential of seriously extend the life span of a graphics card. I so totally love this

Provided you have a newer card to begin with. Per the article it's only for 20xx and 30xx series cards.

I must jokingly admit, I'm a little jealous I didn't wait a year and got a 1070Ti instead, lol

Quoting: denyasisBack to VR... I dunno about "gimmick", but the headset is definitely in the "dude toy" realm. I can't imagine using this when my kids were babies (monitoring naps), my current aged kids (playtime), other people in the living room (some one gonna get hit), or really anywhere where some awareness is needed. Perhaps I'm the only one with these circumstances.

Quoting: haikuMy wife would kill me if i isolate with a VR headset :unsure:

I don't know about your lives' circumstances(*) of course, but independent of VR, everybody should have at least a little time where he doesn't need to pay attention and can close the door behind them, I think. (I'm just arranging this for me and my wife, "just" four years after the children arrived. ;) )

(*) I had a great typo here: "livers' circumstances" :D

I agree one should, but realize that should is not will, even in more prosperous places.

Also, my liver is totally fine, what you getting at?!? 😝 Lol

Quoting: DerpFoxThe other mistake was in a way HL:Alyx, the logic behind it is clear, get a flagship game to make people go VR. But with the price of VR in general putting countless people out, and the HL franchise has been gone for so long?

That's a really interesting point there. To be honest I thought of it differently. I figure they used HL to bank on the nostalgia factor. Given the price, I figure they are almost targeting young professionals that have the disposable income, time, space and, importantly, grew up playing HL as teenagers or young adults. I can't imagine the target is a younger audience...

I mean, imagine your kid coming up to you and asking "Mom, can I have 1000 USD to buy this game and headset that looks cool?"

Quoting: BTREThat said, play CK2 if you have it—it's also a fine game. It is definitely more difficult to get into, however

Thanks, I read some of the reviews when the game came out. I will have to re read them. I did find CK2 very difficult to understand, but I partly blamed that on my education. I know nothing of medieval Europe, so even the basic vocabulary was foreign. I'll likely have to suck it up if I want to play it (or CK3 I assume). I've put it on my list to play next after I finish the Witcher series. I actually think that caused my interest in the CK series.

Thank you for the advice!
