Quoting: Corben

Quoting: fabertaweThanks. But that begs the question - when can't you play seated? Do you have an example?

I guess "can't play seated" refers to if it's enjoyable.....All in all, technically you can play all those VR games seated, but those meant for room scale would just be less enjoyable as some aspects of the game would require more movemnt.

Thanks for the detailed explanation

Quoting: fabertaweI've zero experience with VR, so can it be used sitting? As in, I have a physical disability and couldn't stand for long and would almost certainly lose my balance and crash into something!

Most of the time, you can play sitted.

This is going on my Steam wish list. Not my old wish list which had no chance of ever being completed but my new cut down must-have wish list. I'm so far behind on what I already have to play!

I'm going to start getting more stuff on Gog as well, so maybe this.

I've always had the greatest respect for the Wine project. An exceptionally useful project for those of us on Linux, which has been highlighted further with Proton.

I'm fine with subscription services where applicable and what's appropriate depends on personal choice. Personally, music is very important and I own everything on CD, I don't do streaming. I want to own my music because it's something I can and will replay indefinitely.

Games I won't generally tend to replay and anything important I can buy from GOG.

The only TV and film I want to own would be music or comedy. The only streaming subscription I currently have is Prime (the Wife likes the delivery aspect) but we're ditching that when they introduce ads into everything next month... and then want to charge more to remove them! They really are taking people for fools Enough's enough.

Steam's telling me I played Pripyat and Clear Sky over twelve years ago... I thought it was longer! I played through Steam on Wine at that time. Really enjoyed those games. I won't be buying at full price to play through Proton though.

That guy's doing well to play the guitar with gloves on in the first video

Not building... nooooo! I spend most of my time in Valheim just building castles! This will be top of my shopping list. This dev is amazing, how he does it all is incredible.

I tried Pipewire a good few months back, out of curiosity and I couldn't use it with my DAW (Mixbus), using JACK. 100% CPU usage, xruns agogo.

I tried it again a couple of weeks back and it's working flawlessly with my USB UMC204HD, so I'm all in now. The JACK interface is solid and I set up an equaliser sink for my headphones easily enough. Easyeffects is also pretty straightforward, although I'm not utilising it right now.

p.s. never used PA, just ALSA and JACK and have not had any problems with audio but Pipewire's the future and, to be fair, it's pretty much plug and play.

Quoting: kuhpunktVery very nice documentary.

I thought I'd take a quick look and skim through but watched it all, very interesting!
