They need that next hit of outrage and self-righteousness.

They changed their name so they could apply for AMD's partner program.

If you're going there, there's also VR porn. If you see someone on Steam playing DeoVR, they're watching SLR.

...I mean, so I hear

Index is great, I don't regret buying it at all.

Half Life: Alyx made me 'get' VR. I look forward to future AAA releases.

I haven't tried Skyrim VR. I did not know that was even a thing until now, thanks!

Here's some recommendations in exchange:

VTOL VR is DCS where you don't need a 50 hour tutorial to start the jet or $1200 in control hardware and head tracking (just a $1000 VR headset!).

Iron Rebellion is still early access/in development, but VR is begging for a good mech shooter and they've been making steady improvements.

XSOverlay is great, basically lets you access windows from in-game (I pin my Signal client, for example) just by rotating your wrist like you're looking at a wrist watch. It's a good way to get access to media controls/see who's at the door without going through the process of getting out of the VR setup.

My wallet fears the answer to this question.

It's DNS. (It's always DNS)

With VPN on, from the ~~command prompt~~ terminal try

dig google.com

Then toggle it off and try again.

If you don't have the dig command, with your VPN on, in Librewolf try to go to: 142.251.35.238 (Google.com), you'll get a warning because it's trying to use HTTP instead of HTTPS, this is fine.

If you can reach it by IP then the problem is DNS.

I used magnets to hold the finished part down as to not move.

Were you able to remove it from the bed and re-align it? That's some clean alignment.

On one hand, I can enjoy the schadenfreude.

On the other hand, this kind of thing helps to create and maintain the alt-right alternate universe mediasphere. I remember a story coming out of Ukraine where a bunch of guys were making fake 'news' sites loaded with advertising to spam ragebait articles for cash. They said that they made way more money by posting right wing content so that's what they focused on.

Multiply that by a bunch of people and add in adversarial nation's influence campaigns and you get Donald Trump.

I guess it’s not technically a standard but Steam VR runs on every client OS and streams to any VR headset money can buy over USB or network.

And, to add to this, Valve is about to launch their next gen VR headset.

VR's major barrier is that to do good, AAA game level, VR you need a pretty beefy PC on top of an expensive headset AND a large enough room to take advantage of the roomscale stuff. That isn't to say that there isn't fun games that have low requirements, like Beat Saber and Superhot but for games like Half Life: Alyx you're looking at several thousand USD in hardware.

I think VR will eventually get there, it offers experiences that you can't get from a monitor, but right now it's a niche hobby with a pretty limited library of good titles.

Earn $10B doing illegal stuff, settle with the FTC for a $10 million dollar fine and don't have to admit wrongdoing and/or a deferred prosecution agreement with no teeth or oversight.

If you're trying to play Death Stranding 2 and are getting this error. This is due to something with the DX12 -> Vulkan DirectX Raytracing translation (DXR) layer.

In order to have the game launch, disable it by adding to your launch options:

VKD3D_CONFIG=nodxr

This will disable raytracing and revert to rasterization. Wayland/HDR work fine.
