Joined. I’m down whenever assuming I can get back home in the winter weather lol

I use a sena 20s. I’m not sure what the need for a discrete brick is, but if it’s to prevent/deter theft the senas allow you to pop the main unit off with the press of a button, so when I go into stores I just do that and slip it into my pocket while leaving my helmet locked to my bike.

That’s an awesome design!

Went modular recently (scorpion exo 960) and can never go back. Ignore the uh… tomato’s growing in the background, I’m in a state it’s legal to grow in and this was the only pic of my helmet I had lol

Unfortunately, pouring sugar into a gas tank will do just about zero damage to an engine. It might clog up the fuel filter, or maybe the pump, but the engine would be fine. Bleach on the other hand….

Well I’m not them, but for me: KSP1: 1800.8 hours. Current cost $40 = $0.02 an hour DCS: 1294.7 hours. Money spent eh $300 = $0.23 an hour Witcher 3: 1131.5 hours. Current cost: $40 = $0.03 an hour. Civ vi: 589.9 hours. Current cost: $60 = $0.10 an hour Stardew valley: 579.3 hours. current cost $15 = $0.026 an hour Fall out new Vegas: 543.6 hours. Current cost: $10 = $0.0018 an hour

Now if we add in the $2000 worth of peripherals I have to play dcs it’s cost balloons quite a bit but, it’s not terribly difficult to get high playtimes in cheap games. I would also say the cost per hour for me is double or triple what it actually is, as these are the current prices, and besides dcs I buy everything only on sale lol.

Yup. I used Libra in college but getting the formatting right took longer than writing my papers. If I had to pay for a subscription to office I wouldn’t, and I don’t, I just prefARR’ my office apps.

I do sim racing and flight simming, while not VR exclusive games, once you try it in VR you can’t go back. Besides that, walkabout mini golf is probably one of my favorites, blade and sorcery, hotdogs horseshoes hand grenades (though, not much of a story to that one), vertigo 2, Boneworks, there’s plenty of great games for VR, and that’s ignoring some of the stuff like using it for workouts when it’s freezing outside and getting cardio in with beat saber

The team grew exponentially from the release of KCDI to KCDII, so I hope it’s not hopium that it will remain tried and true, actually making the games for gamers rather than profit.

As someone who does VR in flight sims on one of the least optimized games (DCS) I can see the allure. Aside from that one niche though, I can’t think of many uses for a 90 series card though

Stalker 2 was a straight fucking banger. Sunk 70 hours into it with my first play through and I’m already craving another run. I swear I’m probably the only person who’s played through the campaign with only like 3 bugs in 70 hours

If only flight sims and peripherals worked on Linux It’s been the one think keeping me back.

Yep!

If you can get them into a digital format I’ve personally used eleven labs to clone voices and make narrations for missions I created for a video game. I tried using different open source projects and getting it to run on my own with no avail, but 11 labs has been solid (it is unfortunately paid software of like $5/10 bucks a month though)

Ah man that’s a shame. I appreciate the heads up! I guess for now I’ll have to stick with windows unfortunately

One thing I’d like to ask, as someone also starting to get fed up with windows. I know there’s proton and all but how does Linux work with VR? I have an index and nvidia card, and most of my VR is playing digital combat sim (DCS) but I do enjoy playing actual VR games from time to time. Is Linux still decent with those? Or do I have to stick with windows?
