I really did but the framerate in almost every game that used it dropping by half killed me.

WHAT YOU SAY?!

Just like Evil Dead, it’s those damn Devil made phonographs causing all this ruckus!

Vampire Survivors, the breakout hit game on so many platforms now, has a full DLC based on Contra. It’s still very much on the minds of everyone who loves this stuff.

Aww shit.

My Prius has this. It literally just runs a small fan in the summer to keep the interior/batteries cool.

I’ve been 100% Linux for almost 8 years now and a fairly heavy gamer. There’s a handful of games with online anticheat stuff that devs refuse to make compatible, but beyond that it’s almost always click install and play in Steam even for stuff that isn’t “compatible”.

Last time I tried to engrave my seed on metal I got kicked out of the park.

I feel attacked.

You’re describing a Steam Machine, and I guess they were just years ahead of their time. 🤷‍♂️

You should see the rest of the overpriced toys these guys have marketed as genius over the years.

Anecdotal like the rest of the posts here, but I recently built a new rig for gaming/lab testing and used a Gigabyte board for the first time in a decade after seeing good reviews and a solid sale price.

About 3 weeks after setting everything up it just crapped out. Would reboot seconds after you pressed power. Checked and verified absolutely every other part, no luck. Tried to contact support, got the runaround for a few days until I was directed to a site to submit an RMA request.

That was a month ago, zero movement still. About 4 days into it I bought an identical part of Amazon and “traded” em. I’m usually pretty ethical about that kind of thing but this was ridiculous and I needed the PC working ASAP.

Who’s decent anymore? I always used to go with MSI.

Agreed. It sounds like most of your issues were just that you weren’t the primary user account. If you had done all this under hers it should have been pretty easy. I got mine second hand from my sister after the caught it on fire and I managed to repair it, had the same issues until I factory reset and set up an account for myself.

Not defending Meta at all, but I think I just had to check a box on their developer portal signed in to my account?

Anyway, I’m right there with you on picking up whatever valve has cooked up as soon as they announce something!

Woah, not sure what you ran into, but my install process was to check the box that I was a developer and side load the adb package. I’ve been streaming a dozen games from my EndeavourOS PC for a few weeks now with no issues.

Anecdotal of course, clearly your milage has varied.

ALVR works pretty well. Not zero setup but it’s there. 🤷‍♂️

What’s he like? It’s not important GET BACK TO WORK PLEB

Upon being handed a busted Quest 2 that indeed caught fire, I’ve found a lot of folks online that have had that very issue lol.

Unrelated, I fixed it and noe need VR game suggestions as this realm is the shit.

Sony

It’s still a bullshit move, and I’m gonna get some hate here, but you’re not wrong. I don’t think most of the folks commenting played the first game. Fast travel is kinda defeating the purpose of a lot of the design too.

Again, still a silly move for them and ZERO excuse for the character edit vouchers.
