It's 100 percent worth the experience. I really hope that this device helps VR really start to take off. There's massive potential but adoption is horrible because like you said it's so effing expensive. Also as a note: if you're prone to motion sickness your first month is going to be absolute hell. I have the middle ear of a geriatric and just could not get adapted. Games like Beat Saber are amazing but anything that required movement messed me up, usually under 10 minutes.

Game is worth every penny. Definitely pick it up if you haven't. Actually plays decently well solo but it's more fun with friends

Absolutely recommend this game. It's technically a twist on the crafting genre? Honestly stands out on its own and I would pay full price for it again if the chance arose. Great story, great mechanics, and literally fully customizable difficulty. Like if for some reason you find the game too difficult you can make adjustments to pretty much anything in the game. From my perspective though playing through on the difficulty they recommend it was challenging yet rewarding. On top of that the DLC they recently released is like its own entire branch off that gives you a whole separate class of car mechanics and game mechanics, seriously wild. Go into it blind if you can but at least watch the trailer on Steam first. It's like a driving sim + crafting cranked to 10. Idk how else to describe it.

$99 isn't bad at all when you compare what you can do with it to any 'pro gamer' controller out there. It has massive programmable potential comparatively to a normal Xbox controller. Pro controllers usually run $150 and up. Yes this is pricier than a shit ass China controller but you're also getting a massive amount of flexibility with it.

You make a valid point on filling the space, my example being the types of games that are mainstream. Haven't played an FPS in probably 5 or more years for similar reasons to what you stated, and feel like that's all that's churned out now. Just copy pasted ultra competitive stale shit with no real creativity. I tend to stick to indie for this reason now and will play co-op with friends, but even there there's holes of competitive garbage to fall into. Anyway, appreciate the insight.

I started this game recently and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. Like...I can't tell if being overwhelmed is the point but Jesus it's a fucking lot right out the gate. I feel like they did a great job introducing the systems but then they just drop you on your ass? Like I have a robot limit. Okay, how do I increase that limit? 'You can play the game how you want! You don't have to be combat centric' Game then proceeds to IMMEDIATELY attack one of my buildings. 'Objective: capture a cargo drone' doesn't tell you what the fuck you can do with it. I'm venting for the most part and fully intend to keep at it but God damn I'm floundering.

Honestly plucking it might be a little painful, but I'd imagine immensely more safe than having a pair of blades close to your eye to try and trim it...

Wait...this movie? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt18382850/ Or is there some other movie of a similar title? I always assumed the title was imagery of some sort meaning they are stuck in their current situation or feel helpless or defenseless?

This is what got me. I started a really well paying job so me and the wife decided to splurge on some better, name brand appliances. I've replaced every single one in less than 5 years. Fuck GE, fuck LG, and definitely fuck Samsung.

This is my stance as well. There's data out the ass about how detrimental screen time and social media is for minors. Besides the obvious blame here being on the parents, it's easy to just have something for verification without holding personal data.

Try Escape from Duckov! Silly characters but the gameplay really is solid.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'll second Duckov! I had quite a bit of fun with it and progression is pretty solid.
