I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles.. but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don't really need to wait on.. I guess generally I'm patient when I feel the product doesn't match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it's either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.

What do you mean plastic mesh heated to near boiling temperatures causes a release of microscopic plastic particles? That just doesn't make any sense at all!

It reminds me of the ultimate game of monopoly I played as a kid (on a handheld). I had complete control over the board. I had bankrupted two of the AI's, but in order to keep line go up, I'd have to keep the last one around. Every time it'd get low on funds I'd offer to significantly overpay for one of its' few properties, and then sell it back for a dollar.

I got to around 30k before the game either just quit, or the battery died.

Oh man, those researchers sure will be upset when they find out how much time I 'waste' a week arriving to work early and then just languishing while waiting for work to start. It's around 250 hours a year. (and even better, I'm there an hour early specifically to avoid traffic)

How loose we talking? Untied shoe loose? Pants a few sizes too big loose? A triple xl on a 20kg kid loose?

depends heavily on the recipe. Due to my "enthusiasm" for pasta in general I prefer to make a much smaller portion, which is very easy to do with a lasagna in a mug, the only real downside is that the noodles need to be pliable first.

I mostly read news articles in varying fields. Quantum physics is really doing some things that I can barely grasp anymore.

As much as I love lasagna, the noodles are the worst part of preparing the dish. They're awkwardly large and heavy (for a noodle), and God help you if you overcook them even a bit as they will disintegrate under their own weight.

Roads around me being salted, forecast looming and dooming about some flakes, here I sit knowing that it's not going to be at all serious enough for anything in my life to be changed. I'm not preparing for anything, I'm not changing anything. Might get a couple inches at best that will melt off within hours.

I returned mine, borrowed a friend's Iphone for the scan, but I should have definitely gotten an official ipd reading. The set they sent me was really nice, but the ipd was wrong and I'm already kind of susceptible to motion sickness regularly.

I got a discounted pimax for Christmas instead. It's huge, but has a lot of features I was giving up for the smallness of the bigscreen.

I figured I'd fill in some gaps I left out before about my specific case and why I decided to return the set rather than deal with their support team.

  1. I get motion sickness rather easily. It's not instant while in VR, but the smallest things (like a smudge on a lens) can cause it to slowly build up until I'm unable to deal with it. That being said, something I wasn't prepared for was that having a just the custom printed faceplate on my noggin would slowly build up that motion sickness, it's something about having my vision obscured between my eyes that really set it off.

  2. The only way I could use the supplied headset somewhat was by placing the faceplate lower than it's supposed to go, which after a bit caused a very unpleasant amount of brow pain. Aside from the ipd being incorrect for me, I feel that the orientation of the print for my faceplate wasn't set up to direct my eyes to the center of the screens. Support is more than happy to help with this with no charge.

  3. I realized after purchasing it that I'm not the kind of VR player to actually need a slimmed down headset. I'm usually seated, not moving much at all besides my arms, so it's not like it's a big deal to just buy a 'one size fits all' headset that fits my playstyle a bit better.

As much as I'd have liked it to be some kind of active or skill based game, it was either going to be webfishing or revolution idle.

I recently picked up secrets of grindea, but after having binged it for a few days, I'm grinded out. I need to earn so much gold if I want to collect all the things and it feels like my combat power has hit a wall. There are a few non-grind things I could tackle, but I'll just wait a bit and let burnout go away.

Geocities was over the hump at that point, but i guess that makes it even more true.
