Yes, if you can untangle the aux cord currently strangling you, you can turn its power against him

I feel like I've read stories of people freaking out falling asleep in their headsets and waking up not knowing what was going on for a little bit

A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is sleeping 6ft underground with the rest of the garbage

This is the shittiest haiku I ever read. Take this one to the thermal paste factory

Hey that's great. Don't care though. What are the efficiency improvements like? Or are there none?

I mean, I played most of my library in that space. I 'S' ranked plenty of Beat Saber maps on Hard. Played Space Pirate Trainer a few times. The Lab. Phasmophobia. Etc. You can genuinely easily play most VR games seated if you really wanted to, even if it's not as nice as having standing room

Eh, I literally played Alyx on a gaming laptop with a 1060 in front of my dining room table in no more than a 3x3 cube with a $300 headset. That is not a very high barrier to entry for existing pc gamers at least. A Steam Deck exclusive may fare a little better since it's a self contained console, but I doubt it would do that much better if VR was enough to discourage people tbh

Very doubtful tbh. You can look at HL: Alyx as an example. It sold well I'm sure, but not Nintendo level. As much as people like to belly ache about VR being too hard to get into, it's truly no more expensive than a Steam Deck if you actually bother to take more than 2 seconds to legitimately look into it.

I played Alyx on a mobile 1060 and a $300 headset and while it wasn't top of the line, it was still perfectly playable. I imagine most gamers these days have at least that, but Alyx absolutely did not sell like hot cakes. And I doubt the Steam Deck would either, even for HL3.

I mean they just announced the Xbox Ally today at a presentation, so it certainly doesn't seem like it

[–] Thatuserguy@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago

Yeah sounds like they're just being greedy now tbh

Honestly shocked? Everyone I know has seen it and has a good opinion of it. Just assumed it was doing well I guess

I used it. And I used Edge. This is the most braindead change they could have made. Edge automatically synced passwords to Authenticator across mobile and PC. Losing the ability to autofill passwords outside of Edge makes it significantly less useful.

If anything, as someone who was in their garden, this change is unironically making me want to go find another garden to play in instead of stick closer to theirs. Why is Microsoft so hellebent on making people hate it's software recently?
