Idk if I talked about this but JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders is (largely) a bad part that is inconsistent and BORING and I think its a bad part that if you just took out the majority of the middle, it'd be better

Its weird to me that something like Sonic.exe has survived the test of time. Like wdym evil Satanic the Hedgehog is this where horror peaked ?? can you tell im an avid hater of horror (because horror is really boring))

we don’t use generative AI, have hand drawn 2D animated sprites, AND our game is coded by a bearded canadian guy with glasses so you be the judge of that

i dont want to equate ai with crypto. stuff like nfts and the blockchain were actually far less destructive than ai simply because of how useless they were, despite how far they were pushed but you cannot deny that both technologies attract the same kind of braindead morons

I got a Quest Pro open box on Ebay, after the Steam Frame was fully revealed and I was disappointed by the price. This thread is a kinda review of the headset with comparisons to the Oculus Quest and Meta Quest 3, both headsets i've used extensively, with some time in the Oculus Quest 2.

All in all, I think I'm very happy with this purchase over the Steam Frame when both would ultimately serve the same purpose for me. The Pro also has passthrough which is VERY helpful. Why didn't valve even try.

@genericnpc.com

oh, pass through, uhm. The Quest 1 and 2 suck. 3 is pretty good. The Pro is. Workable. It has color, but the way the color works is that it seems like it projects colors onto the screen based on color cameras but the actual feed comes from IR cameras, like its so weird. I couldnt show you. i think

be easier to put on and off or have above your head from moment to moment so the bottom is much more open. It isn't much of an immersion killer especially once you start focusing on the game itself, similar to the rest of the Quest series.

Since I do streaming, I use the eye / face tracking for foveated streaming to improve performance and it does wonders. Nice feature.

they have their own cameras. They can take a second to turn on but it works excellently, the best VR controllers with rechargable batteries. Thank fucking god. Finally. Holy shit, jesus christ. They did it. Best controllers I've used for the tracking and battery.

The screen is pretty comparable to the Quest 3, I wouldn't be able to tell all that much of a difference. With the same the lens, its not missing out on much. The big thing is light getting in. With the main Quest line, its just the nose where light comes in. The Pro is designed instead to-

The speakers are REALLY good. Like the best I've ever heard in general. Shockingly clear, somewhat similar to how the Quest 3 is pretty great. The Quest 1 speakers worked.

The Headstrap is fairly well designed and similarly very comfortable and the pressure is very evenly spread in the best way it could be. Its the most comfortable headset I've ever worn. The Controllers though, share more with the Quest 3 in shape and comfort and are heavy, but they do track since-

The Quest Pro has a facial interface that is EXTREMELY comfy and is very easy to put on, even with glasses. I love the amount of adjustment available with MOST of it, but its the best among all the headsets I've used.

@genericnpc.com

I haven't used it much... it DOES have fans but in my use (exclusively streaming) it never kicked up and the headset never felt overly warm to the touch and the temperature doesn't effect me while I wear it which is such a relief having used the Quest 3 so much.

The Quest 1 doesn't have either issues. Its actually so low power that it charges just from being plugged into the PC, so heat isn't an issue. Its also a lot better comfort-wise. I don't need to buy a new facial interface and head strap.

The Quest 1 controllers are also more comfy to me than the Quest 3, and easier to put down with the rings. The Quest 3 does fit a little better in the hands. The Quest 2 is kind of closer to the 3 in comfort generally speaking.

Also, use Virtual Desktop for wireless VR. The price is well worth it. ALVR is alright but it has worse performance and connection issues. Good for wired, though.

@genericnpc.com

Its important to note I definitely don't use the Quest series of headsets to run any of my games on the headset itself. I think a lot of people would agree the Quest 3 gets too hot when running, the fans pick up and the headset is warm to wear. Its also VERY uncomfy.

I actually primarily stream from my PC to the headset to play VR, both wired and wirelessly, though I prioritize wireless. The Steam Frame offered a dongle that highly intrigued me as it offers likely the best wireless communications for VR. A lot of people complain about-

wireless VR on their WIFI being slow. Heres a cool tip. If you have two WIFI adapters in your PC or are connected via ethernet and have Wifi you aren't using. Make a mobile hotspot on your system. It creates a direct connection between your system and the headset and it heavily improved wireless.

First and foremost, I paid just under $600 for the Quest Pro, which while I am aware its more than a 3 which has better specs, you'll see why I made this particular choice as I explain further.

Syx
@genericnpc.com

My main interest in the Steam Frame was how it was sold as the user's computer and you could technically install other OSes on it. Not that you really COULD just yet, but still. I still do have interest in such a device, but the price didn't justify what I actually do with VR headsets...

We had a good thing, you son of a bitch! We had an emulator. We had ISOs. We had PSSPP on PC + Phone and it all ran like clockwork. You could’ve shut your mouth, and gotten as much social clout as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up. You and your Claude and your Slop!

with the whole Shayy thing going on its important to recognise that there are real victims with real consequences of Shayy's actions. Don't make this a big thing as a drama, but as something informative. Don't interact with them, don't boost their name or numbers any more than you ABSOLUTELY must.
