There were so many levels of mechanica 8n that game that I probably didn’t even know about. For example, I never did any contracts. The online component in general fit so well in the game though. Seeing useful items or structures left behind by other players was so cool.

Can you confirm which game mechanic gives you more player stuff? I don’t remember since it’s been a year since I last played. I think this game is old enough for spoilers, ha. So it’s okay.

I played it like a year ago and there were still a ton of active users showing up my list. I think it could surprise you.

Well most modern gamers are probably like 14 years old and probably never even played Skyrim. So I’m not surprised young kids are buying this creation kit garbage with Mommy’s credit card.

Most games never hit anywhere near that, but some large open world rpgs like Skyrim track the location of every single object in the game world. Like you can drop a piece of cheese on the bottom left corner of the map, come back 500 hours later, and it’ll still be there. now imagine all of the objects you’re buying and selling and manipulating over those hundreds of hours. Now add in a shit ton of script mods and other stuff that may add even more objects. And add in all of the quest data and interaction data that gets saved etc etc, and your save file can easily hit multiple gigabytes, with each file approaching 200mb.

A heavily modded Skyrim/FO4 save with hundreds of hours on it can easily go above 200mb.

I really don’t believe they are actively developing another headset. I think thelat at one point they may have filed a patent for a design, but I really wouldn’t bank on this. Still more likely than Half Life 3 though.

Fyi on PCVR, this headset will NOT have HDR, Eye tracking, and other features. Kind of an important call out…

It’s outspeced by any headset made in the past few years…i.e. missing oled screen. No pancake lenses.

edit: spelling

Huh? As much as i don’t like standalone headsets, all of the current standalone headsets easily vastly outspec the index…you should look at the specs…

I.e. index is missing:

• oled screen

• pancake lenses

• eye tracking

Most of the newer headsets have this and are cheaper than the index…

The fact that the grossly outdated (spec wise) valve index is still $1k, 4 years after release, is fucking outrageous. That thing should be like at least half the price by now. Valve is out of their minds…

Google how to do it. You’re supposed to cut the clove in half as well with the cut side face up? Something like that. I did it a few times a while ago and it was incredible.

Fun fact. You can bake a clove of garlic in the oven with oil. Salt, and pepper, and then eat it with a spoon after. It turns into more of a mush with a way more mellow flavor. You can also scoop it out and spread it on toast or bread. You’re welcome.

Yea. Separate but related issues I suppose. I just feel like even when we pay tons of money for expensive products, we will get ads. Even modern cars are collecting an obscene amount of data even though we pay a shit ton of money for them. It’s completely out of control.

Man…you said the issue with all of this is people not willing to pay to remove ads. I’m saying that even when you buy expensive products, you still have ads. So ads are everywhere, regardless of whether you pay or use free products. The entire business model is fucked. That’s what I’m saying. I’m not sure what it causing the confusion here.

I’m not responding to OP. I’m responding to you.

Same. I play games to enter a relaxation state after a long day at work. Playing a 45 minute cutthroat CS2 match with my friends where I have to be at attention constantly, while they’re all screaming at each other for being bad, isn’t exactly my idea of relaxation…

Bro $4,000 OLED TVs are riddled with rows of home screen ads. What are you talking about that paid content has no ads? ALL CONTENT HAS FUCKING ADS. This has gotten absurd. Fuck ads.

Yea i agree. It’s also a failure of our useless government to put regulations in place. I’m not sure what to do either. I’m very concerned for half the labor force being laid off overnight in favor of AI as well. Especially white collar jobs.
