    Review the game you finished recently.

    Half Life Alyx After a couple of defective Reverb G2 headsets I finally got one that works (crosses fingers) and ventured into the oasis of VR. Initially I was very hesitant to get into VR, with my only previous experience being when I played Dactyl nightmare, at the mall, in the early 90s as...

    Reverb G2 Warning

    Well it looks like the third times the charm ... /crosses fingers. The third headset arrived late yesterday and it has had zero problems so far. No going black, no one eye cutting out, no 4-1 or 7-14 errors. I was able to complete Alyx and move on to Medal of Honour without any crashes what so...

    I'm not even mad ... that's amazing

    Nope, there was no foam inside the video card box. The video card was inside an anti-static sleeve, which was inside a thin bubble wrap sleeve. The card was free to bounce around inside the video card box and the video card box was free to bounce around inside the shipping box.

    I'm not even mad ... that's amazing

    Well it works ... so I guess that is all that matters, but I did want to share pictures of the EVGA packing job for the replacement for my RMA'd 2080 ti. Inside the box the video card was in an anti-static sleeve inside a thin bubble wrap sleeve. There is no visible damage aside from some...

    Reverb G2 Warning

    I just wanted to add a further warning, as my experience with HP support has been absolutely terrible. My first phone call and request to return the product happened on Jan 21st. Since then I have made 9 calls, spanning a call time of 2 hours and 37 minutes, and have made 4 separate requests...

    Reverb G2 Warning

    The person I spoke to about the return said it would take 4-6 weeks for a replacement vs the 10 or so days to get a full refund so I opted for that. I do find the timeline she quoted as curious ... I puchased the headset direct from HP Canada on the 14th and it arrived on the 18th ... but a...

    Reverb G2 Warning

    The Reverb G2 sure was amazing ... for 5 days. Unfortunately mine is now dead. I contacted HP and spoke with a tech guy, who told me that the breakout / box cord is failing for a lot of people and because it (the cord) is so far backordered he suggested I just return my G2 as it would probably...

    HP Reverb G2

    It cost me a set of AirPods pro but I slipped a VR system by the wife. The HP Reverb G2 just arrived today. I was surprised how quickly it got here. I ordered directly from HP Canada and it was delivered 2 days later. My previous VR experience was limited to the VR I tried at the mall back in...

    I really should have paid closer attention to the dimensions of this before I printed it (14.41" x 20.67" x 17.24")... but it turned out amazing. It took weeks to print all the parts for the hydralisk but it is finally complete. There are some issues on part fitment in the tail, which I will...

    CD PROJEKT RED Mandates Six-Day Work Weeks Ahead of Cyberpunk 2077’s Launch

    A Stanford study, published last year found that working more than 50 hours per week results in a sharp decline in productivity. The same studies suggest that, for most people, working more than 55 hours a week drops productivity so much that it is nearly pointless. The study also found that...

    Star Wars: Squadrons

    My Thrustmaster HOTAS X is working great for this game. I have been able to map everything I have required so far to buttons, hat switch (POV) for power management, 5th axis for left/right auxiliary, on the HOTAS.

    Leaked Galax slide confirms NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB, RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3060 and RTX 3070 inferiority to the RTX 2080 Ti

    Tbh I was surprised by the amount of hype for the 30 series cards on this forum. So many posters were drinking the Kool-Aid marketing hype. I find this curious as I constantly see posts where members are very adamant about not pre-ordering games and waiting for reviews.

    PRUSA i3 MK3S newb

    I am really impressed with the print quality of this machine. I really didn’t have to do much calibration in order to produce prints which surpassed what I was doing with the Stratasys UPrint SE a few years ago. The crazy thing is UPrint SE + wash station was ~30k CAD when my work purchased one.

    Blizzard Workers Share Salaries in Revolt Over Wage Disparities

    Its just amazing to me that people cannot only see that the supremely wealthy have privatized the profits and socialized the loses, but they actually support it ... to their own determent. And yet people still claim they live within a capitalist system.

    Blizzard Workers Share Salaries in Revolt Over Wage Disparities

    The biggest tragedy of the current economic system is that corporations have convinced the general public to support unethical behavior like paying employees peanuts while they rake in billions and then they turn around and don't pay taxes on those billions.

    Activision Blizzard Inc recorded a profit of $4.395B in 2018. The fact that employees are going hungry, and choosing not to have kids is disgusting ... and really should be criminal. Just to add to this Activision Blizzard inc is an incredible tax dodger. Activision Blizzard paid out...

    Fox Sports will use virtual fans created in Unreal Engine to fill empty stadiums in MLB broadcasts

    The NBA is likely the only league that will be able to run this year. The webcam fan thing, that the NBA has, is kinda interesting. They also have crowd noise that reflects both what is happening in the game and which team is the designated “home” team. I watched the Raptors vs Lakers last night...
