    The Division 2

    Fresh start - previously, I played it on my XboneX. Since I have this rig though, I'd like to try it again with a little bit better frames and graphics.

    The Division 2

    I have a PCI NVME Extender and a drive coming so I can load this back on - love me some Division 2, MSFS has sucked up the better portion of a terabyte.

    WTF MS?

    I have used my Q2 for a bunch of games, it is intriguing, but my main jam is Microsoft Flight Simulator. There is NO better way to simulate flight than in VR. MS has said they are supporting VR in the upcoming MSFS2024, I may upgrade to a Q3, but I may need to invest in a better rig.

    Your most played games?

    I've played 1607 hours of Microsoft Flight Simulator, according to the XBox App (for PC) - that suprised me, but not really.

    So what happened to VR games?

    MSFS in Quest 2 after all the misfires and patching up until recently has been a crapfest, no longer. I started Halflife:Alyx and am pretty impressed with it. But MSFS is it for me (to a lesser extent DCS) and I actually subbed to SuperNaturalVR (workout program) because it's a kick in the ass...

    As I was braking coming up to a corner, I didn't see the grey plastic-handled screwdriver in the road. My front tire found it, locked and I went down - luckily I was slowed to around 15mph. Still have a scar on my ankle, but no busted bones. Fun fact: Picking up an 05 Roadking is not for the feint of heart. I ended up trading it in for my wife's 2012 Avolon. I miss that bike... but back then I was working in Seattle, and riding it in taught me that other commuters are actively trying to kill you.

    I can see a bit of time being wasted here. But do I mean "being wasted, a bit of the time" or that the time is wasted. Either works.

    Diablo 4 review: The horror’s back, and we couldn’t be happier

    I've played all of them to completion. I preordered so I could just play when it's available - my connection has been crap lately, so 83GB will need a few "overnights" to finish.

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Just bought *another* airplane... Flew from Orcas Island to Boeing Field. Other than that, Fortnite and Brawlstars with the grandkids, and a little TitanFall2 campaign.

    The favorite games you played in 2022

    Microsoft Flight Simulator, they have just upped the game multiple times per year - whether Asobo or third-party creators, the game just keeps improving. It's about the only title for MS that utilyzes (and stresses out) VR - it's the Farcry of the 2020's

    Titanfall 2 Ultimate Edition $2.99 on Steam

    Arguably one of the best single player campaigns ever created (hyperbole, or no?)

    What was your first emotional moment in gaming?

    This game taught me frustration, especially in the twisty little passages - ran on our trusty Data General Eclipse S130 (through a 6053 monitor)

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is now playable in VR

    I have a low-midrange HOTAS Logitech X52Pro, but I use the mouse for switch clicking and dial spinning. The keyboard is used to pop out the menu for maps and radio comms.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is now playable in VR

    Anyone else still playing this - VR is getting much better - if you stick with it and tweak settings. Live weather has come a long way, this is Boeing field set to "Clear skies" This is the "Live weather" rendering - Seattle just became the worst air quality in the world, due to wildfires...

    Quest Pro

    If this turns out to be an "Enterprise" device, I'm glad I retired - imagine you are in your virtual meeting and the company has all your facial, body, and eye tracking digitized and stored to look over at their whim. Some bodies avatar grab your fancy - HR will know. You roll your eyes at a...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    This peripheral has lasted so long. I *just* found out how well the unit is put together while disassembling to clean it (for the first time in WAY over a decade, I bought the set for 150.00 in 2011) This keyboard is a beast. It, along with the mouse are flawless performers and work at a range...

    RagingSamster's Boxen race 2022 - Universe@home

    I have two machines running distributed computing in my basement - stays cool all year. One is a Dell T5500 rocking a dual Xeon, the other is my gaming rig - a Alienware Aurora R12 w/ I7 11700 I thought it was cool that the old machine is keeping up with the new one. I'm doing Primegrid on the...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    I'm downloading it, but honestly I won't have time for a while. Since the PMDG 737-700 was released I'm in full-on learning mode. AMAZING in VR Favorite still is the Cessna 337 Skymaster, then the Waco WMF5 followed by the Mooney

    Gaming in your 40s

    58, and one set of my grandkids (13 and 10) just hooked me solid into Fortnite. Doing dailies and getting crowns, etc. The other set (10 and 7) have me heavy into Minecraft Dungeons. Other than that I'm into MSFS in VR. Then again I'm retired, so I can spend time with family and gaming.

    Starlink Public Beta About to Happen?!?!

    I was supposed to have Starlink by mid to late 2021, now it's mid 2022, My laziness trumps industriousness. Coincidently, my mother-in-law(God rest her soul) used to say "The lazy man works the hardest". Curiously, she was always looking at me when she said it.

    Starlink Public Beta About to Happen?!?!

    I don't have to imagine. You can unplug it then wait 5 hours, which is a viable solution if you're going to bed soon.

    How much do you get out of Videogames today?

    Severely into MSFS VR, but because of that I can play any game out there with excessive settings turned all the way up in pancake mode. Love flying around, but I also just finished Halo:Infinite Although the Boss monologues and some of the cutscenes were over the top. I really enjoyed it. Other...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    In MSFS I am only in pancake mode for screenies or videos, in VR I use FSKneeboard, https://fskneeboard.com/ it is a wondeful little app that provides access to detailed GPS like maps and imports your flight plan into the map. I always have it running - it's maps are far more useful than the...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    The amount of quality aircraft coming to MSFS in the near term is impressive, while some are relatively inexpensive, others can dwarf what you paid for the simulator program itself - The one that I'm interested in is the study level Boeing 737 NextGen that will be on the other side of a...

    Your latest VR purchase?

    Just bought the Carenado WACO WYMF5 - Gorgeous aircraft, in VR or pancake mode. Great controls, fun to handle on the ground. Great in the air.

    Oculus Quest 2

    I played a few quest games, but for the money you can't get a better PCVR headset, I do MSFS and DCS exclusively and the Q2 is an awesome display for those titles.

    Your latest VR purchase?

    Well, Besides a Alienware R12, I bought a Logitech X52Pro, I used my first time DCS discount on an F16, F18 and Persian Golf Map. I also bought Bredok's 737 Max8 for MSFS2020. I downloaded a Grumman Goose and The Savage Grravel bush plane... and a 16' USB 3.2 cable to link my Q2 into it all
