My perception, from over several months is that many in the community that had graphics cards that couldn't take advantage of it mumbled repeatedly about "Fake frames" and "Nvidia trying to force people to upgrade" or even about "Blurry graphics", studiously ignoring repeated corrections that this depended on the chosen settings. It's been interesting seeing the quick 180 on the desirability of this technology once people abruptly got access and could actually use it for themselves......

Well.... Lets see how it turns out.......

And even I'm not so far in that I will watch more than the occasional (Mostly 3D) movie! As for Skyrim, the difference between the flat and Vr versions are pretty much nonexistent, so there's really no true upside to putting up with the sometimes uncomfortable headset, possibly for hours, just for pretty much the exact same experience as on a monitor. This changes dramatically with a sufficiently upgraded/modded Skyrim, on a computer that can handle the added visual complexity. Suddenly, you may feel you're actually inside a lush fantasy universe, and you might spend all your time thereafter gawping in astonishment at all of the details that draw you deeper than you've ever been into that universe.....

Galactic Newsflash! Yesterday, after literally years of struggle, allied human forces critically damaged the Thargoid Titan Supership Taranis. Over the last 24 hours since the daring human strike, thousands of corrosion-resistant Terran vessels gathered to witness cascading internal damage increase until the massive Thargoid carrier met its end at the same time Thargoid forces were reported to be fleeing en-masse from the Human inhabited "bubble" of the Galaxy. After years of struggle, Is this the true, final end of the war?

Considering switching to VR
HiFlyer replied to mrlip's topic in Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
A lot of the tweaking is completely voluntary from a community known for finding it hard to leave well enough alone...... I get what I think are pretty acceptable results, with the only real tweaking being the installation of virtual desktop, and not even having to "dial-in" the sim very far from the basic settings; but the fact is, a lot of simmers just..... naturally like to tinker. Virtual desktop would likely not be the useful and much recommended pay-ware it's become, if it was not already doing 95% of any heavy tweak lifting via quick and easy/intuitive settings. -

Some insight on what would otherwise be yet another slightly mysterious windows update. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-kb5034848-preview-update-adds-usb-80gbps-support/ -

You could also try Steam link for vr first, as its a free download. Virtual desktop is, of course also highly recommended. https://www.meta.com/en-gb/experiences/5841245619310585/ -
Well...... I've kind of always had this feeling that I live real life every day.... Like a truck driver that wouldn't be caught dead playing American truck simulator, why would I read about people just like me doing similarly mundane things, when I can read about fighting dragons, or single handedly winning an interstellar war? Like many, I will read about (semi) real life if it includes enough naughtiness though, but of course that's just biology, evolution, hormones and etc temporarily taking control of the bus, so I plead insanity.... 🤔
