  • I’m really hoping so. I feel bad for players with the older headsets. It didn’t inspire confidence in me as a Quest 2 owner and it made me rethink an upgrade to a newer headset. I may be in the minority, but I like keeping older hardware/consoles as long as I can even if it comes at a cost to performance. I’d rather be the judge of when I need something better.

    I’m wondering how and why they made those changes after leaning more into open source and with third party headsets set to release soon.


  • Speaking as a Quest 2 owner, most games on there feel overpriced. Combine that with how Meta treats older hardware and you can safely guess that many players are probably not feeling confident buying games on that storefront anymore.

    Meta recently made developers not allow new updates or installs for older headsets which effectively locks games you paid for away from you being able to play them unless you buy a newer Meta headset.

    Conversely, you buy it on Steam where the prices don’t seem to be nearly as much in some cases too, and you can use it with nearly any PC VR headset and they don’t limit it only to newer headsets. Games I buy on Steam feel like mine and I actually have long term access to them. The Meta store’s versions feel like a long term rental situation, as long as I keep buying the newer headsets which is not feasible.

    The only benefits of buying on the Meta store is that it can be taken on the go and doesn’t require a PC to play.




  • Goats will eat everything and still look for more to eat.

    Neighbors on both sides of us had goats when I was younger and their backyards were always dry, dirt deserts with only one particular flower they’d never touch because it was poison. Even trees weren’t spared as far as the goat could stand on its hind legs or could pull down.




  • Most recent, but not the absolute worst, was ripping my pants at work. I bent down to pick something up and heard the rip. It was over my crotch region too. Thankfully I had boxers on but was still pretty embarrassed.

    Thankfully my boss was cool about it and I just drove over to Costco down the street and got a new pair and changed in the back of my car. He make a joke when I got back which was fine.








  • Probably because it adds something to the game that is unexpected and creates dialogue around this.

    Kind of like that Dune popcorn bucket. They absolutely knew what they were doing. Everything on the internet is sexualized to death.

    It’s just that CP77 was really poorly received on launch, too much so, that no one made memes about it because people were too busy memeing the horrible performance of the game. But had the launch gone successfully, guaranteed it would have been memed to death and talked about for a long while.
