They stole claptrap from poker night at the inventory 2 - he’s never coming back :(

That’s true - you’re probably stuck between a rock and a hard place then. Meta is basically the only manufacturer running in the non-used budget category, and all of their competitors are not standalone headsets (or really budget unless you count old used stock), and your PC may not have high enough specs to drive one.

Hopefully once you’ve got money to spare, you can get a PC-centric headset at some point.

Ah, so you’re probably VRAM bottlenecked. You’d probably be best off getting a Quest 2 refurbished, since it has both standalone and PC connectivity.

You got this champ, here’s some tips:

Step 1: Be nice to those you play games with or chat to in a discord server

Step 2: Ask if they’d like to play together or add you as friend to hang out in the future

Step 3: Hang out with new friends and enjoy having company while you’re online

You can do it!

I’m not sure what your budget precisely would be, but there’s plenty of both refurbished and budget headsets available that you can connect to your desktop, if you already have a gaming PC.

Luckily, that’s what the internet is good for in that situation. So many amazing VR and gaming/VC celebrations with my friends.

And then they uh… um…

As someone who used to work in a US pharmacy, I understand you completely. More than 80% of the problems I had helping customers involved money and insurance coverage.

I’ll never complain about seeing great art projects! Looks good!

Police forces stopped using flashbangs because they were legally restrained in many locales, due to a variety of incidents including grenading a baby’s crib. I doubt they would have stopped otherwise.

Edit: US police forces

Amazing art as always!

I don’t think they are active equivalents. Unlike that situation, this is home field for both sides - with key infrastructure and intelligence data held extensively by the aggressor. The populace is not motivated or unified in ways that a populace defending against a foreign invader would.

While the technological gap may be somewhat different, the ability to conceal equipment is very limited by the defenders. It is unlikely that the aggressors would “withdraw” from the area as well, since their command would not tolerate losing a key economic and strategic location for the US (California has numerous military installations and production facilities). It is far more likely that ICE/Federal forces would double down.

Granted, this is from my perspective as an engineer who is trained in analyzing problems through a systems and logistics mindset. I don’t know how passion or the human psyche would play into this.

I still believe these are not apt comparisons though.

With very few exceptions, California doesn’t grandfather equipment into new gun regulations. The presumption is if you possess ammunition/guns that aren’t on prior sale records (IE: out of state purchase), you need to declare and possibly surrender them.

Given that all in-state transactions are recorded (as I mentioned in my prior comment), if any LEO found ammo or guns in your car trunk along a state line, you’re cooked.

Not guaranteed to happen, but certainly not risk free.

Moment you cross the state border back, you gotta declare it, forfeit it, or try to smuggle it. Legislators thought of that, same with importing guns.
