I’m probably going to buy the deckard anyway and hope for the best simply because my index is in rough shape (and honestly valve has NEVER given me a reason to distrust them), but if the controllers are indeed compatible I will be pretty happy. Still mildly put off because the switches are still trash, but it’s nothing a t3 screwdriver and a steady hand can’t fix.

Also didn’t know about the rendering. That’s actually pretty nifty. I’ve still had what I guess are connection issues where I’ll get dumped into the loading void for a few seconds, and I’d much prefer a wired connection to avoid that.

I assume they think it’s going to reduce workload and therefore production time or at least hours worked. Will be fun to see how that plays out for them.

That’s only if you consider Russia an adversary, and I have bad news regarding Trump on that front…

Honestly upset they’re making a standalone and not iterating on the index. Middle finger triggers are fine, but the index controllers are really next level in terms of immersion. The only issue is that the switches in the sticks suck ass and drift after a few hundred hours. Also I’ve had struggles with steam link on a quest 3, and I don’t enjoy introducing unnecessary latency with wireless connections, especially in vr where anything above an 11ms frametime is liable to make people motion sick.

If the headset is capable of running intensive games on its own then I’ll be slightly reassured.

A fellow inserted a jar into a place you shouldn’t insert a jar.

According to Sein from Frieren, no.

E4 mafia runs that shit. They just behave for the E5s because they were colleagues recently.

Let me introduce you to a wonderful concept called qualified immunity.

Look, if wrinkled clothes are a turn off for her she’s going to be real upset once she sees how I live. Best filter em out early.

“Are these bidders in any danger?”

“Yes”

Nah still checks out. Fucking in the rain seems interesting but you get cold quick and water makes for a terrible lubricant.

Those rabbits aren’t going to mulch themselves 🤷

A mission in starfield (shit game but honestly decent writing at the very least) included just this. A generation ship finally arrived at its destination long after FTL travel was invented to find that the intended colony planet was already a fancy resort planet. You have to broker some kind of agreement between the parties.

MUTHAFU-

Bullying unethical companies is peace of mind.

Nah, defederation means we couldn’t bully them anymore.

Hyperbole is a thing and a 20% dip is still yuge.

Almost. It’s one of those conflating things. They say “criminal illegals,” then talk about violent criminals shortly afterward to cement that connection.

As for non-violent immigrants, it becomes “they broke the law by being here” and they get no sympathy regardless, and they’re still lumped into the “criminal illegal” group.

It’s the same thing with trans people. They want to conflate gender affirming care with the final steps of transition, namely bottom surgery. Therefore when the average republican sees “gender affirming care for minors” which in every case is simply lived experience, hormone blockers, and maybe hrt, they see “chopping off kid’s dicks.”

Afterward, Bandar told me privately that the Saudis were very worried about where Bush’s obsession with Iraq was going. The Saudis were alarmed that attacking Iraq would only benefit Iran and set in motion severe destabilizing repercussions across the region.

New headcanon, Bush knew the Saudis were behind 9/11 and invaded Iraq specifically to fuck them over. /s

Interesting read though. The 80% number believing Iraq was involved is not surprising to me, I just didn’t realize the bush admin actually pushed that narrative.
