Bethesda's formula is pretty dated. They changed up a few things for Starfield, but it's still same the old dialog system.

Us poors can't bring cell phones into the courthouse.

Or go in with a lot of money you're willing to lose for no guaranteed payout

You're back in boot county once you escape the metropolis.

The only thing Red Wings has kept up on for quality is their hand-stiched boots, and they made them much more expensive than they used to be. What used to last 10+ years before needing repair; now only lasts about a year and can't be repaired. It's sad, because the leather is still good on my boots, but the soles are completely worn out and almost bald.

HTC, Valve, and Oculus (well before the Facebook buyout) established very early on that frame rates of 90 fps or higher with a response time of <1 ms were critical factors for preventing motion sickness. Meta either hasn't gotten the memo or just doesn't care.

Even with well-established VR legs, I start feeling unpleasant if my FPS starts dropping below 75 for extended periods of time.

Aside from that, it's also down to game development. I've been seeing newer, inexperienced VR developers creating scenes that don't take into consideration how our brains perceive motion; and they end up creating some nausea-inducing scenes or game mechanics, in addition to doing things like shoving your head onto the floor or through an object. The easiest example is pressing into a wall or table, and the colliders shove your head and body back when you're not expecting it.

It sounds like "Whinge/ing" is equivalent to a tantrum or "hissy fit".

With the phone off, the isopropyl should be safe. It'll dry quick, too.

To actually answer your question:
Super glue would be a decent option. You should only need one drop to secure the tray.

If you ever need to open the tray again, wet the area with isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes, and it should pop right open without damage. If you get too much resistance, add more alcohol and wait a little longer.

There is also a 2-part epoxy with similar performance called "Doubkr Bubble" that also dissolves with alcohol, but it's definitely overkill for a SIM tray.

On the plus side, you can use any Bluetooth or USB compatible controller that you find comfortable and a cheap stand to make your experience more comfortable. Steam's controller support is fantastic.

It's a very big deal for a small town.

True. Thankfully, it's a common part, so I was able to replace mine relatively easily and it's held up well.

If it is a Deckard coming soon, I'll definitely be working out for one.

It's still fulfilling its role well. Meanwhile, the Index is getting pretty old compared to current-gen VR headsets. It's still a fantastic headset, but it would be nice to have something smaller, lighter, and wireless.

Bigscreen's Beyond headset should be looked at as something the next wave of VR headsets should strive for.

This one flew over my head

Sadly, boomers are now referring to USB-C cables as "iPhone chargers"

I've played in a DnD group using Discord before. Google Sheets works surprisingly well as a gameboard. It also allowed us to move characters and point stuff out remotely, since it supports simultaneous live editing.

"If you want me to develop something like that, here is my consulting rate. Yes, I know it's more than 5x my currently hourly rate. I can have a contract put together for you by my last day."

Ok, roll for damage, automatic crit.

Erased some text for meming. Enjoy.

What do you call a pilot who lies about their experience and keeps failing remedial training?
