I've used pretty much all of the headsets on the market. I still haven't tried a Big screen VR headset though :(
For popular headsets I'd rank them kinda like this
Valve Index - it's just really old and really expensive now, don't buy one unless you get a hell of a deal on it used
Quest 2 - Still very very good, screens are getting a little dated now
PSVR2 - its a little janky on PC but it works fine and the OLEDs are sublime
Pixmax Crystal - Money not a problem this is the best headset I've tried. The FOV is crazy, displays are beautiful, and tracking is damn near perfect. Its just like $2300 for the whole lot
Quest 3 - Overall the best headset on the market. Its $570 (just get the pro strap, trust me) and gets you so close to the big boys in screen quality, plus it's wireless, plus it has crazy good passthrough (I use it a lot, most people don't), and streams PC games perfectly.
PSVR2 has really really really good looking displays, but it has some other downsides which really bring it down in the rankings. I'd stay away from it unless you get a deal on a used one, then it would absolutely be worth it.
Any flight/racing sim (this is actually the biggest selling point I can make. Seriously if you like flight/racing sims, please get one. It'll change your life)
I'm not the person who originally replied but locomotion is significantly more comfortable than teleports. The teleporting makes me dizzy and messes with my sense of balance and orientation.
I also don't get motion sick in any non-vr setting either.
Honestly you still kinda can, just instead of going into the store, go to Rtings and just find the TV that is the size you want, has the features you want, and is currently the highest rated on the site.
They have incredible reviews that go into very minuscule detail which, if you aren't a TV person, will mostly mean nothing to you. But look at the scores at the top of the review, and read the little blurb to make sure there aren't any deal breakers for you. And then just order it from whichever big box store in your town has the best deal.
also in the world of consumer facing software, nobody wants a big upfront payment
I think this is a much bigger thing than people realize. Like it's all great to say "I would pay much more for a one time payment", but when it actually comes down to it most people won't.
Look at something like Plex, they offer both a subscription as well as a one time purchase. But in 2023 (the newest data I could find) the subscriptions make up 84% of Plex's entire revenue stream. And the plex lifetime subscription really isn't that bad either, it's only $120 and it's supposed to go up to only (I know how y'all feel about it being "only", I don't care) $250 at the end of April. It's really not that expensive for a lifetime cost.
if you could cross this impassable stretch of inhospitable wilderness then all you would need to do is cross this other impassable stretch of inhospitable wilderness!
So I walked the Pacific Crest Trail in 106 days. That's 2650mi/4264km so I walked about 25mi/40km per day.
So if I could maintain that pace (which is debatable because the PCT doesn't go through different countries or warzones) this would take me 557 days, or about 18 months.
Best way to help cull the deer population is to get your hunting license and fill your quota! Plus all fees (at least in my state) from hunting/fishing related things fund conservation efforts!
It is fucking delicious. And easy as shit to make too. It's got like 4 ingredients and takes 30 mins start to finish. My family used to eat this a lot when i was growing up because we were poor and busy and this is cheap and easy. But its one of the "poor people" foods im most nostalgic about
Ingredients
1 can of cream of mushroom
1/2 milk
4 cups green beans (they don't have to be fresh, canned or frozen can work too)
French Onions
Cooking
Mix everything into a pan (except the onions) and cook at 350f for 25 mins
Sprinkle French Onions on top
Cook for another 5 minutes
If you want to get really fancy you can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top after it cooks (I like Parmesan (but only the saw dust stuff in the tube), or sharp cheddar). It also makes great leftovers because it microwaves really well, and can be frozen and thawed with no issue.
My quest 3 is already plenty good for PCVR so it'll have to be really good and honestly idk if I trust valve to make a really good headset. The index had really good controls but the tracking, screens, and tether were all annoying even when it launched. But the steam deck is incredible so we will see.
Plus I actually use my quest in AR mode probably more than I use it for actually playing VR games so I'm really excited to get a headset and OS built focused around AR.
Your biometrics work the first time you log in after a restart? That seems insecure to me.
