  • Cv1 was significantly more expensive than a Quest 2. Like, double the price. Even Quest 3 is cheaper, assuming you want the best version of Quest 3.

    A rift cv1 nowadays would be a pretty bad deal even if you got it for free.

    Could you imagine someone getting a 10 year old cellphone?

    What about someone getting a 10 year old cellphone 10 years ago, like, the first smartphone, when everyone else was using an iphone 8 or galaxy s8.

    That is the era VR was in 10 years ago. CV1 was fine back then. But it is caveman VR now.

  • Yeah, you actually see MAGA hats in public here in Alberta. There is absolutely a recent push of foreign influence, but there was already momentum before the push. Hard to say now how much of that previous momentum was an old push, and how much it grew naturally. The only concrete thing I have ever seen them point at is equalisation payments, and they misunderstand them. Otherwise they think our oil should be worth more than it is, or respected more or something. But also that it should be only Alberta's oil and not help anyone else. "If they wanted part of our prosperity, they should have had their own oil", or something.

    Basically, it's just selfish greed all the way down, and some disillusion as to what we even have.

  • Just one more thing to blame when the "deal" ends up being as bad as they want it to be. Ignoring that it would also be their fault if a "mistranslation" led to the deal being bad. They only have to trick idiots into continuing to be strung along...

  • Ignoring the content of the article for a second. Did they not proofread this at all? There are so many spelling, grammar, and sentence fragment mistakes. I would joke that it was written by AI, but it has too many mistakes for even that to be the case.

  • Not sure specifically when they were added, but they are there now. Play the game once every 3 years or so, hehe. Last playthrough we did a 6 player group game. Basically played it like it was dnd sessions. That playthrough had the move speed stuff. Comes from a book seller. So if you know when that book seller was added, it would be then probably.

  • There are plenty of both permanent and temporary speed increases, with the permanent ones you are almost as fast as the horse. And with temporary ones you can be faster than it. No need for mods, just base game. And these are things you easily earn part way through the first year.

  • Recently? Or early on? The slingshot controls got an accuracy rework and also the option to be aim direction instead of pullback direction if the player prefers.

    I think most of the control issues for new players unfamiliar with the genre is how precise you need to be to water crops and stuff. Those of us that have been playing farm sims(not farming simulations, totally different beast once you write both words in full like that, lol) for decades already probably don't even remember a time when it was tough to manually align our tools to the grid. For a lot of people, stardew is their first one, and for a decent subset of them, it's not just their first farming sim, but their first video game on a controller.

    There have also been grid aligning innovations in other farming sims for onboarding new players. Some games have a modifier key you can hold down that basically turn the analog into digital movement while holding it. Your character will move exactly one grid space at a time and keep facing the same direction. That sort of thing can help, but honestly, probably better to just make the game fun enough that people are willing to keep playing while they are bad at it, to eventually get good at it. Not every farm sim can accomplish that.

  • Hmm, is the implication that they brought the ladder up to a lower slanted roof to get up to this one? And then once they got off the ladder, it started enough of a wobble to make it "walk" all the way down the slope of the lower roof? Using the ladder while it was already on a slope would have been a pretty bad idea if so. Especially alone, and already up one roof level.

  • The Blizzard songs were all also possible to play from the game install directory, too. Almost all of their early PC games had one of those. But yes, since they were a properly mastered audio track on the CD, they would play on regular music players too, which could be a really fun trick to show friends.

  • Yeah, 3 million trials to catch the thousands of criminals in his own words... or maybe instead of trials first, they could maybe only be rounded up if there is any actual reason to believe they are a criminal in the first place. Then it would only be thousands of trials and all the problems being caused by rounding up 900+ innocent people per 1 criminal, would all of a sudden go away.
