Yeah, and I'm trying pull out details about a game that I read through the details on the same number of items you did months ago. I likely have the specifics wrong, but I do remember that there was some element other than simple positioning involved in blocking that caused me issues.
It took some time for me to get used to it. What helped me was to go into the settings and crank the haptics way, way up on the slots, then increase their size a little (I'm a little larger than average, and it doesn't take that into account - I couldn't store things on my hips because the activators were inside my... um... massive side abdominal muscles. Yeah.) Once you get the hang of where to reach, you can turn the haptics back down so that you're not always feeling 'tap tap tap' as you move around. One thing to note is that some slots are restricted as to what can be placed in them. That can also be changed in the settings, and I believe the map counts as a dagger.TheMix wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 4:46 pm Better holsters would be nice. There are supposed to be (via VRIK) two on each leg, two on each arm, a stomach one, a chest one, shoulders, and waist.
I can get the forearm ones to work reliably. And the shoulder one works great for the bow. The waist ones are usually okay. But I can only seem to get the chest to work. I think the calf ones work, but they are a pain, so I don't worry about them. But I'd like to try using the new map and compass, but only if I can store them both on my chest/stomach. I use the forearms for a dagger and a torch.
I’m just jealous that you are able to play it… That is the only VR game that ever made me sick. So much so that I have never gone back to it. I played through like the first two hours and didn’t feel off until I took the headset off. I immediately felt like I was going to throw up. Was bad enough that I laid down on the floor for like 20 minutes.
That's the thing - according to most, it is. I just can't figure out where the fun part is.
Into The Radius. I typed the whole thing out the first time, but I probably should have noted the abbreviation. Sorry. I know how annoying that can be.

I think the only one I have is Racket: NX.
I just read an update from the dev dated four days ago that says that they're working on the actual patch for this fall.Blackhawk wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 8:16 pm Zero Caliber I've played, and I enjoyed quite a bit, but it does have a few issues. I'm glad I played it, personally, but it's... quirky at times. It was released on the Quest 2 directly as Zero Caliber: Reloaded, and I understand that it's got quite a few improvements. The devs are in the process of porting the Quest 2 version back to Steam (they use completely different engines), and once they do so they'll be able to improve the two versions in tandem. If you're desperate for a military style single player campaign, go ahead and get it. If it's appealing, but not an immediate desire, get it (or play it) after the upgrade is finished.
Devolver Digital and VR are a combination I’m curious to check out, and the publisher is stepping back into the Immersion Zone with a new game that puts you in control of a giant creature with big, meaty tentacles. But instead of rampaging, in Firepunchd Games’ Tentacular, you’re a gentle giant. It’s a pleasant game about a cozy island, in fact.
You’ll see the world through the eyes of a towering creature, but what do you, like, actually do? There’s “action” and “construction” gameplay, so it’s a smidge sim-y, which isn’t necessarily what I was expecting at first given the premise and presentation. But it works! As for the story, there’s a reason the Great Tentacled One isn’t out to get people.

I still remember having the same thought - that it was just going to be a fun trick, something like watching a 3d movie. And I remember the first time I turned it on and was suddenly in the location as if I were actually standing there, and it completely blew me away.
After nearly ten years, John Carmack's time helping to guide VR hardware efforts at Meta (and at Facebook/Oculus before that) have come to a close. The id Software co-founder and Doom co-creator officially left Meta on Friday night, according to an internal company memo obtained by Insider and confirmed by the New York Times.
Carmack's departure message serves as a scathing indictment of crippling inefficiency at Meta that he said he was "offended by" and which he compared to a GPU with a measly five percent utilization rate. "We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort. There is no way to sugar coat this," he wrote. "I think our organization is operating at half the effectiveness that would make me happy."
More personally, Carmack complained that it has been a "struggle" for him to influence Meta's overall direction and that he's "wearied of the fight." Despite his high-ranking "consulting CTO / executive advisor" title, Carmack complained that he is "evidently not persuasive enough" to change Meta's VR efforts for the better.
