  • Not that shocking? It's pushing 45gb or so on mobile, and my PC install is like 85gb.

    I can see how you might end up slightly bigger on a version that might have more than a single version of each resource for the good console and the potato one, since I'm assuming that they're doing universal downloads and not packaging two versions?

  • Absolutely.

    2.0 was 100% not the same game, but it was vastly improved and perfectly playable well before then.

    I played at launch, but on PC, and it was... fine. In that, unlike Starfield, it was a game with characters and a story that was interesting enough to carry the buggy world and somewhat less than fleshed out side-quest mechanics.

    But, like, there were enough buildings and set pieces and people and stories to actually sit down and spend 200 hours exploring the world without seeing the same stupid PoIs over and over and over again, while trying to care about the least interesting NPC companions I've probably ever dealt with.

    And Phantom Liberty is fucking fantastic, so they took a bit of a turd at launch and turned it into an amazing game.

  • Are uptimekuma and whatever you're trying to monitor on the same physical hardware, or is it all different kit?

    My first feeling is that you've got some DNS/routing configuration that's causing issues if you're leaving your local network and then going through two layers before coming back in, especially if you have split horizon DNS.

  • Fallout and Skyrim VR

    takes a lot of modding

    To be fair, so do the 2D versions. VR Skyrim, at least, is super fun once you get the modding done.

    As for general value: it depends.

    I mostly play various "exercise" games like Beat Saber, Synth Riders, Pistol Whip and Thrill of the Fight. The Quest is fantastic for those, because you can untether and go stand outside in a nice open surface and whilst you look like an absolute idiot, it can be a hell of a workout if you put in the effort.

    As for like, traditional games, it's less rosy: there's very little market, thus very little software support, thus very little market, which means there's very little software, which means....

    There's a ton of gems all over the place if you're after slightly more social activities, but I'd say for single-player game experiences you're going to be limited for good options that run exclusively on the headset.

    That said, there's a LOT of options in PC-tethered VR that are fantastic, assuming you can/want to tether to a PC. If you don't, that's fair, but all the really really in-depth experiences require a pretty beefy gaming pc. Stuff like HL: Alyx, because it's (still) probably the best VR-native game that's been released so far.

    There's also the VR-versions-of-PC-games like Flight Simulator and various racing and space games that are worth checking out if you're interested in them, and VR adds a lot to those experiences, if you can run the VR versions with sufficient performance which eh, is a whole different ball of problem.

  • Oops

    Jump
  • richest companies on the planet

    What kills me is how fucking awful their choice of slop is, since you'd assume their marketing budget is larger than the GDP of several small countries combined.

    Like if you want to peddle slop, at least peddle good slop, and not something that would have been laughably bad years ago.

  • I'm literally using 15.1 right now, and set up 86box las tonight which is unsigned.

    You hit a button in the control panel, say 'fine', enter your password and it runs.

    So no, that's not how it works and he's just plain wrong, but it's Lunduke who is usually wrong when he's not being a chud, so that's the usual for him.

  • I'm going to roll my eyes: if you read the change it's literally 'Instead of cmd-clicking, you need to hit 'okay cool' in the control panel', not YOU CANT RUN UNSIGNED SOFTWAER!!@11!!111

    The reason for this change was, shockingly, because malicious asshats were putting up malware pages telling people 'oh you have to cmd-click to install totally legit thing here!' and this puts a nice warning up in front of less-educated people in the hopes of preventing the spread of malware.

    I'm 100% for this change since it literally adds 3 seconds of clicking a single time for an app, and makes it where my family members are less likely to get totally screwed over.

  • If your device is out of your sight, then yeah, you should probably assume it's compromised.

    Of course, that's hardly JUST China doing funky shit with your devices, but depending where you're calling home, odds are customs/immigration when you head home will try to do the exact same thing, too.

    And the answer to everything is yes, always use a VPN if you don't trust the network and you should never trust the network.

  • Does !12345:p do what you want?

    Edit: that also makes hitting the up arrow result in whatever command that was, so if you wanted to edit the line or whatever, you could !12345:p, up, then edit and execute.
