I just got VR sailing wich is really interesting to learn a bit about how to use the wind at what angle of the sail to always move forward as fast as possible and the races are pretty fun so far. I put the waves setting to the max and my boat jumps and almost flips a lot XD

I also purchased crossfire sierra squad and the couple missions i played so far where not that interesting since i’m still in the tutorial but it feels like a flatscreen game that got turned into a VR game so some things are a bit janky. I’ve spent most of my time playing in the shooting range testing all the weapons. That was fun. The clay dummies are really fun to explode in dust and chunks.


I’ve heard that FEX is already getting pretty good results to run windows games on android phones.


I end up buying most VR games that come out on steam so i’m sure i’ll find interesting things :) maybe some that came out and where quickly forgotten as a lot are.


I’ve been meaning to play silent slayer for a while and i finally gave it a shot this week! It’s a VR game where you have to kill vampires in their sleep by disarming magic barriers around their coffins and silently delivering the death blow. I’ve seen reviews saying their hands where too shaky and couldn’t progress but i didn’t have that issue at all. I did have a bit of an issue when my controller’s tracking would drift and snap back in place at the worst moments but i don’t think i died from that. It was a short but very fun experience! Just challenging enough that it made me lock in but was smooth sailing most of the time as i took my time to work steadily and with precision.


I did. I played it a bit and it’s fun. Not sure why it didn’t really scratch that itch. I feel like the mechanics are too simple and the moment i try to push the physics it just doesn’t really do interesting stuff i think. The best part was collapsing a huge structure by cutting each leg but it took a while and the fps fell to a crawl and i couldn’t really move my head to see stuff breaking and falling unfortunately.


I’m still patiently waiting for a 3D VR voxel based falling sand engine type game. There are a couple of interesting projects working towards that goal and technology helps make the cubes smaller and smaller from minecraft to something more like cube world with more material interactions.


Is it viable for a studio like this to just reform under a new name and continue doing what they love?


That’s fair lol it’s just nice that all the players are on pause when i’m not on so i can get back in in 6 months and continue where i left off with the same “people” XD


I played quite a bit of erenshor. It’s a single player offline MMORPG style game with fake players. It’s pretty fun. It really scratches my MMO healer gameplay that i love but not the MMO part that i don’t XD the way i’ve been playing has been pretty grindy since i don’t explore the NPC dialogues enough and just look for dungeons for my level and i like that. I have the usual team with bots playing paladin, sorcerer, rogue, archer and i’m a druid.


Are you a big half life fan? Alyx was my first half life game and i really enjoyed it! I hope you’re not too spoiled about it and can enjoy all of it first hand :)


Been playing the new zelda breath of the wild VR mod so much! It’s amazing! The dev of the mod has been really active at fixing most of the issues very quickly. I’m like halfway through the game rn.


There’s a new mod to play the wii U version of botw in VR coming out in 2 days hopefully it doesn’t get nuked before the release…


Also is there a way to change the factory reset image to put the official steam os one instead of windows?



Every time i tried it i just wandered on the planet i spawned on for hours without making much progress. Last time i tried it i played in VR and i lost my ship in the tutorial and just looked for it for 2 hours going from top of mountains to other top of mountains thinking it should be around here somewhere XD


The name if pretty whimsical tho wich seems like a big plus.


“The yacht has a strong focus on team building and onboard scientific work; in 2023, the yard suggested the yacht’s engagement in scientific research and discovery meant there would be “innovative technologies” as well as a convention-defying layout that focuses on bringing groups together.”

“She is not just a high-performance vessel,” said Charlie Birkett, CEO and co-founder of Y.CO. “She is a working ecosystem, designed to support everything from world-class hospitality to scientific research. That is what happens when you put people and purpose at the centre.”


Yea it says on the wiki that the devs shifted to a business side simulation software model.


There are a lot of things governments are not doing that people with money do that benefit everyone and that’s a good thing imo. Governments want to be liked and be re-elected by the mass and that means doing the things a lot of people care about wich is a good thing too. A lot of good is also being done in the world not by billionaires or governments but by groups of people with goals that asks for funding from average people and rich people to reach their goals. I will always applaud people for doing good things. That doesn’t mean i can’t be very critical when they are doing bad things. As far as i know the boats gabe newell is buying are for research and not to chill and have parties.


I loved them as a kid and i found OEcake a couple years ago that i’ve enjoyed spending lot’s of time in. There’s also a newer but still old PhyziosStudioPro_Modded. That i found the file from https://oecake.fandom.com/wiki/Phyzios_Studio for me my first experience of OEcake was in aqua forest. https://youtu.be/2IOBsKZFhn0


Tbf gabe has been pushing for ocean exploration for a long time since we barely know our oceans and he has the money to fund that. Very cool stuff normal people can’t do.


I often see gambling ads on my local TV channels that are from the government basically saying if you’re going to gamble at least gamble on stuff we profit from instead of giving your money to an out of country company. Is it fair to say it’s the same for valve doing good work with bad money that people would have spent gambling anyways? Idk i’m connecting the two but they might just both be bad XD


I’m back in skyrim VR but i’m using VRocker that let’s me walk or run in place to move in game. It’s been pretty fun. :)


I started playing a VR game called “mothergunship: forge” it’s a roguelike wave shooter that gives you a bunch of blocks to build insane weapons that grow crazier and crazier every room. I prefer to put everything on the left hand so it ends up looking like a tree full of connectors, guns, power-ups, hats and keys XD


I’m really enjoying shadow legend VR it came out in 2019 and the devs released arken age recently so i checked out their older work. It’s really good and i can definitely see the arken age DNA in shadow legend!




It’s cool that someone was able to bring these WMR headsets back from the dead after windows killed them.


I love the soundtrack of underdogs. The song i like the most is ready for war (wraz. Remix) by Dominus and magugu. It feels really good in the game when you get in the big boy arena and this song starts.



Piewdiepie made a community post yesterday supporting it and asking people to go sign if that has still something to do with it.


Yep XD i’ve been really enjoying lemmy since leaving reddit. :)


Or meta just doesn’t want to give that one good game to a competitor anymore XD


I mean when a small team with no budget can make a good demo that sells the idea but then can’t complete the project with years and houdreds of thousands what is going on? I backed like 8 kickstarters and only 3 made it out and 1 is saying they are about to be done after 7 years. Also one of the successful one’s shut down because of not enough post launch monetization. I’m still going to help with stuff i believe in after many failures but just not as enthusiastically.


The goal with crowdfunding is usually to show publishers that the game has interest and that they should help bring it to life.


Tbf they had some good exclusives for a while made for them by devs. The only one i can think of right now is exit the gungeon.



I’m practicing for a PVP VR sword fighting game tournament (the game is death duel VR on steam). This tournament is jousting so i need to practice handling the new horses and lance XD


I’ve seen people get pretty good results but i don’t think i had the right settings so i wasn’t able to make it run. I have a 3090 wich is pretty much the minimum for that XD i also tried to run the game in 8K just to see how it would look with no luck. I ended up playing at 4K medium settings for now. I’ll definitely try again tomorrow with someone’s UEVR injector profile.


The unreal engine VR injector is already running pretty well XD
