I’m gonna guess you are using the statistics that include animals specifically chosen and treated as offensive animals on purpose. And not statistics based purely on pet ownership, since those stats also don’t lie, but tell my side of the story.

Statistics may not lie, but you do have to know what they are actually saying.

Ah sorry, not from the states. Our police are well trained and effective. But I still think even there I probably wouldn’t resort to killing the animal myself, there must be a better option.

While it’s entirely possible to raise a pit bull that way, I have never personally seen a dangerous one. Breed of dog is a pretty small part of their eventual behaviour.

To be fair, for a wild animal, relocation is an option.

But for a pet alligator, no I wouldn’t kill it. I would call it in to the people equipped to handle it properly, just like if I had a problem with a neighbours dog. It can suck to get authorities involved, but it’s certainly better than just killing it myself like a crazy person.

I don’t get how killing it yourself even comes up as an option unless you relish the idea of killing something but are usually stymied by circumstance into it “no longer” seeming like a good idea.

Just a heads up, Alterlife likely never got off the ground. They mocked up a demo video with store assets 3 years ago, but were never heard from again. I still have it on my wishlist, but my hopes are not up, lol.

You can tell your therapist that you’d prefer to leave medication to a last resort whenever possible. Even in cases where medication is very helpful, there are other options.

Would you say to not play World of Warcraft until it is “finished”? It has huge game changing updates all the time.

Can always go the krobus route, platonic roomates with a friendly shadow monster.

Could it be something like Veloren? That’s not an upcoming game, but it seems to fit your description.

It’s an open source voxel MMO. But it has been available for a while. Maybe a recent video showcased an upcoming future feature.

Oh, I didn’t even know they had any unmarked NSFW pictures on the moe channels, they all looked completely safe to me.

Though, to be fair, have you seen a picture of Vance without the eye liner and facial hair… the look does a lot to help him. He just takes it a little too far. It’s not magic. It can only help so much before it starts to look desperate.

The machines are more easily verifiable than the paper ballots. They just can’t find anyone smart enough to verify for the republican side, not that they trust the opinions of experts even on their own payroll.

It’s like, to all the people on their side, the machines are some scary, unknowable box that nobody understands what goes on inside them… some sort of devil magic or something. How can anyone know how to make sure the machine hasn’t been tampered with?

In actuality, they specifically want paper ballots because the ways to tamper with them are more well known and accessible to them. The machines wouldn’t allow for it.

I personally often use multiple flat 4k screens in VR too. But it’s only one of the options I have there. Can also just be there in 3D. Modern headsets with pancake lenses resolve 4k just as clearly as flatscreens now, so distant objects or small objects are equally visible as a physical 4k screen.

You can still use all the physical cockpit stuff with some VR headsets. Most ideally, the Quest pro, as it also has pancake lenses. Quest pro only covers the top 2/3rds of your field of view, leaving anything on your desk still perfectly visible/interactible. It’s also designed to be worn with glasses on, rather than getting prescription lenses for it. I do recommend a third party forehead pad, the default one doesn’t fit all foreheads well. I could only wear it for about 2 hours out of the box, with a 30 dollar pad replacement I can wear it infinitely, 16 hours plus.

For people that don’t have real-life stuff they want to see while in VR, Quest 3 is the better option. For non-meta headsets, pico has one with pancake lenses, and I think varjo has a couple. Bigscreen beyond is popular with some people. But yeah, it’s hard to find a good headset worth recommending for people who won’t touch meta stuff. Other headsets drawbacks are pretty prominent. And while I’m no fan of meta, them being the maker of my headsets hasn’t actually come with any downside. Where as the money they have put into VR has brought huge upsides.

Run it with Virtual desktops VDXR runtime. Not only does it run better, but it skips a step in your setup time. No need to have SteamVR running at all. Euro truck sim had a bug 2 patches ago that was messing with VR, their menu redesign also fixed it. If your truck sim games aren’t showing up in VD’s game launch tab, use the -openVR launch command instead of -Oculus launch command. That should populate it in that list.

Does the 3D depth not add much for you? It always bothered me that most people don’t seem to care about 3D… every time it started to come back again, it always fizzled out and got harder and harder to find. With VR, I’m so happy that it should finally be here to stay.

But honestly, even when just recreating multiple flat screens in VR, being able to place them at 20 feet away for the comfort of my eyes, and then size them up until they still look like a desktop mounted triple monitor solution at first glance, until you realize how far away they are. All that for about 500$ on quest 3, or 1000$ if you want to go with Quest pro and still use all your physical setup with it. Quest pro is not a fully immersive headset, it’s designed for people who still want to see their keyboard or whatever is in that same general location. The perfect headset to blend with already having a physical cab recreation.

I wouldn’t recommend anything less than a Quest 3 or Quest pro. Having used everything before that, pancake lenses are the number 1 most important breakthrough in VR so far. Yes, even counting that one you just thought of that seems like it should be more important. Lol. Ok fine, maybe some other parts were a bit more important, like accurate head tracking and all the low-latency work… but pancake lenses are right up there, just behind the fundamental, foundational breakthroughs.

I do have to ask, when you say “bother setting up the headset”, is yours not just a “put it on and launch the game”. What sort of set up?

So, because I already spent lots of money, I wanted to honor it by spending more money. Hehe.

I don’t know. Whatever. It’s certainly not for me. I get doing all that before good VR was an option. But now a VR headset and a motion rig feels like a way better use if you want to spend alot of money on it. And no motion rig if you don’t. But, I can comfortably wear VR for 10+ hours and didn’t even have to train away motion sickness or anything. So, of course, VR seems great to me.

There is also the option of a Quest pro. I don’t know exactly what a multi-monitor setup like this costs, but a brand new Quest pro is 900$. It’s purpose built for blending your physical work space with a virtual one. Loading up 4 virtual monitors, or one really wide curved one if you prefer that, and putting them/it 20 feet away for eye comfort is also an option if you don’t want stuff to be 3D/harder to run.

That’s awesome. Buncha nerds, hehe. I miss when games were made by a handful of friends, sure sometimes it meant they leaned a little too heavily on a mechanic that only played well in their opinion and stuff like that, the upsides were worth it though.

I really don’t understand picking that over VR. VR gives you so many more options for way cheaper.

I mean, I certainly wouldn’t assume it was more than just the one thing yesterday, if you did, why didn’t you warn anyone? But now that it has been 2 things, you can certainly bet every other device is checked or chucked for a while. Fool me twice…
