I knew about Discord since the very beginning. But it felt always fishy. Why would they provide a service for frees? Teamspeak servers cost money on a monthly basis?

Over the time more and more small communities i liked to interact with were only accessible via Discord. Which was alright because you didnt even need an account to do it. Jump in, do the thing and fuck off.

At some point it was just convenient to make an account with an email adress i dont even remember anymore. Just to keep up with all the niche interest groups. Then a lot of them started to require my phone number. lmao. I just left those “servers”.

But ngl over the years i found some communities which will hurt to abandon. The network effect is real. But its maybe time to fuck off forever.

cool, but i’m just going to hope my soon to be 6 years old card is going to carry on for another 6 years.

Yeah, but depending on where you live you can get some dirt cheap kit on the used market. Depending on who you know you probably could even get a headset gifted. I for sure tried to just give away my Rift S to friends.

Sure, its not the newest shiny thing. But is your PC even powerful enough for these?

I constantly see people in VR communities which are happy because they sniped a headset for 40 - 100 bucks. Which today is like premium controller money or depending on the game not even the price of a premium edition.

Best part is if you invest now for the first time you have tons of games of the last 10 years to play. VR still has a content issue. But not if you get that kind of backlog at once. Well, minus a few great games which were lost in time.

I liked it a lot and played through the entire thing in two sittings. It has a really great artstyle and nonverbal story telling. Yeah, its not super interactive when it comes to gameplay but it has some tricks up its sleeve over its run time to mix things up considerably. So i never got bored. The mechanics are never super deep but always feel really polished.

I’d say if you like that kind of game you will really like it. If you dont its maybe good enough to still win you over but there is still a high chance you will bounce of after the first few hours.

Oh, yeah and its really hardware hungry because UE5. Its one of the very few games i played through in 30FPS in recent years.

misleading headline. if you use factory overclocked 5090 which can draw up to a 1000(!)watts its faster than the founders edition which is capped at 575watts.
