Yeah there should really be more first party games for it. Unfortunately it was probably doomed to some extent from the start due to the price. It's very hard to compete against quest's subsidized pricing and scale, and I guess most people don't care too much about having higher quality games.

Probably it's the last VR headset I will buy until someone figures out how to bring PSVR2 or higher graphical fidelity without buying a whole gaming PC and covert a large portion of standard AAA games to VR. Quest isn't good enough and PSVR2 won't get enough support.

As the doctors ran tests, Joel grew sicker. Within days, he was too exhausted to walk. On the eve of his 25th birthday, he received a diagnosis: acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive, often fatal blood cancer that usually strikes people more than twice his age. Joel told the doctors he was not a regular smoker and had no family history of blood cancers. But he did have one risk factor: his job.

For decades, wildfire fighters have been sent to work in toxic smoke without masks or warnings about long-term health risks, The New York Times has reported. They inhale poisons that are linked to more than a dozen kinds of cancer, including leukemia. Many are falling gravely ill, and some are dying at young ages.

But when these firefighters get sick, they don’t all receive the same help.

About two-thirds of the country’s 40,000 wildland firefighters work for state and federal agencies. By law, many of their cancers are assumed to be job-related, and their workers’ compensation benefits are automatically approved.

The other firefighters — about 14,000 — are like Joel. They work for private companies that the government hires to shore up its ranks against a growing wildfire threat. Reliance on these contract crews has more than doubled since 2019, as climate change drives more extreme fire seasons. They have fought alongside federal workers in every major fire of the last decade.

She's very well drawn.

Yeah Veilguard is just a fun romp. Nothing too deep or meaningful, but just sort of a fun well paced refuge from everyday life.

There's still a pretty good pipeline of games for PSVR2. Not sure how long it will last, but for now my biggest issue is waiting for prices to come down on some of those titles rather than the lack of titles I want to play.

You mean Farage is lying again? Shocker!

Didn't most of the salients they made doing this end up collapsing/getting encircled?

At this point it's just an excercise in "how many times can he get you idiots to fall for it"

I think a lot of them would be bad trip material. This one would probably be good though, especially on a big screen like a projector

The Brave Little Toaster was intense!

Zelda TOTK now that I finally have a Switch again. So good in 4k HDR.

Dragon's age: Veilguard. Got this for free with PS Plus and was pleasantly surprised how fun it was despite the anti woke brigade review bombing it.

Seriously, go ahead and try to give someone that shit. No one would be surprised I watch porn and I don't do it in any sort of interesting way. I'm guessing no one would even want to watch it.

I have a real hard time with this. Because I usually can't think of much else to say..

I mean I wouldn't look at this as a laptop replacement, just something I could use that way in a pinch. Lots of clamshell phones in the early 2000's had this layout and it worked pretty well.

If you really wanted to use this as a laptop much better to carry another little folding keyboard with you.
