hey y'all- this may be a silly question but i want to make sure before i buy an Oculus Quest that my laptop can support Link.
since it's a laptop, it's not *technically* a "Desktop" 1060, but it sort of is right? it's not a 1060M, so it should be supported? any experience, pointers, or warnings about any of the laptop specs are be appreciated.
- this is my current laptop
- this is what GeForce says:
- this is what Oculus Link's compatibility page says:

is that a game you ran through Link into the Quest? (sorry, i'm not super familiar)
hopefully there was no crunch but given they pulled people off other games to finish this there was likely at least a little crunch. either way I've seen one person confirm at a minimum it was in development for 4.5 years. And that is just how long they knew about it without saying anything.
I feel like that must have been a low ballpark.
Also, it did take a while...
Recently built my new PC, have a weird problem with it though
When I turn the system off, the light above the power button remains on as well as one of the RGB lights in my case?
The only way to shut them off is to flick the switch on my PSU off? Any ideas what could be causing it?

No, I've got an original Rift. Just saying the 1060 should be good for most VR games. Not sure about HL Alyx, of course.
Really? Their most popular game on Steam for the last like year has had a dev team of like half a people. I stopped playing CSGO for nearly 3 years and there is nothing new except skins :lol
According to Twitter, the art team is roughly 20. There appears to be about 5 on audio. I'm not sure if 25 programmers is a realistic number or not, especially if you figure level designers have to fit in here somewhere.
Maybe the Source 2 tools are just super efficient, lol
man just finished Jedi Fallen Order, and wow what an amazing game. Really loved it. Started so strong and ended even longer.
I have no affinity at all for Star Wars and it made me actually want to go and rewatch all the movies lol

Good question, I wasn't referring to Source 2. Either canned or still under wraps, but decoupled from HL:VR, I suppose.
Was thinking this could be the case, and hoping they would go with the idea of having it without licencing fees, so long as any game developed with it also shows up on Steam
There is currently a bug that shadows cause frame drops regardless of hardware lol. it's so broken was getting drops on my 2080ti - even though using less than 50% gpu usage and no CPU usage. Turning shadows to low fixed it and got rid of drops, it's been that way for years and they can't be assed to fixed it. pretty lame
Its true. its not a perfect title but I REALLY enjoyed the theme and atmosphere
Oxygen Not Included is on sale right now.
Should I get it or just save the money for RimWorld ?

Forza has licensing concerns so that probably won't come to Steam until the next iteration. (don't want to put it on Steam then pull it 3 months later). Sea of Thieves will probably hit at some point.
I don't have rimworld yet but i can recomend oxygen not included. (note that i have played mostly during early access so some of my opinion might be wrong now.)
I enjoyed oxygen not included for several reasons, that said i want to start by saying the game is really easy to understand. most concepts work the way you expect them to. I really enjoy this because it is very easy to start up the game, the first few days of the colony will be "easy" as you will be building the expected stuff (rooms to sleep in, producing power and oxygen,etc.). while the start is super easy the game gradually becomes deeper (and harder). You start by carving out everything around you then you start building a base and lastly you begin to research ways to make your base safer/ more efficient. The challenge comes from managing your people and the resources. For example you will need to produce oxygen which there are several ways to; you can use algae, organic matter + power or hydrolyze water.
The best part its that the base feels very "organic" in the way you expand. The animations from the replicants make them very expressive and fun to watch.
Alongside the great gameplay the game has been getting updates very often so take that into consideration as well.
Positives aside here are what bothered me:
- lack of a useful tutorial (which leads to frustration when something doesn't work; google is excellent here)
- the UI is extremely "confusing" to me (special the rooms and how the objects are organized)
- the game is rather difficult (after 20 hours or so is till haven't managed to get a self-suficient colony; and to my knowledge there aren't difficulty modes)

According to a Valve employee on Twitter, it had 8 level designers. Crazy.
I think the difference is just that say, Ubisoft, would have cranked something of this scale out in a year instead of 4-5.
Probably more that it was on gamepass.
i hope they go back and put them all on Steam/PC.
Thanks for the info ! I think I'm going to buy it. My biggest concern is the difficulty but good to know that the game starts of easy instead of punishing you from the get go.
Are they Steam keys? The ones on Steam at least?greenman has their black friday sale going. the games with +5 on them give you an intel starter pack

Got left alive for some reason, I had some kind of morbid curiosity about the game and got it cheap so was like why not. and after playing a few hours it's just as horrible as you would imagine.
$13.50 for FarCry 5 is pretty good. Don't think I've seen it lower.greenman has their black friday sale going. the games with +5 on them give you an intel starter pack

star trek bridge crew
and killing floor were steam keys.
neverwinter and rock band vr and ipip wouldn't be
don't know about the other two.
I was tempted to get far cry but forger is more my jam so I got that instead so I could get the VR games of interest from that list lol
Because I heard from everyone it's a very poorly made game that currently still costs 80 CAD full price.
Also, though I'm sure the Japanese devs aren't particularly aware of the situation, the game's fiction universe is perpetuating geopolitical stereotypes about my country of origin (Ukraine) that are out-dated and describing a vision of the future that my relatives recently risked their lives to prevent becoming a reality.
Looks like very few games have that +5,unlike last time.greenman has their black friday sale going. the games with +5 on them give you an intel starter pack

Waiting 12 years for another Half Life game and it being VR only is super fucking disappointing.
VR is expensive as fuck, gives me headaches and I don't have the space for it. It's a trifecta of shit.
