Virtual Reality

I had no idea Elders Ring had a VR mod

I don’t know Elder’s Ring but the name doesn’t suggest something I’d want to experience in VR.

It wasn't banned, a takedown was issued because the creator of the mod was charging money for it.

I have a few spicy things bookmarked

As a follower of VR and its culture since reading cyberpunk books in the early 90s, the adult applications of VR are a part of the picture. In particular I was keen to check that stuff out, because there's the perception in tech that porn gets to everything first; first to really embrace videotape, fast to make use of the internet, quick to push for technologies to allow people to pay for stuff online with credit cards, eager to work with streaming video to make adult content more accessible... They say this is because the porn industry has no shame; like they have no reputation to defend so they'll try anything. So you can learn a lot by what they do and don't do.

But from that limited look into the adult content, I don't think that's gonna take off in its present form. The whole thing is so... Awkward. I think it needs to be very different. But there's a lot of research going into two areas; AI and virtual erotic experiences, which in theory would make them fully interactive (not just wraparound videos) and I honestly think, while it's still some way off, someone in that area is going to make a breakthrough eventually and get very rich, very fast.

Paying taxes, being constantly tired, having a sore back.

Paying taxes, being constantly tired, having a sore back.

Obviously I meant the sort involving people without any clothes on. Sometimes specific clothes. I mean, we might've been talking about the same thing; I'm not sure if "Tax Office Clerk" is a tag or not

[Neon Ignition]

I suppose for that industry it depends if the Tax Office Clerk also happens to be your step-sister

[Neon Ignition]

I'm definitely going to try out RDR2 in VR, despite not planning on revisiting it for Nth time GTAV VR is a likely target too.

Perhaps the most likely though will be Cyberpunk 2077 now that the expansion is also out.

that's not deductible step-bro

Powerwash Simulator VR lands on Quest devices on 02 November 2023

[MartyG]

I really hope there's an update for the PC version.

[Lebowski]

Tshhhhhhhhhh

The white noise of the power washer in VR could be dangerous, its super easy to zone out while playing this game into a zen like state where you forget where you are.

Quest has its first killer app

The mixed reality mode for Broken Edge looks fantastic.

I've booked next Wednesday off, and am working from home on Tuesday to make sure I get the parcel from Amazon.

Really excited! I haven't been this excited for, what I guess is effectively a console launch, since maybe the PSP.
