To be fair theres like 12 of us on Lemmy

I’m hoping third parties have accessories out by the time it drops. I’d rather buy a boboVR kit at half the cost or something

As long as you can reach out in all directions without hitting anything, you can do stationary VR and/or just use in-game locomotion (aka, move with analog stick or teleports.) Stuff like Beat Saber, pistol whip, racing sims, flight sims, any kind of cockpit game is fantastic here.

I started Half Life Alyx in a similar space to yours, just the area behind my desk with my chair pushed in, teleporting for movement (analog movement makes me motion sick, that’s why teleporting is a popular workaround), It was fine and playable, but I found myself wanting to strafe and lean around corners.

So I moved my PC to the living room and had a ~20x11 foot space to play Half Life Alyx in, with my couches stood up on end and pushed the the wall. I ended up walk 20ft > rotate 180 > walk 20ft for almost the entire game and it was amazing. My feet were sore by the end, though. Roomscale just hits different.

My man. I have also been fighting with Windows DPI scaling on a 4k TV, and some games wanting to be 300% larger than my screen. I have to go into compatibility settings and tell those games to ignore Windows scaling. Can this tool manage that too?

I need a script to put that into every goddamn game on steam and another to auto refund any game it doesn’t work with. I’m tired of dragging out the m+kb from the couch

These are literally just features that I used and went out of my way to seek out lmao. I still have my Nexus One and the camera LED is still working. Glad you think my 15 year old memories are encyclopedic though

The CM theme manager alone was leagues better than anything Lineage is doing these days. CM enabled things like 720p recording on Nexus One, before the stock camera. Hacked in multitouch on devices that didn’t properly support it. Features like the camera flashlight we take for granted today. The notification shade quick menus. Hell the majority of the android UI/UX was pioneered on Cyanogenmod, it’s actually insane how much customizability and custom features that were available. Then it got gobbled up by AOSP and/or PixelOS and dumbed down for end users. Remember touchwiz? There’s a reason Cyanogen got picked up by Samsung. Their android builds are actually good now. To the point that I prefer a lot of their UX flows over stock. If you told me that in 2013 I would have laughed in your face.

I daily drove Lineage for 2 years and honestly couldn’t name a single feature it provided me other than root access and failing Google’s play integrity checks + breaking my tap to pay.

Lol, lineage did nothing to stop that

Lineage pales in comparison to what cyanogenmod was

I mean, if someone can’t tell when a circle is an oval, it’s the person that is the problem

using the normal installer

Peer to peer could solve the hosting/bandwidth issue. Just federate the network/index/front end for torrent-based streaming. Impose some ratio requirements for access and it’s infinitely scalable

My uncle got an Xbox 360 specifically because Smallville was coming out on hddvd instead of Bluray. He could never find that hd dvd drive until the format war was over, and I ended up with the 360.

I can’t comprehend why you would have done that at any point in time, really. Surely you can self host automated backups

You must be having a wildly different experience than me then, because I don’t even understand how you can make that claim

That’s the opposite of my experience. Jellyfin just works and immediately exposes the content we’re looking for, plex tries overloading you with bullshit and burying your actual content

Their what now

Lemmy users: no, it’s everyone else who is out of touch

Right… So what was your point again?

This makes no sense. Anything you can build Linux into, you can do the same to android
