VR still lives for gaming! Steam VR offers some great experiences, with mods taking that further, and the upcoming Steam Frame headset (if AI doesn’t steal every component in existence). Don’t expect growth for daily digital tasks (Apple VR and the like tried and failed), but the niche has been carved out for gamers!
Civilization or a Civ clone could be good!
There’s lot of good rom hacks to try (especially for Pomemon!) :) you might enjoy this one; it’s Pokemon Red, except all Pokemon are replaced by DBZ characters with all the ludicrousness that comes with that! Pokemon DBZ Team Training - https://www.pokemoncoders.com/dragon-ball-z-team-training/
This! And the fcking idiots who used their votes to throw a temper tantrum about Harris/Walz’s stance on Gaza are in a high likelihood of having violence enacted against them in the states or flat-out getting deported. Like they were always high on the target list, do they not remember Trump’s muslim ban? Again, stupid fking idiots who slit their own throats in protest so they could get the shoes of the people they’re angry at messy. What they’ve done is ineffective, beyond short-sighted, and self-harming. Guess we get to see if Israel decides to rip down Al-Aqsa, replace it with a Third Temple now. Wouldn’t put it past them.
“Hey there, Jeff” (0.0) that bit had me stuck for a month until I decided to push through it!
No problem! :) If you do opt to try making something yourself I’m sure the folks here at Lemmy would be more than happy to check it out and give you some feedback!
Maybe it’s time you made your own project (if you’re up to it) :) time to serve that quality bisque in a bowl deserving of it lol besides, things will never change if we stay the route with Jack Welch-esque CEOs running the show; we need more indie devs, more small businesses, people who want to make something great because they’re passionate, or even just folks who want a sustainable future without strangling ourselves with the noose of “line must go up” mentality.
But also that’s a metric ton of work, and owning a project like that is certainly a risk to take!
One hundred percent this! While what’s happening in Gaza is beyond deplorable, voting third party only serves to shoot these folks in the foot. Not only would Trump promote actual pogroms to kill off the Gazan population en masse (even worse than the current level of violence), but they’ll find themselves the first up against the wall along with LGBTQ+ folks at home if Project 2025 is allowed to proceed.
You could call it shooting oneself in the foot or cutting off their nose to spite their face, but it’s more like voluntarily slitting their own throat and smiling about it because at least they made the floor messy for everyone in the process.
Rightfully worried IMO
Agreed! Giving up is giving in to oligarchs who have profited relentlessly off of our suffering and the defiling of our home. Stand up! It’s better to die on your feet fighting than on your knees, groveling to the rich while they pickpocket your dying corpse.
Climate apocalypse is here for us all. Wanton apathy and inaction leads only to guaranteed failure!
You need to use better sources. I see a number of untrustworthy sites here, and just a Reddit post (entirely unreliable source). Also seeing a lot of straw man arguments in what you’re saying.
Try to have some nuance; the world isn’t divided into two clean sides, and multiple parties can have hostile stances towards each other at the same time. That does not mean “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” if that enemy of your enemy is also attacking you. For example, the US killed ISIS-K’s leader back in 2015; not a friendly maneuver. (Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN10N21L/ )
Now, Russia has actually done a lot to earn this terror group’s ire; we have the history of the Tzar’s trying to conquer Afghanistan, the Soviet Afghan War that took 10 years in the 1980’s and was Russia’s Vietnam with a massive civilian death-toll and the destruction of vast amounts of infrastructure, the wars and oppression in Chechnya, the heavy support with Russian boots on the ground for Assad in the Syrian Civil War against the civilian rebels, the ongoing extreme violence and repression of Muslims by Prighozin’s Africa Corps, and the now the forced mobilization of Russia’s ethnic minorities (many who are Muslims from Central Asia) to fight in their morally bankrupt genocide against Ukraine. China has plenty of pressure points with ISIS-K too; chiefly the ongoing Uighur genocide, hence the attacks against Chinese officials in Afghanistan.
Turns out if you do decades of terrorism against a people they might do it to you, regardless of if your country is considered “East” or “West”.
Ah yes, the people who have explicitly called the US their enemies are actually TOTALLY SECRET agents lolol jeez, talk about a baseless claim! Looks like we found our Russian/Chinese/Iranian troll in the comments doing their best to spin this as: USA bad, must be USA’s fault, west=evil.
Lmao you’ll have to try harder than that, friend.
Deck is superior to Switch! And obligatory F—- Nintendo, and their 1990’s mindset with games and hardware. I’m convinced they’ll have to financially fail to start caring. Even a 30% reduction in their sales and player counts should quickly seize their attention.
At this point 2024 is looking like the Year Of Nintendo’s Failures starting off with Palworld. They certainly deserve to fail!
The other two are obviously good, but seriously try Captain of Industry! Nothing like watching your mining operations slowly but surely terraform the face of your island lol
And don’t forget you can play the whole thing in VR with the VHVR mod! I’ve played 330+ hours over 3 runs with my friends in VR, beating the Queen while panicking into repeated freefalls into pit (thank you feather cloak) was an insane experience (Yag too TBF; out of our 3 person group everybody died at least once, and several times the lone survivor was stuck doing laps with hordes of Fulings and a few berserkers and shamans in the parade until the others sprinted back from their beds.) Blessings to corpse run lmao

Really enjoying Stranded: Alien Dawn! 3D Rimworld in a nutshell lol that or Songs of Syx!
It’s been won in the ballot box already, as recently as 2020. Each fight repeats (here we are looking at the next round in 2024), but the ballot can be won and the overt fascist candidate prevented from succeeding and rolling out Project 2025. Swing states matter most, but as we’ve seen since 2016 unexpected states can still swing their vote. And I’d much rather we handle it civilly through voting rather than go for the Huey Long fix, like happened in 1935.
Can’t go wrong with an affordable headset with solid resolution :) and agreed, Alyx was an absolute banger!
Might have to try that home theater offering 🎭
Lots of multiplayer VR FPS’s too, pretty fun! Forefront’s been my Battlefield fix, way more fun than BF6 wound up being at a lower price, and I do love VR tank-time lol
TBH though, the best VR experiences I’ve had have been survival crafting games :) loads of fun and super immersive, especially as you build up your base and get to actually be inside of it, then run out for some fighting and looting lol but it really shines in multiplayer, and for whatever godforsaken reason all the devs that do wind up making survival crafting VR games leave ‘em as single-player :/ at the moment best multiplayer survival crafting games for VR are mods for Valheim and 7 Days To Die - wish we could get some similar experiences that are actually built for VR! Feels like that’s been a drought since The Forest did their VR mode
