My Main annoyances are:
-having to mount base stations & them being fragile
-being afraid its still too buggy
-wanting more portable ("base-less") VR
-not having VR

Jokes aside do VR users think 3060Ti is good enough for VR?

Quoting: Mountain ManWhenever I hear people talk about "game preservation", it always sounds suspiciously like, "I want free games."

Once you grow up and want to return to your childhood games but you no longer have a CD drive, or your disc has stopped working right & u got no way to buy digital ver. you got no choice but to use backups from piracy groups who figured out how to play the game without the need of a disc. Other than the company no longer getting money from purchases if you buy 2nd hand, they also don't really care about said product if they cant spend few days fixing it up for new PCs and releasing it on digital stores again.

There are also online-only games, games sold as a product that rely on company-owned central server that can go out at any time leaving you with bricked game and wasted money, in such cases you'd wish piracy groups could save you but the chance of that happening is sadly (and understandably) very rare.

So it's a bit more than "I want free games", the pirated version would feel inferior (no MP, achievements and pretty much everything Steam gives you, for example) to the customer so they'd buy the real game at some point, the legit ver is too bad due to DRM or MTX, or said customer wouldn't buy it whether or not there's pirated version available.

It is EXACTLY THE SAME when it comes to console emulation. PS1 and PS2 are my fav console and I got A LOT of games for them, I no longer want to play on said consoles due to how old they are and would rather play ISOs on emulators, same case with Yuzu/Suyu, I got a sw but I also got a Deck, why would I keep both around when I can play sw on my Deck with a better controller and even keep the sw due to memories. Yes emulation will be also used for piracy, but so are torrents and ISO files which are both great tech that's been often useful to me for many reasons (backing up discs, downloading distros and large files, etc...)

Nintendo themselves use emulators, you bet it's not something they've made themselves, i forgot the exact details but they either using FOS emulator or temporarily hired emu dev to port it.

PS: and it's not like I don't miss those consoles, for me emulation still can't replace my PS1,2 and SW, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. playing the 3 NES games Nintendo offer on their NSO subscription also feels far away from the real deal.

It was me. I got addicted to Derail Valley and prefer to play it on PC.

The only good news is this might get the ball rolling for more Sims-like games, preferably by indie devs

First time hearing of a graphics chip that can do Vulkan but not OpenGL.

Reminds me of one 2003 XP laptop I had which couldn't do OpenGL on Win7 yet DirectX games ran fine with it, but that was a driver issue

Quoting: TeqSteamVR linux fixes, Steam Deck maturing, proton 9 nearly ready to go...

I'm going to hope for a Deckard release announcement soon.

I REALLY hope Deckard is a real project that'll release, having a small cramped room this might be my best chance to experience VR again, finally
There's so many games I want to try out

Quoting: basedIts the company that made me hate zombie games, and I still don't want ANYTHING zombies anymore. Dead Island 1 and Dying Light were a suffer to go through with bad gameplay design and glitches.

I don't generally enjoy Zombie games, but I thought Dying Light was well worth finishing. And "The Following" DLC was even better than the base game. I don't remember having any major problems with the native Linux release either.

The Following improved it a bit but I played it just so I can say I beat it at that point. DL has garbage controls - 1 gamepad button doing like 5 combat moves, one example is I either lost jumping over zombies or the jump kick attack early in the game because of this, had digferent issues too but was months ago. I remember shoving zombies didnt always work as well so that was a bust...

Dead Island has instakill zombies due to a bug, and glitched quests respawning you far from your objective and getting you stuck in "respawn cause u got too far away" loop
