Thanks guys, enjoyed the podcast. I've set a calendar alarm to see who is right about proton and how good or bad it will be for us in the future :)

At the moment I am in the optimistic corner with Liam.

Keep them coming!

Quoting: OrkultusI was able to pick up a HTC vive, with everything ready to play for $150 on ebay. Some gaming / vr place was upgrading and selling old headsets.

That's how I started; then added the index headset.... then the index controllers.... and just for completeness the index base stations, but that was only so I could pass on the original kit to my daughter as they where not really required.

The older htc base stations are much quieter than the index base stations that emit a slightly annoying whine.

Have a great time!

I have been playing HL:Alyx with the campaign + mod, which I can't recommend enough. You do have to use Proton though to make it work.

We have started decorating now so the little space I have for VR is now packed with furniture

So have picked up Metro Exodus again, looks like I'm going to get the 'bad ending' again this time.

Given the old story that pc's need to have linux installed at point of sale for linux to grow, I would love to see valve have another go at steam machines.

If they could achieve a successful launch and enter a new console into the market, that *hopefully* would encourage games studios to directly target steam machines and linux natively.

Have been trying to beat counter strike : condition zero on expert, and failing. Stuck on The Chateau level.

So instead I have been enjoying the excellent portal mod : Portal Reloaded - Which I only recently found out about on my favorite site :)

And another +1 for Valheim, I have yet to defeat The Elder - second boss. *thinks* must make more fire arrows. Also been having a go at the GCHQ puzzle to celebrate Alan Turing.

I will probably have a better chance of finishing Valheim though

Got to support linux devs. Downloading now...

Used to enjoy spending many hours in 'The Long Dark', surviving, exploring and simply enjoying the landscape.

It was a good job I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read this. :)

I really did laugh out loud.
