Yours is not an isolated experience. The games I've played which felt like full VR games were Superhot, Asseto Corsa, Chronos, and Elite Dangerous. Hopefully one day you'll be able to connect a PSVR to a PC or those games are port

I love mine, especially when I'm out in the bush where it'll survive ten days on ultra battery saver mode thingy. On the other hand, I have to admit that mine does get uncomfortably hot at times. If they could replace the Snapdrag

It's probably worth giving some qualifiers on the grandparent comment. In short, the depressed population is bimodal with close to 2/3rds not responding to SSRIs and similar treatments satisfactorily and 1/3rd of people respo

In particular, the Black Diamond cams have a double axis which increases the camming range. It's a beautiful piece of gear.

Anyone who is consistent won't believe anything different just because it applies to them. If I think my country is overburdening its natural resources and is overpopulated (and I do) then of course I'll understand that I'm p

It's supposed to be achievable precisely because the shuttle was such a dumb/difficult/unwieldy concept no matter how it was implemented. SpaceX and Boeing get to have abort capability all the way to orbit and inherently simp

It got leaked at one point. If I remember correctly, the use of biotics and eezo was supposed to be destructive to space/stars/reality in general and continued use would eventually lead to the end of the galaxy and all life whethe

I visited New Zealand recently and was told that the reason Diesel was so much cheaper than unleaded was because it didn't have the road tax built into it so agricultural vehicles wouldn't have to pay for road they weren't us

While it's technically true I've always hated this argument. Yes, smokers are without doubt cheaper for the healthcare system because they die earlier and faster. It's completely missing the point though, because the entire r

I certainly think the concerns were misplaced, but wasn't the Phillip Morris case dismissed because they were found to have a lack of standing, having reincorporated in Hong Kong specifically to make use of the ISDS provision? While I

It didn't take too long for people to work out that smaller, finer motions were what worked best for the Wii. One to one tracking in VR means that there's no faking motion and while I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a

That's only an issue if you don't account for uncertainty in your polling data. If you ever read their articles or listened to the model talk podcast you'd know that a huge amount of effort was put into trying to quantify the

It's an over-reach of me to say that they discovered it. This talk gives a good outline of SRP. https://youtu.be/GQueObsIRfI?t=983

Well, despite what you think landing the rocket was a breakthrough. Sure it involved the application of standard techniques in the industry but a combination so executed becomes more than the sum of its parts. If you want something where Sp

There's a large difference between the Nature news website which is on the better side of average, but still average, science journalism and the journal which is a far larger and more complex behemoth.

A large part of the reason I took the job I'm currently working at is the slightly shorter work hours combined with flexible work hours means that I can put in a bit less than two hours extra for four days and take the fifth one off. D
