  • The brand can be a great identifier. If the response is “Apple”, I can’t help you. If the response is “HP” or “Dell” or “Walmart”, I know the issue is likely because of proprietary garbage that’s locked down “for the safety of the user”.

    When speaking to the computer illiterate, the brand question will usually be answered with either “Apple” or “Windows”. You gotta get that answer out of the way so you don’t waste 15 minutes trying to get someone to right-click something only to find out they only have 1 mouse button.



  • If you haven’t tried No Man’s Sky in VR, you’re really missing out. I have about 800 hours in it (90% in VR) and still go back to it day 1 if a new Expedition.

    Walkabout Mini golf is a must-have.

    Myst and Riven are fantastic in VR.

    Star Wars Squadrons, Project Wingman, MS Flight Simulator… Pretty much any flying game with a HOTAS setup is great in VR.

    Same can be said for racing games with a wheel setup.

    Alyx is truly fabulous, but there are plenty of other great VR experiences to be had.

    And that’s not even including what’s available with the VR injection mods. Cyberpunk in VR is pretty awesome, even with the jank that comes with playing a pancake game in VR.

    Plane on a treadmill always seems so obvious to me. Planes don’t have power connected to their wheels. Put a plane on a dynamometer and crank the engine up as fast as it will go, and the wheels will still not spin. At the same time, water planes use pontoons and are still able to take off just fine.

    The question I have is, can a plane take off with a tailwind that matches the speed that the propeller is pushing out.
