Mostly here to kill time. Big fan of open source game engine recreations/source ports, firmware modding, Linux, and gaming in general.

  • Due it being like this since I got it, an intermittent issue, and a common issue online I don’t think it is the unit. Killing Oculus’ software and restarting it would occasionally get it to work so I feel like it might be that. I spent sometime reading Oculus Support threads and others shared my suspicions.

    My only other thought would have been my motherboard or power supply. My CPU, GPU, and RAM should be enough.







  • If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Chances are it’s probably a duck.


    That said they may be taking it as a sign of the other person’s larger ideology. For example if they have a strong anti immigration stance they might come to the conclusion that the person is racist.

    There’s sometimes the mentality if you give this person an inch they’ll run with it so they may say it to stop things from derailing

    There’s also a ton of dog whistles the alt right use. Remember when the milk emoji was used on Twitter? What about the okay sign? Hawaiian shirts?


  • I think Wikis themselves are more useful than ever but I don’t know how well a political Wiki would go over. I could see it being very easy to get accused of being biased in one direction.

    You may want to do some digging and see if something similar exists though I doubt a lot of websites would be open to outside submissions.


    If you do decide to create one I would be interested to see a historical background section. For example if a page is dedicated to improving failing infrastructure in the United States including when and why it was developed, prior large pushes for maintenance, and the history of funding.

    I feel like knowing how things go the way that they are should be a bigger part of people’s political views. That is unrelated to your question though; just an idea.

    Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.

    Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.
