Video games and other things to pass the time!

There are a lot of things to pass the time but I think that the best way is to pass it without video games. Anyway, I like to play video games as well and I am keened on FPS shooters and MMORPGs, this are the games that takes a lot of time from your life because these are addictive like nha cai w88. The best thing to do, is to go outside and play football, or to met up with friends and play any interesting table games like monopoly, rummy plus, uno and many others. This thing will make you to socialise more and you will create yourself as a personality faster than you could do if before.

I have a few myself, my GP-5 is my favorite. I think I paid $5 for mine and bought some extra filters to go along with it and my 2nd generation GP-4. There's an ebay seller out of Lithuania who can have pretty great prices if you catch him on the right day.

I don't really have free time, but when I do, I play video games, and of my faves at the moment is Diablo 2


Oh yeah.. another game I need to reload since I transitioned from win7 to win 10. I also replay the starcraft and mech warrior series once a year or so. Currently the two main games I play are SWTOR and now Cyberpunk 2017 since the release.

I have nothing but free time to fill and its actually harder then people think. I would gladly go back to a working world with a schedule and time stability. Be happy you ARE so busy hehe. Oh and welcome to the forums.

I was having a chat with @PsyBorg and @cranialrectosis in PM about the video games we've been playing, so I thought I'd resurrect this thread and sort of describe my latest pandemic driven renewed interest in PC gaming. Mostly with the release of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, and their announcement that it would be updated to support VR in January 2021, I decided to embark on a VR journey. Up to now, my only exposure to VR was with those Google cardboard VR goggles I picked up at trade shows / vendor give-aways. I enjoyed a few youtube 3D videos, and such, but figured wow, with MSFS and VR, I might actually get a better idea of what it's like to sit in the pilot seat of various planes without having to pay for flight lessons, fuel, access to planes, etc!

I had a bit of a budget, and it had to work with the three year old desktop computer I built based on on an Intel i7/7700K CPU, and Nvidia 1080ti video card. It was pretty swell at the time, but a little long in tooth now. I wasn't ready to spend a ton on goggles, since I wasn't sure if I would even like VR, so I went with the cheapest that seemed like it would work. I went with the Oculus Quest2 64GB model for ~300USD, along with the $50 "Elite" headstrap, and a $80(!) USB C link cable so I could connect it to my computer and mostly use it not as a standalone VR headset, but a tethered one.

Already, this was hitting my budget limit (I didn't want to spend more than one of those new PS5 or XBox SeriesX consoles) without accounting for any software I would need to buy.

It actually took quite a bit more software configuration than I would have expected to get everything working, but it's safe to say I'm glad I went through the effort. As a hedge, I also looked into setting up an inexpensive headtracking system in case I couldn't get my "VR legs" under me so I could fly, etc without getting motion sickness. I setup a headtracking system around a used XBox Kinect and PC USB interface that can be bought off eBay relatively cheaply these days. That took even more software fiddling with OpenTrack, but while flying with that is more comfortable than under a hot VR goggle, it's just not as immersive.

Here are some videos I shared recorded off the goggles -- one nice thing about standalone goggles with 64GB of storage, you can use that to record videos if you don't plan to use it to store software!

Flying a Savage Cub in MSFS around my hometown of Boston:

Splurging on Star Wars Squadron, so I can fulfill my childhood fantasies of being a X-Wing pilot:

I have to say that flying a lot with FPV meant that getting acclimated to VR flying wasn't all that hard. The biggest difference I notice is when I look sideways in a plane at altitude, while banking, I kind of get that stomach dropping sense / feeling of vertigo!

I still get that wobbly feeling when flying sometimes. That is why after all these years I STILL have to sit when I fly FPV. I can stand and do it more now but I still have to lean on something for orientation. Maybe this summer I will work on standing while flying FPV more. Between that and having a sub 250 quad now opens up more places to fly to a certain extent. I will still be limited to as far as the shoe leather express will take me but hey it is still more then I have been doing.

I like that Star Wars Squadrons thing. I think one of my goals for march (the typical snowiest month here) will be to get that old Pod Racer disc to work in Win 10 so I can try and play that using FPV goggles off the display port or at the very least use the cheapie Walmart projector and play on the larger blank wall in my apartment @ 100 inch screen in the dark on late nights for better immersion.

Makes me go Hrmm.. Maybe I should test Cyberpunk under the goggles today for giggles n hahha's now that I have it running decently on my crappy vid card.

Soo I managed to play Cyberpunk today.. didnt find the ambition to set up the goggles though. While running story missions with my new Plague Mistress build I came across this cool bike after killing all the enemies hanging around it and decided to take it for a ride to see if they have better driving bikes.

Here is the result. controls for driving on PC suck when you dont have a game controller. ASWD / space for movement is either on or off.. I may try using my Taranis for driving to see if I can get that to work as win 10 does see it as a usb game controller.
