That’s an extremely poor choice of sponsorship for that particular video, made me laugh quite a bit

Not sure if a Chinese company is the answer. Also they seem to be less interested in being a Quest competitor going forward and didn’t even fulfill their single promised exclusive title. There’s a decent amount of games though and it’s not Meta, so that much is true.

It seems much better now, thank you :) Is it still on 0.19 or did it get reverted back to 0.18?

I‘m already using voyager. I’m pretty sure it’s not the app that’s slow, but the Lemmy server. Doesn’t matter which app you’re using.

Probably was too soon to upgrade then, compared to Lemmy.world, which is still on 0.18, it’s day and night.

I think you got the target audience wrong, this isn’t a PC gaming headset. It doesn’t even have or support VR controllers.

This is more of an iPad replacement, second screen, productivity and consumption device. And it’s going to be the first one that actually has a big library of regular apps from the very start. Arguably the bigger market, not just for gamers.

It’s expensive (and too expensive for me), but if you put it next to a MacBook Pro with a few upgrades it’s the same price and those get bought without thinking about it.

To become more mainstream it definitely has to be cheaper, but there’s something bothering me about how all the other prices are acceptable.

MacBooks are more of a working device and the upgrades are optional, the starting price is cheaper, I know. Still, these price points aren’t unheard of for Apple.

 

Loading my own profile in both apps and on lemm.ee has been painfully slow since the 0.19 update, is anyone having a similar issue?

That bug has been there since the release of custom icons and it’s never been fixed by Apple. Every app has that issue, it’s annoying.

I was speaking in a general sense, but I’m glad you figured it all out.

I don’t see how a purely magnetic watch band attachment could work for a watch, but I guess we’ll see. Would definitely be a shame to loose band compatibility.

Individuals involved in developing new Apple Watch models told Gurman that the existing band system takes up a large amount of space that could be better utilized for bigger batteries or other internal components. As such, Apple is apparently considering a magnetic band attachment system, but it is currently unclear if this specific method will be present on the ‌‌Apple Watch X‌ or if the company will choose something else‌.

Iron rebellion is definitely a game to keep an eye on. It’s still in early access, but getting closer to release and sitting in that cockpit feels amazing. Hopefully it won’t be too long until it shows up on the main store. It’s already by far the best VR mech game currently out there.

The company announced on Monday that it is beginning to switch its user accounts to ActivityPub, which means that everyone curating stuff on Flipboard is now doing so in a way that apps like Mastodon can see and interact with.

 

Spectral Games will release a VR version of the PC game Medieval Dynasty New Settlement for Meta Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest Pro in spring 2024. The VR version will include a new story and map. You will be able to build, cook, hunt, and farm in a medieval landscape. According to the developers, there will be two modes: a story mode, which will introduce all the game mechanics in a narrative form, and a sandbox mode, in which all the features will be available to you right from the start.
