  • Beatsaber and VRchat are like the two things that I most often go to VR for. Occasionally I’ll do something else like some kind of gun game like Alyx or H3VR or whatever.

    What I’m looking forward to most though is all of the VR mods for pancake games that have been coming out. I have an index but its been rather cumbersome as of late to play it, and I want to do something that is more independent.


  • Valve can say that its supposed to be a streaming device til they’re blue in the face, and that is definitely a major selling feature for me, but what they made is a Quest competitor, and one that doesnt send excruciating details of my wife, children, pets, and home back to headquarters. It also runs Linux! You can replace that with whatever you want with the knowhow!

    I will be using the frame at work in the breakroom, in the woods, and I even read someone mentioning they use theirs for like YouTube while washing dishes and stuff.

    Up until now, the quest “didn’t exist” for me, so this is going to be a standalone-first device for me with a pinch of desktop streaming.









  • Do you think it runs at 1000w continuously? On any decent GPU, the responses are nearly instantaneous to maybe a few seconds of runtime at maybe max GPU consumption.

    Compare that to playing a few hours of cyberpunk 2077 with raytracing and maxed out settings at 4k.

    Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to hate about AI/LLMs, but running one locally without data harvesting engines is pretty minimal. The creation of the larger models is where the consumption primarily comes in, and then the data centers that run them are servicing millions of inquiries a minute making the concentration of consumption at a single point significantly higher (plus they retrain the model there on current and user-fed data, including prompts, whereas your computer hosting ollama would not.)
