    So do you think Beastmaster follows the reborn or the evolved job philosophy or do you think it is its own thing? (self.ffxivdiscussion) [General Discussion]

Ah right, it was tickling the back of my brain that ships drop out of nearlight on occasion for mental health of the crew, let them reconnect more conveniently with loved ones and the larger galaxy, the exact reasoning had escaped me

DJShazbot

Too bad the store is now "on vacation" I was hoping to get one NOW lol

DJShazbot

Got a lot of vids pushing arrtx color markers. Come in a lot of different colors and the vid reviews for them are generally good, recommend dspiae, especially for their metallica

DJShazbot

Could you possibly educate me on the differences of the gladiator and the gunfighter sticks?

DJShazbot

Ok, sounds like for 8 it will require a third party button assignment then, currently 8 lacks rigorous stick support and the 52 and 56 work out of box while showing xbox inputs out of sheer luck

DJShazbot

My money is that evercold is gonna be a clownshow for balance and fun. The preserving of the reborn style jobs will be there for metrics like "evolved is worse than reborn for dps for monk" or "more than 70% play reborn reaper over evolved" and use it to troubleshoot.....or that is how I hope it will go, best case scenario

DJShazbot

Very interesting how you can hook up the 52's throttle, would you by any chance have you tried this stick for ace combat 8? The 52 and 56 seemingly work out of the box without the need for thirdparty input editors.

DJShazbot

I use the x52 saitek no problem (exception for some buttons like landing gear down)

DJShazbot

I was there for XI, the whole wheel is a simplified version of skill chain bursts.

If I were to go against my own advice of "don't think about it" I would guess that paracausality has something to do with subjectivity, given how much Lancer loves to talk about it.

You subjectively break for 10 minutes which by any stretch of reality would be 4 months for the non lightspeed person on the otherside, but the moment you return to your computer and huck a message at them it appears "10 minutes later" from the non lightspeed side.

Any inconsistency of static timelines is chucked up to jearimy bearimy paracausal bullshit. Of course this would only hold for a 2 point communication in a vacuum and not in a multiple observer net of say a forum or discord server.

One could argue that perhaps the omninet has a single timeline untethered from relativity and so all actions in the net have an absolute in that position that the paracasuality bullshit just knows how to sort properly in a way we can experience it in a way we comprehend. Does it make sense that I played a 10 minute COD match against little timmy at alpha centauri when actually he played 3 weeks ago? No, of course not how is he playing with someone from the future? But also, the freaking Lich was sent as an email attachment from the future in a bootstrap paradox.

Until there is a supplement that pins down anything that can contravene "it just works" eg: Union military receives a logistics ping from a lancer detachment only to respond to it finding out the message was made 100s of years ago or like 20 years to early, we just have to accept that the omninet has some form of "NOW" (which is also a concept which scientists in real life believe to be a construct) that it knows how to present and process for us silly 3 dimensional beings

DJShazbot

I thought the whole point of the omninet is that it is paracausal bullshit that facilitates instant information transfer regardless of general relativity time dilation issues. Aka don't think about it, it just works, you can be drifting at 0.99c but while perceiving the omninet you are still capable of having an IM chat bouncing messages back and forth as if they were in the same country as you

Correct me if wrong, (really, please do)

DJShazbot

X52 saitek works out of box but no true keybinding, may have to wait for a mod or turn it knto a virtual controller

DJShazbot

Yeah unfortunately despite being an international city this place has no show room area for vr for me to try

DJShazbot

How do you compare it to the psvr2? I mainly want it for gaming as you can see and it seems cheaper with better visual quality, only downside is the fact it can't go wireless

DJShazbot

hehehe, felt great to blow up everything after that.

Also, I keep seeing this all "YOU POST ANY SPOILERS OF ACE COMBAT 8 YOU WILL BE BANNED" for when I want to make a new submission, is that just not a thing anymore?

DJShazbot

How would compare this to PSVR2 and its controller tracking? The OLED screens seem very appealing but the wired nature of PSVR2 seems like a negative

DJShazbot

Alright, that is much cheaper than the quest 3 overall, that may be a good option then. I had entirely discounted it due to the wiki. I'll have to weigh this against Quest 3 though.

which do you think has better tracking? seems like both require some infront of headset LOS

DJShazbot

Sorry to necromance a post, but can you explain to me what you use the quest 3 for if not for gaming? I am currently making the same comparison

DJShazbot

Ah the wiki on the reddit says:

"Lack of Full PC Connectivity: Does not support full connectivity with PCs, which restricts its versatility compared to other VR platforms."

is this old information? I do see youtube tutorials for connecting PSVR to PC and there is an official adapter.

DJShazbot

So I've heard that Meta had been pretty aggressive with the VR headset being part of the Meta/facebook ecosystem back when they were first releasing them, does it require "jailbreaking" to use for PCVR freely? I see that steam games are via steamlink, what I want to do nonsteam games

Do the controllers allow for the finger tracking that the Valve Index does for Half Life Alyx?

Also, is that 100 dollar cable to hook up to the PC included in the package purchase? starts to balloon the budget

DJShazbot

Love this idea because I remember all the times as a kid when I am asking "why are they fighting as normal people, become rangers!" Makes sense of transforming risks blowing up the immediate vicinity

DJShazbot

Same direction as the roll?
