Ultimately how good a game looks is due a lot more to how much effort and how clever the artists were than it is due to the graphics technologies used.

I just started playing the new Indiana Jones game, which runs fine with RTX off but some scenes look much better with RTX on, but then the game runs very poorly. In both cases the game seems to be optimized for individual frames over how the actual animation looks - there are cases where the shadows blink between different results, where any result would look ok in a screenshot but as an animation it looks awful. Also despite all the fancy graphics features, most of the world and especially the people just look kinda plasticy.

Meanwhile take some games like Destiny 2 and Helldivers 2, which use “outdated” graphics techniques and yet both look and run great.

They have some really small ones that only require like 1GB of VRAM, but you’ll generally get better results if you pick the biggest model that fits on your GPU.

I meant the productivity suite not just file sharing. I edited my comment to try to make it clearer.

2 although 6 is also pretty good from my experience.

There really is no competitor to Google Drive’s online collaborative document and slideshow editing right now. Apple and Microsoft have made some weak attempts but until their software works fully in a browser and is 100% free to get started, it won’t catch on. It not just about email.

His first term also started with restrictions on legal immigrants. But it’s much, much, much worse this time around.

A practical solution but kinda defeats the point of a burger being something you should be able to eat with just your hands and also a fancy burger with lots of ingredients is something where you want to taste all the ingredients mixing together.

And also the “finally cracked and is now insane” version.

Here’s a list of VR games I’d 1000% recommend:

• Half Life: Alyx
• I Expect you to Die (James Bond themed virtual escape rooms - 3 games in the series so far, all of them are good)
• Super Hot (slo-motion first person combat puzzle game)
• Beat Saber (a unique rhythm game)
• Pavlov (CS:GO but in VR with extensive modding support)

There are other good ones out there but that’s the list that justifies the headset to me.

Also there are some good VR ports of non-VR games out there such as Myst and The Talos Principle. Also there are some good Minecraft mods that add VR support (Java edition of course). Stay away from the Skyrim port though.

Ah good to know! I think I avoided picking it up before because I thought it required the New 3DS. I’ll look for it at my local game store next time I visit.

Wasn’t the remake of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga New 3DS exclusive?
