I spent $3500, which I did not have at the time, to buy the vision pro. I really suffered trying to make up for spending so much money that I do not have. However, I knew it was a dumbass decision. But I still sent it because I know everything works out in the end. If I could go back in time, id buy it again. Between entertainment and my work flow I love using it. Though I primarily use it for work. As someone with severe and violent adhd it helps me stay focused very well
You are literally the only person I’ve ever heard of who uses the vision pro after the first week
if that was true then you should he able to buy a used one for dirt cheap.
The people who wasted their money on it are all rich and don’t want to take a write down because of sunk cost. Demand is so weak they are already discontinued

These are from five months ago lol the thing is a flop. VR is stupid. You couldn’t pay me to strap some shit to my face like that.
I have a Meta Quest 3 that i use every single day. I bought it specifically so I could use AceXR, which is a “game” that’s a dry fire practice simulator. It’s significantly improved my shooting ability, since I now get feedback, and I’ve saved tens of thousands in ammunition prices versus going to a shooting range every single day. No, it’s not perfect–there’s no recoil control in dry fire simulation–but it’s very, very good for what it is.
People saying that VR is stupid sound a lot like people that didn’t see any reason to switch to LED from CRT.
VR is stupid because you are strapping something to your face and isolating yourself from the real world and offers no where near as much functionality as LED. It is a niche product and will never be a mass market item. This is why Apple stopped producing them within months of releasing them. This is why most people do not own one now and are not planning on buying one ever. Have fun with your loser strap on lol
Bidet hands down no question. The world is missing out.
I’ve had the same experience. I splurged a bit and got one with all the bells and whistles (warm water, heated seat, etc.). It’s such a shockingly significant improvement to something I do daily. Couldn’t imagine going without it now. I can’t believe they’re not more common.
Yup. I’m going to get the full warm water, bells and whistles version.
I am not a user, but I am bidet-curious. I can’t see how a gentle spray of water can clean poop from my hairy ass cheeks. Unless it’s like a pressure washer. Which I also don’t want.
Or is it just a starter and you finish with paper?
Even a minimally featured bidet will at least soften things up and make wiping more effective.
I used a tushy bidet to start, which is pretty cheap and easy to get going and get comfortable with it. I would recommend the warm water options, but you need to have a sink nearby to steal the warm water from. Fancier warm water bidets have an instant water heater, so you don’t need a hot water tap, just power.
I have since upgraded to one with all the features, and here’s how my process typically goes:
- Sit down on heated seat
- Push out what I can
- Using the remote, turn on low pressure heated water with pulsating mode. I can also move the spray back/forth with the remote to get everything.
- Switch to high pressure for a moment. That has enough pressure to get up in there a bit, which seems to lubricate/soften any parts that didn’t come out through sheer effort earlier.
- Pause, push out one more time
- Go back to low pressure to tidy up
- Turn on blow dryer for a bit, or dry off with TP if I’m in a hurry.
Koss PortaPro headset. Always wanted one as a kid, saw them again and bought them.
For me it’s the Superlux HD681. Audiophile-quality sound for $25.
The deep bass, neutral mids, and near-perfect imaging and sound staging makes them ideal for games, movies, and music. It has an excellent pinna-related transfer function, so everything sounds like it’s coming from in front of you and all around, rather than inside your head. Like being surrounded by speakers. In games you can pinpoint sounds with millimeter precision. And since they’re so cheap, they don’t have to be babied; when they break you just buy another pair and go about your day.
No joke, I’ve bought and returned $500 planar magnetic headphones that weren’t as good as these. The only issue with them is that the highs can be a bit siblant, leading to harshness, but that can easily be EQed out or permanently fixed with a mod.
Seriously, just go buy a pair. I mean everyone reading this, even if you’re not an enthusiast. They’re so cheap, it’s all but impossible to regret it.
Where are you finding these for $25? Cheapest I’m seeing is $40 (though still pretty cheap tbf)
And yeah even at $40 they’re still a good deal. They have about a $10 build quality, though. However the $500+ sound quality more than makes up for it.
By the way, I forgot to mention that you should also get the velour ear pads mentioned in the modding guide I linked to earlier. The stock ones are too thin and as such they can cause ear pain. The velour also helps with bass response.
I’m not too bothered about build quality since I’m only looking to use them at home anyway.
Good tip cheers, will grab a pair of those too then
