  • I’d wait for Valve Frame to come out.

    It’s supposed to be around the price of Index, hopefully less expensive.

    Primarily because of Meta’s track record of breaking their headsets with software updates, it’s also going to be significantly lighter at the front, which is important. And will have eye tracking with foveated streaming.

    For the last month, every time I tried to jump into VR I had a bug that prevented me from using the headset completely, so I’d just choose to play on PC instead.

    I trust Valve to make a much more hastle-free experience than Meta at this point. And be probably switching myself as long as the price in my region allows for it.



  • Terraria at it’s core is about boss progression.

    Here are the mandatory ones in order of completion:

    1. Wall of flesh (<= after beating it is when the fun part starts, early game is kinda sluggish)
    2. 3 Mechanical bosses
    3. Plantera
    4. Golem
    5. Lunatic Cultist
    6. Moon Lord

    The rest is prep work for each one.

    • Collecting NPCs and making housing for them
    • Collecting weapons, armour, accessories
    • Building arenas for bosses
    • Building farming locations
    • Defeating optional bosses for more powerful loot
    • Grinding defeated bosses for specific drops

    What I usually do is:

    1. Build starter house
    2. Go mining
    3. Go exploring
    4. Beat corruption/crimson boss
    5. Make housing for NPCs
    6. Make a hellevator
    7. Make wall of flesh arena, beat it with dynamite
    8. Lots and lots of gear grinding
    9. More prep work for mechanical bosses

    The last 2 repeat for each boss that’s on the list and often include beating other bosses or events for their loot.

    I wouldn’t go for higher than 27" with 1440p because of PPI. You may want to look into 4k or UW 1440p monitors for a higher diagonal.

    Titan Army recently launched their G27W8S, which is a 350$ 26.5" OLED monitor.

    I have a 1440p 1152 zone MiniLED IPS of theirs and it’s honestly really good. My only complaints are nitpicks, which can be ignored considering it was like 200-250$.

    My choice was 5070ti, but only because they are the same price with 9070xt where I live.

    Usually, 9070xt costs around 80$ cheaper, which makes it a no-brainer to pick up over 5070ti, imo. Same performance, often better. Only slightly worse in RT, but, honestly, it’s often not worth turning it on anyway. It also has better Linux support and better driver support.

    I would probably not go for 7900xtx because of FSR4 and subpar RT performance, which are kinda needed in some of the recent games (rip optimisation). But if you don’t care about those, it may be worth picking up.

    4080… Depends on the price. I wouldn’t take it for a price higher than 5070ti.

    Reach and convenience. Why do you think podcasts exist on YouTube when they could’ve as well been audio-only?

    Besides, some people like to see the speaker, because it gives visual clues about what’s being said. Not everybody absorbs info efficiently through reading texts or just listening. Sometimes you need more than one way of recieving information.
