Exactly, it’s meaningless, yet not without consequence. An early downvote can kill a post by smothering its visibility when new.
I take issue with people taking baseless action, doing, even when they can’t possibly back it up with words, and affecting things in ways they are too dumb to even consider.
Such instances are infuriating. Exemplary of the worst in us.
I see you’re having a go at putting some sentences together to excuse a type of parasitical behaviour even more toxic than mine, but whatever.
You’ll have to do better than this now that I’ve got the whole thing out of system.
I vented 6k contributed comments and posts worth of random unexplained disapproval, there.
Baseless downvotes annoy me over time, so I provoked the type of people who make them out of the woodwork so I could take a couple swings. Lo and behold, worked exactly the way any idiot could predict.
Darn. The headset itself doesn’t have much of a system inside, or could it do something like video decoding? Or is it and the PS5 really a package deal?
The power issue could be solved with a breakout box of some kind… I had thought it was just USB PD.
About to downvote this? Please do, it will give me endless satisfaction if the downcount goes up on this one, because I apparently made you cringe so hard you went looking for unrelated comments of mine to express your wordless disapproval even more strongly.
Hey, I took out some frustrations by making a couple cathartic edits about downvoters that can’t be asked to use words, because then I’d be able to retort about how wrong they are.
If you think that wasn’t me “getting recalibrated” on this shit by doing something that amounts to little more than screaming into a pillow, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Now get off that high horse, it’s clear that your inability to reach the grass from up there is making you feel far too superior to even realize when you’re being a patronising piece of shit who is farming upvotes, rather than helping anyone.
Unlike the PSVR1, there is no special processing box required to make it work, it’s just power, USB, and a displayport signal, carried by a single standard USB C connector.
And even the PSVR1 got figured out by hackers to the point that the hardware can now be used directly, no PS4 required.
I don’t imagine that any PSVR2 PC compatibility would require using the HMD through the ps5, when you could just plug it directly into the PC.
I’d have to pad them by about three times the thickness of the official “booster” attachment that you can 3d print. I do have them, and they help, a little.
But by the time my thumb would really land in the right place, the controller would be too thick to hold with the rest of my fingers.
I’ve thought this through, the Index Controllers can’t be saved.
I wish. I just cut the straps off entirely so I can hold them further down, but the straps are what makes the off-set weight of the sensor bars bearable, so now I’m dealing with that.
Edit3: Keep em coming, one downvote on a serious comment is annoying. 2 and above after I turn it into a “fuck you” is a score-count.
Edit: Whoever downvoted me, fuck you. If the knuckles work for you, great, but they are objectively an ergonomic disaster.
Their adjustability is an illusion, because the design of the strap means you can’t adjust how high or low your grip sits on the handle to accommodate fingers of different length.
So to use them comfortably, you just kinda have to hope your hands are the right size. Valve knows this, that’s why they released a cad model for a 3d printed attachment that makes the handle thicker as a shitty fix to increase the grip-button distance.
Edit2: Hah, at least you additional assholes downvoting me now had to read me telling you to get fucked first. You guys are simply wrong if you think the index controllers are ergonomically sailient, and don’t need replacing with something better.
You needn’t look far to find Reddit post after post, article after article discussing the atrocious design when it comes to real people trying to use the damn things.
I actually hate the knuckles. They are ergonomic amateur hour, they were made for one size and one size only. I regret ditching my CV1 because of them, though being able to play VR games on Linux numbs the pain a lot.
For me they are basically unusable because of the placement of the buttons in relation to the handle.
Due to the straps, your hand has to scoot right up to the top end of the handle, but this means my long skinny thumb lands way past where the buttons are. To use the buttons, the touch pad or the joystick, I have to bend my thumb into a claw that’s not even close to comfortable.
To see what I mean, hold your phone with one hand and try to touch the corner closest to that hand. That’s what the Index controllers are like to use for me. I basically stopped playing games that require using the buttons.
The top adjustment moves side to side, not up and down, and if you put it in the lowest position possible, and therefore best for me, I now also have to bend my fingers sideways as well as inwards.
The large hand adaptor that valve made for people like me to 3d print barely helps, and makes their already heavier weight even more of an issue in games like beat saber.
They seemed to be acquiring and funding good things for a while there, and then out of the blue went “oops, spent a bit too much there lol, gotta melt some of these down for cash” and then threw some seriously good shit right into the crucible.
