Don’t go this route unless you plan to stay on Windows 10. Windows 11 24h2 killed my HP Reverb G2 v2 due to eol of wmr.

This sounds like a lot of fun. Enough to convince me to buy the PC port of the game at least. Can’t wait to try it out!

As a former Reverb G2 v2 owner (who recently sold his setup at fire sale prices because of this sunsetting by MS) I am very disappointed by this move. Why brick a bunch of perfectly functional devices and create a massive amount of e-waste in the process?

Why not just freeze WMR in place, stop feature development, but keep the functionality around? I can’t imagine bug fixing and driver updates cost Microsoft any substantial amount of resources, given how they pretty much dropped doing any of that after 2022.

It makes no sense to me and feels like management wanting to make a statement, more than a reasonable business decision. Especially since this move directly conflicts their stated sustainability goals and directives.

It’s almost like the company is trying really hard to wash their hands clean of the HoloLens exec they fired for misconduct a while ago in the most scorched earth way possible or something.

Frustrating to see MS add VR support to their own titles while simultaneously killing WMR and all associated devices. Sure, VR in MFS24 sounds great, but it’s a bit of a slap in the face for the people whose WMR devices will turn into e-waste later this year.

This sounds amazing. I wonder what it’s like to play and how “done” the mod is. If this plays anything like a ground-up VR effort would I am going to be all over this.

True, but Göteborg has its own areas to avoid. Hjällbo comes to mind…

I haven’t seen it mentioned, so let me say: Outerwear. Especially if you are into snow sports, the difference between quality outerwear and cheap garbage is not just getting wet sooner. It could very well save your life if you’re wearing something that will keep you dry while maintaining breathability. And nothing beats lifetime no questions asked warranty where you just hand it in and it gets repaired for you. In the long term this saves a decent penny whil also reducing your environmental impact

Same goes for base and mid layers. Cotton will kill you, and lots of cheap synthetics don’t breathe well. Spend money or higher end synthetics or merino.

Lastly, don’t get cheap goggles from Amazon or eBay. Heck, don’t get the cheapest models from even more reputable brands. You will want your goggle lenses to provide good UVA and UVB protection, while also providing contrast enhancing features like polarization and very importantly: fog resistance. You will not have a good time if you can’t see where you’re going. I can’t stress enough how big of a difference visibility makes for your enjoyment and safety.

The difference between my Zojirushi and the Black and Decker we had prior is indescribable. My home made bread suddenly wasn’t dry from the middle down and would last without losing freshness for a whole day extra. With the same ingredients. It’s absolutely worth it to buy a quality bread maker.

UAE is cheating since they outsourced it to the Netherlands to do their sea reclaiming for them.

That was the most infuriating thing about this whole post to me. Elon’s braindead take is on brand and expected at this point, but that chart (or worse, the reaserch behind it) is the true crime here.

EXistenZ - The final question “Are we still in the game?” really summarized the first watch experience. You have no clue what’s going on anymore by that point. Same goes for Total Recall by the way - that movie also has you guessing what’s real and what isn’t throughout 90% of the runtime.
