This is one of those areas where I believe the enigma that is Apple causes all kinds of curious problems for the "Android gaming" scene. Think of him what you will, but unarguably, one of the things that Tim Cook has always been exceptionally good at is vertical integration -- that is to say...

If memory serves, Marathon 2: Durandal actually made it over to Windows at one time, but as you note, I don't think the other two games in the series ever did, while they were still being commercially produced by Bungie. All three of the Marathon series games are now available for free under an...

While that is indeed great news, the price still made this a truly easy impulse buy -- and it persuaded me to take a closer look at the different versions of Myst available on GOG, where I realized that the latest remake of Myst (with VR compatbility!) is actually discounted as well. ($21 on GOG...

While I acknowledge the sentiment, I feel like it is... incomplete. It seems to me that this comment could have been followed up with, " -- or maybe even if you have, and just want to revisit an old favorite without breaking the bank." (Me'thinks my kids are going to be learning about Riven...

Well, I mean... I suppose you could argue that banking is also a game -- just one with much higher stakes than something like Second Life. Those stakes not high enough for you? Try the stock market -- that's some seriously high-stake gaming, right there! Also, hackers seem to think that pretty...

Sounds like you're not getting much in the way of dissenting opinions -- and you're not going to get one from me, either. I'm using a 12 Pro Max, and I'm still not completely certain that I've seen anything compelling enough to make me want to upgrade to the 15, when it makes an appearance this...

At no point, Roland, did I either state or imply that I am neurotypical. That was an assumption on your part, and an inaccurate one at that. Quite to the contrary; I felt that it was an irrelevant point -- but clearly, you disagree. I have lived with labels and have been branded as an outcast...

This is factually incorrect and does not reflect the attitudes of the medical community, nor of the majority of the people involved in the broader autism community. I suggest that you to do more research on accepted terminology with regards to autism spectrum disorder; one resource which might...

I'm just going to leave this here as a quick reminder of what once was... and apparently might still be.

You can be disappointed if you like -- but I would sincerely hope that you're not actually surprised. No carrier covers every single corner of the world, after all. For me: I tried T-Mobile some years ago. Even though I live in a very densely populated region, for whatever reason T-Mobile...

Speaking as a legacy Sprint customer (which was also bought by T-Mobile) I expect that the seamless and slick aspects of the website and app will almost certainly be the first thing to go. What is left of the Sprint website is presently a haphazard mess of kludge, hacked up in an effort to...

New observation: Opening the actual SteamVR app gives me access to another version of a "virtual desktop" interface, that is actually functional. I'm currently typing this from within my headset using that... and realizing how much I normally rely upon being able to see the keyboard in front of...

Unexpected update: The situation has changed, very much for the better... but I'm afraid I have no idea how. I was trying to follow hestermofet's suggestion and use the Oculus VR app to open the game instead of the Steam VR interface, but No Man's Sky wasn't in the library in O-VR. So I went to...

I suppose that depends upon how you define output as "working." A big black box where there should be a Windows desktop doesn't really fit that definition, to my mind. As for not using the correct display option: that reminds me of another thread that I read today, wherein it was suggested that...

Thank you for the well thought out list of suggestions. Let me see what I can address, in that: Cable: I've actually tried three different cables; the "charging" cable that came with it and two other cables off of Amazon which are specifically labeled to be used with the Quest. I'm reasonably...

It looks like maybe it's time to move this conversation to a more appropriate forum, where it might see traffic from people with some technical acumen. Background: My family was gifted a Quest 2 headset this past Christmas. The kids had been asking me for one for a while, but I resisted for...

You're not wrong.

Update-the-second: This follow-on is a bit longer, so I suppose it should get its own post. I got an itch in the back of my head and decided to install Windows 10 last night, instead of waiting for the weekend. I kind'a felt my mind leaning in this direction as soon as I made that update...

I'm fully aware that some people seem to have no problems; I'm only reporting on my personal experience and my observation that there are several easily discoverable conversations across the web where other people have had similar problems. Likewise, since one of Meta's tech support responses to...

Incompetence. Definitely incompetence.
