  • I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem for pretty much most of my life, and I’m all for what the AVP is bringing to the table. However, one VR enthusiast Youtuber I watched recently (Thrillseeker) put down the most compelling argument against the AVP I’ve seen thus far. The AVP does well what all the other headsets don’t, but the AVP also kind of sucks at what other headsets have learned to do well. At the price of the AVP, not only could you buy a Quest 3, but you’d have enough leftover to just build an entire VR Gaming rig to back it up. Then you’d have a setup exponentially more capable than what the AVP is offering.















  • I was going to mention this if nobody else had. Easily the thing that makes me angriest most frequently on my iPhone is its behavior when trying to type out and edit longer comments. I honestly don’t know what’s going on when it starts acting funky, but the more time I spend, the weirder it gets. Sometimes I’ll try to place the cursor and it will select a word on a completely different line (it just happened when typing this up that I selected a word in the latest line of this comment and it selected the very first “I” at the top and started overwriting it). Sometimes when I try to change or retype a word, autocorrect suggests the new word mashed together with the old word. When a comment gets too long, the screen bumps up to the top of the page after every new word is added so it’s almost impossible to see what I’m typing. I don’t know if it’s the iPhone, the browser, or the webpage, but it’s a terrible experience.

    Then sometimes it’s perfectly fine.






  • My buddy and I have just gotten into Destiny 2 thanks to some free stuff I’ve gotten from PS+ over the years. Honestly, if you weren’t there from day 1, the learning curve is really prohibitive. Menus all over the place, NPCs everywhere that pretend like you know them, raids that require actual organization with people who don’t actually want to talk to you, no incentive to actually track the story, random stuff that ends up in your inventory that don’t seem to serve any purpose, a really weird leveling system, and of course a lot of proprietary vocabulary that just makes it all more confusing.

    It’s a cool game, but after a month I still just have one friend and neither of us know wtf we’re doing. Had I any less patience, I would have deleted the game by now.
