My (pre CV lock down ordered) Quest Link arrived today - problem is it is USB C to C, my PC only has A and the PCIe card I ordered has not arrived, unlikely until post CV lockdown. So Half Life Alyx sitting in my steam library unplayed
First world lockdown problems

@Paekakboyz I tried to stop playing it three times, then figured what else should I be doing?

I'm sending that to a mate who is a freak for algorithms.
he loves it. Works on Sydney Trains so gets the occasional break to kill time in.

I have just got off it. Pity you can't save where you were. That was excellent
IT REMEMBERS WHERE YOU WERE!! Magic

Brilliant.
Okay... only heard of this today... I was feeling a little embarassed at how much time I spent on it, until I read something about it, and realised I was still in "Stage 1".
WTF. -

WTF.Yeah, me too. I played it for about six hours before I finished it.

I wiped the dust off my old gaming laptop yesterday and installed HL Alyx
First impressions are very good. It was a similar to when I first played Resident Evil on the PSVR... it's another significant leap forward in immersion
The textures are way better than any other VR title I've played. Valve have got this scaling very well too.. 'Ultra High' settings was playable on a moderate machine. I dropped back to 'Very High' to make sure the frame rate stayed smooth enough for VR

WTF.So I started playing this the other day after reading about it here, and then left it running on my second laptop, and only just check in occasionally.
How far has anyone gone in it?
I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but I'm at the point where my investments dwarf my paperclip business but I'm pretty sure I'm still in stage 1.

Yeah - spent an entire day on it, and "clocked it". Took me hours longer than it should have, as I spent ages trying to balance the input/output at a much later stage than you're at. As soon as I realised... "go exponential growth, you dumb fluffybunny" - it was over pretty quick.
And yeah - if you're still talking investments... there's a fair way to go. -

Wonderfully designed game.

Highly recommend 'Lies Beneath'. First person survival horror game. Easily the best game on the Quest right now and I understand a more graphically beefed-up version is coming soon to the Rift. A hell of a lot of fun but also a genuinely terrifying experience, heart goes a mile a minute playing. Gotta play it on hard where the enemy are stronger and you get bugger-all ammo so you have to make some hard choices on how to deal with each situation.

And yeah - if you're still talking investments... there's a fair way to go.I think this game clearly highlights my lack of ambition in life. TBF, I've just been leaving it running and checking in occasionally, and not managing it properly, but now I'm thinking what is the point of working on it when I have a couple of billion dollars just sitting in my investments and cash.
I'd like to know what you guys are talking about but am I just too lazy to concentrate on playing it properly?

If you totally want to shit yourself, spend your $2 here: https://www.pcgamer.com/alien-isolation-is-95-on-sale-for-dollar2thats-95-off/
I'm far too scared to try it in VR mode, it's terrifying enough on a PC monitor
