The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.
Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I’ve tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It’s sad, but it’s how it is.
I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.
But I live in a rural English town where the most exciting thing that happens is the elderly folk fighting over who has control over the flowers near the rectory. Are you saying they are russian agents? For real?
Edit: and now you’ve edited your post, making mine seem like nonsense.
Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc
The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.
Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case
Half of every morning meeting is trying to work out wtf is happening with teams in my experience.
A frequent occurrence is when it, without warning, changes your text to right-to-left Arabic layout, so every now and again you get a message from a colleague that reads like they’re trapped in the black lodge
I also had a moment yesterday when pop up messages took over almost my entire screen and I had to force quit teams. If anyone used to get pop up spammed back on MSN Messenger twenty years back it was just like that.
Teams is absolute fucking shite.
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. Getting ONLY the green melons on each stage has always been the goal to get 100%. I remember vividly filling up the records screen and even sending a results photo in the post to N64 Magazine back in 1998.
I’ll try and dig up the issue that confirms the goal is to get the green melons. It’s hard mode yes, but it’s not exactly a hidden goal. Yoshi’s Story is very intentionally vague on providing any instructions or written goals to the player, but the instruction manual and guides do.
Edit: here we go. Instruction manual scan, page 18. Specifically tells you to collect all melons for the best score. It was always there and the game guides of the day made it very, very clear. https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_N64/Manual/formated/Yoshi-s_Story_-1998-_Nintendo.pdf
Edit edit: this is a sore point for me as there are a lot of traumatic memories being bought back now of getting to 29 melons then accidentally eating a banana and having to start over! Was a fucking pain in the arse and I remember spending hours and hours on it.

Don’t bother.
I tried this route, you’ll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.
Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can’t play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You’re basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.
Also you don’t need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.
Here’s a fun one
Open up retroarch and apply the following as settings for a game:
Mirror mode! On any game! As long as you don’t care about text, it’s a fun way to add replay value. Great for platformers like Donkey Kong Country 2, Mario, etc.
If you really want a mindfuck, play a top down game like Zelda Link to the Past with the above but ALSO top down inverted too. I do that with the ALTTP randomizer sometimes.
Edit: hang on, I got Yoshi’s Story at launch and I 100% remember the ultimate aim of the game is to actually get all the melons. It’s not an alternative mode really, it’s the actual goal for 100%. At least, it’s how I played it in 1998.
Yeah, hasn’t stopped me in…15 years? Half my entire library is pirated and emulator shortcuts lol
No
I’ve installed cracked windows versions of games on the steam deck before, adding them as a non steam game, going to properties and setting them to boot with proton. I even installed a few this way by adding the installer exe as a non steam game and running that in desktop mode, under proton. It’s a hassle to find where it installed it after, but it worked for me anyhow
Before your time? Wait what
Fuck me, I’m getting old.
But it’s not just handheld games. My analogue pocket has the entire SNES, NES, Mega Drive and Pc Engine libraries, plus Amiga. Loads of MiSTer cores have been ported.
Playing SNES on the pocket is amazing. And it’s better on the pocket than any other device I’ve ever used.

Noice, should be able to get this. Currently got 1Gbps via cityfibre UK, and it costs £30 per month for unlimited usage. Never going back to Virgin media thats for sure.
I’m reading this in professor Farnsworth’s voice. I’m not sure if that makes things better or worse
Ha, it wasn’t that bad when I went but it was during May! A day in luca (I think?) was the hottest day, and Florence was just eurgh.
Being a Brit, I naturally moan about the weather a lot. It’s a different kind of moan nowadays, as it now seems to be humid and uncomfortable more often than not.
It was 38°c the last time I went to Pisa (five years ago now, fuck) and that was utterly miserable at times. Can’t even begin to imagine 10°c on top of that.
I can get that, I guess it’s why they introduced menu music - you’re in there a looong time.
Yes, extremely easy to set up for schools, cheaper than alternatives, and simple to problem solve for teachers.
