State of the Game

I would love to say yes, but I've been told to say no by my Conscience, Bank manager, wife, Ok, I've just moved house, so can't afford it... OK?!?!?!

In all seriousness, I would have loved to have said yes (I borrowed a mate of mines oculus S for a while to play elite, and I was blown away by it!), but we're now skint from paying solicitors and estate agents and mortgage advisors, and so on, and so forth, so I can't justify it....

Sigh...
I hear ya. We'll be doing that dance next month...

In the meantime, I offer this for consideration...

Quite seriously...

Once the Index arrives and I check that the oculus games I wish to play work with revive, the Rift S will be redundant. I'll gladly donate it, and a couple of Steam VR game codes, to your 'new home VR setup' for the price of postage only, if you are interested.
 
Sorry for the rather random posts. Here's a kitty by way of an apology:

e. In other news Mrs PiLhEaD is now threatening divorce... or at least demanding more wine...

A few years ago before D+ took over all things Marvel TV the American network ABC commissioned a show featuring the New Warriors and in particular Squirrel girl and they even went so far as to casting the part and filming a pilot before it was canned.

No one was more shocked to discover I'm a furry than me.

Oh dear... we've got that far have we?

To be fair, I've just fired up Ody ffor the first time in 3 months, and I lasted about 20 minutes before shutting it down again (majority of that was playing with graphics settings)... To be fair, Elite doesn't feel like Elite to me any more, which is a shame. :cry:

I would, and I am... I would be happy to exchange for a nice bottle of something alcoholic if that's fair? (I couldn't take it for nothing.. even if I was covering the price of postage)

Sorry to hear that, I've been having a grand time in Odyssey lately...

What is it that doesn't feel "like elite" to you?

I'd happily join that club, although they could have done better there in getting her to show where she smuggles her peanuts.

I'm not sure.. It's hard to put my finger on it... I used to spend hours per night playing (had my HOTAS bolted to the arms of my chair, and wore a baseball cap with IR LED's for head tracking), from the early beta through to Horizons (Which was a long time!), then I started to peeter a bit during the "Beyond" season... and stopped playing for a while. I was really geared up for Ody (even paid to play the Beta), and really enjoyed the first week, then they started making changes to it, and I started to go off it.... I think Ody looked (and played) best in that first week (or few days) of Beta, before they started tweaking things.

I'm not sure, I think I'm grasping at straws here... I think I'll have to start with a clean slate (and bolt my HOTAS back on!) and start from scratch, and maybe see if that head-tracking baseball cap still works...

Squirrel Girl is one of my absolute favourite super heroes. I can especially recommend the comics written by Ryan North (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl).

Like another favourite of mine, She-Hulk, she's a character that many creators had no idea what to do with except when a few sensational (pun intended) writers got hold of her. North's run with Squirrel Girl is the very best, although Ditko's first story where she beats up Iron Man and Dr. Doom is also great, as is her somewhat odd run with the Great Lakes Avengers.

John Byrne and Dan Slott had the most defining runs with the Big Green Legal Machine, while the Soule/Pulido and Tamaki stories are probably the very best. Good to see her finally back in her own series next year as she leaves the Avengers, and I look forward to/dread the TV series Disney+ is launching next year as well.

Big plus for the live-action tv series is that it has Jessica Gao at the rudder, the woman who wrote the Pickle Rick episode of Rick and Morty, and therefore a woman that should be immortalised and worshipped by all.

:D S
