2 Days Of Oculus..... The Story So Far

[Kaltern]

As someone who's been able to touch type for years, without even trying to learn, just typing lots, I didn't realise how few people could. It's why there is a bump on the f and j people.

Well apart from the fact that touch-typing isn't an instinctive skill, I cannot touch type due to a disability which affects my left hand.

So, perhaps it's better to assume there's a reason why people CAN'T do something, rather than expecting everyone to be able to do something just because you can.

How have you guys found the transition then from being able to use the keyboard, not being able to use the keyboard?

ie: Normally you could using some keys on the keyboard for less common options, or indeed when in stations etc, and especially for typing in stuff (eg: system names). But in VR surely you completely lose use of the keyboard?

The idea of losing the keyboard is my biggest concern with VR.



The other concern for ED is at least people still complaining abuot eligibility of text etc!

VR transcends the things you are concerned about (but we have all thought the same way).

The benches I'm seeing off Vega FE at the moment are not encouraging.
It seems to settle between a 1070 and 1080 in gaming performance. That was when compared to founders, get one of the improved fan coolers and you won't thermal limit (unless you have bad airflow)
So I recommend the 1080.
Nvidia and Intel is running the gaming market and that's not going to change anytime soon.
Certainly not from what Ryzen and Vega has shown so far.

As for the 16gb of on-board memory, it doesn't mean much, ED doesn't use more than 5.5gb out of my 11gb anyways.

Sometime in the future probably but not yet.

1 week in and loving it. Got used to the settings. Better with green HUD. Single biggest improvement is to change from an Anaconda to the Asp.
WOW
No other way to describe the immersion change because of the increase in field of view. Awesome. Now it's just a case of getting it engineered a bit.

My keyboards have concave home keys and only a "nipple" on the num-pad 5 - that's also how I (dimly) remember my early typewriter keys were, concave home keys that is.
