    Disagree strongly. My trusty old 65" LG C1 is considerably better for 2D games than any VR headset I’ve tried. It has better colors, deeper contrast, brighter HDR, higher resolution, higher refresh rate. (And before you say something about the spyware, my LG has never had an internet connection so I don’t worry about it.)

    If you usually game on an older, smaller IPS or TN monitor (less than 30"), I can understand why you would say something like like this. In that case a VR headset would be a major upgrade for you, just from the increase in perceived display size, along with a better refresh rate & response time. But if you have a decent-sized gaming OLED, then it’s no competition. The gaming display wins every time over most VR hesdsets.

    For me, the only thing I use my VR headset for is for VR porn and VR games. Everything else gets enjoyed on the TV.

    Do they make a pad that is exactly like the upcoming Steam Controller Mk.II, except with two extra face buttons next to B & Y (like an old Sega controller)? It should also have cooling fans for my hands without sacrificing rumble (just like an old Logitech controller I had back in the day).

    Something like that is my dream controller and I’ve been waiting for someone to come along and make it for years. At this point I think I’m going to have to buy a 3D printer, and get in touch with someone who fabricates circuit boards, because I’m tired of waiting.

    His grieving dad Michael said he and his wife were not able to say goodbye as they were stuck in traffic.

    If I were in his situation, I’d be weaving through traffic and driving on the shoulder to get to my son. It honestly blows my mind how some people are so law-abiding that they literally will not commit even a relatively minor infraction (in the grand scheme of things) when it matters most, even during a literal emergency. No sensible jury would convict this man for breaking traffic laws in this situation.

    I’d gladly do my 6 months to a year in jail if it meant that I got the chance to say goodbye. This father is unbelievable.

    Edit: I was wondering why my inbox blew up this morning… I’m not reading all these replies lol. It’s not good for my mental health.

    I stand by what I said. Shame on all the bad parents out there who wouldn’t do anything and everything for their kids. Y’all disappoint me. And shoutout to the four of you who agree with me. You get it.
