Today I no longer felt alone 😬 There was something in the water...
 
Fortunately, it was just my old friend Willy 🤗
- tried to put my head under the water better to see him:
Fun to follow Willy for a while - but going into deeper waters I could no longer follow him (got the message to turn back as I was "out of boundaries").
Some scenic views from my recent Antarctica vacation:
Today I also went into some ice caves:
 
See how detailed the ice/snow is on the above image. Further on, some glacier collapsed (see the red circle) revealing a new passage:
Did not feel comfortable paddling under this block of ice, lol:
Some rock formations and cliffs looked great, also when struck by sunlight:
Hard to show on stills, but there are several layers to this icy rock:
Animal life is great too - here are me, myself & my penguins:
Dynamic shadows are quite detailed, here's my paddle casting a shadow on some ice:
The maps are big, and occasionally special features are triggered - like seeing Willy jumping out of the water. You may have to spend much time on each map to reveal all of its secrets.
So far I've only gotten 6 of 30 achievements:
Ya, I've seen Willy jump out of the water a couple of times but in each case the water around him looked very pixelated even with my VP1, and not much difference with my Q2. Not sure why?
BTW, VivePort is very good, unlike what a few Reddit kiddies have to say about it. The same little kiddies say the same about everything. Probably from the safety of their mother's basement, lol! Best to buy (or extend) annual infinity subs during sales (like Nov black Friday). I started out with a free annual sub that came with my OG Vive Cosmos and this was its only thing of value imho, lol! My OG Cosmos is still back in it's box, under my pool table. At least its cable is compatible with my VP1.
Sounds strange with the pixelated image of Willy - I've only seen Willy jump from afar, but I don't recall him looking pixelated. I recall thinking the animation could be better, didn't look that natural, but it's probably difficult making it look right 🙂 Going forward, I'll be keeping an eye out for pixelated Willys 😉
I'm using SteamVR res 250% with the game - and best quality DLSS and max sharpening, antialising set to "on", but not MSAA (I think MSAA with DLSS created some visual artifacts, could cause image pixelation?). All other settings maxed (=cinematic), in-game res set to its default as I'm using SteamVR res to set super sampling (or OTT for the CV1).
Btw, did see something that looked like Willy on Bjørnøya, but getting closer it really looked like a great white shark 😬 Saw it using CV1, maybe my vision through the water is better using oled...
