Gotta vent, then leave oculus for now.

On Palmers responses to those tracking and occlusion questions.

This I find so crazy. Anyone who feels reassured by Palmers response is a fool. He didn't give a straight yes or no answer. He said it's impossible to tell until everything is released. What a bullsh*t "answer". He knows what oculus's tech can do vs what vives tech can do. It's a yes or no answer, not a paragraph beat around the Bush "pretty much the same" answer. Consider me lost as a customer. Good luck with your restricted bs business practices. You want to sell me a product? Show me, don't expect me to throw money at you because you say it'll be just as good as your competitors. And everyone expecting a bump in the queue, I was a may pre-order because oculus didn't expect that many orders within 4 years of talk and hype. I am so mad guys. I followed them for such a long time, and only twitter and reddit responses are what we can expect from the "founder" of next gen vr. HTC and valve gave there product to the masses and told them to flaunt it. Guess what? It worked. I was holding off on canceling my Pre-order, but what's the point? Lol only thing oculus has is exclusives. Big whoop. Once they realize they have to appeal to the other half of the market they'll open up. Thanks for letting me vent. Ugh... It's just so frustrating guys....

You use your DK2 for "ED"? Does it work better than the "little blue pill"? :mrgreen:

Seriously, what do you mean by "ED", if not to literally imply "VR porn"? :roll:


Elite Dangerous. It is the best long term VR experience I have had. Hours and hours in and it's still fun in VR!

because of the NDA's

It's easy to forget this when watching interviews, but it holds back a LOT of information and puts the folks under pressures you may not really understand unless you've been there yourself.

Given all of that, Palmer is doing a better job than almost anyone I've seen in a similar situation, most of whom slip easily into the "nervous sleaze-ball marketer" category...

I wholeheartedly agree, Palmer is amazing with the NDA over his shoulder's, he's really taken it to the next step by telling and not telling us future users 😉 i respect him for that!

I thought he was referring to Ethyldichloroarsine, but I wasn't sure what the connection between a world war 1 chemical warfare blister agent and a VR hmd was.
