Yup, Dash is amazing. I've just got some passenger cabins for my T7 Transporter in Elite Dangerous and have been quite happy watching episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents whilst ferrying around tourists, businessmen and POWs. Normally I'd have some music going whilst in Elite Dangerous but even if I only decide to do that instead of watching stuff it's great that I can change the music I want to listen to without taking my headset off.

Oculus have REALLY knocked this out of the proverbial park as far as I'm concerned, an outstanding update. B)

Wait, so you can play Elite and come out to your desktop while ED is running? 

You should be able to, I do that easily playing IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad and DCS.
With the game running, press the Oculus Button on Touch or remote. Will bring you to Oculus Home.
Click on the monitor icon, which will open up your desktop in VR. 
When ready to go back into game, press Oculus button again.

I bought Theseus last night and started playing it today. The art in this game is phenomenal  😮

It's a third person action adventure and plays pretty well so far. Just got past the bloomin great big spiders, bloody things. I haven't got a sword yet but according to reviews the combat mechanics are pretty good.

I reckon Oculus must have funded development on this, it's easily 2 years work for a small team and like I've said the art is beautiful  ❤️

I'm going to enjoy this one I think, and according to one of the reviews you need to play the game twice to finish it because the game changes after a certain point the second time around.

I just can't get over how nice this game looks 😮

I'm getting stuttering audio when I play audio from my PC... are you turning off the "home audio" before you listen, I didnt' do that and I'm hoping that's all it is (I'm travelling ATM so won't be able to check until I'm home again).

I beat it last night (it does take a second playthrough). I plan to do a writeup soon. The experience is short, but fantastic.

OMG Core 2.0 is awesome. I was using it but I had no idea that I could press the dash button while in a VR game! I could play spotify music while in VR or watch YouTube while on a boring ED long jump. This changes everything. I'll start playing ED again. 

This is just brilliant. 

Question: How do you curve a screen? I know how to move it farther and closer and grow and shrink but how do you curve it? 

Oh, Projetions has a really interesting interview with Core 2.0 developers. The future they're aiming for is just awesome.

I'm also interested on this. You can for sure curve your screen by putting iton the pre-defined grid in front of you, but would like to curve it too even  if I set it far from this grid, and it's turning flat in that case...

Edit : Mmmm, I didn't try to click on the analog stick used to change size and distance. it could be there (or can be there as it sound kind of logical)...
