I got a copy of Tak, which is crazy good, and an Oculus Quest!
Took me all of one afternoon to start sideloading custom songs into Beat Saber.. that game is addictive as hell.

Ambrosia!! This is the absolute best apple for straight up eating. It’s shocking it’s not on your list!

Canadian here.. what the hell is a “handle” in terms of a unit of liquid measurement?

Dude. The Hazards of Love is the best concept album of the past 20 years, hands down. The story is epic and spanning and magical and haunting and desperately sad.

I can barely think of a handful of contenders, since concept albums aren’t really a thing anymore, but none of them come close.

I just posted this too, but for a different reason - the feather shortcut.

I’m surprised no one picked the OG Ghost House. That feather jump shortcut was just the most epic thing when you nailed it. After all these years (and versions) that still remains the most satisfying and masterful moment I’ve had playing the franchise.

I’ve been using an external DAC for years with my Android phones anyways. I won’t miss it, at all. Between BT cans and digital out, no one should lament the loss of a single-purpose port.

Boy, I’d love an update and re-test to this list. The running/exercise tracking app ecosystem has expanded and changed massively (ex. Endo and Mapmyrun are now both owned by Under Armour).

How about it? Update?

If they can move say 100k units, they’ll be laughing. That cash injection will fund further development. I’d say we’re 2 years away from a Rift 2.0, the same amount of time roughly as from DK2 to CV1. If the gap in quality is the same, 2.0 will be significantly improved and probably cost less.

Plus, all the big…

Ew.

Jeebus, but that Limited Edition PS4 at the end is beautiful. Never really considered one before, but damn..

I use mine with my Sony SW3 smartwatch. I take it running, and stream audio from the watch. No real other way to do it without taking my phone along, which would defeat the whole GPS smartwatch plan anyways.

In other words, they do have their uses. Niche uses, perhaps, but uses nonetheless.

I remember all the hours put into trying to get my off-tank warrior to FR300. Brutal.

Maybe this doesn't pass muster for the article because it's a limited scope, but PC Part Picker (pcpartpicker.com) is fantastic if you're looking for compy parts, and allows you to save builds, favourite certain parts, and configure alerts if a price for something you've got your eye on drops below a certain threshold.

For those of you wishing to install from a USB drive, you can use Rufus (http://rufus.akeo.ie/) to create a bootable USB stick of the image.

THIRTY MINUTES...

What the actual fuck.

It's applied at the register, line in the US. There's a federal goods and services tax (the GST) at 5% that's applied nationally on goods that aren't classified as "basic needs" so pretty much everything except food and shelter. Then the provinces (except Alberta) charge a provicial sales tax (PST). This can…
