“But what about short games?” Well, short games already have the hardest time getting people to buy them, so they may still come out ahead.

I know people point at this as the new appcolapyse, but here’s the thing: It makes a lot of sense for games. It makes no sense at all for apps. It’s quite possible that Apple is still smart enough not to extend the concept to apps.

I’ve been waiting two years for a new iPad mini, because I love this form factor and my mini 2 struggles with most apps nowadays. But I went to the Apple Store and the iPad Pro is so much sexier I don’t know that I can handle spending 560 € (with Pencil) on the old design 😖

I spend so much time in Beat Saber that I forget how cool it can be to stand in a fully detailed virtual environment. Corollary: every time I mess around with Oculus Home I’m mystified by how annoying the overall UX is, when Oculus used to be so good at that.

Adding a spring didn’t solve the issue but setting launch options to “-vrmode oculus” seems to make the sabers come back much faster. Makes sense — SteamVR would be adding a layer of error correction that messes things up — and explains why Oculus Store buyers aren’t rioting.

Huh, I’d considered many reasons for my tracking issues in Beat Saber, but never thought of this and it actually makes a lot of sense

# 2019/03/18 - 16:53 — originally published on @commandergaroo

As an iPad mini fan I’m offended that a new A12 model with Pencil support doesn’t warrant an announcement during next week’s keynote, but I can’t pretend that I’m surprised.

Also… ugh, that’s a lot of euros 😕

I hate that I’m basically punishing a developer for giving out free content, but the expert maps for Beat Saber’s new free songs are so bad they’ve put me off buying the DLC. (Except for the one Jaroslav Beck track, and that can’t be a coincidence—does he map his songs himself?)
