The only VR game that has had staying power among my friends is VTOL VR. VTOL is a combat flight sim based around near future jets and helicopters. This is where I see the greatest growth potential in VR, in simulators and stationary immersive experiences. Walking around is cumbersome and aiming with physical controllers doesn't feel as clean as M&K, but sitting in a cockpit and pushing buttons while the world flies around you at mach 2 feels amazing.


VTOL VR is the best flight sim out there, imo.


You mean Screeps. The javascript rts


If you have an f12 key on your keyboard, you are now a hacker. Bad ass.


I wonder if it is some sort of variation on a double pendulum problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum

Where the system is very chaotic and incredibly hard to model, so it appears to be random.

Perhaps this is a complicated multi star system that contains a pulsar and the complex orbits are creating these seemingly random flashes of light.


See also The Three-Body Problem

And it's also the name of a great book that might be appropriate here...

4k Oled? On a 15" screen seems overkill. Also OLED displays still have ghosting problems. 1440p is the sweet spot IMO.


Ghosting? OLED is way beyond LCD:
