  That’s a shame. Pavlov is one of the few games that supports dynamic foveated rendering (DFR) through Quad Views on AMD graphics. I was hoping to test the performance gains after getting big uplifts from DFR in Kayak VR but I don’t really want to buy an online-focused game that’s falling off.

  I am on PCVR, Asgard’s Wrath just happens to be one of Meta’s few PCVR games with depth. I just found it to be a slog.

  I’m definitely going to play Alyx soon, but I’m too sucked into VR sim racing at the moment. Le Mans Ultimate and Dirt Rally 2.0 keep me on the edge of my seat at all times.

  I was interested in Contractors and the CoD Zombies maps that people recreated in them, but I haven’t gotten around to buying it yet.

  I just got into VR and I recently tried Ace Combat 7 in VR… Incredible experience once you have the right setup.

  As for motion controlled VR games, I tried Asgard’s Wrath and was pretty disappointed. Synth Riders is always a good time, and Kayak VR is gorgeous, but I’m struggling to find a game that has gameplay more compelling than “shoot here” and “swing your swords wildly.”

  Even the clean energy supplied data centers will heavily pollute the water used to cool it. So, even if we do that, we should still be pushing to reduce the amount of datacenters being built right now…

  Regardless of what happened to crypto, it was certainly a crypto mining hardware bubble for anyone invested in that.
