ref.: Purchasing game via oculus or steam...a moral dilemma...? Also question on Oculus home.
1) Valve pretty much have a monopoly
2) Valve have been doing FUCK ALL with the money I've been giving them all these years. Where the fuck was Half Life 2 VR on launch day? Where the fuck is Half Life 3?
Yes, they've started work on 3 VR games, but given Valve Time we probably won't see any of those until 2034 lol

That, I do agree it's a problem ^^, especially when we have a slow connection. Not only does Oculus launch the update without any sort of notifications, it also can't be reported when it's an update of the main software.
Don't expect better software from the others, though. SteamVR also has its Home software, which also takes some space on the drive. Not to mention it's poorly optimized... As for WMR, I guess their "cliffhouse" is light, but for the rest... good luck, lol.
ref.: Aliens - Fact Or Fiction..?
Are there aliens? yes, almost certainly. Have any visited Earth? no, definitely not.
It's a probability thing. It's so unlikely that intelligent life is within the range of receiving our earliest radio transmissions that it's virtually certain that nobody knows we're here.
On top of that, they'd need to be so far advanced that they'd be capable of that kind of space travel... i.e. close to the speed of light (not faster cos that's science fiction).
On top of that, civilisations have a finite span of existence, so it's even more unlikely that intelligent life has existed long enough to become advanced enough, within the distance of our radio transmissions to know we're here and be able to get here.
On top of that , they'd have do be dumb enough to travel here, rather than send a radio signal of some kind... or a probe... cos those things would be a bit more cost effective.... and being dumb enough and advanced enough doesn't add up.
On top of that, the people who believe in alien UFOs also have a tendency to believe in ghosts, conspiracy theories, certain globes not being globes (tip-toes around the forum rules very carefully there)... the healing powers of crystals, and gluten-free diets for non-Coeliacs.
ref.: Aliens - Fact Or Fiction..?
I just realised... any civilisation advanced enough to travel to earth would have created a 140 deg FOV VR headset and they'd be on a 21 series nvidia card by now.
So why would they want to leave their games room... let alone leave their planet?
ref.: Why my next VR headset won't be from Oculus
When I put on my Headset, I do it to use a VR app or play a VR game. I have a real home to look at and don't need a virtual one.
All I need is a VR interface to maintain and launch my Library content and a settings interface for the hardware/software.
That didn't make much sense. You have a real home, so you have no need for a virtual home that can put you in outer space? By that logic, why are you playing games in virtual reality anyway when you can go outside and play a game with rocks and sticks? It sounds like you don't even need any technology since you have everything you need on the Earth itself.
If all you want to do is manage your library and interact with apps, then the desktop application works just fine.
Anyone who dislikes Oculus Home can launch their apps from their desktop. It's basic Windows functionality that's been around since 3.1 people.
