Hi, anyone else in the Cairns area looking for trans/queer people to hang out with?

I'm interested in video games, computers, technology, and VR

Been riding my bike to work lately, and because of the angle of the sun it shines directly in my eyes in the morning and evening. What's the best way to keep the sun out of my eyes when cycling?

Using a Quest 3 on Windows, with Voicemeeter as my input/output device. When I connect through Virtual Desktop and set my VM in/out to the VD audio devices, audio works fine. But when I connect through Steam Link, and set all my audio devices in VM to the Steam Link audio devices, I can't hear anything. Has anyone else run into this?

I've noticed that the comments section on videos never loads. I've tried clearing my cookies and cache but they still won't load. If I open the video in an Incognito tab they do open though. What can i try to fix it?

Had an eye on this place since I heard about it a couple months back, but haven't had a chance to go. How's the food and drink there?

Just ordered a prebuilt PC on a really good deal, and since it has a Radeon 9070 XT GPU it should play nice with SteamOS. I want to play some Windows-only games like Fortnite or Valorant on it, and it only has a 1TB drive (and I can't budget a second drive) so I'd need to partition and install SteamOS on the other partition. Is SteamOS well suited for this? Or would I be better off using Bazzite?

Steam Machine will be a great option for people who want a prebuilt PC. Yes you can build your own PC for less, but there's a big chunk of people who are completely overwhelmed (i.e. anxious) by the idea of building a PC and this will be fantastic for them

Hi, wanting to start my journey for bottom surgery, just spoke to my GAC doctor and was recommended to ask online for clinics that other people have gone to.

Bullet points:
* Domestic clinic vs overseas? Pros & cons of each? I was told that domestic clinics have a long wait list but I'm happy to wait
* How much should I expect to spend with each?
* Do I need to get on health insurance?

I'm in my 20s, looking to meet people my age with similar interests (e.g. video games) but I'm really not interested in going to nightclubs or bars. Any recommendations for clubs or social hangouts? Pref in central suburbs

Has anyone used this bike or similar from this manufacturer? It's appealing to me as it's affordable ($2100 MSRP) and looks comfortable to ride

Context: I have a Steam Deck and Steam Controller. The Deck's default desktop config works fine, but when I use that same config with the Steam Controller on my PC, the mouse sensitivity feels way too low. This is because I have a 1440p monitor which is about 4x the resolution of Steam Deck.

The problem: I turned up the mouse sens in the config and it felt fine. But when I went to use my Steam Deck suddenly the sens was way too high.

Solution: First reset the mouse sens to default. The go Edit Configuration > Trackpads > Dropdown on Right Trackpad > Add a Mode Shift. In the mode-shifted trackpad, increase the sense to something very high like 400%, and set the activator to one (or both) of the grip sensors. This means that while LG/RG is active, the mouse will have a higher sens. On Steam Deck, since you don't have the LG/RG, it just stays at normal sens.

I hope someone else finds this useful!

So there's been endless discussion about the price already, but I want to discuss something somewhat new.

Some people talk about how the Frame will fail because it's too expensive vs a Quest 3. Some people also talk about how the Frame's experience out of the box won't be significantly better than the best wireless Quest 3 setup. I want to compare the cost of a high end wireless Quest 3 setup and see how the Frame could fare against that.

A high end Quest 3 setup (in this post) includes the headset + controllers, a good headstrap, and a dedicated VR router.

Prices from Amazon US:

• Meta Quest 3 512 GB: $599
• BOBOVR M3 Pro Battery Strap: $49.99
• TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router: $160.87
• Virtual Desktop: $24.99
• Total is $834.85 (not incl. tax or shipping)

Prices for Australia:

• Meta Quest 3 512 GB: $969.00
• BOBOVR M3 Pro Battery Strap: $95.00
• TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router: $349.00
• Virtual Desktop: $38.99
• Total: $1,413 (incl. tax) (not incl. shipping)
  • Tax incl: USD$1032.36
  • Tax excl: USD$938.51
  • Yes we are getting rorted

Yes the Q3 price is subsidised but it's also been pushed up by memory crisis.

So rounded up the price of a good Q3 wireless setup is $850. If the Frame comes in at that price or lower it's gonna be a fantastic deal.

I was thinking of preordering the deluxe edition, but seeing that spec sheet has me a bit worried for how the game is gonna perform on PC, and I have quite a good PC.
