So my USB plug is fucked, right?

I moved my PC a couple weeks ago without thinking, and apparently when doing so I pushed the USB cable up against a bar on my desk, and twisted it. The port on the motherboard is fine, but this definitely isn't. When I start it up, the power on the headset works just fine, but SteamVR can't detect it no matter what port I plug it into.

Totally unrelated, what are some other good VR headsets yall would recommend?

It would be glorious

It'd be like how Lockheed and Raytheon and shit have ads on billboards in DC, if politicians see "hey look at what cool shit NASA has been doing" all day then they'd be more inclined to give them more budget

What's the best scientific/engineering explanation for Beskar?

I know that Beskar is more of a "magic bullshit go" material than anything else, but what's the best equivalent to it that we have/what could it be made of? A Titanium-Tungsten alloy? Something similar with carbon infused into it? It would have to have a melting point high enough to resist plasma (lightsabers), so there's not a whole lot that can really be in it without compromising that

Realistically, what could actually destroy the Gravemind?

I recognize the whole "a single spore can destroy worlds" thing about the flood, but hypothetically, how much firepower would you need to permanently kill the thing? The entire combined Covenant and UNSC fleets glassing it for 6 months straight? A Death Star? More? Less?

Suggestion for new movement tech: better subspace usage

Basically the title. Rather than it being exclusive for science ships and slow as hell, you can get a mid to late game tech chain that allows better subspace travel times, and eventually get a subspace drive that allows construction/military ships to use subspace at the cost of slower standard hyperlane travel times.

example:

Tech 1: Speculative Hyperlane Breaching (unlocks subspace, already in game)

Tech 2: Experienced Subspace Engineers (makes subspace travel faster by 25% or something)

Tech 3: Sophisticated Subspace Technology (unlocks level 1 subspace drives, increases subspace travel speed by a further 30% but slows hyperlane travel by 25%)

Tech 4: Advanced Subspace Drives (unlocks level 2 subspace drives, increases speed by 20% but slows hyperlane travel by 20% as well)

Tech 5: Widespread Subspace Travel (unlocks level 3 subspace drives, same modifiers as the previous tech)

This is ALL of us

there's no way this is what the sub is meant for but the main sub tinkered with the rules and has meme mondays

You don't make nose art of your general with "Plo's Bros" written under it without being chill as fuck with him

Cal "Catch These Hands" Kestis

Beating the shit out of the same Inquisitor twice and turning (presumably) one of the higher ranking ones back to the light? Yeah they hear the bells tolling for them when he pulls up

Nothing makes you hate war like just waiting for your side's war exhaustion to tick up because you curbstomped the enemy so hard

Minute 1: holy shit i finally get to have some fun and beat the shit out of these guys over here

Minute 40: I'm tired, boss.
