  • In a lot of regions metal is the official theme music of white nationalists so I can’t say this is true

    Eh, it doesn’t belong to them. Racists try to insert themselves into things the same way other groups do, e.g. “christian rock” that tries to use the appeal of the genre to spread their particular message.

    As a counterpoint to your statement, metal is immensely popular across South America. Look up any Iron Maiden concert in Brazil and you’ll see vast legions of diehard fans going nuts. And the overwhelming majority probably wouldn’t be considered white, at least not in the way European or North American racists want it to mean.










  • I don’t know about thousands, but I get the impression some of Beat Saber fans have hundreds of hours in that game alone.

    Just like with non-VR games I’m sure there’s a lot of variation. Some titles are designed for long branching narratives that invite replay. Some are inherently multiplayer and get most hours from that. Some have endless modes you can play over and over to best your high score. And some have none of those things and just a single definitive ending after 5-20 hours.


  • Oh 100% I’m a longtime Patient Gamer so I know exactly what you mean. I just meant to say that playing older games (as in maybe 5-10 years after release) tends to be a different experience than something released maybe 2-3 years ago that happened to hit a deep discount. The tech landscape changes and maybe now you can fully max out the settings, including high res texture mods and an ENB that weren’t possible before, that sort of thing.

    Or maybe you can’t do any of that so it feels a bit crusty and letterboxed, that happens too.
