  • Basic Criteria to look for if you want to run VR games:

    I would reccomend AMD’s Ryzen 5 or above, or an intel i5 released in the last few years.

    ! (Intel has the i3, i5, and i7, and with each generation the number increases. We’re on the 13th generation, so the newest processors will be named something like “i7 13700”) An i7 isn’t really much better than an i5 for gaming purposes, but an i5 is usually much much better than an i3.!<

    I get along just fine with my Nvidia rtx 2060. it’s the lowest end card that supports RTX features and I play in VR using it all the time.

    Then you’re gonna want some RAM, i would reccomend an absolute minimum of 8gb and 16gb to be comfortable. i don’t have the greatest highest end RAM and my genes run just fine.





  • No algorithmic suggestions and therefore, no curated daily taste playlists, no sorting your library by genre (at least not as granular and specific as Spotify unless you put in as much work as they do at tagging your music), finding new music manually takes at least 10x more effort and you’re limited to the taste you already know you have. If you switch phones you’re SOL unless you want to deal with the insanely slow transfer speeds of androids MTP or whatever apples slow ass transfer protocol is. Not to mention your library is limited by how much space you have. My 10,000+ song playlists on Spotify aren’t gonna easily fit on anyone’s device, and definitely not at the highest quality that Spotify can stream at. Your only hope of getting even a comparable experience is to be tech savvy and patient enough to set up a home streaming server, manually tag all your music, and find an audio app with an interface/features that you like that also supports streaming. Oh and then your home computer needs to be on all the time, and your Internet has to be great, and you must not care about your energy bill that much, and … I’m just gonna stop. Locally stored music is just not anywhere near as good. It’s lame and tedious and nearly pointless. At most, I’d say keep a couple albums you like with high quality FLACs but that’s it. You’re waisting your time not getting Spotify premium or Apple Plus or whatever the heck

    Oh and this is coming from 20+ years of pirating media. Limewire used to be the best, but now it’s firmly Spotify etc.
