December 2023
Pupdate
I already wrote about Milo’s lymphoma going into remission, which is good :)
We’re probably hitting more setbacks due to low neutrophils than last time around, but the whole process has (sadly) become routine, so it’s all less emotional and dramatic.
Despite a succession of named storms we managed to get in some good long walks.
Full Fibre Internet
I already wrote about the saga of getting it installed, but after over a week of use I’m very pleased with the service. Download speeds are ridiculously quick now for some stuff. Latency and jitter also seem to be improved, which gives an overall impression of better quality.
Solar Diary
This December was much cloudier than last year :(
Beating Beat Saber
I played a little Beat Saber at the start of the month. Despite controller updates the tracking still isn’t perfect, but it’s certainly improved.
The new VI levels are a lot of fun :)
But… I’ve been trying some other Quest games:
Gun Club VR
I got an email saying there was £5.70 of credit on my Oculus account so I took a look at the store to see what that would buy me. Gun Club VR was one of the many games in the holiday sale, and the £2.29 it cost me might be the best value I’ve ever found in gaming.
It’s provided many hours of entertainment so far. The only thing that’s more fun than shooting zombies is shooting Nazi zombies :)
I can see myself buying some DLC levels if only to unlock the AR15.
Asgard’s Wrath 2
I didn’t play the original, as it was a PC VR title, but this was bundled with the Quest 3, and released this month.
I’ve only played just past the intro scenes, but so far it’s very impressive and shows high production values and good gameplay.
Fruit Ninja 2
I didn’t bother with the original as I’d played the iPad version and it seemed like too much overlap with Beat Saber.
The new version adds archery, and after my 15m of free trial it was an easy choice to hit the buy button.
