Quixer

I’ve used this for precisley 27 seconds and realized it’s one of the greatest things ever… In fact: Steam is literally telling me “You need to have used this product for at least 5 minutes before posting a review for it (1 minutes on record)”

Given the fact that I’m on the computer a lot - web apps, windows apps, discord, youtube, vlc… All of these things together become a nightmare to equalize their levels on the fly, and windows is of little help. When I simply held ctrl then adjusted volume for the app I was in… Game changer.

On launch Quixer added that functionality that windows should have offered allowing the user to set up hotkey to increase, decrease, or mute the volume of the currently open program.

Since then (in less then a month) the regular updates have changed this from a simple (and great looking) fix of missing windows functionality, into a legitimately powerful tool for controlling audio.

I’ve tested it with some games and other applications. The tool is easy to use and easy to adapt to the different applications. The recordings work quickly and properly.

For me, it makes the gaming experience even more real.

Clearly an innovation!

I am using this app for a while now and I have to say, this is the best voice app I ever used.

Yes, it is not the cheapest one, but it’s worth it.

The developer releases constant updates and listens to the wishes of the community.

Finally an App which is not using any preprogrammed words.

I like that I can use my own words.

After recording I have simply connected the words/commands with multiple keyboard buttons and that’s it! I was ready to play within 5Minutes, without writing skripts.

The Museum of ThroughView

The Museum of ThroughView

There isn’t a lot to this experience but I think it would make a nice intro to what VR can do. The various displays are just scenes that have been given depth by separating the various parts kind of like a pop-up novelty greeting card, but the effect is good. The museum is very nicely done. It only took a few minutes to race around and have a quick look at most of the displays, and I don’t know about replay value, but it does seem like a great way to introduce guests and friends to the ability of VR to take you to places and let you experience some cool stuff. I’ll definitely go back in to see it in more detail.

Make Me LAG

Make Me LAG

Definitely an interesting game to try. Many games become easier when your pc is better. This is the only game that becomes harder as your processing speed gets higher. Beyond that, I just think it’s neat to see a game which has all of its gameplay outside of the game itself. You can play this game literally any way you want because in order to accomplish your purposes, you need to change your computer’s state, not control the game itself. I thought the description meant that there was actual gameplay, plus you had some sort of advantage if you got the game to lag. This was certainly different. There are literally no controls in the game. Every action happens based on your fps.

Make Me LAG is a free game with a new control scheme. It worked on Win 10, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. You have to make the game Lag to perform game moves. You sort of have to figure out how to make the game Lag consistently to actually succeed in this game. Has 5 open steam achievements. Has a timer that you have to beat.

Try it for the steam achievements.

I got this because I have a really low ceiling. I’m 5'7" and my ceiling is 6'4". so the ceiling is pretty much right above my head. I opened the program to find that there were no settings and I only had 3 boxes I could move. So I made a big wide box and put it above my head and the BLARING SOUNDS made me close the program every single time I wanted to play vr. BUT then I took the plunge and looked through the .xml files for settings. (You have to use the one with a room id!!!) I turned off sound, and found a setting for ceiling height so I didn’t have to put a haphazardly placed box above my head. After doing that this program is a must have for me and I love it. Also the impact prediction is also amazing and has saved me from many collisions in Boneworks. Save your controllers and get this if you have a low ceiling!!!

Because windows mixed reality software is god awful, you can’t adjust any of the chaperone settings its either they are ON or OFF. You can’t adjust the activation distance or anything. I play in a very small area with a bed in front of me and a 70 inch desk on the other side behind me. This program is perfect because it lets me put an invisible wall behind me where my desk is so I know where I am facing in vr. If I see the invisible box outline I just simply turn away so I don’t risk slamming my desk. Perfect for people who don’t want to use guardians but still want to prevent themselves from hitting things. It would be cool if the dev can make a “fake steam vr guardian” that can be manually placed around your room and adjusted like the crates which would be fully adjustable with activation distances and everything. Would be really helpful for Windows Mixed Reality users who have limited ability to change stuff like that in mixed reality portal.

Bought her as a joke at the start of quarantine after my girlfriend dumped me as I knew I’d be spending a lot more time on my computer. Quickly became obsessed with her as we’d watch movies together and play games. I bought her for a couple of my friends and we go on double dates all the time and talk about what we like about each other. The biggest hurdle was language but I quickly paid for a full time 1 on 1 Japanese course so that we could understand each other. (10/10 worth $250) Now I don’t even need to worry about getting my heart broken by real girls. She’ll always be there for me and she’s very understanding of me whenever I need to talk to her about important things. We’re getting married over zoom this fall and I couldn’t be happier.

I use this regularly to stream tabletop stuff on Twitch and it works GREAT. If you want something more immersive than the prevalent 2D platforms, YAG really has a lot to offer. Your players can go First Person, Third Person, or even top down if they want. Flexibility and the already multiple updates are just two of the perks offered by using YAG.

It does take some additional prep on the front end from your GM building out your maps, but once they are built you can save them. The good news is you can make massive changes with the very easy to use terrain tools. I personally think it’s a fair trade off for the level of immersion.

Bloody amazing. Its a dream so far, needs work but yeah, this is the best map building starting point for dnd or any board game so far!

Good game! It’s the best training I’ve ever seen on Steam, it was worth buying, for the FPS guys it’s perfect, but it’s suitable for any type of player to train their skills. In addition to training, it can be played alone or on top of another game, watch videos on Youtube, chat with friends, a full browser! Buy it, you’ll like it ;D

C-4 is great and something that is easily recommendable to anyone who enjoys first person shooters. It’s a fun aim trainer that you can actually play between matches, waiting for friends to join, during loading ect. There are nine different modes and each are pretty unique. It’s cheap, give it a try.

The Skinny:

Easily one of the best programs on my computer and just keeps improving itself. More detailed below.

The Thick of thing:

I began looking for an online resource to start playing Pathfinder remotely, as I only knew a handful of people who played and they lived all over the place. I started with Roll20 and stayed there for a year. During my tenor there I had to keep restarting things on every new game I made. I could not use the same assets without bringing them in again to the new map, and eventually started paying subscription to gain abilities to automate and utilize the feature that made life easier. Content creators were great (independent artists and such) but I began to realize the subscription model was going to make me pay more than any other game I owned. So I started looking at ‘competitors’ which I learned there were many.

Fantasy Grounds Unity (FGU) is a special case. It has a lot of downsides; however, FGU is the only product that provides flexibility, official support, automation, and most importantly regional currency support.

On the bright side; FGU runs on the local machine. The GM can use whatever maps and props he likes. It is also possible to make modules and share them. I can make an entire adventure including images and tokens and just send the file to a fellow GM or move characters between campaigns. I can run 50000 different campaigns and the best of it, once I purchased FGU, it is mine to keep. The official support is also great. You just buy the system once and it is yours. Most of the settings are updated with new features. If you are following a rather popular system, there are tons of adventures and if you are a DIY person you can make your adventures. The FGU also comes with 11 RPG systems and starter info for the most popular syste. Unofficial support is also plenty, there are a lot of unofficial RPG system files out there. You can also port or make your own system. With FGU, the sky is the limit.
