I became an Amazon delivery goblin and barely lived to tell the tale Deadly Delivery is the VR take on the friendslop genre that I needed.

I *love* Deadly Delivery. It's an incredibly fun co-op multiplayer game where you deliver packages to cave denizens who apparently enjoy doing everything in their power to stop said packages from getting delivered.

OnePlus is more important than you think, especially for people like me Competition in the U.S. smartphone market is already on a fragile edge, and only one company makes flagships that work for flicker-sensitive people.

For some of us, the "smartphone wars" are personal. Brands like OnePlus are more than just an alternative; they are the only option for flicker-sensitive users wanting a flagship experience, especially in North America where options are severely limited.

My frustration with Meta is twofold, for sure. One, they chase these trends too hard and too fast way too often. Pivoting is the company's MO. Two, they've pigeonholed the VR market and giving up like this hurts everyone, not just their billions in investments.

This is a lovely, positive take on the whole thing, and I really appreciate that! The OG Rift CV1 was definitely not open, though. I had to run third party mods just to play Oculus games on my Vive, so closed ecosystems are nothing new for Meta.

This is the best advice. Truly. Some of the best things are born out of hardship.

The lack of leadership and vision here is truly astounding. It's even worse that so many outlets continue to praise AI glasses' "success" while simultaneously decrying Quest for "having contributed absolutely nothing" over the years. Makes me genuinely angry at my colleagues in other publications.

If anyone in the VR industry wants to chat about today's layoffs, my DMs are open. Going to write more in depth about things this Thursday.

Poetry. I hate that reality doesn't sound as beautiful.

As we approach Cyber Monday, those deals move around a bit. Best Buy isn't offering the Quest 3 sale anymore, but Amazon is! That's a $75 Amazon gift card included with every Quest 3 purchase.

It's also happening to other Meta products like Ray-Ban and Oakley glasses, in case you need more of a reason to do this!

Too many Meta Quest users are losing access to their headsets because of linked Facebook accounts. Here's how you can protect yourself and prevent a terrible situation from ruining your year Meta makes it easy to link all your accounts together, but one problem could poison the whole well.

A PSA reminder: do NOT link Meta/Facebook/Instagram/etc accounts when you use a Meta Quest. It's a great way to lose access to all the stuff you've bought if Facebook ever bans your social media account.

The Quest 3 comes with a $75 gift card from Best Buy on Black Friday. This headset *never* goes on sale, so this is a huge deal if you're looking to get Meta's best.

PSVR 2 + Horizon Call of the Mountain is $299 right now. Considering how many other insanely good VR games are available on PSVR 2 (Hitman, Resident Evil 7/8, Gran Turismo, Pools, etc), this is an astounding deal!

Meta is piloting a trade-in program for Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses — here's how it works You can exchange Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 or earbuds for a discounted pair of Meta glasses.

It's been a *long* time coming, but Meta finally has a trade-in program to get you a new pair of Oakley Meta or Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses for less. I'm super happy to finally see this and hope they extend it to Quest!

It's a fairly typical "give up freedom/privacy for convenience" type of thinking

All very good points. This same problem exists with a lot of tech companies right now, too, and have long been problems that people have widely ignored.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is the perfect evolution of one of my favorite strategy games of all time, and now this expansive sequel redefines what I thought was possible Demeo grows up and expands its horizons in my game of the year pick for the Meta Quest platform.

There have been a ton of GREAT VR games this year, but Demeo x D&D Battlemarked is my VR GOTY. I already loved Demeo's turn-based strategy formula, and this steps it up about 10 notches. Voiced NPCs, multiple campaigns, impressive locale variety, and more

The OnePlus 15's display combines the best smart eye care features and an insanely smooth refresh rate to achieve the best display quality to date. Samsung and Apple should take notes With a 165Hz refresh rate, a bevy of eye care features, and a new touch response chip, this is the most impressive smartphone display to date.

I also have a written review with a more detailed breakdown and analysis at Android Central:

OnePlus 15 display review — PWM, dithering, and 165Hz gaming refresh rate tests!
OnePlus 15 display review — PWM, dithering, and 165Hz gaming refresh rate tests! YouTube video by Nick Sutrich

The OnePlus 15's display is the best all-around flagship OLED on any smartphone. Primarily for me, that includes a focus on *eye care* versus nonsense lab tests that require nasty crap like low-frequency PWM dimming or color dithering to win.

I've tested the OnePlus 15, and it's more iPhone than ever, but it leans so hard into the brand's best traits that I can't ignore its greatness The OnePlus 15 packs a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 165Hz OLED screen, IP69K resistance rating, 7,300mAh battery, and plenty more impressive specs packed inside a redesigned frame.

This is the OnePlus 15, a phone that gets *a lot* right despite what might appear like compromises on the surface. It's not the knock-down-drag-out win I thought the OnePlus 13 was, but it's still one of the best flagship phones you can buy today.
