>Is it going to make Windows stop spamming me to update to 10?

If I remember correctly, there actually is a way to fix that. It involves editing update patch files or something. Just google it, 'cause I can't explain it properly.

What did you think it was gonna cost?
The DK2 was, what? - 720p? They obviously noted that they could not ship a product with major screendoor effect and pixelated graphics, hence releasing the finished product in 2k 90hz.
This alone will price it as a good monitor, never mind the headtracking, controls and gadgets.

Besides, this is gen 1 VR. Enthusiasts who buy it now pays a premium for exlusive tech. This is really not made for a mass market. If you're not willing to pay for the tech, don't.
Wait for gen 2 or 3 when it will be more accessible to the public and better priced.

The $600 includes the full system, an Xbox One controller, Eve: Valkyrie and Lucky's Tale

Still pretty steep but a small price jump would have been accepted with all this.

It also includes the Oculus Remote which apparently costs $50 on it's own? and a sensor so a little more acceptable

$300 for dev kit stuff, $50ish in cables, $50 for sensor, $50 for remote, $60 game, $40 game.

that's $550ish. Kind of acceptable.

In one of my calls, I had an "NETWORK EXPERT SO I ALREADY DID EVERYTHING" call in, and took 30 minutes to get him to do anything.

His ethernet connection kept dropping out every 2-5 seconds. He said he did ping tests, tracerts, yadayada (basically shit I don't give a shit about because I already knew his problem) and said that it was the "shitty god damn computer."

Well, I finally got him to change his ethernet connection to half duplex with about 6 really easy clicks. Boom, fixed.

I can stand ignorance, or just lack of knowledge. I'm okay with teaching people. But when people are an unwarranted asshole to me, I have a fucking problem with it.

Oh, I hated the dicks too. This guy just made me laugh. Just the way he said "My name is Marv and I'm mad," at the beginning of the call. I nearly busted out laughing. And unlike some customers, he didn't immediately start screaming at me or insult me. He was just kinda rude, and obviously pissed off.

Yeah, it was always a rarity when someone was mad and not screaming. A nice rarity, mind you. I was cool with it, I'd've been mad in their shoes too.

Lol threading virginity of daughter and girlfriend. I'd assume if you have a daughter your girlfriend is not a virgin. Also if you did have a daughter, he'd pretty much be calling himself a pedo. Why do these people exist

My favorite call working tech support was just full of great moments. Some super fucking old guy called in whit no sound on his TV. Started off with "My name is Marv, and I'm mad." I asked him why, and he told me the issue, then immediately told me to send a tech out to fix it. I told him that would be a 145 dollar Dispatch on Demand charge, and politely suggested he allow me to walk him through trouble shooting. His response, "Well it's not gonna be a Dispatch on Demand, you just need to send a tech out here." You know, demanding that I dispatch a tech to his residence. Not a Dispatch on Demand at all. Eventually I was able to convince him that I wasn't jut trying to screw him over and legitimately couldn't dispatch a tech without charging him. (Which I couldn't until I'd run through troubleshooting.)

So, looking at his information, I saw he had 2 tvs set up in the house, found out the issue was only on one of them and he hadn't just muted it, so I needed to figure out if it was the main or auxiliary box that was malfunctioning. Told him the easiest way to tell was the main box is larger. "I don't know. You're gonna need to come up with another way to tell." Fuckin wat. This motherfucker can't look at 2 things and determine which one is larger??

He guesses it's the main box, we move on. I have him reboot the damn thing. "Hey, it works again." *click*

Some people.

Those were always the calls I hated, the ones where people are just being dicks while you're trying to help them. I have no problem with ignorance: I actually liked teaching people, it helped me feel like I was making a difference (and got my surveys up to astronomical levels), or even when they don't want to learn, as long as they accept that this is my area of expertise and I'm trying to do them a solid, I'm cool.

I had a guy call in with no connectivity who decided he was an expert at this stuff and any time I started in on something, he'd get pissy with me with a "Yeah, yeah, I know that already, I'm not some idiot." He also tried to tell me I was wrong on a few basic things, like what the reset button on his modem did.

Finally I had enough and decided to treat him like he wanted. "Oh, GREAT, sir! I'm sorry, it's just that most people I talk to don't know a whole lot about their computer. What I'm going to need you to do is run a IP con, make sure you're not running a bogus IP, and then I'm probably going to need you to ping the 8's for me and give me the dropped."

He got real quiet, then finally in a soft voice said "Uh... could... could you walk me through that, please?"

The rest of the call was lovely, and he thanked me at the end of it.

Here's what I understand;
I get that the fundamental story is that the universe is pissed at Chloe for whatever reason and intends to kill her all the same, or destroy everything around her trying. I get this is supposed to translate to some antithesis to the whole basis of choice.
I still think it's utterly lazy and manipulative that they ride the "YOUR CHOICES TAILOR EVERYTHIIIING" marketing wagon. The fact nothing but a few texts comes from a choice as supposedly big in magnitude as deciding how far Warren should beat Prescott is pretty dumb. In fact, nothing having to do with either Nathan Prescott or Veronica, two relationships that you gradually build up and around, have absolute dick in reflection to the ending. They barely make any sort of appearance.
The final episode just seemed horribly rush and the more you look at it the more the whole universe refuses to let you have a choice at some matters is a real cop-out for a game of this genre.

Alright, that's fair. It seems to me to be a game about being unable to escape fate without major consequences, but I can see where you're coming from. I guess I'm just used to going into point and click games like these knowing that they have a story to tell, and the ending can't change too much.
