Completely unrelated to OP, but I just discovered this and I feel a need to broadcast it from the rooftops:

If you play any jam music or find yourself needing chord or lead charts constantly, then you should absolutely get iReal Pro. It’s pricey for an app, and I have no idea if the creators are ethical people or not, but the product is incredible: https://www.irealpro.com/

This has been such a game changer for playing with new people or jamming on tunes

Nope, she’s Power Girl. While still Superman’s cousin, in this specific continuity (injustice), she’s from an alternate timeline. So it’s like half incest

You dropped this -> /s

This meme is entirely false. Tolkien stole from the Red Book of Westmarch, not the Hobbit!

That’s a very good point. Sam’s achievement shouldn’t be understated, as he is the first and last mention of any harm coming to Shelob. Beren did pass through Shelob’s birthplace in the first age as he traveled through Ered Gorgoroth (he was the only one of the children of Ilúvatar to do so), and I wonder if he crossed paths with her, as she was the final and mightiest of Ungoliant’s spawn and therefore must have had a place of dominance amongst the other great spiders there.

Imagine being a creature born of an ever yawning abyss, living for eons; and possibly the second mortal to evade your maw is not Beren, greatest of men, but rather Samwise, the humblest of the children of Ilúvatar, and not only did he evade her grasp, he wounded her and stole her finest meal in what was probably hundreds of years. Sam was truly one of the most valiant souls to ever walk Arda

There’s a couple of things wrong here

• Shelob wasn’t killed by Sam (as stated by another user). She was wounded greatly, but definitely not mortally, and she retreated back into her caves to heal
• Ungoliant (the mother of all spiders, including Shelob) did not eat “the original sun and moon”. She drank the light of the two trees which provided light to Arda before the sun and moon, causing them to rot and die.
• The two trees weren’t the original sun and moon. Before the two trees, there were the two lamps which stood on or near the poles of Arda and were the original lights of the world. I don’t think it’s fair to call either the lamps or the trees iterations of the sun and moon since the idea of a day-night cycle didn’t exist prior to the sun and moon, at least in how we think of it. During the age of the two lamps (the Spring of Arda), both lamps shone constantly (no transition for time of day). During the age of the two trees, the trees would bloom throughout the day on a cycle, alternating which one was in full bloom. This is closer to day and night, but the trees shone so brightly that dark night never existed. Plus, the trees blooms mingled twice a day, essentially creating two “noons” per day

I haven’t found any, but it’s also been a while since I’ve checked (or even played VR).

I’d recommend giving the oculus app a try via wine experimental though. Just report back here and let me know if it works 😎

ALVR works well with the quest 2 with little to no hassle (at least, no more hassle than using the oculus Windows app or VR desktop), but since it’s wireless, the compression artefacts are a bit annoying for me
