This time also includes an internal system jump to reposition closer to the extraction station (Grzimek) and the jump to to the Ega neighbour (Dyvata). It's one way to make close to a billion an hour right now in Elite Dangerous at a mostly sustainable pace with breaks over a few sessions.

Playing elite dangerous in VR, docking a large ship like the Panther Clipper requires some attention to avoid damage, especially when there is no shield to protect the ship. The VR streamer is in the bottom right corner.

I was live streaming for most of the trips, with a bit of off-stream before and after. Time was spent chatting and heading off-track with chat for a bit. I took around 7 hours total to make 6.3bn. 5.5 hours were in space flight. Average hop of flight time of 4mins. 🧵

I spent 1.2 billion to fill the carrier with Palladium. My bubble Panther Clipper holds 1236 units. These sold for 313,777,140cr at Ega CG prices. That's a total of 7,468,801,920 minus 1,193,261,592 for profit of 6,275,540,328. 🧵

Elite Dangerous creates great nerd stats for the current trading opportunities around the CG Market conditions in Ega. I'm making a sustainable 1 bn/h credits. Log says I made 20 transfers station-carrier, and sold with a 2-jump loop with the Calculated RISC carrier at the jump-in point... 🧵 #pcvr

My Carrier, Calculated RISC, piloted by CMDR Ellie Acorn, is now in operation. I'm left with 2bn to play with. The new CG will pay back the cost and provide upkeep for years over the next couple weeks. #elitedangerous #pcvr #vr

I don't see how hard it is to believe. But folks with doubt: Valve are still selling Index controllers in the UK. But more expensive than they used to be but isn't everything?

000

Until further evidence comes to light by people more clever, astute and awake after 15 hours of not sleeping, I can be reasonably sure that I'm not giving permission for my stream to be used for Amazon's AI training. Can't stop 3rd party scraping, but at least I'm not willfully contributing.

000

Amazon loops back to their own "Generative AI Development Disclosure". Which we've already seen. So I guess, that's everything? For now. A lot of reading. Thinking commences. We're already spotting omissions, and cleverly worded loopholes. There's always a catch. Afterall, Twitch is "free"...

000

As expected, ti's a rabbit hole of nested texts and references. The first link is pretty much sales (www.aboutamazon.com/what-we-do/a...) so nothing to see there, but correct me if I'm wrong. However, Amazon Privacy Notice be relevant, so I'll scan it legal.twitch.com/legal/privac...

100

Highlighted in the privacy notice, a reference to this page www.amazon.com/gp/help/cust... the rest of the doc is clear of further reference or mention. So over to the mothership's website to trawl through more T&Cs.

#notraining I got no beef with automod, it's the lifting of game content that I would have to square. Opting out seems to be solid.

100

If I opt out my "streams, VODs, clips, stream chats, and pictures and text on your channel will not be used in future training of a model developed by Amazon whose purpose is to generate or synthesize text, audio, images, or video."

Much? Clearly any game getting THAT much attention should be expecting better sales with a far longer tail in order to avoid being labeled "overhyped". Compare a game with a tiny fraction of EXD's attention. Battlegroup VR2. Sitting at 197 reviews. It's been out longer, but received tiny coverage.

100

KroyVR @kroyvr.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Hype-clamour demands VR gets BIG narrative games. Hypetubers exclaim EXDs virtues. Result? 180 reviews in English, 300 total. Likely a few thousand sales. This says much about fragmented market preference of PCVR, price sensitivity & lots about pitfalls of hype store.steampowered.com/app/3962020/

There is a growing trend in recent VR releases on Steam to state compatibility with Meta headsets only. My response is hitting the ignore button on your Steam page. I offer all PCVR devs the opportunity to have your game tested with Index controllers. If you would like assistance, reach out.

Here's a timely example where Twitch content providers end up by suggesting it will train its AI on the platforms stream. There's clearly a "no-commercial use" clause forbidding anything that isn't "fair dealing" or "fair use". Twitch is going to have to sort through legal minefields on our behalf

Somewhere around four hours from just outside the bubble. I got in some planet scanning, and a bit of time sorting out route planning with a handy app pasting the next jump in a Spansh planner into clipboard on arrival. Great for VR. #elitedangerous #pcvr

Just been informed the current Elite Dangerous CG's are actually FOUR, each offering the excellent expanded cargo rack. I'm glad I already started the journey. It's great to be back out in the black in VR, this time with local dimming making it look even better. So far, ~30mins from a cold start

Valheim VR just overtook VR Skater on my most played list on Steam to take fifth place in my favourites. I'm not done with VR Skater, but Valheim VR has me hooked with the combination of exploring, building, and levelling. It could be a while till I'm back to competing in the streets. #pcvr

@dortamur.online released his amazing VR UEVR Enhancements for Satisfactory 1.2. Instructions are available on the F2VR Discord discord.gg/McGntxN43a. Well worth the effort to setup. VR adds depth, scale and new found appreciation for all Ada approved and non-approved factories. #pcvr #satisfactory

Welp @teamrazer.bsky.social, you have a last chance to redeem yourself in the eyes of a customer of well over a decade. Inviting reply by email only to send an immediate automated response of "case closed" is exceptionally poor customer service.

DOA eh? People don't realise what niche "success" looks like. Bigscreen Beyond is a working company putting food on the table and they "only" just hit 50k over three years which is only enough to get one of their headsets a 1.2% share on Steam. I look forward to hearing your take.

"pervert glasses"? They missed out on "Specs Offender".

A-Z in PCVR. We're at C. Convrgence, cyubeVR and Crystal Riders. Two games that have little in common, other than having a bow to shoot deer, and one extraction shooter. At least two by solo devs. There's a lot to pick from "C" in PCVR. Any suggestions from what you've played, or wishlishted?
