Playing thrill of the fight, boxvr and beat saber would cause my right controller to lose tracking and it was incredibly distracting and frustrating. I found this thread a couple days ago. Which confirmed a lot of my suspicions.

I read through a lot of it, and i found what seems to be a quick "fix" to it. Though i would have loved to reply to that original post it is now archived.

The main culprit is if you have top end batteries like Energizer or Duracell they tend to be relatively heavier than the stock/cheaper batteries and its enough to cause the battery to compress the spring resu

Have a room essentially set up for vr and using quest.

I've already stubbed my toe against the wall because there was an item I had to bend down to grab.

Tried again and a little while later fell a different wall.

I have no other problem with any other game.

Superhot looks like so much fun, I feel so let down and about to get a refund.

Full-Blown Alcoholics In the book "Alcoholics Anonymous: The Big Book" alcoholism is referred to several times as "a hopeless condition of mind and body."

This is not referring to someone who simply has a drinking problem, or on occasion drinks too much, or someone who has developed a mild alcohol use disorder.

It refers to people who are full-blown alcoholics, described by Dr. William D. Silkworth in the Big Book:

"All these, and many others, have one symptom in common: they cannot start drinking without developing the phenomenon of craving. This phenomenon, as we have suggested, may be the manifestation of an allergy which differentiates these people, and sets them apart as a distinct e

At least the ones ive been attending. Not even speaking about the teenagers that come in and troll.

People seem to be even more self absorbed online than in person. We had a step 2 meeting last night and for the remainder of the meeting no one spoke on the reading at all, it was just people venting about their personal problems.

Also if you ramble for an excessive amount of time and then proceed to say "sorry for rambling" doesn't excuse it. That's like saying, "with all due respect" before you blatantly insult someone.

Anyone have information on zoom meetings in different countries, like Ireland, England, Australia etc..?

I'd really like to use this unique experience to enjoy other meetings and people.

I was bad when I drank, from the time I was 16 to when i stopped at age 29. Presently i'm 35 with 6 years sober from alcohol.

When I was younger i would smoke but i always hated the feeling.. the paranoia, anxiety the dissociative state it would put me in.

About 6 months ago i decided to give marijuana another try and experimented with some indica. For the most part it was "ok" not my drug of choice by far, but good for my insomnia.

However something happened. I realized i didnt enjoy recovery (AA) anymore and didnt feel at home. At first i thought it could be guilt, but weed never came close to putting me in the situations alcohol did, nor any consequences, hangover, jackpots,compulsions

yeah this might trigger some AA mainliners.

I was going everyday for about 4 months because I got bamboozled out of a job. Haven't had a drink in 7 years.

So anyways I started school up to transition into a new career. Afterall im 35 years old and can't just not work like the old timers and "special" people you find in nooners that are unable to work. At some point I need to get a life, at least a job.

Last day off on President's day i had it off and the amount of passive aggressive attitude i received from a lot of the group members really put me off.

"why are you trying to work so hard, have gratitude and live and let live?"

A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. "
