PSVR 2 releases 2023, and Sony needs to make it gaming PC compatible
August 23, 2022 With Sony announcing the PSVR 2 for a 2023 release, we’re once again reminding you just how much we want it to be compatible with our gaming PC.
Sony has revealed that we’ll need to wait until next year for its upcoming PlayStation VR 2 headset and motion controllers. While it’s undoubtedly shaping up to be a substantial improvement over its predecessor in terms of specs, it could be even better if it works on PC too. Thanks to USB Type-C connectivity, Sony may be able to make the device compatible with gaming PCs, and it should.
The PlayStation VR 2 promises some technical advantages over even the best VR headset, like the Valve Index. It boasts 4K HDR OLED panels with a 2000×2040 resolution per eye, with supported refresh rates of 90/120Hz. These kinds of specs understandably require a lot of graphical horsepower, but if Sony were to make the device compatible with PCs, upscaling technologies like Radeon Super Resolution or Nvidia DLSS could help boost performance.
In addition to ditching the proprietary breakout box for a more universally supported USB Type-C connection, the PlayStation VR2 doesn’t require any external tracking apparatus thanks to the inside-out tracking facilitated by cameras built into the headset itself. While this isn’t quite as freeing as a wireless headset like the Oculus Quest 2, it’s clean and simple enough to make the prospect of jumping into VR far less space and time consuming.

Intel needs 7,000 workers to build its $20 billion chip plant in Ohio
Intel is building what it claims is the “largest silicon manufacturing location on the planet” in Ohio, and it’s going to need 7,000 workers to construct it, according to a report from the Associated Press. However, a labor shortage affecting the construction industry could make it hard to recruit the workers it needs for the $20 billion job, and competition for workers could slow the pace of homebuilding in the area which is needed to support the growing workforce that Intel’s plant is supposed to attract.
Intel first announced the Ohio project in January of this year and is on track to begin construction in late 2022. Once finished, the 1,000-acre site will house two factories, or fabs, and employ at least 3,000 people. But it has…
I’m an interior designer – your home needs one of these 5 elements so it doesn’t look tacky
EVEN if you live in an older home, it doesn’t have to look tacky or dated.
According to interior design experts, all you need to modernize your home are a few chic additions that will upgrade the space without costing a fortune.

Without one of the specific elements, she warned, your home may look outdated[/caption]
The team at Bustle spoke to interior expert Margaret Carroll, a professional designer, who had specific recommendations to use all over the house.
To upgrade your kitchen, install some under-cabinet lighting, which doesn’t have to take a lot of time or effort.
Your best bet is to buy a pack of adhesive LED strips from Amazon, which cost only $23.99 and are rechargeable.
“This type of lighting not only makes the kitchen look more stylish, but it also provides more light for functionality and gives it an up-to-date appearance,” Carroll said.

In the bathroom, Carroll said, you can stay on-trend and create an elevated, spa-like environment with a single item.
Swap your boring shower curtain for a fabric one, like this Amazon pick that starts at $25.
Carroll called the item “such an easy way to update a bathroom.” The varying styles include stripes, colorblocking, checkered prints, and tassels, so you can create a custom look.
In every room, you can “bring nature indoors” with faux plants, especially in one-of-a-kind containers

Repurpose a funky ceramic bowl by filling it with faux moss, $12, or stack a tiered stand with a selection of artificial succulents, $11.
Another upgrade you should have in every room is smart plugs, Carroll said, like these WiFi-enabled ones.
“Smart plugs make any home feel more modern and cutting edge,” the expert explained, and the newest models don’t require a lot of setups.
You’ll impress guests by turning on lights and music from your phone as you walk in the door, and when you aren’t entertaining, you’ll just be grateful for the convenience the $20 investment brings.
Finally, get your family photos out of storage and hang them on the wall with a chic set of matching frames.
“Filling up a large blank wall with picture frames creates a welcoming atmosphere,” Carroll said.
Plus, there’s no need to assemble a hodgepodge of frames when a set of four matching frames starts at $26.
Try an array of sizes, or mix and match the same style in different colors – your gallery will be ready for viewing in no time.

NFL Blitz returns in a thrilling new package via Arcade1Up – but the league really needs to get over itself
NFL Blitz, one of the best sporting video games ever created, is finally making a comeback in a remastered form thanks to the home arcade company Arcade1Up – marking the first new entry in the wider Blitz franchise since 2012, and the first re-release of the 90s classics since 2001.
Blitz really is something special. I suspect some of the readers of VG247 may not have even been alive when these games first released, but they’re basically the ultimate in arcade sports, alongside NBA Jam (which happens to have been headed up by some of the same development staff).
In short, Blitz takes the sport of American Football and dials everything up to 11 – making it faster, sillier, and more full-on. It was designed to provoke intense competition between friends in the arcade. And also, of course, drain you of your coins. There were a few iterations in arcades and on console between 1997 and 2001, but later entries lost much of what made the originals special.
