Pay close attention to the Oculus Link spec requirements and compatible graphics cards, however. The Oculus Quest 2 isn’t too far behind it though, and can also be connected to a PC or laptop to work as a PCVR headset if you pay extra for a relevant cable (or you can brave the wireless connection option if you’re confident about your WiFi). If money (and space) is no object, then the Valve Index is certainly the way to go, offering as it does the most impressive experience on the market. Winner: Valve Index Oculus Quest 2 vs Valve Index: Verdictīoth headsets shine in different ways. You might not get those Oculus exclusives, but to be honest, that’s no huge loss. Specs are limited only by the hardware you’ve plugged it into, so theoretically, no VR game is out of reach (so long as your machine is powerful enough). The zero gravity multiplayer future sport title Echo VR is a fun, Oculus exclusive and free!Īs a headset dependent on external hardware, the Valve Index gives you access to the huge amount of PCVR games available. Another Star Wars title for example, Tales From The Galaxy’s Edge, is (for now, at least) an Oculus exclusive. While many former exclusives have been ported to other formats since launch, such as the three-part Star Wars experience Vader Immortal, a small number remain.

You do at least get the critically-acclaimed Half Life: Alyx included… A package with everything you need – headset, controllers, and base stations – will set you back a wallet-burning $999/£919. The Valve Index offers a luxury experience for what is very much a luxury price. You get absolutely everything you need to get started in the box. The cheapest version is $299/£299, and the more expensive version (with 256GB storage rather than 128GB) is $399/£399. There’s no two ways about it: This is an easy win for the Oculus Quest 2. (Image credit: Oculus) Oculus Quest 2 vs Valve Index: Cost The end result is a luxury VR experience. In addition to that, the Index’s 12GB memory is double that of the Quest 2, and the use of base stations – while a pain to set up – results in excellent space and motion detection. The Index offers a best-in-class field of view (more important than resolution to many VR users) of 130 degrees against the Quest 2’s 89 degrees. After this, although both headsets are capable of displaying 120 Hz, Valve’s offering starts to pull away with little trouble. Surprisingly, the significantly cheaper Quest 2 offers a higher resolution per eye, at 1832 x 1920 per eye versus the Valve Index’s 1440 x 1600. Winner: Oculus Quest 2 Oculus Quest 2 vs Valve Index: Specs The motion tracking is very impressive, but you need to work for it. Also, as a room-scale headset, you need sufficient space in your play area in order to place physical base stations for the headset to ‘see’. It does nothing by itself, depending on a PC or laptop with the required software (and specs) to function. However, the Valve Index is the polar opposite of the Quest 2’s pick-up-and-play experience. The number of games and apps that support this is relatively small, but it’s an impressive innovation. The second indication is that the controllers, which at a brief glance seem similar to those of the Quest 2, can track the movement of individual fingers. There’s also a second dial that moves the lenses closer to or further from your eyes, the first indication that this is a luxury piece of kit. The Valve Index has a superior headset strap, with a dial to easily tighten or loosen it. Instance "m:hi:1": Width narrower than recommended for a level 3 MOSFET.

Yet whatever inherent truths the show explores – marriage is hard, the magic/romance fades, etc. It’s a tactic premium networks have tried periodically, usually with mixed results. Granted, that push-the-envelope approach has worked before in terms of garnering attention, and “Sex/Life” - with the title’s either/or implications - might operate for some viewers as the TV equivalent of a trashy summer read, those novels with airbrushed shirtless perfection gracing the cover. The concept actually might work better if everyone wasn’t so conspicuously gorgeous, reinforcing a sense that the goal is less to relate to these characters – and this latest made-for-TV version of a desperate housewife – than simply to ogle them. Under the stewardship of producer Stacy Rukeyser (whose credits include the underappreciated “UnReal”), “Sex/Life” takes off in all kinds of ridiculous directions thereafter, leaving one of two choices: accept the show on its wacky terms, like the sexual version of a “Fast and Furious” movie, or check out what else is trending. Sarah Shahi and Adam Demos in 'Sex/Life' (Courtesy of Netflix). Nor does Brad remain strictly a figment of Billie’s past, coming back into her orbit in an unexpected way that tests her repeated insistence about how happy she is and what a wonderful life she and Cooper have built together. Inspired by the book “44 Chapters About 4 Men” by BB Easton, the eight-episode series features Shahi (last seen on “Person of Interest”) as Billie Connelly, seemingly living a life of suburban bliss with her two young children and Adonis-like husband, Cooper (Mike Vogel), a budding Master of the Universe (in author Tom Wolfe’s literary coinage) whose career has taken precedence over her own.Īppearances aside, Cooper has become a person of little interest (a mini-Cooper, if you will) in their marital bed, prompting Billie to begin reminiscing and fantasizing about her carefree, club-hopping youth as a single gal in Manhattan with friend Sasha (Margaret Odette), who’s still living that life while reminding Billie how good she has it.īillie, however, is less convinced, thinking a lot about former boyfriend Brad (Adam Demos), an Australian sex god/record executive with whom she enjoyed soul-shattering, spine-tingling, gauzy-montage-worthy encounters, even writing a journal detailing their trysts that her husband, naturally, finds. Alas, thanks to the overwrought Harlequin Romance trappings, there’s a lot more guilt here than pleasure. Having caused a sensation with steamy and explicit sex on “Bridgerton,” Netflix dips into that genre again - minus the costumes - in “Sex/Life.” Sarah Shahi stars as a wife and mother in the throes of a not-quite-midlife crisis, pining for all the wild sex she used to have. Mindy Kaling is a brilliant television creator, but these weaknesses that are sprinkled throughout her coming-of-age rom-com’s climactic act were a disappointing vibe check for the audience. Many noticed that Devi’s friend Aneesa (Megan Suri) and Kamala’s (Richa Moorjani) love interest Manish (Utkarsh Ambudkar) were also left out to dry in the last batch of episodes. The issue with Ethan is just one example of the ways Never Have I Ever struggled to show the entire picture of their talented cast throughout season four. It would be nice for actors of color such as Cimino, who have equally impressive LGBTQ+ roles under their belts, to be desirable and portrayed with thematic theft in other series instead of cardboard side shows in the shadow of the protagonist. Joe Locke of Heartstopper, for example, landed the role of Wiccan in the Disney+ series Agatha: Coven of Chaos. It’s also somewhat troubling that Cimino is struggling to achieve greater fame after delivering a vital and inspiring performance in a queer television series. There’s not a lot of time to perform a deep dive on a brand new character in the last season of a 10 episode show, but then maybe you shouldn’t put novel actors into a program in the first place if you’re not going to do them proper justice. Perhaps racism or bullying are a factor in his outcome. Maybe his struggles as a racial minority contribute to his behavior in school. Just like Devi’s experiences as an Indian-American teen are brought to light, if they would have used Ethan for more than just eye-candy, we could have been a lot more informed about why he makes the decisions he does. By the nature of Cimino’s ethnicity, he’s one of the only Mexican-American actors on this show. This allowed Cimino to show off a lot more range, yet the team behind Never Have I Ever took a completely contrarian route in their depiction of Ethan. Victor tries to do the right thing, he isn’t the main catch in school, and many different aspects of his character are examined beyond just his love life. But considering the acting talents of Cimino and the vital Latino representation of the character, perhaps Ethan’s flat characterization should have been rounded out much better.Ĭimino is the exact opposite of Ethan Morales in the skin of Victor Salazar. He served his purpose as a distraction while Devi wrapped her head around Paxton being in her past and Ben being in her future. His tempting orbit would attract even the most focused of people, and certainly someone so excited to join a romantic union like Devi. Most of the time in the earlier seasons, Devi wouldn’t be able to resist a man like Ethan. Ethan was used as a plot device for Devi, showing her growth and better sense of judgment throughout the show. This is why his miniscule presence in the fourth season was a glaring “what if?” as the show came to a close. He also showed he was capable of empathy and being a good partner to Devi throughout his short stint on the show. Ethan likes to vandalize vehicles, manipulate situations to his advantage, and win women over with his incredible smile and toned physique. Ethan Morales (Michael Cimino) is a bad boy in every sense of the word. It made complete sense then that the show brought another heartthrob into the picture for the first half of the final season. From the love triangle of her, Ben Gross (Jaren Lewison), and Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet), to the intermediary love interest of Des (Anirudh Pisharody) in season three, Devi has no issues attracting young men of all types.
