    Really interested in vr, but also not really interested in paying more than a full ass console for it. Well, i guess consoles are getting way over priced these days, but you get what i mean.

      I got a Quest 1 (back when it was still supported) for cheap on ebay. PC VR and sideloaded free games and piracy have kept me afloat. I’m not even logged in to Meta’s shit.

      I was really interested in VR after trying it a bunch of times and when Microsoft did their whole partnered VR headsets thing they failed so miserably I managed to get one for like $60 brand new.

      And then I realized it works well for like an hour tech demo and playing around in short bursts but otherwise is just a TV strapped to your face, hot and sweaty and kinda uncomfortable and your eyes kinda hurt after a while and the games kinda all sucked since no one had a sense of hardware capabilities…

      It’s hyper niche and isn’t really for everyone but how could companies argue against a TV strapped to your face.
