Probably the angled screens. Didn't use or keep mine for long enough to get headaches, sold it based on my initial gut/eyeball reaction.

Yeah as another experiment I put a piece of paper in front of my left eye to remove IPD setting as a variable and it still caused eye strain and some motion sickness. Eugh.

Didn't really get any of that on the 8k in about half an hour of use but if they can't get rid of the edge distortions I don't reckon its worth expanding fov

Pokerstarsvr is fun in the goofiest way. Some people take it very seriously which is hilarious to me.

Real Serious Pokerbros are hilarious in any situation, but in a VR game where you play with fake money, dress as goofily as possible and throw tiny donkeys at each other, their earnestness is extra hilarious.

Just chill with people and make stupid bets with your fake money. Then take that tiny donkey and make it smoke a cigarette. This is the essence of Pokerstars

Don’t go all in pre-flop. Don’t play only obviously good hands and nothing else, bluffing is part of the game.

Doing those things is just boring/annoying.

When I say stupid bets I mean don’t fold on a 2-7 off suit, stick around to see what happens

7-7-2 flops can happen if you believe in yourself

To be fair if you join a room and 5/6 of the people at the table are slamming their fists on the table chanting "All in all in!" every round while throwing donkeys and cigars everywhere it may be best to find another room for more serious poker lol

You're telling me. I've been lazy moving back to my rift from my Vive Pro and hahahaha my rounds on those fuckin vive wands.

If it wasnt such a pain in the dick to swap mid stream I'd def be on my rift more outside of saber.

You should try out https://github.com/matzman666/OpenVR-InputEmulator I think it should let you setup your Touch controllers as emulated Vive controllers, it seems like sort of hacky and annoying but might be worth it if you're using your Pro a lot. I haven't tried it myself but was considering doing it if the Pimax was good but, uh, yeah.

The issue with that is games not supporting more than X# of virtual objects and stuff. So 2 light houses + 4 Sensors + 2 controllers + headset + potentially LIV trackers = Way more than some engines can handle?

Saq was dicking with a similar thing with some game, I forget. But he's been all kinds of crazy with setups lately.

I might mess with it though. I really hate the wiimotes outside of saber. For Saber, Love em. Claw grips op. But oof trying to reload say, a pistol.

EDIT: Do love my pro though. Comfy, and if you can literally set the money on fire its nice. Still wouldn't recommend it for average joe though.

I'll second this despite it's moronically, terrible name.

I've played lots of Echo Combat VR but the gunplay sucks imho and the TTK is way too high which is fair because that's the kind of game it is. You need to play smarter and work well with your team. It's a good game especially if you want to get your Ender's Game feels going. Nothing beats flying upside down and backwards blasting away with your Pulsar or hanging off the ceiling in a hard to see spot sniping people with your Comet.

Contractors is in a good spot for me. I dislike CSGO. I dislike ARMA3. (Pavlov, Onward respectively in my mind) but I played a TON of Insurgency which hits right at home to me for Contractors. Gunplay feels good, movement feels goods. Get it while it's still on sale!

Since we’re talking contractor$, how does it run if you don’t meet the CPU requirements?

I have the 1060 gpu and more than enough ram, but i have a Ryzen 5 1400.

Here is how it compares to their minimum CPU: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-7600K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1400/2919vs2992

Have you got a B or X-series motherboard and decent cooling? It'd be a lot more comparable when overclocked. 3.8-3.9Ghz is usually possible with the stock cooler, given your case has good airflow.

There is something wrong with your 5k, mine is amazing and I've had it for a few weeks now, by far the best headset out there bar none. I would instantly recommend it over any other barring that you have the computer for it. I just came back playing for several hours.

I could never go back to any 110 degree fov headsets ever again.

For sure get the Rift. So many more options. Beatsaber is on PC and Borderlands 2 will be when the Sony exclusivity agreement runs out.

The headset is more or less identical to the Vive Pro/Odessy in image quality except with lcd so a little bit worse blacks but the lenses are super good and you can actually look around in it.

The only "jank" is some distortion way in the periphery of the image, which was also improved a lot in the last firmware update. Now I don't even notice it at all while playing.

It certainly doesn't cause more eye fatigue than the rift or the vive.

They still have some software issues to fix Onward looks like crap for some reason in it, but my Vive Pro is on the shelf and hasn't been touched since I got it.

Contractors is amazing in it.

What's the scoring system for Soundboxing? I've been able to complete several songs at normal speed without missing a beat but my score tends to hover around 75% of the global leaderboards. Like 5 mill for me vs 7.5 mill for the global #1 score.

So what you mean to say is that there is jank, and you have a high tolerance of it?

Everyone's perception is different, issues that may be small to you may be significant to others. This is compounded greatly by VR where visual defects can trigger nausea.

No, what I'm saying is that there is probably something wrong with lemmings 5k, which isn't extremely unlikely, if he experience that much eye fatigue.
