And it’s really great, seconded. Grashnak posted:I've got the AMVR grips on my quest 2 and they work fine. I'm not a huge fan of the strap though, the top mounting point is slightly too far forward so the strap sits right on top of my knuckles which I don't love. My hands are probably on the larger end of things though, if you have smaller hands the straps may well be fine. They're also a little bit stiff to get pushed on all the way but they do fit fine. Thank you for the info! I’m a little unclear though - is this the AMVR grip made for Quest 1 that they now say “works” for quest 2 or is this the AMVR grip designed specifically for quest 2? Also, are the straps mandatory? Can you just use the grip with the Velcro ring attachment to increase the thickness for large hand havers?

I haven't heard of tales of glory until now and holy poo poo I really want this. I do have Into the Radius but I stopped right after doing the tutorial cause I was updating my vr stuff, should get back into it

At the same time I'm not so certain that it's indicative of the whole game though.

Woah, once you get into Gold ranking, Blaston is a different game! Some people are really good, and it makes you sweat in a few minutes. In fact, Oculus Move really isn't make the best job in guessing calories spent, because 10 minutes of playing Blaston tires me more than 15 minutes of Beat Saber, and still it gives me less calories than not 15, but 10 minutes of BS. Crouching to the ground and jumping around with the full body is more complete excercise than just flailing around your arms. BTW, I love how creative you can get with the VR equivalent of victory dances/dancing emotes. You can not talk in the game, there is no mic, but you still can express yourself by amusing gestures like: spinning around egyptian dance thumbs up or down shaking the head hands to the groin fist bump hands to the head etc. You get the idea.

Can you just use the grip with the Velcro ring attachment to increase the thickness for large hand havers? I've got these ones specifically which I think is the quest 1 version. The straps are a separate piece that you need to install so you can just leave them off if you want.

SirTagz posted:Thanks! Looks useful. But I did not see any FPS overlay or something like that in there. Do you just pull up your regular screen and look at the SteamVR refresh rate number? OVR Toolkit has a little box you can tick to add fps and cpu/gpu/memory/vram percentages onto your back of the hand display, but it's more a tool for making windows (discord) pop up in VR when you want them to. fpsVR looks like this

Very convenient way to get this info, versus the less elegant free methods.

I was having a pretty good game of Population One and then I got killed by the number one kills overall player who plays 16 hours a day. At least I did some damage to him! In, say, Fortnite, that would not be the case.

The Room VR was decent, it continues the trend of the series of being less and less the type of game that the original The Room was, though I did like the last segment having some little revisits to old Room locations

the only The Room game I want for VR is Silent Hill 4: The Room... then again I would probably be too chickenshit to play it. Even LambdaVR is a bit too freaky

The first game would be pretty much perfect for a Roomscale experience with teleport points.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Vapelifeyo? Nice Yep! I’ve been watching him here and there and figuring out some useful pointers while ignoring his bog standard abrasive high skill persona. Also picked up Blaston and I’m gonna be surprised if this doesn’t blow up a little. Great mechanics with balance updates every month or faster, quick games, a non toxic community. Easy to learn with a high skill ceiling, it has enough weapons and load outs you build up to keep it fresh, and as I mentioned the meta is evolving at a good taste. On top of that it’s the second best workout game I’ve found (though I basically only look for games that are a good workout, not workout focused apps) after Thrill of the Fight. And it’s only $10. Why aren’t you trying it? Go on, git!

Until You Fall rules, god drat. It's real satisfying going in with some upgraded weapons and just tossing dudes left and right that you used to have trouble with.

So I got the replacement facial interface from Oculus, and it's definitely more comfortable than the rash-inducing foam, but pleather doesn't soak up sweat, so it also doesn't stop the lenses from fogging up. Are there any good third party alternatives?

You could get a silicon cover from vrcover.com or someplace like that. It won't absorb any sweat but it may do a good job keeping sweat out. I got a silicon cover for my index for visitors and/or people wearing makeup.

I'll second the silicon cover. It makes wiping down the mask way easier.

I bought one, it's fine, slightly more comfortable but yeah, fogs up just as much as the standard one and also leaves me with vertical lines on my forehead where the pleather is bent.

Its a bit of a catch-22. You can get a more moisture resistant insert but youll be prone to more fogging... People on the Supernatural Facebook(!!!!) group have reported good results with getting their mask warm prior to using it, and other more adventurous people have rubbed soap on the lenses which they claim works well. I dont recommend the soap but putting your mask in a warm place for a few minutes before you put it on seems like a good solution

Yeah he’s definitely a cocky shithead a lot of the time but man is he good at the game. Like head and shoulders above everyone else. I’ve actually taken to watching the smaller streamers, like DirtySixxer because they employ skills that a mere mortal can also use. Vape is tough to emulate because it’s like, well, how DO I manage to hipfire an mp5 and land every single shot to hit someone for all their health at a half a mile away? Vape does it, but I’m not entirely sure how. I’m sure at least part of it is playing Pop1 is literally his job and he basically does it every waking moment The smaller streamers are more like us mere mortals in my experience, and I’ve learned a lot from them. It has marginally improved my game from dumpster fire to dumpster camp fire.

Is Star Trek Bridge Crew worth trying if I'm not going to be able to get a full group together for it? I have a buddy of mine buying a Quest and we talked about playing Bridge Crew because we're both super into TNG right now but I'm seeing some reviews say that there's no AI so you need to fill in empty spaces with randos? I'd like to not have to do that if possible, but sounds like maybe it's not. Also is the game good for a couple of nerds who want to do some Star Trek bullshit?

You can get by pretty well with 2 people. There's no strict "AI" as such, but anybody can issue an order to a station that doesn't have a human player, so you can like, remote control them. Like shouting "power up shields", (and in fact you can use voice commands or you can use gestures) so there's a sort of AI its just one you have to control yourself. Also, players are free to hop positions during a mission, so what my cousin and I did was we basically each claimed 2 positions and would move back and forth as necessary. For the most part you just need a driver and gunner. If you don't like star trek then you'll bounce off fast but if you like TNG a bunch then I'm sure you'll have fun. There's not a ton of content though, as is pretty common in VR games.

Oh awesome, this is kind of what I was wondering. I appreciate it. I did read some negative reviews on steam saying they removed voice commands post launch at some point which made it harder to play without a full group? But either way, if we can switch between seats that doesn't sound too bad. Plus it looks like the native Quest version comes with the TNG DLC which rules.

Lmao apparently they licensed the voice recognition from IBM and stopped paying so they had to patch it out. That's super lame, but I never used it much anyways. It was cool the one time it worked where you could turn to an AI and say "Punch it!" and the ship would warp, but too often you'd end up having to say it twice and feel dumb.

I played it with 3 and it was great. I don't think 2 is a problem. I also played it a couple times with randos and it was surprisingly fun. That type of game self selects a fun kind of person.
