Yeah once I finish Alyx I think the only other thing I’ll bother with for PCVR is Skyrim. And who knows if I’m actually up for another play through.

I restarted Alyx on my updated system with new SSD and a 3080 and such and good lord it's just such a great experience. I just keep looking forward to going back in.

The Halloween Walkabout course with its dolls got me wondering: is there a good Weeping Angels style experience or game out there? Seems like such a cool and horrible opportunity.

My Quest 2 was always dead when I wanted to use it. I thought the forehead sensor was getting triggered and waking the screen constantly. I just put black tape over the sensor, problem solved. Quest 3 does the same thing, but if I tape over the sensor, it won't boot up. Is there a better solution?

It sucks though, cause it doesn't wake for updates. Other option is to leave it plugged in, or remember to plug it in long enough before you use it. Neither of which are ideal.

Just bought the quest 3, hopefully the lenses will be an improvement from the reverb G2. I know the visual clarity/resolution/compression/latency isn't as good, but I've been having some trouble with WMR freezing lately (I think it's related to my gsync ultimate monitor, not that knowing it helps) and I've been curious to try if the tracking and lenses are really better. Worse comes to worst I'll give to my mum who's been somewhat wanting to get a headset as she's enjoyed using VR but probably wouldn't buy one herself and doesn't have a PCVR-capable PC.

Holy crap the zenni snap in lenses are so much better an experience than wearing my normal glasses in between. I don't even have a very significant prescription (like -1.5 in each eye) and the level of clarity and lack of any hazing/fogging is night and day. Absolutely must purchase for glasses-wearers.

Really want to get a quest 3 but can't come up with a compelling reason to do so because all the new games look like hot garbage I'll squirrel some money away though and sometime after Christmas I'll break down and buy one so I can play walkabout with the better lenses

So I have a pico 4 that I use exclusively for porn. I normally download 8k porn with file sizes of around 20 gb+. At this sort of resolution, would there be image improvement if I upgrade to the Apple ViP when it comes out?

Shrinkage posted:So I have a pico 4 that I use exclusively for porn. I normally download 8k porn with file sizes of around 20 gb+. Should do, given the micro-OLED screens. "VR" video never did anything for me since it literally breaks if you look at it funny, but holography in the examples I've seen (like the lightfield demos Google released) is The Real Thing and Apple seems to have something up their sleeves in this space. There's gaussian splats too, which is a method of visualizing 3 dimensional photography that's just getting out of the research stage, but shows a lot of promise of being performant, compressible and visually pleasing to the eye. I continue to hope for holographic photography and video to be a thing. The porn would be great obviously but it has a lot of potential for linear storytelling too.

Anyone play the Ironman VR game and can say if its good or not? I’m tempted since it’s on sale. Don’t mind if the graphics arent amazing or if its a 6 hour experience if its enjoyable and fun.

Sweet… I tried vr gaming but it just looks too shite at the moment. Hopefully the ViP pushes the industry forward. Hasn’t been able to go back to normal porn even with vr porn quality at the state it’s currently in.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Where can you get LASIK for 60 bucks I mean someone had the Zenni in cart for like $110 a few pages back, I'm just thinking between not buying those, not buying glasses and contacts and ongoing vision care plans, seems like it's pretty good ROI on top of the instant QOL. Like, if you've got $500 something as frivolous as a Quest 3 then it's not unreasonable to think you can do the 3-5k. Anyway, I'm not an expert, don't take my advice. But my bf didn't like VR and after ditching glasses he's been pinging pongs in there for like an hour a day for the last 6 months. Plays way more than me, but maybe I can catch up once I find some time for that Pianovision game.

I feel like my eye doctor said something about my eyes being too poo poo for laser correction. I'm also under the impression lens inserts will be decently pricey because of my prescription, and I'm unsure how much I like the idea of having to take my glasses off/on when swapping in and out of VR. Anyone who's totally in love with inserts: do you have a high index prescription and/or can basically see dick all without your glasses on?

VROptician which is the one I have my lenses from can do from -20 to +10 SPH, from -10 to +6 CYL and up to 180° AX although the high prescriptions cost extra. They have a calculator on their web site, I assume any other provider would as well. Personally I rarely take my headset off during a play session. If I need to mess with the desktop I'll just bring the virtual desktop up inside VR. But I also don't consider swapping glasses on and off a hurdle, I swap from regular glasses to reading glasses whenever I'm at the computer anyway.

I just checked and I cancelled through my app, and it says I still have the access through April. To be clear you lose access to the free games when your sub ends.

So if I grab a Q3 or two through Walmart now, I can stash them away until Christmas and if my wife does the same thing, we’ll be able to return them all the way through January? I think that’s what I heard before?

Oxyclean posted:I feel like my eye doctor said something about my eyes being too poo poo for laser correction. I have an oddball prescription and had to DIY my own lens inserts. Totally worth it, but I'm also a guy with a workshop who can do such things. I think inserts are totally worth it, even if I have to take my glasses off before wearing the headset. The comfort is just much better.
