I like the idea of augmented reality but anything more intrusive than a somewhat chonky pair of hornrimmed glasses seems like a non starter.

Hand tracking for fine manipulation is still dodgy, which means for flight you need to know your physical switches and such by touch if the game doesn't use the dodgy hand tracking. That's my experience with it, anyway. My Quest 2 is collecting dust right now.

I got really into PSVR when it came out. There were several games I really liked, Dirt Rally, RE 7, Wipeout, Polybius, and Everybody's Golf were all great. But there was a lot of crap on the store too, and having to drag out all the equipment got old. I don't think I've touched it in two years.

repiv posted:there's also no games VR headsets are never going away completely because the hobbyist (sim racing, flight sims etc) crowd absolutely loves them, and they're perfectly suited to those types of games because you're sat in one place They may vanish from the mainstream for a while, until the next big breakthrough (haptics, or full body tracking, or whatever) and then they'll explode in popularity again. Would love it if they made them smaller and lighter in the meatime though, was hoping something could be done with those fans that work via vibrations

HunterTV had a great video where he tried all these dumb peripherals for playing Call of Duty and one was a haptic vest which he said was utterly useless, and then he blew it up. Probably one of the most fun game streamers I know of, dude cracks me up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe9eQldPILQ

I've got a PS5, and if the headset was about what the PSVR1 cost (about $300 iirc) it seemed like a pretty compelling way to dip my toes into that. But then the backwards compatibility idiocy made me nope right now, mostly because the one game that I REALLY wanted to give a shot in VR was Star Wars Squadrons.

The high difficulties on Beat Saber, Synth Riders and Pistol Whip are pure endorphin high, brain reprogramming poo poo. They made a mistake making the best 3 games right out the gate. You can't not play at least a few levels of one of these if you "suit up" for VR. You'll be a quivering sweaty mess after an hour unable to play anything else though. Alternatively Walkabout Golf is easily the best casual multiplayer game and I've had a game between Ireland, Canada and New Zealand and it was seamless. Just being in a virtual 3d world shooting the poo poo playing golf across continents seamlessly is literally sci-fi poo poo that exists but the headset is a bit heavy and gets a little sweaty so meh. Basically the hardware is just still too heavy, isolating, sweaty and has barriers to entry with regards to cost, space needed and various accessibility concerns (just being a glasses wearer means another 100 bucks to see properly in the thing, some people will get motion sick, etc). I think it can be refined to reduce those things to acceptable levels of annoyance but it's always going to be subjective if it's worth the effort. Probably a statement applicable to computing as a whole.

You should give VTOL VR a try, it's excellent.

If you have a disc that's worth a drat to you, you should really be keeping it in a case or CD wallet at this point.

Yeah my too-large collection of lovely anime are all in their original cases, stored on shelves, away from any windows. They'll probably be fine for a long time unless they were just manufactured poorly. I should probably still digitize them for the sake of back ups and having them available through plex or something.

Anime doesn't take up as much space as live-action recordings so your storage needs won't be quite as steep if that is primarily what you are backing up. They compress much better.

I've had a bunch of my PS2 games in the same CD wallet since the mid-2000s and all of them are absolutely fine. I'd rather have their actual cases. Cartridges the general advice I see is to put them in a bag and seal it up when they're not in use and that's worked nicely for my handful of N64 carts.

I just got a VR headset and so far I've played Half Life Alyx, Super Hot, Into the Radius (VR STALKER basically), and of course Beat Saber. I'm too scared to try any of the social stuff but VRChat is reasonably popular. VR racing is good too, but I'm not too into that. Asgard's Wrath 2 is supposed to be good so I'll have to give that a shot since it came with the headset. I'd say it's managed to build up the library of an only slightly disappointing console. Like maybe just higher than the N64. Given it's taken about a decade to build up to that and hasn't gained any popularity or momentum it doesn't bode well, but there's enough there to enjoy without it feeling like a waste.
