Hail Spwwttag.
 I had a Rift CV1 and put a couple hundred hours into it but could never really get over the queasiness. I medicated but then felt crappy in other ways. It's been years and my guts twinge just thinking about it. Have things improved drastically in hardware + game design around reducing the nausea factor?

TIP posted:

the causes of sickness vary heavily, but personally I find that high refresh rates really mitigate it

CV1 was only 90hz, but Quest 2 can run at 120hz (linked to PC, and in some standalone games) and the index can run at up to 144hz, so it might be worth trying those out and see how you fare

side note: your issue also could have been caused by poor performance, if you weren't hitting a rock solid 90 you drop to 45hz with reprojection and that can be puke city for many

I seem to recall framerates being pretty smooth, it was stuff like joystick-to-move-forward in say Subnautica being very unsettling. Or like a sudden stop in DiRT, I learned to keep my eyes closed for a few seconds before and after the crash.

Hail Spwwttag.
 Such a poo poo presentation but I preordered anyway. Last thing I used was a Rift CV1, so it'll be a decent upgrade, and I'm looking forward to catching up on decent titles. What's the thread rec for a casual exploration/puzzler? We were too stupid for Obduction.

 Both AMVR and BoboVR shipped quickly and cheaply to New Zealand. I'll understand if you call me a god drat liar.

I've been out of the VR scene for a while and am thinking of getting back into it.

I have an Oculus Rift CV1 but somehow the audio went out on one of the headphones. A few questions that hopefully someone can help with...

- Is there a reasonable non-Quest VR headset that will work with the Oculus and Steam stores?
- What are the chances Sony will make their VR2 headset compatible with PC?

I'm trying to avoid giving Meta money, but if Quest is really the best option:
- What's the quality like if I play Oculus/Steam games from my PC? Will it be a significant improvement over my CV1? Is the wireless from PC the same quality as wired from PC?
- How much better is the Rift 3 over Rift 2?

I'm not huge on VR but I went from a Rift CV1 to a Quest 3. Yeah, you won't regret it. Controllers & sound are a sidegrade and the strap sucks, but the display is massively better and wireless changes everything. Streaming from PC depends on wifi quality but is generally good enough that you won't go back to wired. I have no love for Meta, but it really is the best headset for the money.
