>>496622627

>>496622627
>Tuesday, July 19, 2022, 9:54:37 PM
a bit ago. I sure love CSGO season too, wouldn't mind seeing it again

Maybe today will be the day I mod and play Fallout 4.

WRC club!

Very first championship, first event is in progress. 5 events, two weeks each, WRC2. Every stage ends with a long service area, nearly no 35km+ stages, three stages per event, championship gets a new set of stages every two weeks and ends on December 5.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1849250/EA_SPORTS_WRC/

Join, and for the very first time, fight for points instead of just times:
https://racenet.com/ea_sports_wrc/clubs/19481

need quest 3 powerbank suggestions to wrap onto the back of a deluxe audio strap :3

I have no friends

>>496623408
Maybe today is the day I'll have sex with a cute anime girl.

>>496623408
You know full well you'll mod it today and then leave it untouched for 2 years

>>496633613

Where can I find assets now that vrchive is down forever?

If you're looking to get more VR games and brush some dirt off your shoulder, Fanatical are doing another VR bundle with decent prices (best value at £7.25 per item for 4+ items):
https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-infinity-vr-collection
Some standout picks if you haven't played them already:
Into the Radius - Stalker in VR, basically two games if you try the 1.0 version. Excellent gun play and a fun time scavenging. Personally have 40 hours in it but people have more.
Skyrim VR - Dungeon crawl to your hearts content, mod the shit out of it and watch it crash and burn.
I Expect You to Die series - Single player puzzle action campaign. Rated quite highly and a great VR experience.
Not for Broadcast VR - Play the role of a puppet for British state TV, now in VR! Micro manage the interface of a studio while making sure you broadcast the correct message. Decide what's shown to change the fate of the story.
Fallout 4 VR - Not the best fallout game, but maybe VR will make up for it. Still mod the shit out of it.

someone call this dude its actually his number

>>496636848
based

>>496636189
>would regularly browse through vrchive and find out assets I liked
>instead of downloading them immediately i would just favorite them on booth to save them for later

Hi, Monday Chess + Mahjong will be at 21:30CEST/19:30UTC (~1h40 from now) as usual
As usual we will start with 1h of chess followed by mahjong at 22:30CEST/20:30UTC (~2h40 from now)

>>496632059
Looks good, hopefully it works well in VR

How's Hellsweeper VR?

>>496636848
Worth mentioning there's a VR rhythm game bundle on Humble for a couple more days too.
Pistol Whip, Ragnarock, and Synth Riders are all really good.
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/rhythm-is-gonna-get-you-vr-bundle

>>496637721
Fantastic. The bottleneck is your brain and how fast you can execute the gestures needed to do what you want.

>>496637286
I'm so sorry Anon ;_; I downloaded some stuff but I keep thinking of new ideas for outfits, but now I can't search for them anymore.

A > B > C > F > E > D

>>496636848
After The Fall is worth grabbing if you can find people to play co-op with.

>>496624393
some promotional material for the WRC league
i hate that turn

>>496637979
sweet, picked up too. what a fantastic bundle deal.

Real VR Fishing NOW! Join EU lobby
Gone fishing
pass 1488

>>496633186
I will install it today is the plan.
>>496633032
Thats every day and I have grown bored of that.

>>496636848
If you've already played all those and are looking to try something new:
Guardians Frontline - Rough asset flip with a bit of soul. FPS/RTS mix where you fight bugs starship troopers style. Different objectives and you can control the battlefield from a birds eye view with deployable buildings and manoeuvrable units. Good laugh in multiplayer.
VR Giants - Co-op puzzle game with one player as a giant in VR and the other controlling somebody on a flat screen, find a friend and have fun.
Hellsweeper VR - Buzzword bingo: Hack and Slash, Action Rouglike, Shooter, Magic. Not tried it but the steam reviews sound decent.
CONVRGENCE - Another Stalker-In-VR released to Early Access in April. Rough but has potential, and grabbing it for a steal means it's in your library for when it finally hits 1.0.
The 7th Guest VR - Basically a point and click game in VR. Enjoy the interactions, puzzles and story set in a spooky mansion filled with ghosts. Perfect for Halloween.
Rez Infinite - A stylish third person rhythmic shooter with support for both flat screen and VR.
Wired VR Quad Pack - Four games for the price of one (though quality may vary) - Arcade Paradise VR (arcade simulator), GRIP:Combat Racing (arcade racing with weapons)., The Last Worker (story walking simulator), Tin Hearts (Lemmings in VR).
Ultrawings 2 - Arcade flying sim, for when DCS and VTOL:VR get a bit too stressful. Has multiplayer support too.
Racket: Nx - Arkanoid meets squash, break the tiles.

>>496637901
>>496639065
And my opinions on the rest:
Warplanes: Air Corp - Military flying sim with multiplayer support, reviews don't rate it that well if you already play VTOL VR.
Hello Neighbours VR - Why?
We Are One - Time stopping shooter puzzle game. Short and sweet though some steam reviews mention issues with constantly recentering the playspace.
The Wizards - Dark Times: Brotherhood - Single player or 3 player co-op. Adventure and kill stuff (if you can get over some clunky controls).
After the Fall - From the creator of Arizona Sunshine comes a four player co-op campaign in a zombie apocalypse, make sure you have three others or you'll be trapped with incompetent AI.
Arizona Sunshine: Deluxe Edition - Make sure you play this co-op to get over the dreadful writing and pretty boring gunplay. A product of its time being an early VR title.

Man now that i have a big screen vr games are actually fun again and i actually may start choosing to play vr games over flat games
Played like 2 songs on pistol whipped and im hooked (ty anon who posted random codes in the thread long ago)
Like I haven't knocked shit off my desk in forever

Requesting all of the individual videos from the idol event to get posted. Want to listen to them without anyone in the background talking.

>>496638347
I have that one, but havent been able to find people to play it with

Is there a group of people in VRChat /here/ who run some kind of tabletop RPG weekly/monthly? I'd love to play and see what all VR can do for TTRPGs.

why did I need to do this

>>496663716
>the date you entered didn't match our record
???

>>496663716
They will send you like 5 bucks for the meta store.

>I have a dream that one day this oppressive robotranny regime will be overthrown and little furry boys and girls will be able to join hands with little anime boys and girls and walk together as brothers and sisters.

>>496663716
Age confirmation. Under-13s have restricted accounts with certain features disabled.

>>496664459
>bang

hey /vrg/, there arent any up and coming martin luther king jr. types we should know about, are there?

>>496664459
>>496664690
They had to kill him because they're afraid of us getting ideas.

>>496662685
Some people play board games in VRC, but no RPGs.
Tabletop Sim doesn't work well in VR, so your best bet for hosting would probably be throwing something together in a VRC map.

>>496664459
That's not even a furry but a cute kemono

protip ALL anime characters have snouts and you can't do nothing about it

>>496667307
I will have to photoshop a pole in front of this image soon.

>>496662685
There are few JP groups that run CatsUDON which is very dumbed down and automated Sword World system some worlds have baked in but classic TTRPGs are massive PITA in VRC because filling in character sheets, rolling dice properly and keeping track of things is just generally hard or annoying to do.

Kemono IS furry.

EU Assetto Corsa: European Racing club, season 12!
Race 81.

18:00 UTC 20:00 CEST, Monday 7th of October 2024.

Due to popular demand we gonna drive a some real racecars. GT4!

1 hours practice
12 minutes qualifiers
10 laps race

Afterwards, after all the sweaties are gone, we're going to the REAL event. vrg in a reasonably priced car on the TopGear test track!
Assetto - can be played with wheel, controller, or steam-vr-wheel addon, it doesn't matter, we will all have fun driving together. If you just bought Asseto - grab Assetto Corsa Content Manager - a better launcher and mod manager: https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html To install mods: just drag and drop zip files from mega onto the Content Manager windows and click on the hamburger menu on top right. Highly recommend installing stable custom shader patch and 7-zip plugin in Content manager.

repeat after me:
It's fine when japan does it.

>>496667942
No.

>>496667987
then stop using anime, they also have snouts

>>496668137
I use gumroad.

While I continue waiting for the worlds slowest shipping delivering my headset via horse cart, in the world I've also been wondering some things:

>is vr chat still fun for people who don't drink?
>and don't have friends already?
>and aren't extroverted?
>just why do people like sit in front of mirrors?
>it supports push-to-talk right? or only open mic?
>what games besides vrc make good use of fbt? what percentage of adults using vrc use fbt?
>is it true that fbt makes people gay?

and one question unrelated to vrc
>how easy is it to use the tracking for motion capture in blender etc, especially hand tracking?

>>496667073
LARP is not my scene, but surely there are LARP groups that meet in vrc? Every real life LARP event I've observed is almost entirely a social thing.

>>496668343
be gone TDA thot

>>496668451
Be gone furfag

>>496665279
kek

>>496668369
yes
yes
yes
no idea, mirror sitting sucks
yes
dance dash, idk
yes

>>496668369
yes
yes
yes
people like looking at anime girls, you make your avatar look cute, put effort into it so you want admire it. Kinda like gardening. Or just proteus/trannyfagottry. (my booth is cute, looking at cute booths makes me happy)
yes, no
vrc clones, dance dash, swords and sorcery, hard to estimate global value but it's about 75% here, approaching 100% on trash
no

no idea

what should I do when the head and body color don't quite match up perfectly

>>496669307
You make them match.

>>496668369
FBT is for VRC only pretty much. I think you should focus less on VRC and more on VR games.

>>496668369
Fuck, picrelated

>>496669495
i can't :(

>>496668369
>is vr chat still fun for people who don't drink?
I would say so, there are numerous people around who don't drink
>and don't have friends already?
yeah, most people don't show up already part of a friend group
>and aren't extroverted?
Not a requirement at all, but you do need to actually talk to people. If you just stand in the corner silently then you probably won't get much out of the experience.
>just why do people like sit in front of mirrors?
The mirror standing meta around /vrg/ has declined a lot over the years desu, but it was because people liked seeing their own avatars.
>it supports push-to-talk right? or only open mic?
probably, I haven't tried
>what games besides vrc make good use of fbt?
Not too many. Blade and sorcery has support.
>what percentage of adults using vrc use fbt?
Around /vrg/, probably like 80% I'd estimate. General population, no idea.
>is it true that fbt makes people gay?
No. The people who claim that VR made them gay were the ones who were closeted fags to begin with looking for an excuse.

>how easy is it to use the tracking for motion capture in blender etc, especially hand tracking?
No idea

>>496667307
kill yourself furry

>>496669813
>The mirror standing meta around /vrg/ has declined a lot over the years desu

it's because people have personal mirrors always in front of them nowadays. You think he's looking at you when talking, but really they've placed their personal mirror in front of you and are looking at themselves

>>496669642
thanks anon, it's probably the URLs that hiroshimoot didn't like

>>496669960
The truth hurts, doesn't it

Stop trying to force yourselves into our community, furfags. Either switch to a cute anime or kemono avatar or get the fuck out.

>>496670308
why would you bring this up unprompted?

>>496670308
> or kemono avatar
yiff in hell furfag

Im a good boy boy and always sell out furries in the instance to Ryder so then execute them

>mirrors
It's not that I like seeing my avatar, it's that I like seeing it interact with other people.

>>496668369
>>what games besides vrc make good use of fbt?

Just cause no one mentioned it, Blade and Sorcery has tracker support, its not the most useful, but you can kick your enemies in the balls

>>496670308
Don't give them an inch.

>>496671037
it's silly

>being a fag, black, asian, tranny, schizo, sociopathic, bipolar boatgirl, having animal legs or paws, using godawful robotranny voice which makes ears bleed is fine but GOD FORBID you make your nose a black triangle and have a pink skin tone

>>496670308
you're a minority, nobody gives a FUCK how others avatar looks like as long as they play vr games

>>496672384
I give a fuck.

>>496672501
get help, take meds, grow thicker skin

hey!!

tuesday's movie is The Silence of The Lambs

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/

A young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims.

starting at 19:00 UTC as usual!

>>496672685
Nah it's quicker and cheaper to just kick you.

Consider just playing VR games.

>>496664459
he got killed shortly after

Reddit behaviour

>>496674546
>You're reddit if you don't provide safe spaces for me!!!
Dilate.

>>496668369
>surely there are LARP groups that meet in vrc?
We don't have any, but they do exist.
Closest thing we ever did to that would've been the AI Dungeon thing forever ago.

>>496667942

>make a furry avatar in order to get a rise out of people
>surprised when you just get kicked instantly
lol get fucked

>>496674627
>My safe space is 4chan
>Your safe space is reddit

Im against safe spaces

The only ones who are supposed to get kicked are normies unfamiliar with 4chan culture, as they are danger to us with their report button abuse over some meaningless gamer words. Everyone who understands or tolerates chan culture should be here and no safe spaces should be created. Nobody should be kicked because their avatar offends your feefees. For weaklings like you there is an avatar hiding button.

>>496675597
>The only ones who are supposed to get kicked are normies unfamiliar with 4chan culture
Everybody gets the boot that is a nuisance and doesn't tone it down if asked for it.
Why is this such an alien concept?

>>496675597
If you were familiar with 4chan culture then you wouldn't be using a furry avatar. Ergo, the kicks are justified.

>>496664459
*raises paw*

>>496675886
Tell me how many furr threads are on /b/ right now.

>Inb4 b is not real chan culture

>>496676269
I never browsed /b/, I started on /a/ and have posted primarily on /a/ and /v/ since 2008 and we've always hated furries.

>>496676658
>I never browsed /b/
you don't belong here

>>496675597
you are not free to be a nuisance here. get yo funny up.

>>496675597
no furries. furries are the niggers of online communities. they bring in all their friends and shit on the streets and jack off the rats in the sewer and then eat the rat cum.

>>496677449
oh, it hurt your feelings, goo goo ga ga, maybe reddit would be more to your tastes

IF THEY RUN, THEYRE FURRIES. IF THEY STAND STILL, THEY'RE WELL DISCIPLINED FURRIES

jokes on you triple tranime nigger, I don't have friends

WHEN MM STARTING I WANNA DRINK

i havent played vrchat in 6 months. whats this steam binding shit? i cant toggle gesture with my left stick anymore and i cant grab objects in game using my left controller either.

>>496685865
they updated the bindings so every custom one had to be remade.

>>496685865
you need to manually rebind them sadly

>>496685998
>>496686063
where/how do you go to adjust this now? you used to be able to do it all within vrchat, now it tries to bring up a steam overlay? is there some community binding preset that's widely accepted/use i can copy? i used to use ginga's for playspace stuff idk how that mixes with this new binding setup stuff.

::::::::::SEA FRIDAY NIGHT VRFPS::::::::::

OI OI OI SEA VR FPSers should we do breachers or Hyperdash this Friday I'm up for either.

we will ACTUALLY do Hyperdash this time if there is enough interest and i'll stop gaslighting you.

same time 8:00PM AEST
this SEA Friday

>>496686632
Helll yeah roger that, I’ll prepare my hyperdash brother

>>496686632
Filipinos don't look like that

>>496686485
if you have index i just published my bindings under vrc index John PavLOVE! or something like that but i have no idea how to "search" for them in game or in the regular steamvr overlay
also couldn't find shit for bindings/searching in the regular non vr workshop so i have no idea how it works
there was some non intuitive bindings that i had to figure out why shit didn't work why it used to so hopefull this helps

Hi it's time for Monday pypy:

>>496689802
dont you mean some THICKER FUR
hardy hardy hardy
sorry

vrc is rightful furry clay

>>496688208
yeah i have an index, i'll take a look when i have some time, thank you.

considering this would have impacted like a hundred people here, im surprised there isnt some guide4retards on how to fix bindings. i might go look in the archives maybe but idk when this change happened because ive been gone for a while.

>>496691354
then leave /vrg/ alone

Does any anon know how to synchronize a simple animation in a udon world in vrchat across clients? Back in the old days you could just stick a vrc object sync component on and it just worked but that doesn't seem to do it anymore

>>496692578
Why yes yes I do. I used this system during VRGUCCI - fashion event and halloween costume event to sync the custom stage animation system to ferry people in
https://booth.pm/en/items/4727851

>>496695361
thank you anon

>>496695551
u're welcum~

>>496695361
I sorta want an avatar showcase thing to become a yearly occasion so we have like a yearly archive of anon's outfits throughout the years.

How can we go about this as painlessly and as fun as possible?
I've been musing on the possibility of having a manned photo booth either during the /vrg/ vault or new years.

What would be the best call on this? Is a group photo good enough for this? I'm kinda autistic on wanting a record on an individual basis since in group photos your avatar is like 50 pixels tall.

Just a heads up, I will not be hosting Mojito Monday tonight. Ty for your understanding. See you next week!

Why do you retards keep putting rape whistles on your avatars

>>496664459
I'm making an official debate in vrc to end this discussion once and for all.
Is going to be like a presidential debate and it will have moderator that will ask questions to both candidates that represents their ideas

>>496701768
loli game on point

>>496685865
Reset your bindings to default and then edit them like any other vr game bindings. They finally unfucked the input system and everything is bindable in the steamvr bindings menu.

>>496701768
i-s t-that FF? got damn

>>496705261
Are you gonna try and find some spooky OVAs or movies to put on for October?

An update on Ultrawings 2:
Currently the game seems to be broken for a lot of steam users on a variety of headsets (Index, Bigscreen, Quest, Picco) and currently the only solution that the dev is providing is "Use Meta's Air Link Software". This is obviously not viable for non meta users, and is the worst way to experience VR for Quest users. Do not buy this game.

>>496722540
sounds like it’s a unity game that only mapped oculus touch controllers?

>>496639065
Racket: Nx is pretty fun, has an arcade mode as well as a set of campaign levels that introduce the different tiles you can hit as well as the power ups. Sound design is pretty good as well, and has support for playing your own music if you don't like the soundtrack. Also comes with a neat spiral on the floor to show how much you've tangled up your cable, similar to TurnSignal.

>>496724819
It started off originally as a Quest only game so all the problems seem to stem from some poor implementation of "automatically detecting controllers". Even people with PSVR2 via PC adapter are struggling and though there's been a beta branch for Pico support since Janurary 2023 it doesn't seem to have made it into the game.

>>496727747
Works on my machine. Just don't use the PSO-1, it's hot garbage. By the time you get a full AK for free you can give it the better scope and even a canted holo.

How much should I pay for a new quest pro on ebay? Want to finally upgrade from my Index.

>>496734037
>Upgrade
Youll have to deal with compression, delay, bad audio, bad microphone, and horrible comfort.

>>496734989
>compression
Had only compression when I had a shitty router
>delay
see above, don't know about wired
>bad microphone
true, get a mod mic
>horrible comfort
true, get the comfort kit

You left out some plus points:
>higher resolution
>facial tracking
>pancake lenses
>wireless (with good router)
>controllers are smaller and lighter
>better colors (better contrast)

Definitely not a clear cut upgrade, depending on what's important to you.

>>496735969
Its the state of 2024 vr, where there still is not clear cut upgrade from Index. You always loose some, gain some

is the vive stand alone face tracker comparable to quest pro?

>>496735969
>>higher resolution
i mean it is higher, but its not by much. the resolution on the quest pro isnt great and thanks to the better lenses you can see the aliasing more easily.
Nobody uses the quest pro controllers if they dont have to, i have only heard one person say good things about it, everyone else has had constant issues with them, namely overheating but also just other issues

>>496738181
>i have only heard one person say good things about it
was that me?

>>496738287
idk, i was drunk at that time i dont remember who said it but everyone else just uses knuckles on the quest pro since they have to use base stations for their trackers anyway

Was it a success?

Just paid $650 for one on Saturday. Supposed to get here by Friday. Wasnt New New, but shown to have everything and in good condition.

>>496634053
Can't wait to punch a hole in my ceiling doing an uppercut

>>496734037
Around $650 is the usual price for one that's open box or close to new condition
Don't listen to any leashcucks that insist the compression and latency make it not-worth-it compared to Index. These people have never even demo'd a wireless headset yet alone own one and have only used the Index since 2019.
They have no actual experience with compression and latency, they just repeat what other leashcucks say leading to a continuous circle of misinformation.

Tried out Blood Trail. Neat gore system. That's about the only thing the game has going for it though. Don't know why people would pay 20€ for what is just a boring wave survival. Sandbox isn't really a sandbox either so I don't get the point of seperating the modes.

Glad I didn't pay for it.

I think it's funny how nearly every single game review left here always ends with "Not worth the money, it's basically a tech demo"

Why do most VR games suck so much

>>496741109
Because no-one buys them. VR games simply don't sell enough copies to be worth the time and money making a fully fledged game. So people get a concept, release some basic content for it, and it feels like a tech demo.
The exception are devs that are too stupid or too idealised to realise that VR is a waste of time, so the two main VR devs are tech demo creators and retards. Pavlov and H3 for example are both developed by retards.

>>496741109
developing games for VR is way harder and more expensive than traditional flat games.

>>496637286
何が終わった?

>>496741961
That's also a problem; many devs for VR simply don't play VR games. I see it over and over again where these studios just keep reinventing the wheel over and over, every single time showing that they've never played VR games. No-one even bothered doing some research either.

Same problem with Meta itself I bet. No-one plays VR when they get home.

>>496743434

>>496741961
I don't think VR games are that much harder to develop than flat games, just that there are way less of them, so people will actually post reviews of the bad stuff. If you were able to play all the shovelware that gets released on steam (~50 games/day), I bet you'd see a similar ratio of bad tech demos and asset flips.

Still a sad situation, but game engine support is actually not bad these days. Even the meme godot engine has openXR built in.

>>496745253

this meme is stupid stop using it

practically everyone i talked to in vrc that was using it mentioned using it tethered to a wall or their pc for infinite battery
so nice wireless you got there buds

>>496747519
Congratulations on talking to retards who can't figure out how a battery works.

>>496747803
see >>496747268
remember to swap out every few hours!

>>496747856
Oh no, having to reach behind my head, take the battery off, place it on its charger, grab the spare, and place it on the back of my head without ever having to take the headsets off, once every two to three hours
A process that literally takes 4 seconds maximum.

LITERALLY UNUSABLE SAVE ME GABENMAN!!!!

>busy having too much fun to keep up with hourly maintenance dance

>fun stops
>have to take off blindfold and replace battery, get back onto steamvr and whatever game you were enjoying

i'll stick to an infinite reliable power source granted to me whether it be from my pc or the wall
doing the battery song and dance every 8ish hours to swap out steamvr devices is annoying enough as it is
t. own quest 1, quest 2, pico 4 pro already and will soon have a quest pro just to put all the shilling to rest

>get low battery warning
>change it
simple as

>>496748741
Your headset will literally warn you over and over again when you get to low battery. I don't know how you're letting it die by being too distracted multiple times.
You don't even need to take your headset off to grab and replace your battery. It takes four damn seconds with a magnetic battery pack like the ones BoboVR sells.

those also use wall power instead of batteries
I know, I know, that really sucks to hear, but its the honest truth!

>>496751269
the amount of bobo shills in this general is genuinely staggering
I knew quest shills were bad enough and I know you need this particular accessory to make your headset actually not so miserable to use wirelessly, but still
staggering nonetheless

deckard fucking when. I like my quest but I've been spoiled by my oled tv.

>>496752806

An instance where people are encouraged to join for a cup of tea and eventual snacks if they fancy it. The instance will be closed after 30-45min
Likely in a simple room with a table and a video player
> Why?
To share relaxing time before bigger instances and after work. With a focus on things having to stay calm and simple. Making it time limited to ensure it is meant to be an in-between time rather than something big. For that reason it will be posted in the thread but as invite+

>>496756758
At first the cable pissed me off, it always felt like it was in the way and breaking my immersion.
It didn't take long to get a comfortable setup, built up the cable management muscle memory and get used to playing with a cable though. Generous use of stick movement is the cable coping mechanism.
However I gradually began to hate it again. If you try to play games without optimising out the fun by overusing stick rotation, then the management ritual starts to grate on you. The cable limits how long you can be immersed as eventually you will need to divert your attention to it, whether it's twisted and then adjust yourself accordingly. Every stage or respawn I was spinning around a few times to correct it and if you don't do that then you're eventually going to need to pay the retard tax for a replacement cable.

How are they supposed to show you your achievements and have global achievement stats without "collecting the gameplay data".

Facebook gives the data to anyone who bids an ad, its a known vulnerability and a way to track people, been in countless data collection and leaking scandals.

Valve just collects data to do what is seen on the fucking website.

>Valve does it okay tho!

Okay, listen
Valve is party 1
I am party 2
Who is party 3 in that regard?
Could that be... other developers? Could valve maybe send them data in form of analytics?
What do you think "legal interest" contains? Could it maybe be... your address? Would it maybe be your age and billing information?
Do you think maybe third party could mean they need to bring it to other companies in order to "verify" you bought something?
Do you think that maybe your usage of the steam client gets logged so certain games could be shown to you? Don't you think that those data sets will be forwarded to the owner of certain game pages in the steam store?

Skyrim is worth it. Fallout even heavily modded never truly escapes the jank VR implementation.
In terms of value for money; Hellsweeper, 7th Guest and I Expect You To Die 3 are good options depending on your taste in genres.
CONVRGENCE is still in early access tech demo territory so only get it if you know what you're getting into.
The rest of the games are either mid or go on sale/bundle often enough that you'll see them again soon elsewhere.

steamvr is bloatware
port your shit games to openxr you fuckin hacks

>>496637901
are these worth buying?
I tend to pirate rhythm games because they have dozens if not hundreds of dollars worth of dlc

>>496799459
Fun thing is that Oculus and Viveport builds are already OpenXR. They're just too lazy to port the Steam version.

>>496800998
pistol whip, synth rider and ragnarock are great
you can use creamapi and unlock all the dlc easily
drums rock as a cool concept but half the songs are the devs own band (which sucks bad) and it fails some of the execution

>>496800998
Synth Riders and Ragnarock are both 10/10. They both have plenty of custom songs you can download but they also have payed dlc. Ragnarock gets regular free music packs still afaik, and has a substantial base library.
Pistol whip is overrated.

I recently got to do a VR experience for a friend's bachelor party where it was six of us wearing wireless headsets in the same 20 by 30 ft space and it was really cool. The games were really simple and pretty much devoid of any depth, but it really felt like the sci-fi idea of VR to be sharing the space, especially the 3v3 multiplayer shooter game.

VR at home is neat but sharing the space with others and actually getting to physically run around it made a big difference. We ran into each other but less than you'd expect.

>>496802124
I think that's the concept with the VR Arena games in warehouses. Got a few here in the country but I've never tried one. Would probably need a 6 person group for it to be worth it.

Due to my schedule being changed i can only host it once im back from work which is around

8am jst or 1am Cest on sunday would anyone be up for that? if not ill host it next week

cheers!

still havin a big ol blast playing hl2vr... havent even gotten to ep1 or ep 2 yet. and VAIL VR. pretty fun.

haven't gotten to any of the other great VR games on my list yet even... nor my Alyx replay (played through black mesa, doing hl2/ep1/ep2, then alyx again. Played alyx on release on original rift, in a tiny cramped space. experience was very hampered by that. now i have a huge space.)

this quest 3 was an incredible investment.

how do they do it

Anons, the last time I tried VR was around 8 years ago, it was an ok experience. Has VR evolved past there absolute jank? I'm considering buying a Quest 3 but I need some convincing. Is the Quest privacy invasive? Is there headset modding or stuff I need to know? Arkham Shadow looks ok but I need more than that. Was it personally worth for you guys?

>>496852259
VR has definitely improved. If you haven't played for 8 years there's a reasonable pile of games worth playing now too.

Glad to hear, what about my other questions? Also, Quest 3 vs 3S, is the visual fidelity difference worth the 200 burger difference?

>>496852773
The 3S is basically a quest 2, don't bother.

>>496852773
>>496852805
this
get Q3, official meta store is best and usually the cheapest
you can login with a mail, no zuccin needed, if you are a fingerprinting schizo you can firewall it all off to be extra sure
>modding
if you want to there are mods to do, we just had a guy that attached Q3 to a welding mask for comfort
instead just buy shit off amazon, there are certain accessories that are basically required, hard strap is a must
>Was it personally worth for you guys?
value-wise absolutely, it's an amazing piece of tech for the price
VRC took a heavy toll on my sleep schedule and motivation for IRL shit, but other than that it's awesome
>Has VR evolved past there absolute jank?
we went from absolute jank to kids toys. VR has plateaued and might not get better for a long time (2 weeks until Deckard)

>>496852259
If you haven't been in the know you should also be aware that a quest 3 can be hooked up to your PC to play PCVR games too. there are lots of good standalone titles but PCVR is where you really get the beefier titles.
That said, getting it to work well might require some tuning; how it basically works is the headset connects to your local network via Wifi and your PC streams the video over your LAN. So a good wifi AP is needed.

>>496838681
i feel this anon, id message you

>>496853923
what do i put into my firewall to block meta stuff but still have it work?

>>496854310
depends on your schizo levels
cut off known meta addresses
use a premade blocklist, I have seen them floating around leddit
monitor your network with wireshark and firewall anything that quest tries to connect to
or go full airgap schizo, cut everything except your local connection via VD

>>496853923
>>496854113
I have a beefy PC so this sounds great. Thanks anons. Don't really have to worry about VRC since none of my friends are interested in VR. I'll be ordering one soon.

>>496854597
Well we're in VRC so you'll probably end up trying it

The only things that speak for the Pico 4 are

>100 pixel mor on the X axis

Yeah man I don't know about the "arguably better" part.
https://vr-compare.com/compare?h1=0q3goALzg&h2=1qnvNfJKq

>>496858990
>ipd range is worse
You what m8 it goes from 52 to 72, but they advertise less as its in the "pinching nose" range but it allows you to after showing a warning (yes the ipd is motorized)

>Refresh rate
90 is completely fine

>Lower fov
Horizontal is slightly less, but quest 3 has worse binocular overlap, which can cause discomfort, also pico has higher vertical fov which makes it more immersive (you can see more of yourself)

>Pixel density
Nigga pico 4 has more pixels and less fov, how the pixel density can be lower? Think nigga think

>Heavier
It has a proper strap, and the battery is on the back instead of all weight being on your face, its litterally has less moment of force and is more comfortable


Additionally, you have perfectly fine out of the box Pico Connect unlike shitty airlink, you dont need to buy replacement straps, can get cheap good fbt, and the lenses dont have the annnoying vignette, which drops brightness 50% at the sides, additionally its unlocked, you can reflash it, you can install apks by just downloading them and clicking on them, without registering as a developer. And as I said you can get cheap, hassle free fbt which is almost as good as vive trackers, unlike shitty slime or mocopi.

>>496860470

All the points still stand. All you just said was
>yeah but it's not bad
As for the pixel density... once you learn to read, you will find so many sources, like the one I linked

>>496858682
>And is arguably better than quest 3.
Not the anon who originally replied to you but I have both. The Pico is worse in every single way except for default strap comfort. I can't think of anything the Pico does better otherwise.
It's a fine headset, but there's no argument to be made that it's better than the Quest 3.

Console wars...

>>496860704
>The same fov
>Same screen resolution
>Different ppd
Yea, sure.

>>496860732
I own both as well and for me the pico has much better binocular overlap, default comfort strap and less friction from the OS. Everything else is better on the Zucc3.
Like the entire appeal of the P4 is getting a good enough package for cheap (350ish~) and they shot themselves in the foot with the Ultra trying to play catch up but selling it even more than a Q3.

>>496860847
Are you actually dumb or just pretendin?
Resolution alone means NOTHING. pixel density can only be calculated with "resolution" in relation to "panel size" you absolute retard.

It either means the Quest 3 has a smaller panel, meaning the same amount of pixel need to be denser, or the Pico 3 has a larger panel, meaning the pixel are more spaced out.
No matter the reason, pixel density is higher in the quest 3.

>>496860847
Read. Really. Just read.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_density

>>496861065
>>496861206
Im talking pixels per degree which is the one which matters. Who cares how big are pixels on the panel, for clarity PPD, pixel per degree is what matters. And its litterally comes from FoV and panel resolution.

You're an idiot

>>496861065
>>496861206
what does the d in ppd stand for?

>>496861376
He thinks physical pixel density on the panel is what matters for vr instead of pixels per degree, which is a function of pixel density and lens parameters.

>>496861354
>You're an idiot
No disagreement there.
However

>>496861354
>>496861376
>>496861510
To my defense, increasing the PPI is one way to increase PPD, so I don't know what to tell you

>>496861657
>Basically the same FoV and panel resolution
>Different PPD

Its litterally pixels divided by fov

2000 pixels, divided by 100 horizontal fov = 20 PPD in both cases. The website is just plainly wrong. You should stop talking.

>>496861840
look here >>496861793
PPD can be changed with the same FOV and the same resolution.

>>496861840
website literally calls you out too

From Meta's Website, Quest 3 Page:
>2064x2208 pixels per eye enhances resolution by nearly 30% compared to Meta Quest 2 for next-level clarity and lifelike graphics. 4K+ Infinite Display with 25PPD and 1218 PPI brings the best resolution across the entire Quest line of devices.

From Pico's Website, Pico 4 page:
>Pancake lenses
>105° FOV
>20.6 PPD
>62–72mm seamless interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment

>>496861881
No it cannot, you idiot with single digit IQ reading comprehension.

At most by having weird lens design you can make the PPD uneven, make it higher or lower on different parts of the visible field. But only by basically pinching the screen optically, but most lenes work in opposite way they have barrel distortion, meaning middle of the screen is stretched the most. In the end average PPD of the whole visual field is always PIXELS/FOV DEGREES. Local ppd increase always will cost you by lowering ppd elsewhere.

You should educate yourself about vr, reaf some articles, watch some Valve GDC presentations, before talking nonsense.

>>496862036
>Scamula

>>496862115
So the quest not only has vignetting, but the edge to edge clarity is shit due to weirdly deformed uneven PPD?

Thanks Zucc

>>496862154
>>496862243
>it's always just resolution/fov
What would happen if the screen (in the same resolution) comes closer to you? Would you see more or less pixels?
What would happen if the screen (in the same resolution) is further away? Would you see more or less pixels?

If you can not visualize this, I can not help you. Can you even visualize an apple?

>>496862491
It's okay anon he's one of those people who thinks that the screens in headsets being a couple cm from the eyes causes strain

>>496862471
>but the edge to edge clarity is shit due to weirdly deformed uneven PPD?
Laughably stupid sentence. Quest 3 & Pro literally have the best edge to edge clarity out of any headset bar none because of the lenses.

>>496862243
Where is it wrong?

>>496862115
PPD can mean both "pixel per degree" or "peak pixel density"
Meta made the choice with their headset to have uneven pixel per degree and go for higher peak density at the center of the lense, here they refer to peak density with their value
Pico goes for even ppd across the entire lense, so both ppd values are the same

Each specific choice is not necessarily better, it's just different design

>>496862651
>Pico goes for even ppd across the entire lense
on the pico website

>>496862782
Oh, didn't know that, my bad. Still less variance across the screen than quest 3 however

>>496862889
>Still less variance across the screen than quest 3
Where did you read that?
The Qeust 3 website only gives me one value

>>496862491
If you bring the screen closer to you the fov becomes larger and ppd drops. Youre and idiot.

>>496862957
>Cant calculate average ppd still and cant think for himself

Just stop talking

>>496862957
Quest 3 and pico 4 have similar rendered fov area (quest 3 is 108x98, pico4 is 104x104) while having similar panel resolution
You can assume their average pixel per degree should be relatively similar, so if Q3 have significant higher peak, it means it have to take it away from other areas

>>496863176
>If you bring the screen closer to you the fov becomes larger and ppd drops. Youre and idiot.

Soooo... does that mean you can change the DDP without changing resolution or FoV?
Would that mean that the simple calculation (resolution / fov) wouldn't catch this?
Like I said it could?
Like I said here >>496861881
Where the answer was >>496862154
>No it cannot

>>496863287
>I don't know either
glad we are both dumb

What did we learn today.

Zucc shills cannot think for themselves

Pico 4 has slighty less peak than Quest 3 PPD but more even edge to edge PPD, better edge to edge clarity, and better vignetiting.

Average PPD is a function of FoV and screen resolution. Lens design can locally increase ppd in one part of visual field at a cost of other parts.


Weight distribution matters and Pico 4 has better one.

>>496863440
No if you bring screen closer the FoV increases and PPD drops . You cannot change average ppd while keeping FoV and resolution constant.

No its only youre dumb. Both Pico and Quest have around 20 average ppd, but quest lenses are more uneven and have slightly higher peak PPD im the middle of the screen 25 vs 22, this is a difference not noticable in real life contitions.

>>496863773
>You cannot change average ppd while keeping FoV and resolution constant
Do you... do you not know that you are looking through 2 plastic holes? Which is usually what restricts your FoV in headsets?
Do you think you have free floating screens in front of you?

You guys are also forgetting the visibility mask. Not the whole screen can be visible for users eye for a given lens/screen configuration and lens to eye distance. You might not be able to see the whole screen, which would reduce the amount of pixels in the visible FoV this reducing the average PPD. But most likely both Q3 and P4 are setup to maximalize used screen real estate.

>>496863773
You are right.
I am dumb for thinking I can bring in arguments where you need to visualize things. That was a clear lack of judgement on my part.

I am defeated and will retreat.

>>496863952
Optically speaking yes, there are 2 screens floating around 10 meters away from your eyes.
FoV is restricted by lens design and and screen size yes. But bringing vr headset closer or further from your eyes doesnt change PPD, it changes both FoV and amount of visible pixels.

>>496864182
You cant visualise things thats the problem. If you make the screen optically larger, the FoV of the screen becomes larger, but it doesnt magically gain more pixels, so PPD goes down. Think nigga, think.

If youd brought a sceeen in VR headset closer to the lens it would first:
Make it blurry, because the focus point is wrong.
We could correct that with some lens insert then:
The visual field limited by lenses would stay the same. So FoV doesnt change, the amount of visible pixels would go down, making the perceived PPD lower. There would be a lot of pixels outside of view, which still would be rendered wasting performance, so nobody does that. Every headaet has their lens FoV setup is such a way somit covers entire screen, but leaves the borders of the screen just outside the view, to not bother user.

So yes average PPD calculation formula is still valid: visible pixels (we can assume the whole screen) divided by FoV. You can increase middle peak PPD by reducing edge to edge clarity, which quest 3 has done using a lense which have a pincussion distortion of the screen.

>>496863563
>better edge to edge clarity
brother do you even own both the headsets you're trying to compare?
because I do, and you saying the pico 4 has better edge to edge clarity than the quest 3 is just a fucking flat out lie. anyone that owns both headsets will also just tell you you're full of shit. pico 4 lenses fall off hard on the edges of the display and the sweet spot is quite small.

but im guessing you don't even have both headsets to compare, just talking out your ass.

>>496865784
>Pico 4 lenses fall off hard on the edges of the display and the sweet spot is quite small

Zucc shill lies, got it

>>496638121
God I want to wear thigh highs
I'm 6ft 3 and used to body build
ngmi

>>496865964
just facts since i own both headsets and can compare them, something you can't do.

Its incredible how much cope zucced user produce. What makes zucced people be so defensive about their purchase? Is it sunk cost fallacy? Is it some subliminal messaging in zucc os?

>>496866150
Then why arent you saying anything about the vignette and binocular overlap issues causing perceived stereoincorrect rings being visible in the middle of visual field? That would shine light on quest 3 being bad headset? What about weight imbalance, shitty mic which makes you sound like youre slurring your words, speakers and strap which you get rid off immediately because they're so bad?

>>496866173
face tracking nice. I go oOo0oO0o

>>496866703
Thats only Quest Pro though, which has even worse comfort and worse microphone.

>>496866364
>Then why arent you saying anything about the vignette and binocular overlap issues causing perceived stereoincorrect rings being visible in the middle of visual field?
because i rarely, if ever, notice it
>What about weight imbalance speakers and strap which you get rid off immediately because they're so bad?
i get a comfortable strap with two batteries and never have to think about weight imbalance or battery life again. as far as speakers go, i dont like the ones on the quest or the pico, they're both audio built into the strap which sounds super meh.
>shitty mic which makes you sound like youre slurring your words
its fine enough, just like the pico mic is fine enough. neither of them are on bigscreen/index tier but neither of them are particularly awful

>>496866989
Pico 4 mic is miles better than quest 3 or quest pro

>>496867158
>miles better

>>496867158

>>496867158
Quest 3 mic is perfectly fine especially over vrc compression, only qpro is lacking (saying that as a pico owner btw)

How do you guys feel about the Quest 3S?

>>496874338
It's 95% a rebranded quest 2. Kind of worthless.

>>496874338
no reason to go for one over the quest 3 unless you're poor or plan to give it to a kid as a christmas gift

>>496874419
>>496874385
Thanks. Is the AR worth it or just a meme?

>>496874985
It's a meme

>>496874985
I think it's a meme because the camera resolution isn't high enough yet on top of headset weight being a hindrance for "spatial computing"
Maybe when they come out with those orion glasses it'll take off

>>496874985
100% a meme there's barely even any apps for it

>>496852259
>Is the Quest privacy invasive?
the hmd storage fills up with logs if its disconnected from the internet since it wants to send it all to the big zucc in the sky

>>496858682
>It works without needing an account or internet.
if you're willing to manually tweak the software you sideload then yea this can be true
there isn't any guidance on doing so, so if you want the easiest path to using the latest alvr/wivrn/w.e then you'll need the newest firmware to have it be compatible and not crash on any outdated firmware versions that require an account and internet connection verify the launch of every single app every single time including sideloaded apks

>>496876068
Pico Connect doesn't require an account.

Pico account is just email and password anyway.

>>496867619
challenging quest 3 owners about an hmd that cuts many corners is like kicking a hornets nest

>>496876302
the latest Pico Connect will require newest firmware which will enable the hmd's always-on checking of account login status on app launch though from my understanding
I used to use it without any login when testing on Windows but to use the latest WIVRN builds I had to update the firmware and thus unblock it from the internet to launch any apps again
i mostly got it to toy around with so its not the end of the world as it isn't my daily driver or anything, but it does scratch off a selling point it had for me

>>496900525
I don't know where that review is from but it is pretty accurate. I still use the audio strap with my bigmeme. It is still disappointingly bad audio for the price; still acceptable but I was hoping for index speaker quality. I put up with it because despite trying out a few other mods with the soft strap (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6414143) which are _almost_ good, they're just not as stable or convenient as the rigid back part of the audio strap with the knob to adjust the tension;

If you have the ability to 3d print some adapters and don't mind messing around a bit, I think you are better off getting some cheap quest head strap or the vive deluxe audio strap than the official bigmeme strap. Or at least try the soft strap mods and see if they work well enough for you. If you're lazy though, the official strap is easy and good enough, and way better than the default strap. jewish price though.

Quest 3 mic pisses me off so fucking much. On my Index I could piss and throw cans and the Index mic picked them up perfectly. Quest 3 on the other hand filters that shit out, and I'm currently looking at buying a wireless lav mic to fix this

>>496907320
don't know if you are writing this ironic, but I actually really hate the noise filtering that meta does by default, and you can't deactivate it.

>>496906469
Two more slots.

>>496900525
The review was from some guy in the discord who made it a pdf attachment. Here's the first part of it (it's only this page and the one you posted)

>>496907494
I was serious, it actually pisses me off, fuck meta. I'm legitimately looking at buying this just so I dont have to deal with the noise filtering shit. Only thing I have to figure out is keeping it fully charged since it only has a 5 1/2 hour battery life

>>496900525
>>496903954
>>496907838
I cannot believe I've heard some chucklefucks say it's among the best VR audio quality on the market, better than the Index even. Almost every impression I've heard of these had been it's just "alright".

>>496908162
>I cannot believe I've heard some chucklefucks say it's among the best VR audio quality on the market, better than the Index even.
Bigscreen shills are as rabid and as full of shit as Pimax shills unfortunately.
Just remember how not a single shilltuber mentioned how abhorrent the lenses are and how bad the edge to edge clarity is when the reviews for the headset first started coming out.

>>496908471
I just remember how THIS will CHANGE VR

>>496908471
I can completely respect people who prefer the BSB if they prioritize weight over literally fucking everything else in the VR experience, but what kills me is the rabid defense of it where the shills act like it is THE best at everything and totally revolutionary instead of a headset with major compromises like everything else that just does 1-2 things super well almost nobody else does.

The CEO being a lying piece of shit literally sending out emails to encourage people to astroturf and review without disclosing they get merch for it doesn't help things. Put me off the company entirely.

>>496909036
Every new product is the most revolutionary game-changing VR product according to these people.
Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product.

>>496907702
on the way

okay anon, time to make a decision
Odd: I will I drop into vrc tonight and drink

any world works man, dont sweat it. Alls fun with frens and alchy

>>496909381
gotta get those clicks

>>496910412
Back in hub, you can join anon.

>>496907702
lobby already shut down?

>>496911681
they're still gaming
you probably can't join during a mission

>>496911282
>Alls fun with frens and alchy
Man I just hope you consider me a fren :3

>>496908471
>I cannot believe I've heard some chucklefucks say it's among the best VR audio quality on the market
can't say I've seen much of that but I only probably watched a few pre-release/beta tester videos before I got my audio strap super early
we knew way ahead of time they were just koss drivers and those aren't anything special so if someone convinced themselves otherwise to get hyped up then they're retarded
>how abhorrent the lenses are
literally all videos mentioned distortion at edges
still fine for daily driving vr as pretty much every headset on the market (yes even the zuccbox) have imperfect lenses
that's just the nature of lenses and we won't be solving that until we figure out lightfield displays properly or some shit like full dive lucid dream control or some shit

>>496912567
>literally all videos mentioned distortion at edges
"with a bit of distortions on the edge, but it's not even that visible blabla"

>>496912968
as someone who has used vr since Rift DK1 its very easy to basically ignore the extreme edges of basically all hmd lenses
perhaps all that experience has trained me to do the wrong thing but the larger pancakes of the pico 4 pro also suffer from glare/distortion at the edges so its not purely a tiny beyond magnified optics kind of problem
even with glass aspherics you'll run into sweetspot issues or chromatic aberration if you're not in the right spot etc

Are there any VRChat worlds about exploring cool megastructures?

Is this the best bang for the buck router for pcvr?

>>496915132
wheres the wifi 7 meme router

>>496915132
if you want shit internals then yeah go for it

>>496912559
then bottles up anon, keeping a passive eye on the thread for alchy world

>>496915532
then what's better

>>496912567
>pretty much every headset on the market (yes even the zuccbox) have imperfect lenses
Yet none are as bad as the Beyond's

>>496917013
you say this and yet i have MANY headsets to directly compare against and its not an issue for me at all
the way you describe it makes it sound unusable and yet that isn't the case
weird how that works, eh?

>>496915132
yes, work on my machine

>>496891746
I can't believe there was no pypy today

Was fun. Will definitely join again when hosted.

if you want to get meme shit go for it, some people say its a good router.

NA Anime tonight at 10 pm est in vrchat. https://rentry.org/i3t5ozt8

The seasonal trash is over so we're just watching K-ON, episodes 4, 5, 6, and maybe 7 if we can stomach it. We'll be doing the usual multibox autism soon, maybe next week. Look out for posts with more details.

>>496915816
decided against it after all, 10ish people on, separated in 3 movie instances :D
it's a weekday after all, I guess

I miss when people just got on vrchat on a whim to hang out

>>496921002
drink with ya next time anon!

>>496921217
Nobody wants to make an instance and wait 30 minutes like a dumdum only for nobody to come. Some are not important enough to be considered a leaderfag or an anchor, so people will not join on them.

>>496900525
I'm tempted to buy a spare Index headstrap and figure out how to use it on the Bigscreen. I really like the bass and not having to deal with sweatiness when playing Beatsaber or what have you.

>>496921217
i'll hangout with u start up a world

Doesn't help when everyone who joins lives on orange.

>I hate when rando magnets bring randos

what are you supposed to do, make an account just for vrg and do the email verification humiliation ritual every time you want to hangout with vrg?

>>496928981
that's what I do
would be awkward if my furry friends joined on me otherwise

is wireless pcvr as good as wired?

>>496932298
no, its worse (sorta)

>>496922917
oh shit lets goooooooo
hopping in now give me 10

>>496932298
If you don't mind stereoincorrect bluriness, random blocky artifacts ans delay

>>496932298
no, its better (sorta)

>>496932298
The current options are better in some ways and worse in others. With the right setup, I think the tradeoffs are usually worth it, but it depends on what you're looking for.
You're not going to have any sort of reasonable discussion about it here though and you probably already know that.

>>496932298
Its horrible for any game with a lot of movement and detailed irregular textures.

>get a quest pro to compare to existing headsets and see how true the shilling really is
>passthrough is shit
>strap comfort is pretty bad
>need phone app to sign in for setup
>controllers are already showing signs of not being in the right spot relative to headset multiple times from initial tests
>charging dock is pretty finicky to place things on, know that its slow at charging anyway
>gray screen for eye tracking calibration immediately shows that the painted-on vignette for their lenses on the q3 originated here, very noticeable on a flat color
gee sure hope v69 update fixes all of that!
not sure what all is needed to sideload apks but dev mode seemed immediately toggleable so hopefully that's all I'll need

>>496932298
Visual quality? No of course not.
Experience? Depends how much the cable bothers you and what level your setup can get the wireless visuals to. There's a lot of variance between games in how noticable the compression is. Skyrim takes a noticable visual hit and I'd prefer to play wired. Walkabout minigolf hardly changes and I could never get a comfortable cable solution for that game.

>>496933653
See, that's what you get for listening to shills. Hopefully the face tracking is worth it for the tradeoffs though?

>>496933653
literally everything on the quest 3 is better except for face tracking and local dimming, plus its half the price

>>496878510
Hey i forgot to post the instance,but great dancing, here you have the vids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elAyakiE-LU&list=PLqVTVLsIotSkEUgHdhb5kV3GVuOd0J7zu

>>496934297
i already have a vive pro eye with face tracker and pico 4 pro for eyes/face technically as well as a babble on the way
im mostly biting the bait to see how the headset actually is in real life rather than in the dreams of what it apparently is supposed to be
>>496934392
>except for face tracking and local dimming
which are basically the selling points
q3 isn't even on my radar

>>496934556
why do you need 3 face tracking headsets?

>>496934712
because those are the headsets that have those features yet none of them are good enough overall

>>496933653
>>controllers are already showing signs of not being in the right spot relative to headset multiple times from initial tests
If you bought a second hand headset you have to delete physical space cache else the tracking will get confused.

In the headset go to Settings>Privacy and Safety>Device Permissions
At the bottom of that it has "Clear physical space history"

That would force your headset and controller to start creating a new internal cached of what your place looks like.
