    What you guys planning on doing with a steam frame?

    I have used vr for like 3 games and then racing games. But thats about it.

    Really difficult to justify 1k+ for a device that to me feels like a novelty outside racing games.

      I had an original Vive, and I enjoyed it. There’s not too many exclusive VR games, but there are other experiences. For example, 3D movies are viewable without the shitty experience that is a 3D TV. There are also a lot of traditional games that have good VR experiences. Also, obviously, porn.

      I used my Oculus CV1 a fair bit before I had to stow my PC for a while. Then of course meta made it so you needed to get a special secret user account on a new service which I could never get to validate, and their stuff didn’t work in Linux anyway, so …

      But shooting games, space sims… Various things.

      Minecraft!! I already have hundreds of hours in just Vivecraft with no extra Mods, but I’ve been really getting into the whole of Create Mod (with Aeronautics and Coasters Simulated) recently and those would be amazing in VR. My Quest 1 setup is really starting to struggle though, so I’m putting off a full Create + VR playthrough for the frame.

      I also kinda want to get into VR Chat, I think. Just to try that whole “socializing” thing, see what the fuss is about.

      Other than that, I’m fine with having a novelty device. I used to really like VR for studying since it forced my Adhd ass to keep the studying material in my field of view. But now I’m done with my education (and on some proper medication) so it’s not much of a use case anymore.

        I really kinda love vr. I had a dev kit back in tge day and bought tge vive when it came out. Things that are pretty outdated right now i assume. I can’t stress enough how much i love the idea of vr and whatever, but for some reason i get sweaty as hell, i kinda get dizzy, depending on the game. But more than anything else, for some reason it scares the piss oht of me, and i don’t know why. Scary Movies and video games do nothing for me. With vr it’s embarrassing. The best game i played was half life and minecraft (a really early build) i ripped my headset of playing half life and i pushed further until the point where you first encounter these big walkers and i just couldn’t. It’s weird, and i don’t know if that is something i would ever get used to.
