**assuming streaming. Satisfactory, my current obsession, runs okay in the Frame but it’s definitely pushing it.

I’ve never had any kind of VR so this is all new to me, but having my game window in a comfortable place with other windows or desktops floating around me is the peak futuristic experience to me.

To reference one of my favorite books, Snow Crash, this is a place I could imagine meeting the Librarian and playing with a model of earth.

I could genuinely imagine working in this thing with the right peripherals.

Edit: flat, not 2D.

    I always saw it as a medium adjacent to flat gaming, not a substitute or upgrade

    Yeah I’d say that’s about where I’d put myself these days. I probably still play a bit more VR than traditional flat games, but I’d agree that now I see it more as different way of doing basically the same thing instead of that first year where I was convinced I’d never go back. The opportunity to give away some pretty sweet gifts was also a big part of why I gave away the consoles. I didn’t think I’d miss them, but I eventually came back around and repurchased some older ones for myself. Nothing from current gen though.

    I guess the fact that I was never much into using VR for virtual displays just surprised me a bit because of how otherwise obsessed with the medium I am. I’ve done it several times, and while it works well and I don’t really have anything bad to say about it, I just never went back after trying any particular game once or twice. I’m sure I’d feel differently if I traveled a lot or had to compromise with other people on who gets to use what screen. The thing that’s got me the most excited these days is all the VR mods of classic games that keep coming out. One of my favorite things to do in VR is to finally be able to experience a game I already love from that new perspective.
