The VR Thread

I generally go with KIWI design. Their products are good enough and don’t break the bank.

It doesn’t have padding, and is just a wrap for the normal default padding. So if it’s dirty, just gooi it in the wash. It’s not premium by any means, but it’s a cover, that you probably want multiple of, so that you can clean them without down time.

Also not a fan of that leatherette stuff in summer, because they become one with my face. :see_no_evil:

I see they’re out of stock, but here’s what looks almost identical

Thanks for the recommendation! Will check it out

Finally got around to buying some myopic lenses. O M G. Game changer, and it clips on magnetically. :raised_hands:

Thing is, I’d need a custom prescription for that. I have astigmatism, which is much worse in my right eye. I have no idea what my current prescription is, but I’m not convinced that these options would work for me. Regardless, their “customized” option doesn’t deliver to ZA. So, I suspect I’ll be stuck squashing my glasses into the headset.

I recently got newer specs. Actually asked a chap at Mullers, what to get. My eyes aren’t equal, I believe I’m 2.75 vs 3.25. And the lenses only come in increments of 1, so -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0. I settled on -3.0, and it’s still clear. Obviously, your mileage may vary. And if you needed more specific lenses per eye, then there are other VR lenses, I think.

Anyhoo, I risked it being rubbish or wrong, and it turned out to be perfect.

Just dropping in so say that in my hunt for quality VR games, over the past few months I’ve enjoyed playing Ancient Dungeon and HL2 VR mod.

This is a voxel-based, randomly generated dungeon crawler. you start off with a sword and throwing knife. Proceed through 5 distinct areas while collecting powerups that can sometimes completely change up the combat. There’s a lot of variety and replayability as you’d expect in a rogue-like. Final boss can go fly a kite though.

Free if you own the base game (which you should… obviously)
It’s the whole game, as is, in VR, what more could you ask for.
One major issue I have is that the source engine “loading new area lag” is a thing, and a bit jarring in VR.

Would you mind sharing more of the VR games you’d recommend?

I haven’t played much on my quest 2 in a while and would like to get some more game time on it.
