As much as i love the powerposters keeping this place alive. I also wanna know whats going on a personal level with my fellow lemmings?

What do you play? What hardware do you use? Anything interesting involving software?

This place needs some involvement besides snarky comments on the newest bullshit our tech overlords try to pull.

Like i distro-hopped to cachyOS and i'm amazed how well VR works on Linux compared to half a year ago.

But this post isnt about linux. Just something i(!) experience right now. Gimme your best Windows VR Games. Who cares. Make this community about ourselves!

Does anyone have experience with the PS VR2? What are your thoughts on it?

I'm planning on playing No Mans Sky... possibly Fallout 4 VR(againnnn) and definitely any highly recommended indie titles.

I've got one, mostly just play beat saber on it to try to be more active. They've dropped support for it, which means it's still playable but won't get any more updates. I can still buy new songs but don't intend to give meta any more money (seriously, fuck this capitalist system where shitty companies buy up decent ones). If Linux support gets going for the PC link, I might get more use out of it with games on there.

Another advantage of psvr2 is that it's all self-contained, so no need to set up sensors and such for motion tracking. Downside is the controllers need to be visible to the headset cameras to be tracked properly, so some movements where they go behind the body or your arms cross can cause it to lose track briefly.

Also, you can't buy controllers separately (or at least couldn't last I checked). My post history has my account of fixing joystick drift after accidentally throwing one of them, since I preferred that option over sending the whole thing back to Sony for service or buying another full psvr2 kit. Still works well today.

Way nicer optics than my Quest2. Annoying about the cable. We bought it close to launch so no alternative counterweight headstraps etc, so not as comfortable as my BoboVR battery headstrap on the Q2.

We've since sold the PS5 and were wondering if we were going to get the PC adapter for the PSVR2 (likely as the PS5 was replaced with a gaming PC).

Nicer optics, get the better headstrap/weight. Check.

Any ps5 vr games you liked that I might not be aware of?

Sadly no, we looked into PS exclusives vs what was available on the PC/Quest and just weren't overly blown away.

The Call of the Mountain is like The Climb, with combat mechanics... and my partner never ended up really playing much of it. I just preferred setting up and using my Quest instead.

I've wishlisted the PSVR2 PC Adapter, and we'll give it one more go as a PCVR headset.
