I think GameStop was selling them for around $600 a while back for a full kit. You could probably go cheaper on eBay or something, but there's always a higher risk factor there.
Yeah, the Index is still you're best bet unless you can afford the Bigscreen Beyond. Also, if you go with an Index, I strongly recommend you buy used or refurbished as new models are still $1000 which is not worth it anymore imo.
You're right. I'd almost completely forgotten this existed.
Depending on the headset you're using, she could just message you either through Steam or the Meta app.
Meta's servers weren't working correctly earlier today, and the issue rendered all Quest headsets temporarily unusable.

This is resolved now, but it's still ridiculous this could even happen. A good reminder of how "open" the Quest line is Zuck.
Resolution Games, the brilliant studio behind Demeo Battles, is bringing its expertise to a Dungeons & Dragons virtual reality game.

Coincidentally, I spent about two hours last night just finding pictures I could use for posters. Then I downloaded all kinds of user made content, and haven't even gotten into doing anything with it yet. I've only actually played one game so far. Lol
Viverse Joins The Fediverse? "The Fediverse Explained: Social Media’s Next Form"
The fediverse is a network of social media platforms that are interconnected. Find the answers to fediverse FAQs here.

Apparently HTC's "Viverse" is adding Mastodon integration and more in the future. Very interesting.
If you're in to VR, "The 7th Guest VR" came out last fall, and it's actually really good.
It looks like Valve doesn't want to get involved in a potential dispute between the creator of Portal 64 and Nintendo.
![That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ae6fe70b-37f0-4202-90f4-ac6236d63e55.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.
Agreed. Also, party on dude!
I think this is correct.
You see? That's literally not what I said. I seem to have struck a nerve with you here and I'm not sure why. But go ahead. Give me my downvote that I apparently care so much about.
Fair enough. I tend to think downvotes are warranted when it's not adding anything to the conversation and/or are somewhat hostile. Not that it's worth anything at this point, but the downvote was because I literally just explained myself on the very post they were responding to. People are just putting words in my mouth at this point just because they want to disagree, and at some point it's easier to downvote that to repeat myself.
Oh, I'm aware. I've just never heard of "Downvote Fairies". In any case that was never my point, as I've explained.
Who's freaking out my dude? My point was this wouldn't have happened if THEY didn't know who I was. You and others make some good points about some how this happens regardless, and how there are upsides to seeing who downvotes you. I honestly wasn't aware this was a common thing until now. It's why I asked if this has happened to anyone else. Chalk it up to me being a bit naive.
I don't. That's why I called them imaginary internet points. Lol. My point was about the fact that you can see who downvotes you.
True, but if they hadn't seen it was me that downvoted them in the first place, they wouldn't know who to stalk, and I wouldn't have to call anyone out at all. Really though, I can still see both sides here. I'm just bitter it happened to me. Lol
I'm starting to see some serious downsides to being able to see who downvotes you.
A few days ago I downvoted someone's comment, and the next day I happened to notice every single comment I've ever made had at least one downvote. All from the person I dared to downvote the ONE time. I straight up asked why they did it, and they seem to think I'm an "obvious" troll account that "apparently just exist to downvote other people". I assure you I'm no troll account, and ironically don't really downvote all that often. I know the topic of public downvotes has been discussed before, but I never used to care either way. Now I'm kinda leaning in the "I don't like it" side. Honestly, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a little offended, maybe even attacked. Also, there goes all my imaginary internet points. Lol Has anyone else had something like this happen to them, or am I just unlucky?
What the actual fuck? One downvote is all it took and this dude thinks I'm a troll. (Make that two, lol) If anyone else is reading this, I'm very real and this is my main account. Lol. Jesus Christ.
Hi there Dark thoughts! I'm just curious as to why you've downvoted every single comment I've ever made on Kbin. Is this something you do to everyone who downvotes you one time? Seems a little extreme and immature don't ya think?
Thanks for referencing Rush so I didn't have to. Lol
We're making The Witching Season II!

I quite enjoyed the original series. (I even bought it on VHS, Lol). Really, they're just good Halloween vibes.
I agree Steam Home could use a little love, but I'm hoping this is just a sign of things to come. I mean 2.0 was supposed to come out like 3 years ago, so the fact it's finally happening is encouraging.
SteamVR 2.0!

Valve did a thing.
Rather than a fully standalone headset, is Valve building a consolized living room PC capable of powering wireless VR?

An addendum to my previous post. Maybe it wasn't just a VR headset but a VR console?
Just recently I wrote about potential new hardware coming from Valve related to Galileo and Sephiroth that could be a Steam Deck refresh or new VR kit. Now we have basic initial details on a device being certified in South Korea.

I'm not saying it's a new VR headset, but it could totally be a new VR headset.

While this focuses on Resident Evil, I thought this captures how VR can enhance games on general.
Immersed just announced Visor, a wireless productivity headset with 4K OLED microdisplays, inside-out tracking, and color passthrough. Full details here:

No price yet, but considering it's being pitched as headset for work, it probably won't be cheap.

I love this stuff. A bit beyond the scope of anything I could do, but nice to know it's possible.
