Virtual reality: to boldly game like we never gamed before...

Is it coming to PC?

So I just tried Overload and Sublevel Zero to see if I’d get any motion sickness. Thankfully there was none, yay! However, on my Quest 2 I got a lot of flickering in the cockpit in Overload. Anyone else see that?

Per the video Sony has partly funded it, so I’d say it may be at least a timed exclusive.

No flickering for me either. My stomach flickers a little, but Overload is a PC title that actually runs decently with a Q2 + mid-range gaming rig hardware.

Yeah it’s weird, I loaded it up again, and it’s like part of the cockpit moves out of sync with the rest of the cockpit, so pieces of it move where they shouldn’t every few seconds. This is with a Link cable too.

Man I don’t wanna join another Discord…(Thank you though)

Carmack and Boz did a AMA thing. No new devices for this year. Some teases inside.

Just received my vroptician lenses. Wow! Like a new headset! So clear!

The downside is the return of a very slight screendoor effect.

Isn’t joining another Discord the equivalent of going into a new Qt3 thread? (Sorry for the layman question, Discord confuses me so much since I have no real experience with it).

God no it’s completely and utterly different.

Yeah I have a minor effect on mine as well. I’m starting to get used to it.

I’m gonna gush again about Supernatural y’all. I use it for working out than I do gaming on the Quest 2. I’ve never looked forward to working out until now. It’s astounding and I love it.

How do you deal with sweat inside your headset? I sweat a ton when I work out - like I can lose 3-5 pounds. It seems like the foam thing would get gross and maybe sweat would get into places it shouldn’t. I kinda like the idea of Supernatural, not sure if I could swing the cost long term, or if my headset could hold up to it.

My solution was to purchase a Nike sweatband and a bunch of washable, sweat-proof gear for my Index from https://us.vrcover.com/

After a couple tries working out while wearing my headset, I gave up and ate more ice cream.

Then my wife got a Peloton cycle and my sweaty workout problems were solved! :)

LOL at all of this!

I got a silicon face cover which helps, and I wipe it down after every song. I also sweat a ton.

Which one did you get and are you happy with it?

Which cover did you get? I don’t wear glasses so fogging isn’t an issue, unless the VR lenses fog.

I just wish listed this and I’m sure will get it in not too long. Did you get the Oculus or Steam version? Do you know of any differences?

I have so much trouble keeping my weight in check because of eating wayyyyyy to many desserts. Sometimes I’ll eat a bag of chocolate chips (11 oz), maybe have some ice cream. When my son makes chocolate chip cookies it isn’t unusual for me to eat a batch in 2-3 days. I’m trying to be good again. I was as low as 204 lbs in early March. Since then I’ve been up to 213. I was under 200 briefly last July. I’m at least somewhat ahead of the game as I’m trying to turn it around at 213 instead of the 217-227 I’ve gotten up to in the past. I’m 6’1’', so anything under 200 is probably reasonable, but I’d love to get down to 185. If someone would only lock me in a room and feed me under the door :-)

I got this!

It works very well! I The Supernatural folks also sent one that works well.

I picked it up too and played the first 3 opponents. First guy, the sparring partner, was super easy. The second guy wasn’t too bad, I knocked him down a couple times but won on points. The 3rd guy was definitely a step up, and my left controller battery died in the 3rd round, which was the only round I lost and it was a draw. My arms were definitely getting tired and my heart rate was up for sure. I ordered a silicon cover that will come this week. I’ll have to see if there is a profile for cardio boxing for my garmin forerunner so it can track my calories.
