I recently made a purchase of a HP Reverb G2 V2 and hope it will serve me well as a brand new PCVR user. I made the purchase after having a couple hours of fun in the now discontinued HTC Vive that is available for use at my university. I want to be able to play a few good games, not necessarily a whole lot lol. Currently looking at Beat Saber, Bonelab, Hyperdash, and of course Half Life Alyx. Maybe will try VR Chat, but as someone averse to talking with other humans, I will stay away from that for now xD. Maybe when I’m feeling brave I’ll give VR Chat a shot.

I was and am amazed how fun just playing Beat Saber in “older” hardware was, but man it truly was a different experience than traditional pc gaming…I haven’t paid much attention to VR since having a terrible letdown experience in a cheap Samsung Gear VR experience that was powered by my old Samsung S7 Edge smartphone. While I don’t and should try to increase the volume of news I read, I did see that Meta released the Meta Quest Pro and there was other news abou the Metaverse and their Horizon Workrooms. Thus, this led me down a small rabbit hole, and I found that my school had a HTC Vive I could use without much hassle (convenience and how many hoops I have to jump through to convince people to just let me use it are important factors for getting me through the door). Now here I am, hoping for some fun. Also, am not really telling too many of my IRL friends about this, it appears our interests are in different things. I wonder what this says about me; aren’t overlapping interests one of the strongest pulls for the creation of friendships? I think I would like to experience that, but due to past problems, I’ll share my sheer excitement here without fear of being bullied for expressing my true joys.

Before my brain jumps from one thing to another randomly, I hope you have a good day internet stranger and find what matters to you and make it your life, make the hours in the day meaningful to you or else someone else will make your hours theirs to benefit. 👋
