Methinks they’ve given up on earth.

I am quite similar and it turns out I’m on the autistic spectrum. I was excited to discover this as it explained sooo much about myself. Just my 2 cents

I used MIUI.EU on Xiaomi phones for some years and it was pretty great (and inexpensive). But I wouldn’t suggest it in the USA because the carriers here don’t always play nice with them.

I wish I had some good ones but I’ll be watching this thread.

What I can say is that anyone on youtube that’s got a channel dedicated to a particular hustle is no longer making their money doing that hustle. They are an influencer now.

That’s awesome! Glad she’s doing well

And he did it In the United States. Bro what were you thinking?

I’m just giving the OP a suggestion to look into to see if it’s something they might be interested in. You sound like a teenager fanboying for the console of their choice and shitting on anything else. Go back to reddit with that shit.

VR is expensive

It doesn’t have to be, which is why I’m saying start with a Quest. A Quest 3S is cheaper than other consoles out there. We also don’t know OP’s financial situation. This is not a child we’re talking about.

cumbersome

I’ll give you that in regards to a front-heavy Quest. Other headsets are much better in terms of comfort. But myself and others would spend hours a day in a Quest 2 when it came out and we survived.

Needs extra space

The vast majority of games can be played sitting down. And most standing games have you standing in place. I live in an RV and manage fine.

has very few games

That’s simply not true anymore. And we don’t know what kind of games OP would like.

Again, I’m not saying VR is the only solution for OP. I’m simply making a suggestion that nobody else had mentioned yet. Maybe it’s for them, maybe it’s not. That’s for OP to decide.

Didn’t know poppy was still around. She’s interesting but I can’t help but think that song would have been better without her.

I don’t blame you. Personally I use a Pico 4 and don’t touch Quest. I’ve got two PCVR gaming rigs, full body tracking with lighthouses etc etc. But we’re not taking about me, or you, or an experienced gamer. We’re talking about a 30-something whose never touched a controller.

For someone that’s new and wants to see what VR is about a Quest is undeniably the easiest way to try things. Then they can decide to upgrade from there if they so choose.

Your personal experience isn’t everyone’s experience. VRChat alone is worth spending some time in (assuming you escape the kids). I know some people that Only play Walkabout Mini Golf, and there’s nothing wrong with that. For someone completely new to gaming I think it’s a good start. Wish there’s been a shitload of new VR games this year.

Get a Quest 3! If you’re brand new to gaming I think VR is more intuitive than picking up a traditional controller for the first time.

Someone replied to this message, proving that the world hasn’t yet ended!

I primarily use Lemmy. It’s the only place to really find intelligent conversation. I hop over to reddit on occasion for topics that just aren’t here yet. But almost every comment thread is either full of bots or those with little reading comprehension.

I feel like Threads was dead on arrival. I never hear about it anymore since it’s launch. Never tried it though so I can’t really say first hand how active it is.

That’s great and all but we’re going to be needing food and air conditioning.

However, if widespread murder of the innocent begins taking place, please disregard my peaceful message.

We’re a year deep into the slaughter of Gaza.

I would hope so, but americans have proven time and time again that they are spineless.

Accurate

You already have! Congratulations! That last one, was the last one. Throw away the rest, you’re done.

Every fucking day. I hate it so much!

Also, when I had a lawn, I had an electric mower, electric leaf blower, electric edger… Because I’m not an asshole. I also like having less maintenance. Why is that so fucking hard?

I know the world has much bigger problems to focus on right now but I dream of a time when loud ICE engines are banned at least in residential zones.
