Lately I hit a bit of an art block so I haven't been very active on here lately and I got sucked into Final Fantasy XIV again. Then as of yesterday my Oculus Quest 2 arrived! I'm not sure if I mentioned before, but I'm a bit of a VR fanatic. I really think VR and such things are the way of the future entertainment wise. My romance with VR started with the Vive and then graduated to the Index until I had my kiddo which made playing VR a bit impossible due to lack of time, space, ability to quickly set up and take down etc. I was chatting with a friend who is also a VR enthusiast to the point where he has replaced his computer monitors simply with a VR headset. He mentioned how the Quest 2 is really amazing so I started looking into it. Let me say that first off people who say VR is not possible for them due to price might want to rethink that. The Quest 2 for the base model is $300 about the same as a Nintendo switch. Also you don't need a computer for it because the Quest 2 doesn't require a computer or base stations for hand tracking. No wires! It's amazing! There are a few things you have to do to get it to wirelessly talk to your computer so you can play steam games, but it's worth the hassle! Also takes zero time to set up. The index is still a bit more comfortable to wear, but for price and ease of use it far surpasses my expectations! I can't wait to dive back into my games! Today while my kiddo napped I sat next to him and made virtual pottery...yes I know doesn't sound exciting, but it was really fun XD. I'm looking forward to playing Skyrim on it this weekend when I have a bit more time. The controllers are going to take some getting used to. I'm still a huge fan of the steam knuckle controllers for the index. The way they hug your hands and enable you to just let go if needed is one of my favorite things about them. I am also looking forward to spending time in tilt brush and getting creative!
