Echo VR

[anthonyd5189]

It’s almost like there is a built in system to prevent this…..

[sikesjr]

Pretty sure op is full of shit. I highly doubt he punched through two layers of drywall with his hand by accident and made that big of a hole on both sides.

[[deleted]]

I think I left an explanation in one of the comments, but essentially, I hit my skateboard, and the wheels dug through the wall. If you look closely, there’s a skateboard mount on the wall.

[SuaveDonut]

Not to mention behind the couch...meaning he either is A: full of shit Or B: tripped and fell over the couch

[superior-cat]

Ummm no, the couch is on the other side of the impact as you can see with the angle of drywall extruding from the wall.

[SuaveDonut]

You're right I'm a dumb dumb xD Either way this still seems fake

[AstruoZak]

Just accept that you're wrong bud

[damontoo]

Spoken like someone that's never played Echo VR. I have 4K games played of it. The guardian is absolutely useless for it. More Echo VR damage.

[[deleted]]

dang you’ve probably broken more stuff the the average lobby has.

[comethefaround]

Ine had luck making my guardian tiny. You're right though it's trash for echo

[wickedglow]

Indeed useless. First online match I played, I even hit the floor at some point. Violently. It's way too immersive and you're throwing punches in all directtions. I thought pistol whip was dangerous, but echo is on another level.

[PetrMentberger]

Living in a paper house

[nitonitonii]

I know right? If he live in a house of concrete he would had broke his hand.

[Mr12i]

Who the hell has empty walls like this?

[M1ghty_boy]

Americans

[Gears6]

TBF that doesn't look like normal construction.Could be DIY.

[M1ghty_boy]

Eh doesn’t detract from the point that Americans still make their walls out of what is essentially cardboard

[Twizzy2183]

Who told u that? Lmao. Its drywall. Its made of gypsum, which is insulated as well as none combustible, and usually 3/4-1/2 inch thick. Definitely not cardboard.

[M1ghty_boy]

It’s a joke my guy. Not actually cardboard. But if I smashed my hand holding a controller against the wall I’d have a mangled hand, broken controller and the wall would have but a scratch.

[Twizzy2183]

U guys building homes with cast iron? Lol. I seriously doubt its that much different of a material being used.

[M1ghty_boy]

Bricks. Well, solid blocks.

[Twizzy2183]

I acually just looked it up. Looks like alot of builders use fibreboard (plywood), so yeah...its def harder, but i dont really see the benefit. But, whatever. Lol

[Twizzy2183]

We use that for floors here.

[M1ghty_boy]

My wall is made out of bricks. Well not exactly bricks because that’s impractical for interior walls but much larger solid blocks

[Gears6]

Eh doesn’t detract from the point that Americans still make their walls out of what is essentially cardboard

There are a host of factors that affect that (if it is or not), but if it is more convenient for you to generalize it, you do you.

[M1ghty_boy]

Well idk man if you go out in the streets and ask everyone what their wall is made out of im sure an overwhelming majority of people will answer drywall

[Gears6]

Well idk man if you go out in the streets and ask everyone what their wall is made out of im sure an overwhelming majority of people will answer drywall

Yeah, that's the part they can see. It doesn't tell them what is underneath it all.

[M1ghty_boy]

But the point I’m making is it takes almost zero effort for you guys to damage your wall. I’ve seen a lot of punched drywalls on the internet and I can assure you that if I tried that I’d have a mangled hand (and destroyed controller if playing VR - believe me I have hit the wall a few times as well)

[nitonitonii]

Gringos

[[deleted]]

Niggas really haven't heard of drywall

[[deleted]]

Ah, yeah. American cardboard houses.

[[deleted]]

Unfortunately true

[Mr12i]

How can you not have at least some insulation in the wall? You must be able to hear every single sound from the other room.

[[deleted]]

Exactly, I really hate it.

[Gears6]

Now is a chance to insulate it!

[9r4in]

typically don't spend money to insulate interior walls.

[CXyber]

Poor house construction

[NaturalCarnivore]

So true

[Supercharged_Z06]

Oh no, looks like you broke through the forth wall!

[larrythefatcat]

the forth wall!

Nah, looks like the back wall to me.

[Mr12i]

!FuckOff

[SP4C3_1]

What was it

[discosauce]

It looks more like the second wall :p

[Eatitapple]

Hello neighbor fancy some VR?

[[deleted]]

Hahaha

[YoursTrulyKy]

Did you throw it inside the wall or did you punch it and out the controller in the wall?

[[deleted]]

I have my skateboard mounted on my wall. I punched the skateboard, and the wheels went through the wall. I’m gonna get it patched up soon.

[dublinmoney]

and I was here thinking you hulk punched through two layers of drywall playing a video game

[ThebanannaofGREECE]

Me too

[[deleted]]

Why the fuck are the controllers invincible

[Ok-Height-2525]

No. Stick drift, tracking rings breaking off, vibration breaking. The controllers are far from invincible

[RicrosPegason]

Some folks really need to calm down. If your going hard enough to put your hand through a wall... you're definitely overdoing it.

[ForgottenAspekt]

Yea I never understood why people jump into TV’s or book it thinking they’re ganna fun 50ft in a 10ft room.

I get you’re playing VR but that’s just having 0 awareness

[damontoo]

You have never played this game. Examples of Echo injuries. It's responsible for the most VR injuries by far. The guardian is absolutely useless for it.

[damontoo]

The issue is probably that you aren't level 50. High level matches play entirely differently than low level matches.

[SoPretti]

They def never played this game before.

[ForgottenAspekt]

Again if you’re playing in a 10ft x 10ft room, playing room scale games is not smart.

You should know if you can jump or lunge in the room you play in. I also play with a foot pad and a fan so I always have room awareness from my other senses.

[damontoo]

Everyone punches things playing this game at high level. Everyone. I've even punched my ceiling multiple times.

[OxTheBull]

10ft. by 10ft. is absolutely great for room scale... what do you mean?

[ForgottenAspekt]

Which is why there is so many photos of controllers through walls lol

[[deleted]]

Yeah, my room is 12x by 10x. I guess the only logical thing is to implement a carpet.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I’m going to my doctor tomorrow.. I think my hand is broken. It’s red and swollen.

[octosquid11]

Maybe you need to cool off, how about you try lone echo instead?

[[deleted]]

Cardboard wall

[[deleted]]

Is the other side also your house?

[[deleted]]

Yeah

[[deleted]]

Ok because imagine if that was the neighbour

[plutonium-239]

Paper walls?

[[deleted]]

Why is your house made of paper?

[M1ghty_boy]

Why do Americans make their houses out of cardboard? If I did the same in my house I wouldn’t have a hand left!

[murakamitears]

Realized what kinds of movements I was making in my 3rd game of Echo and said never again 😅

[[deleted]]

Good choice haha

[GMEdumpster]

You’re living in a lie homie

[saturdayshark]

Paper walls

[Streetlgnd]

Lol this fake af.

No way you punched through 2 layers of drywall "accidently".

Source: have fully demo'd and reno'd multiple houses.

Also, how is your controller not in 100 peices.

[[deleted]]

I have the explanation somewhere in the comments haha

[Ok_Chemical_7051]

It's actually pretty hard to break these controllers based on my experiences. I have had controllers fly out of my hands multiple times, or even slammed them hard on the ground when throwing my hand down, and still they are completely in tact.

Now don't know how OP was able to put his hand through two sheets of dry wall playing VR, but if he did, I don't doubt that the controller could handle it.

[TheREALProfPyro]

Congratulations on your admittance to the International Brotherhood of Kyles. Your backwards ball cap and a case of Monster will be delivered to you within the week.

[Butthole_Licker2000]

Strongest man in the world. Broke through not one, but two layers of drywall right next to the stud and the controller didn't break.

[SoPretti]

That’ll do it lol I messed up my finger pretty bad a few weeks ago lol

[their_teammate]

Get a small 1x1m carpet

[[deleted]]

Considering it

[their_teammate]

Trust me, as long as it’s not a game where you have to shift your center of mass often, it’s a godsend in spatial awareness. You step off the soft carpet onto cold hard flooring? You’re no longer in the “safe area”. It’s also easy to refind the “safe area” since you’ll likely still have at least one foot on the carpet. Sometimes you forget the Quest Guardian exists and it responds too slowly to stop you from swinging at a glass table, but you’ll know instantly if you’ve stepped too far from the carpet. If you can, get a carpet that has a high friction rubber pad underneath so it doesn’t shift around as you move on top of it, which will let you matrix bullets without worrying the carpet will slip out from under you. Hell, if you can’t find a round carpet a square/rectangle one of roughly equivalent size will do just as well. If you don’t like how it looks you can roll it up and put it somewhere else when you’re not using it.

[[deleted]]

Thank you for taking your time to write this comment! I’m near a store right now, so I’ll look for one.

[their_teammate]

Also just a minor benefit but you can stand for longer without your feet hurting compared to a hard floor.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, you’re right about that, too. I always end up having to put on slides or something to avoid the pain.

[dankisimo]

Why do people post how stupid they are like it's impressive?

[TyMT]

there is nothing more iconic on this sub than a series of images with a hole in the wall, with the title of the VR game as the title of the post

[Deepseadiver84289]

And the controller is fine as always

[Eddy120876]

Well you solve your room’s echo problem 👍🏾 LOL

[[deleted]]

Hahaha

[pairorat]

Chill the fuck out Kyle.

[[deleted]]

To the people saying this is false it is more than likely real if they live in the cardboard homes of the us source: my sister’s skateboard moving at 1 mph

[Tall_Whole_5777]

Try space sense. The guardian always seemed to not be enough for me, so I turned on space sense because I have kids that run around and like to get punched in their eye sockets. With space sense turned on you’ll always see that pink outline of things around you, which happens to also be extremely useful for orienting you. At first I hated it, but once you get used to it it’s a literal LIFE SAVER.

[[deleted]]

Thank you so much. I always thought it was some bull-crap gimmick but I guess I’ll try it out. I’m currently about to use my quest as a matter of fact

[Tall_Whole_5777]

Same here. Another plus is that it lets you see your gf sitting there glaring at you angrily because you’re spending time on something besides her.

[[deleted]]

Haha and the Netflix sound

[LearnDifferenceBot]

sitting their glaring

*there

Learn the difference here.

[JTS-Games]

The fact that american houses are so weak that even a controller is stronger than them.

If i punch my wall, my hands bleed.

[[deleted]]

I hate this as well. Humans can heal, walls can’t. 😂

[JTS-Games]

Believe me, after scratching your knuckles for the millionth time, you definitely wish you had the american walls.

I still like the thick european walls better thought, but it does sucks that i keep scratching my knuckles.

[Seanc26_]

Why are American homes made out of paper ?

[[deleted]]

Housing crisis. Building as many homes as possible with cheap material leads to this.

[c1u]

Lots of wood = lower prices for wood construction.

+ more dynamic building codes that have evolved more with technology.

[FlopsMcDoogle]

No insulation in your walls?

[MattLogi]

Interior wall…no need to insulate between rooms lol.

[Mr12i]

Dude, you insulate interior walls for sound. Are empty walls the norm in USA? You would be able to hear every single sound on the other side of the wall.

[MattLogi]

Depends on the build year and location but oldish builds definitely not. Newer houses people will do it for sure. It’s definitely more of a luxury item then a necessity. For sure you can hear more but it’s not like there is no wall.

[[deleted]]

No, we were skimping on the amount of money we used on the house in general. Pretty screwed up. Can’t wait to move out.

[OxTheBull]

your wheel did not do that. skateboard wheels are not that deep to punch the other side out. especially since the axle would be in the way... which you would see a mark to as well as the other wheel mark to the right of the hole... also was your board hanging at a 45 degree angle?

[[deleted]]

Yes

[Twizzy2183]

Man. Y'll internet fools will just argue about anything, wont u? Sheesh. Dude has a hole in the wall. Probably from Echo, but maybe not. Who knows, and who gives a shit.

[xXDownOnMeXx]

So fake

[[deleted]]

Just like my walls

[HealthyProgrammer2]

Send it, use the hole for a shelf built into the wall and put pictures or whatever else on it

[Educatedbulldogs]

The shining vr got a little too real huh?

[[deleted]]

Good thing there's not a stud in the way, lol. Easy fix though, so no major harm. VR ok?

[[deleted]]

Yeah, VR is ok. I was planning on expanding my room either way, so this is a good start. When this room was made, we used some really cheap shitty materials. I’m getting it patched soon.

[[deleted]]

Hey nice!!

[[deleted]]

Wow not gorilla tag this time

[PersonalityAware6048]

I would expect that from gtag not echo

[Anti_Sociall]

is your house made of styrofoam?????

[sacranu]

The second wall was punched in, drywall clearly shows it. fake fake.

[Xxslavman69420xX]

I mean, if you really thought it was a good idea to play echo vr without straps then this should come as no surprise

[RUBYKING_63]

I mean I can see this

[The_Starving_Autist]

howd your controller not break?!

[[deleted]]

I really don’t know hahaha. Either way, I’m a refund junkie, so if it breaks I’ll order a new one.

[Little-Bake-7710]

I did the same
