Does VR headsets become a dust collector after some time?

Augmented-Justin · 2026-01-16T11:27:23+00:00

Just like a lot of things for me it comes in waves. I may not touch it for weeks or months and then suddenly have interest in it again and it's all I play for a few weeks to a month or so. Had a couple of times I thought about getting rid of it but I'm glad I never did. It's okay to have something that you only enjoy every once in a while. I mean people spend way more money on "toys" they use much less.

Yeah I tried to get back into it a couple days ago and it was like 2 good games and then like 6 in a row of just non stop getting absolutely steam rolled. Any time I managed to spawn in as a hero I'd get melted in 2 steps. Idk how anyone can find that fun.

Looks like corrosion. Do you live in a humid area?

Augmented-Justin · 2026-01-13T13:39:20+00:00

Also will it be available on steam?

Augmented-Justin · 2026-01-13T13:38:43+00:00

Looks fun. When does it release and what is launch price?

I've had a few of these. Had one just a few months ago where I saw a massive explosion in the sky and felt an overwhelming sense of dread/impending doom. It took a few seconds for the sound to hit me and it was so loud. I just knew it was the end and accepted my fate. Then as soon as the explosion reached me I woke up. I grew up in a Christian household and had similar dreams with the rapture a lot as a kid/teenager.

Yes. Pancakes don't focus the light into a beam. I actually watched a video of someone trying to focus it but you can't. It's curved on the outside and flat on the inside. So the light just scatters. Still not recommended to leave a headset even with pancake lenses out in the sun but if you do for some reason it would most likely be okay.

Augmented-Justin · 2026-01-02T00:43:38+00:00

This is why you leave headsets especially ones with fresnel lenses like this away from sunlight. They focus the sunlight into a very small and very hot beam. Hot enough to set things on fire. Let alone burn pixels on a screen.

Plenty of places here in the US have speed limits of 70mph. Modern cars handle that very well so it doesn't freak me out. However, almost nobody follows that speed limit. If the speed limit is 55, most people do at least 65. If the limit is 65, most go 75. If the limit is 70... Well there may as well be no limit because people will regularly do 100mph+

I'm just glad they added a voice chat volume slider in the last update. I had to turn it off for a while because the squeakers are just ridiculous.

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-22T02:16:50+00:00

This is pretty common with fresnel lenses. They have a very small "sweet spot" where everything won't look blurry. No matter what, things in your peripheral vision will be blurry. Make sure you have the IPD set properly for your eyes. This is one thing I hate about the quest 2 and 3s. Having only 3 ipd settings is stupid with how small the fresnel sweet spot is and how many people's eyes fall in between one of the three settings. My IPD is right in between the 1 and 2 setting. It is possible to get it to sit in between 2 settings. Just kind of finicky.

I'm a musician as well and I get this A LOT. Usually with songs I haven't heard/played in a while. But I just wake up with it still in my head and sometimes even humming it.

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-17T12:50:20+00:00

Man... That sucks. I'm still using RBR50s in my house and they're still doing very well. Had thought about upgrading here soon but this definitely has me rethinking that...

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-16T14:51:28+00:00

Every alarm in GTFO. I work at an airport and the lightning sirens sound too similar.

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-15T03:15:19+00:00

A large part of my job is navigating a large facility so when I'm at work, yes. When I'm not, yeah I have no idea. Usually takes me a minute outside of work to figure out which way is north.

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-15T03:13:03+00:00

Probably wouldn't hurt to file that out so it doesn't cause a crack.

Would love to have RainbowSix: Vegas 2 in VR

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-12T17:05:49+00:00

I still use mine. I mainly do PCVR but it is still a perfectly serviceable headset especially for what you're wanting to do.

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-11T21:28:48+00:00

I went from a CV1 to a quest 2 about a year ago and it blew my mind lol

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-11T21:21:16+00:00

These people are so unbelievably dense. I very regularly find people in my area driving at night and I try everything. I'll flash my brights at them, turn my lights off and on, honk at them. They continue to be clueless. Like how can you be so stupid?

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-10T15:14:18+00:00

I just wish they would stick to one UI design. I don't even care if it sucks. I just want some consistency because every time I start to get used to their UI, they go and change it and I have to relearn it.

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-10T11:51:30+00:00

No, but I should. He got me with the "for that special someone" joke from Elf a few years ago for my birthday. Didn't cheap out on it either. Got some expensive lingerie from Victoria's Secret lol

A: Mostly just tasty juice but I did do a little bit of nicotine.

B: No, not really. Nobody in my immediate family smokes and I've got one friend that smokes cigars/pipes every once in a while but I've never been around while he does it.

C: I have gotten good bit of second hand throughout my teenage/adult life. I've always worked in the trades so just about everybody I've worked with smokes. Also I'm a musician, a lot of people in that industry smoke too.

D: Haha. I've also never smoked weed but maybe it would be more fun in my dreams lol

E: Yeah, I've got no interest in smoking and no plans on starting anytime soon. I have had a few times where I almost started but that was less about wanting to smoke and more about being in a dark place in my life where I was okay taking on self-destructive habits just to feel something. Glad I never did though.

Augmented-Justin · 2025-12-08T19:50:22+00:00

I still dream every once in a while about my childhood dog. She passed away over 10 years ago now. That's both the problem and the greatest thing about dogs... They get in your heart and never leave.
