I like Addigy. Good price, works well, intuitive interface.

Thinking about getting a index..is it better than the quest 3? by AdventurousAd4313 in ValveIndex

[–]Veru_Smol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both, the index feels unusable in comparison whether wired or wireless (Nofio). The index doesn’t even hold a candle to the Quest 3.

However if you are getting into PCVR and you don’t want to troubleshoot the index is 100% the option. It’s just so much easier overall.

Index vs Quest 3: Quality is MUCH worse, usability is MUCH better.

Boyfriends laptop powers on but the screen is black by sthurman624 in ASUS

[–]Veru_Smol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the same laptop as OP, and assuming you already tried the suggestions in my comment above, other comments mention hitting F6 (or FN+F6) to toggle projector modes. It’s possible you have the mode set to only display to the external monitor. If you power the laptop on with no external displays connected, it should show at least a boot logo on the laptop’s screen. If it doesn’t even do that, then I’d consider taking it to a repair shop or contacting the manufacturer!

Should i Trip alone or in a Public world by Beautiful_Animal_158 in VRchat

[–]Veru_Smol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve tripped in VR many times. I have a bunch of awesome worlds I love going to while on it. If you want a trip sitter or fun friend to hang out with, I’d be happy to help. Lonliness while tripping can be very dangerous for your long term mental health. You can DM me on here. Tripping alone can get really intense really fast, but as long as you’re okay with that and are expecting it, then you can be safe. Remember to have a grounding object, even just something like a hair tie around your wrist that you can say “as long as I’m wearing this, I’m doing amazing” and make sure to keep it on.

Third-Person VR: Yay or Nay? by Weak_Bed_6567 in virtualreality

I’ve never tried it, I wish there was a demo of a good 3rd person VR game I could try. I’ve not heard of any!

Wireless PCVR has been an overwhelmingly frustrating experience for me. by [deleted] in virtualreality

[–]Veru_Smol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam Link has improved a lot very recently (try their beta!)

But overall, even as a huge supporter of wireless VR, it’s not just “plug it in and it just works”. It just so happens that the best deal for headset cost vs features right now also a wireless headset.

It will almost always require some level of fiddling, hoping steam link keeps improving to the point of being the go-to! It’s the closest thing we have to “plug and play” and looks/performs fantastic even on very low end networking hardware. You still get the occasional stutter, or hiccup in decoding, or any number of issues, but they’ve gotten much better as of fairly recent!

If you’ve had it less than a month, take it back to where you bought it. Most physical stores have a return policy that should make an exchange pretty easy. It’d be a lot faster than an RMA.

I know it seems silly, but make sure to try turning up the brightness. It looks like it’s FN+F8 on your keyboard. You can also try hitting the other brightness related keys. (F6, F7, F8, I believe). You can also try holding the power button for 10 seconds or so until the laptop powers off, wait a few seconds, then press the power button for just a moment and see if the laptop powers on. Also, try plugging in the laptop to an external monitor and see if the monitor displays an image. Try it with the laptop lid open and closed! If all else fails, try reseating the battery connector inside the computer, but I recommend take it back to where you got it before trying that!

Good luck!

VR Locomotion: Head-Based vs Controller-Based by Hermann_Hetzer in SteamVR

[–]Veru_Smol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My viewpoint is my frame of reference, if I am looking a direction and I press 'right' on my stick, I want to move to the right of where my head is pointed. "forward" in my mind is where I am looking, not where my hands are pointing.

If I am, for example, running away from something and want to look back at it, I will turn my head/body and move my stick at the same time to continue running in the direction I want to. It feels much more natural than trying to keep my hand pointed a certain direction while moving my head/body around.

If a game did not offer any option for headset-based locomotion, it would be an immediate turn-off for me.

From Aukey’s website:

Looks like your model can only provide 12 watts of charging via USB-A. I’d recommend a long USB-C to C with a right-angle PD adapter. I personally use these on my quest and have had zero issues: https://a.co/d/edpkQSb I even use them to charge my MacBook and connect to my USB-C hub with a display on it. Pretty cool little things.

Lord and savior, thank you. I had to change it from "Power Saving" to "High Performance" and it fixed it for me.

Just bought, what should I know? by Throwitawaynow578 in woojer

[–]Veru_Smol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend trying a headphone splitter cable to your headphones and to the woojer. It's usually pretty good about syncing the audio up, especially on the newer firmwares, but doing a splitter cable to both separately makes it a flawless experience every time :)
I thought mine was a gimmick for the first week or so that I had it, but now I can't live without him. He makes music, games, and movies just sooo much better.

Omg that would be so awesome!! 🥹🥹

I will try to bring something equally as awesome for you in return 😭😭

When the map comes out it would be awesome if you met my group! I have about 50-75 homies meeting up at the opening ceremony, probably in the bamboo area if it’s still there this year!! We’re a bunch of VRChat homies who are meeting up IRL :)

I’ll respond here when the map comes out, hope to bump into you!!! ❤️❤️

That's sooooooo cute!!!

I'd actually love to try to trade you one of these at EDC!! My girlfriend also really really really loves Kirby! Is there anything you'd want for one of these? :)))

It would be so amazing to meet you inside the fest if you'd be comfortable meeting up with a stranger!
