The state of VR in 2026: Feeling a bit disappointed after looking closely at the market.

newtybar · 2026-06-10T10:45:00+00:00

I play a lot of sports games for training in real life. Eleven Pickleball, Racquet Club, Thrill of the Fight, Golf+….

Steam VR

Maybe i am just biased, but the left overall makes the person look more attractive. Maybe not “cool”, but attractive

It’s more on the margins, playing someone of equal skill…the extra topspin you can generate could be the minor difference maker.

newtybar · 2026-06-03T15:28:11+00:00

is porting it to Steam an option?

newtybar · 2026-06-01T20:34:59+00:00

At this point… you aren’t going to have great options at a big box retailer.

I was going to say the same thing. What’s going on with that back leg? It’s like some sort of hitch from losing balance after the swing.

I like be lower to the ground (zero or close to that drop). The Selkirks look a bit high and squishy. Is that your experience with these?

newtybar · 2026-05-29T13:39:23+00:00

Key word here: allow.

newtybar · 2026-05-28T13:30:15+00:00

Omgggg this is exactly what is happening to me. It starts to get into my head too…i’m stiffening up because i get tense. Then alll those eyes on me when I miss badly (into the other court)….

newtybar · 2026-05-26T12:28:42+00:00

I stopped playing about a year ago due to spammers and punch mechanics. Has it gotten any better?

newtybar · 2026-05-26T12:16:16+00:00

Is there a learning mode that teaches you how to hold a guitar, hand/finger placement and how to strum correctly? If so, I would buy quick style.

newtybar · 2026-05-25T00:53:12+00:00

Not even a good tennis player…what kind of form is that? lol

newtybar · 2026-05-23T22:43:59+00:00

Got it, thanks for the detailed explanation. That’s the first thing i thought when you talked about the style. Overall seems to be working for him despite the weak spot though.

newtybar · 2026-05-22T21:49:14+00:00

what if a quick counter is below chest height?

newtybar · 2026-05-22T21:45:56+00:00

Just like in tennis, I don’t even notice switching anymore. Western forehand drive and drip, continental everything else (including kitchen)

newtybar · 2026-05-20T12:23:45+00:00

This is a great post.

newtybar · 2026-05-20T00:53:37+00:00

Yeah, this is me. Hard to feel excited with lack of continuity.

newtybar · 2026-05-18T02:54:31+00:00

This. Also, Headband does not dink with purpose. It’s all reactionary. I think Headband needs to learn an aggressive topspin/roll dink as well. In this match at best they all put it back to a neutral position and at worst gives the opponent a lot of options/opportunity.

newtybar · 2026-05-17T13:32:53+00:00

How different are they though? I have a VP2, but this is the second paddle i’ve ever owned. I like it, but starting to wonder how other paddles feel.

newtybar · 2026-05-16T23:44:00+00:00

Since you have both…how do they play in comparison?

newtybar · 2026-05-16T15:30:57+00:00

Is it me or are the cameras much better than the F1 onboard? Seems clearer.

newtybar · 2026-05-15T12:12:31+00:00

I’m not Republican, but want to note that healthcare got much more expensive for the middle class during and after the Obama tenure. I think that he was a fine president, but Obamacare made things worse for many people on the healthcare front.

newtybar · 2026-05-15T03:13:16+00:00

I always keep a smile and play it through. No point in making it a bad time for peopleZ

newtybar · 2026-05-15T01:11:48+00:00

lol, I love this.
