VR

Today I got my Oculus Quest out of the Locker, well, from above the locker, again. I recently got emails from Facebook that they are turning down more and more services for it, so I thought it might be time to update it again.
I think it has been more than a year since I had it in my hands, and obviously, there are a shitload of updates to do on it.
I don’t have any definite plans on what to do with it. It seems like it is still working fine. Maybe I should finally try out gaming with it again. Since Christmas last year I’ve got a beefy PC from my brother which would be able to run games on it and with my Wi-Fi setup inside my apartment I should be able to play without the USB cable plugged in.

I’ve tried a few things now and although Steam VR and the Oculus Link stuff work, many of the games don’t work anymore. They don’t even start. Probably because Facebook disabled to many services.
It’s funny, I end up using my six-year old Go more than the Quest. My rooms are too tiny and I need to move furniture to make enough space for the Quest.
@Winkletter I don’t have much space either, but having the PC Power now, I want to try out Microsoft Flight Sim and probably American / European Truck Sim. My brother got an outstanding racing rig at home, and solely “drives” in VR.
@phaidenbauer The part of me that thinks driving sims are weird just remembered I’m reading a book about someone driving an RV around a fantasy world.
@Winkletter Well, it’s a niche for sure.
I wonder if it would be too laggy for us to play Eleven Table Tennis…
