Pyou literally cannot sell people something that goes on their head and weighs more than a kilo. and that's with warnings applied. they will injure themselves.
VI cba to go through all of the leaks but that was apparently a plan at one point. It might still be.
Pyeah i know it was
KThe ones I've seen were a headset with a backpack
Pit's just looney toons shit
Pthe backpack idea is probably the only one that works and that's kinda absurd
VI think that's another idea they're going after, having a "base station"
KWhich makes sense, you can throw the hardware and a battery in a backpack
VSo, welcome back steam machines
Pthe problem with this stuff is that it ends up limiting your VR sessions in other ways
VNeeding a backpack limits VR to those with backs
Pwireless makes a lot more sense than weighing your body down like that
Palso i would very much like to see a headset that doesn't have a single point of failure
Plike seriously if you're gonna make it so the cables die very predictably
Pyou better fucking sell them separately
火
VDeck durability has been better than Index
better in the fact it doesn't just... fall apart
better in the fact it doesn't just... fall apart
Pme when i had a xiaomi power bank zip tied to my quest 2
Pright but the deck doesn't have that stupid god damn cable
VThe Index had a lot more problems than just the cable, but that was a big one.
Palso you don't drop it at all instead of having the controllers explode the first time you drop them
Pbecause u wouldn't want to drop ur deck
Pvr controllers? that shit is destiny
VDidn't the Index also have glue troubles? Valve need a better adhesive company.
Pyes but it wasn't apparent until they tried exporting it i guess
ADid it smell like a deck
Pthe lens adhesive can be removed with your own sweat
CIn fairness, VR headsets are far more abused than handhelds, especially one that comes with a case
Pso if you sweat in an index and come back to it you might just have ugly glue all up the inside of the lens
Pmaking it unusable
火alot of adhesives stuff has been impacted by regulations that screw over the components that made them good
CPhones and VR headsets are probably the most abused pieces of tech
VAll VR headsets get hot, but from what I've heard two 144hz panels from 2019 are especially bad
CQuest 2 might as well be indestructible if you don't point the lenses directly towards the sun
Pyou sweat no matter what
II installed bazzite tonight, I didn’t install emudeck initially. I opened bazzite portal trying to install it but whenever I choose where to install emudeck I get an error telling me to restart the program.
Phaving shit strapped to your face like that
Pyour skin needs to breathe
CPretty amazing work from Facebook honestly
VYou can just grab it from the website if you're having trouble
Pmeta was actually pretty close to being on the money with the open design on the quest pro or whatever it was
Psince that's the only way to make it physically usable for more than about an hour lol
IDo I choose the SteamOS version?
VYeah, I did
VDisappointment of the quest pro was crazy
VIt was just nothing
Pyeah most people who already owned a quest knew it was a red herring
Pjust to keep people entertained before the actual next quest model came out
VThey're making a new one, apparently
Pthey basically had nothing to offer to average casual VR consumers with the pro
