Adventures in VR

So I very briefly owned a Meta Quest 2 & damn F- would not recommend. Who designed that thing? It was actually painful to wear to the point where I'd start getting a headache about 10 minutes after putting it on, & yes the straps are adjustable, but it does need to be held against the face, so if I loosen the straps so it's not pressing against my forehead then it just slips down my face & I can't see shit

'Well how else can a VR headset stay in position?' you may ask. Like idk Sony managed it. Twice

Yeah I traded that shit in after only a day of owning it & got myself a PSVR2. Solid, well-designed piece of kit that

And my opinion of the MQ2 actually went down even further, because when I tried playing Beat Saber on the MQ, & was struggling to clear levels on normal difficulty that I'd aced on expert back when I played it on PSVR. 'Damn,' I thought. 'I'm really out of practice!'. Except no! Because I breezed through a level on expert first time. (And, no, playing on MQ2 didn't count as practice, as I could barely get any play time in before the headset got painful, & also I found I could play songs I either haven't touched since I played them on PSVR 4 years ago, or have never played at all because they're newer.) I'd noticed my heads starting to cramp a little, but put that down to me being used to the move controllers. But I had no issues with the PSVR2 sense controllers. They fit perfectly in my hands

So yeah. Bad design all round

Only issue I have with the PSVR2 is the earbuds not staying in my ears but that's cos my ears are weird & reject earbuds, & I prefer over-ear headphones anyway. I used my PS4 gold headphones on the PSVR, & they'll probably still work here. Gonna have to investigate options

BTW if you're waiting for a fic update from me then sucks to be you I guess? Was really intending to get some writing done this week, but... oops?
