The sleek device, which initially went on sale for an eye-watering $1,500, has really struggled to catch on since then, just as we predicted at the time. And, as Mixed Reality News reports, Meta is […]

    We’re broke as fuck, we can not afford that shit. Money is better spent elsewhere than a VR “workstation”.

      I’d use VR for work if I could afford it. But not from the take all you personal dada and sell it company.

          You could likely capture card your monitors and pipe them into a secondary PC, to then pipe into your headset. Assuming your limitation is a work PC unable to run VR for one reason or another.

      I don’t really regret it, because it was a truly awesome experience while it was fresh, and I probably sunk hundreds of hours into it over the pandemic. But yeah, it does get old surprisingly quickly, and there are literally no new games for it that aren’t arcade-style trash from the past few years.

      Sadly, I think HL:A was the peak of VR gaming, and it’s all been downhill from there.

      Maybe when standalones get powerful enough that they can run “real” games, it’ll kickoff again, but I don’t think I’ve put on my headset in months at this point, and there’s nothing on the horizon that’s likely to make me grab it again any time soon
