VR gaming was supposed to be the future.
What happened?
>>
Holy shit, stephen hawking is dead???
>>
>>746103316
Meta happened
>>
It is more expensive and requires more space than just a PC with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor since those are generally also needed, lastly it got jack shit of actual games that aren't just ports of regular games in varying quality or games that are just glorified tech demos.

Focusing on vr porn games would have unironically pushed the mediuma great deal. The fad wouldn't have dried out as quick as it did

>>746104369
This, I bought mine for porn but there's barely any for my niche fetish so it's mostly a paper weight. For games, I can never be assed to play it because having a headset on is just an uncomfortable hassle. VR glazers failed to grasp that the whole appeal of games is being comfortable while engaging in something and having a brick strapped to your face is more immersion breaking than enhancing.
>>
>>746104369
It really is shocking how few porn games there are out there considering VR was practically built for porn.

>>746103316
When I game I want to sit back in my chair and relax. I want my hands to minimally move around. I don't want to be standing up turning my head, flailing my arms around. The benefit of being immersed in some three dimensional space does not outweigh my comfort. That's where VR fails the most. Its too active for what is suppose to be a time of relaxed enjoyment. The other big failure is VR games are often too empty. All that hoopla over being in 3 dimensions and yet the entire thing is usually shallower than a puddle as far as content and gameplay

Yeah, it's fucking sad really.
I hated how FOW teased VR mode for Subverse and then were like "we never promised anything lol"/
Virtamate is still the best VR ""game"" but I fucking hate how it's just a soulless editor pretty much. You can swap skins but there's no character behind those skins.

By who? Even in Star Trek the average person doesn't have a holodeck because they use too much power. VR was always a meme to get you to buy some cheap plastic controllers and headset
>>

this
completely decimated the vr landscape
>>
Everyone knows VR will never be anything more than a porn machine and a gimmick that most people spend 10 minutes with before losing interest until deep dive VR exists. That's the only thing that could make it into a real competitor to regular video games. It would also be disastrous to civilization but civilization sucks pretty bad already so who cares.

It's a niche product really so I won't try to convince you to get it. It's something you really gotta be curious about and try yourself. I personally cannot go back to jacking off with my hand anymore. I can give some of the reasons for why I like it, but in no way is this an attempt at selling anything.

The Good:
>You can often find the Handy 1 on sale for $99, cheaper than hookers in my state
>You can use it hands-free for maximum pleasure
>PMVs and HMVs are 1,000,000,000 times better
>Less clean up than a Fleshlight
>Superior to Fleshlights when it comes to physical pleasure
The Bad:
>You'll need to have basic computer literacy skills to get the most out of it.
>Speaking of which, pretty complicated to get the setup you want
>They sell hands free setup separately
>Loud, not extremely so but someone walking by your room can hear it even with doors closed
>Occasionally will need to use gun lube to clean the gears inside, only takes about 5-10 minutes

My previous setup was StashApp on my PC which connected to the handy to let me watch 2D vids. Nowadays I download the 2D vids to my Quest 2 and run them off Heresphere. In either case, you need to name the file the exact same name. So an actual file in my Quest 2:
>Mage Kanade Futanari Dungeon Quest.mp4
>Mage Kanade Futanari Dungeon Quest.funscript
You can download those from EroScripts or FapTap.

Again, I don't want anyone going out and rushing to get it. It's a niche product for a niche audience. It's the greatest thing I've ever purchased but for other people it might just be a paperweight.

Then you just load scene you want and swap models to whever characters you downloaded. There's a learning curve to this "game" as it's basically a sandbox but once you get how it works it'll be a smooth expirience.

It’s the future for me. Every good first person game of the last 30 years has been getting good vr mods lately, several of them standalone on quest. As an old guy with old guy interests, playing the same shit I’ve played a million times in vr + niche stuff like microsoft flight simulator in vr will keep me going forever.

The vast majority of the population has no interest in strapping a stupid looking brick to their face to play a game.

I'm too old and there's too much on my ToDo list to add jerk off machine to the pile. I just upgraded my video card (was on rdna2) so I can decode 8k videos and I haven't even gone back and tried that yet.

Thank you for the writeup though.

At first I thought maybe you hold on to the grey part with your hand then it goes up and down, which seems dumb. But you mentioned hands-free so I guess it would go on an arm fixed to your desk or something.

Thank you much

>>746108936
You can hold them both ways but hands-free is definitely superior. And there's a manual mode so you don't need any computer literacy at all, but for me that just kind of defeats the purpose.
>>746109208
Using that logic you can also come to the conclusion that anyone who plays video games after 16 is basically a child or childish, which is an odd thread of logic coming from a /v/ board.
>>
>>746108753
For instance?
I haven't had issues on my end, though I've only been using it for about a year and I have a very specific setup.

Games are about guns/swords/cars/sports and are cool and manly.
Women and womenbrained individuals use toys to masturbate because female orgasm is a lie. Proper man is fine with his god given hands
>>
after some troubles I managed to get virtamate up and running
how do you swap out character models in scenes?
i dl'd a ton of custome characters but there doesn't seem to be a way to plug them into the custom scenes I dl'd
>>
>>746109208
fucking a fleshlight is WAY less gay than jacking your penis off with your hands
>>
>>746109697
>because female orgasm is a lie.
I'd feel bad for the women you had sex with if, you know, there were any.
>>
>>746109697
You can also look at it another way:
>Games are about guns/swords/cars/sports and appear cool and manly.
>However, because you're not a true man you need to rely on games to experience such things, whereas a real man would do these things IRL.

You also can't justify porn while demonizing toys as almost any argument you make against why men shouldn't use toys can easily be made against men who use porn--since "porn is womanbrained and male arousal is a lie, a proper man is fine with his own imagination."

Correct. They bought out nearly every VR dev, and then proceeded to do fuck all with them while wasting both years of time and millions of dollars on that fucking Horizon garbage that's now been completely shitcanned. They're back on a much better track now, but this dark age of vr content is entirely their fault.

Playing video games is manipulating little guys on a screen, it’s like playing with toys/action figures. VR does not feel like playing.

Not a NEET but live with parents. I just time my sessions to night time when they're asleep. It's not super loud but noticeable if someone is a few feet away from your room and they're paying attention. There is a Handy 2 but I believe noise dampening doesn't improve on it, plus it's like $300-400 bucks

You have to power through it. I used to get massive nausea just putting a headset on but after a while I had no problems doing barrel rolls in flights sims. Also in my experience higher resolution headsets help too.

>>746115352
for me it was figuring out the frame rates.

at 50-60 fps it's nausea incarnate.

Well yeah, that matters too but it's also game dependent. 30FPS in something live VaM where you just sit and look around is bad but acceptable whereas I can't imagine flying in IL2 at 30FPS.

Unironically the fault of Quest.

Since it runs stand alone it became a novelty gift for kids and normies. No good game can run in that thing, it's just a wiggling gimmick with PS2 graphics. Just like the internet or DVDs, shit is always driven by porn and wealthy hobbyists, if the thing switches from those to normie appeal it never has enough time to develop.

Even today any improvement from VR headsets comes from hardcore VRChat users, jack shit came from Meta Quest.

VR was sold out too quickly in it's life development like a child prostitute.
