I mean, yeah somewhat, I’m just pointing out the idiocy of asking that question in a place specifically designed to talk about those places.

Also, regardless of how bad the sites as a whole are, making the transition fully is just plain too difficult, there are communities that haven’t moved and no matter if you are putting effort to have them here, you won’t be able to get a question about a program answered if there are 3 active people on a community

Why not?

(Also look at the community you are replying in… What use is there on quesrioning why people use reddit on the c/reddit, it’s like when people say “why are you using 4chan” on r/4chan lol)

A.K.A “the Jordan Peterson experience”

Just one thing to add, people freaking out is extremely uncommon. I haven’t even heard about a case IRL, even for trans people it isn’t something that tends to happen.

Don’t be afraid to just guess when you are unsure, you can always ask though and at least for younger generations it isn’t seen as weird or unpolite to do so

I think I said that lol

I do remember it being more common back when I was in high school, and also there was a movie which mentioned that which could have helped with that

I also havent heard it being said seriously for years though

For me its the one that promoted me to write this, the futurama quote “you’re are technically correct, the best kind of correct”

I hate how people use it over at forums, it is repeated ad nauseam, even if it doesn’t make much sense. It’s probably from people using it constantly that I hate the quote, and not something that has to do with the meaning.

I must say, in retrospect it kind of seems obvious, but this has somehow blown my mind

It really isn’t, at least in the way the term is used. For example, would you describe the feeling you get after snorting cocaine as a “health benefit” just because you feel better momentarily???

Most probably, but there is always the possibility of people either being underage, stupid or unaware due to upbringing (imagine being told your whole life something is in a particular way, it isnt unreasonable not to doubt that) and I prefer to engage honestly with people even if I look like an idiot, just in case.

Of course when clear bad faith is shown I will just not engage, or call it out, but in

“so I can still get the health benefits from it”

Seriously, you aren’t getting healt benefits. You might feel better but that is the nicotine, it’s a psychological effect not something that is improving your physical health in any discernable way.

Just understand, people don’t smoke because it’s good for their bodies, people smoke because it feels good, it’s an important distinction.

I forgot to add Roborecall!!??

This might feel like a “demo game” to some people, also it’s from 2016~ which is an era that didn’t produce that many diverse and interesting vr titles, but this one feels really good.

It’s an arcade shooter where robots have gone crazy and you have to kill them, the action and combat is fast, you can grab and dismantle robots in melee. One thing though is that like many of the games of that era, this game is teleportation movement based (like half life alyx when you play on the default mode) which is a bit annoying, at least for me.

You can always connect your quest to pc right? (Hope OP has a good computer to do that, haven’t checked the quest 2 but I remember how much worse roborecall looked on quest 1)

Yes, this so much! VR minigolf is amazing, you barely need any space to play. The skill ceiling is jogh and the multiplayer is really enjoyable (you only see floating hands and it plays like normal minigolf)

The maps are colorful, the themes really interesting and also they look really special, like you are on an incredible theme parl of sorts, the inmersiveness of this game and gameplay are unmatched.

Haven’t tried bonelabs myself but I heard the campaign was lacking so I just recommended boneworks instead since to me at least back when it released it felt like the most complete vr game.

Haven’t tried the vr chat alternatives, I don’t know if it is because I mostly visit Spanish talking communities but my experience has not really degraded. Admittedly I’m not a hardcore user who spends a lot of hours there, but I have fun whenever I hop in. I will try them zometime but since they are smaller they will probably have limited communities in my language, and speaking in english is a bit uncomfortable for me at least.

I had no clue DRG had a vr mod??? Literally my first time hearing about it… Lol

Lastly, I can vouch for the minecraft mod, if you set up a server correctly you can even play with friends that have it on desktop together, there are also movement commands that were fun instead of ussing the buttons on controllers.

You are a mod right? (Can’t check because I’m on phone right now but I kind of remember seeing you before)

If so, I’m sorry, I’m really not blaming you or telling you guys to do a better work, at least not directly, I used to browse askreddit by new sometimes and support questions didn’t appear that frequently so in principle I brlive this is a problem of “culture” and people being lazy not reading the rules…

I play a lot of vr, although some of the games may feel like “proof of concept” as in they are very limited, unlike Half life Alyx, Boneworks or Walking dead saints and sinners that look a lot more like proper fully fledged works. This post could be a little lengthy, some are full pc games translated really well into vr and some are original.

My favorite game is beat saber, it is a simple rithym game were you slash blocks with lightsabers, thing is, once you download mods and start engaging withe leaderboards, the game changes completely. The skill ceiling is insane and since the gae is physical you feel awesome moving around. (Just don’t play around someone it may be extremely cringe)

Then any of the racing simulators are a great fit, project cars 2, assetto corsa with mods (the original) is really good to this day, dirt rally 2 is insane, you actually feel a sense of speed and at least for dirt rally I feel I drive better (maybe a bit slower lol).

Phasmophobia, it’s kind of a puzzle game where you try to discover which kind of ghost is haunting a place, try to get some friends to play even if they don’t have a vr since most people play on desktop, it’s up to 4 people coop and really fun, you are not a ghost hunter, more like a ghost detective.

If you are into space exploration, elite dangerous is probably the most beautiful. No man sky is a ñot more game like but much more fun IMO.

Blade and sorcery, this is a physics based sword game with a huge variety and mods. The game is still in early access (At least from ehat I remember), but it has progressed a lot and is in active development, despite that it could perfectly be considered a finished product.

Tetris Effect, it’s the same game but VR makes the environments even more beautiful (if you smoke weed seriously try this out, sorry to be that guy but it completely changes this experience, if not the game is still great)

Into the radious, this is probably the most inmersive survival vr game out there, it’s stalker but vr. Some of the things that make it great is for example that you have a compass and map and you have to track your position phisically, you have a backpack but there are no slots, you just put things there and they remain wherever you left them and when you need them in a hurry you will have such a mess over there it will be really difficult to take what you need. Combat is intense and exploration is suspenseful.

Lastly, please don’t underestimate vr chat, it is that popular for a reason although it’s not really a “game”.

There are a few more games but they are either proof of concept, too early on early access or just plain poets of good pc games but that aren’t especial on vr.

This is not a support community, seriously why is there so much confusion arpund that does no one read the rules???

Even if they didn’t, AskReddit is one of the biggest subs how come people don’t know how this is supposed to work?

Tetris effect is insanely good for the music alone, and with ve the whole thing was an experience

Since you didn’t specify a genre I will just recommend, from my most played games which have no explicit story (as in, there probably is some lore or story but you don’t see it unless you watch for it like in Dark Souls), try to see if there is anything you are interested in.

Risk of rain 2, 3d tps roguelike where you stack items until the game breaks, the game gets more difficult each minute you spend on a stage.

Factorio and satisfactory, both are part of the factory building genre, the first one is 2d and the second 3d. I recommend starting with factorio, seriously these are pure crack despite jow unappealing the genre seems at first.

Slay the spire, a deck building roguelike.

Dirt rally 2, it is a single player game but there are leaderboard just in case ypu consider that “multiplayer”.

Crypt of the necrodanncer, rythm roguelike where you move and attack on each beat

Descenders, bike game where you usually go downhill fast.
