  • I don’t blame you. I’m even tempted to get a Quest-something unit secondhand or something, if only because I’m pretty sure they’ve cracked it a bit better on the Linux side.

    They’re making some progress on WMR’s controllers right now but they’re the most troublesome. Hand tracking works now! But a lot of games expect button input.

    Seriously, we just need a good code leak or something so that hobbyist VR peripherals become more commonplace. Right now everything is focused on establishing lock-in to walled gardens instead of interoperability.

    VR hardware should be just like getting a monitor / keyboard / mouse / flight stick / whatever, but they want to make it closer to a smart TV / phone so they can push you to throw it out and buy a new one every 6 months.





  • Because I mainly game in VR and that’s still so far behind on LInux :(

    This is a major sticking point for me too. I’ve got a dusty Win10 partition I haven’t booted in ages, and I was keeping it around mainly for VR, but then Microsoft had to go and just extinguish that too.

    Monado is making impressive progress but it’s a huge pain because they have to reverse engineer stuff with zero help from the manufacturers, instead of simply interfacing with the hardware.

    I refuse to let Meta have any of my money though. I hope a good affordable VR kit comes out that isn’t another hyper-proprietary blackbox.





  • As far as I know those are all this asshole’s ideas too. He’s got some hedge fund called Lembas or something too, among others.

    I’m surprised he hasn’t just renamed himself Sauron at this point. (While talking ahout saving the world through his wealth and power, of course.)

    Typical villain arc: Some self-absorbed billionaire with a main character complex decides they like a cultural touchstone, completely misses the point ot it, and ruins it for everyone else for their own profit.
