I've said this plenty of times but this stigma of VR is a REALLY REALLY weird one, especially since I keep seeing it. There are so many arcades and whatnot you can try VR where it's just tethered in place. So many VR experiences are designed such that you can absolutely play them sitting down in a chair. The idea you need a "holodeck room" breaks down the second you look into it all.

Not only that, but the Quest can play VR games, and it's running a phone processor. You don't need top of the line hardware, just enough to run a normal video game, which I'm willing to bet if you're a pc gamer, you literally have more than enough.

I beat Alyx on a $250 headset and a laptop with an underclocked 1060. In my shitty 800 sq ft apartment's dining room. And it was still an absolutely phenomenal experience. Was it top of the line? No. But it was still plenty playable. These days my pc is in my bedroom and I just hook it up and play in the empty space in front of my bed. You absolutely CAN sink thousands of dollars and a dedicated space into it if you really want to. But it's hardly a requirement.

I refuse to give Facebook money and honestly if I didn't have a WMR headset, I wouldn't even have bothered.
