i still find it funny i run my vr setup on a decade old pc and a £50 secondhand headset and it works great, considering zhe reputation vr has for being inaccessibly expensive

i would still be running it on my laptop if its video output wasnt intermittent lol

zhis is mainly true for vrchat and zhe few games i have zhough, resonite is still completely allergic to every single part of my hardware lmao

@mynotaurus ohno

i was wonderin what was up wizh zhat. u mentioned havin controller issues wizh it, too?

@qualia it was stupidly cpu intensive so it ran at single digit fps in most worlds, it lagged a lot due to slow hard drives i zhink, zhe whole UI felt pretty bad for reading at a low resolution and my controllers have too much jitter to use any of zhe menus lol

@qualia also zhe ability for anyone to load objects whenever you want crashed my game a load of times? which might be zhe drives again and caching? idk

@qualia i havent tested it recently cause resonite also hates my avatar so i struggle to get any motivation to boot it up cause im wrong shape :(

@mynotaurus oh oof. yeah zhe performance stuff is still very real. stutters and crashies seem to be a fact of life in a way (zhough i just yanked out a stick of ram wizh a single fucked up bit zhat may have been making mine way worse, will see if zhat improves my uptimes. suddenly i am saving a lot faster, so ??)

i hope more performance and accessibility improvements continue to land on it in short order so zhat its more accessible to folks totally not for quasi-selfish reasons

zhe avatar setup sitch i'm real curious about, if our timezones ever line up rightways i would be curious to examine ur rigging if you'd be down to give it a shot. but wrong-shape dysphoria is hittin ppl real hard now in zhe midst of an aggressive locomotion rework zhat's got a lot of folks up in arms

it feels very much like an active construction zone at all times which is as exciting as it is frustrating :D

@mynotaurus but yeah like. vr definitely isn't incredibly inaccessible like it used to be somany years ago, but zhere's still a tinkerer's tradeoff in all zhat. bein willing to tolerate jank and weird fiddly stuff goes a real long way. being ruzhlessly committed to virtual actualization seems to also do a whole lot to make us (collectively) put up wizh chaos and jank

@qualia yeah lol a large part of it is probably tolerating zhe jank in our main setups a lot more zhan new stuff we are just starting to learn

@mynotaurus wish it would work well on my fairly new custom built pc and $500 headset

@vn is zhis zhe curse of vr on linux

@mynotaurus moment, reminds me of playing ITR on a gaming laptop with an original HTC Vive
