Does anyone have a headset? What do you think about it in the context of your mental health?

    Yeah it’s great for that. If you know anyone else who has one then team play is really fun. If not, then solo play is still a hoot. Plus there are experiences where you can stand at famous spots around the world and look around. It’s very neat and enriching.

      I like that! When I had a Go I found finding experiences difficult, side loading was time consuming and hit or miss quality and streaming (youtube) was riddled with ads. I could see making this work better for me by upgrading my network firewall with a pi-hole and installing jellyfin somewhere and building a VR library.

        The HTC and Quest haven’t had any ads that I’ve seen yet, beyond suggestions for games. I haven’t touched my VR since we moved about a year ago though, so it might have ads now.

            Oh, I never used YouTube with my VR. I did check out the iPic experience with Amazon movies and that was pretty neat. Also prime has some VR experiences like floating in the ocean with a great white shark swimming around you. But I never looked at YouTube. I don’t use YouTube unless I’m trying to learn something, like how to replace the grill on my truck sort of stuff.

    I went ahead today after a lot of deliberation and bought one. Big upgrade from the Go but also familiar in a lot of ways (not comfortable, hot, sort of nauseating). I’m happy. I cleaned the kitchen for the first time in a week. It took me out of my head for a few hours and that’s what I wanted.
