sometimes it's a call for help, sometimes it's a wail of distress, but my parents are deaf and i'm left to wilt on my bed

[pearatwar]

my knuckles are bleeding from my last mental breakdown

[pearatwar]

you are cooked, simmered, cut into pieces and served hot with a side of oven baked potatoes as the chef brings their fingers up to their lips and does an exaggerated lip smack

don't ask me though, i've only been in a failure relationship-ish?? (sic) for 2 months or so before going back to being single so..,.,,,.,.,.,..,;

chat he rejected me and now sends me couple reels. am i cooked

I'm not posting enough, let alone blogging enough! Here's to you with a review of the Quest 2 from my 3 hours or so of gameplay, idk.

My friends gifted me the VR headset formerly known as Oculus Quest 2, formally as Meta Quest 2, and even though I have an utterly incapable laptop the fact it can work on its own makes it a cool experience.

The setup was a cool experience in and of itself, even - I was blasted away by the graphics, having never experienced VR, and after a while I got it up and running.

Using it is cool, and it even allows me to use glasses. I hear you say: "But why do you need glasses? Isn't the screen up in your face? Literally?". And to that I say... well probably there's some lens magic refraction tech magic going on to allow for depth perception as God [i'm not religious shut up] intended, so glasses are a given.

You can use your controllers to point and use triggers, sure, and you can use hand tracking to break your fingers instead of your controller when you inevitably punch your closet (more on that later), but did you know there is a secret third way to do things? When you're using controllers, the Quest is so kind that it shows you your hands' outline around the controller: you can use the FINGERS OF THE OUTLINE to press on the UI. THE DIGITAL HAND!! That's cool.

About punching closets, there's some countermeasures! Three of them and then some. Boundaries come in two flavors: Stationary and Roomscale. The former is just a circle for when you sit down or stand still, but really, you might as well go the pro gamer way by defining a room-scale (eh? get it?) boundary so that it may fit your room's shape better. The third way is Passthrough. The 144p, 15 fps, black and white cameras kick in, and suddenly virtual reality is just a bank security camera. You can use it for a cool menu, mixed-reality games, or have it turn on when you go out of the boundaries you set so you see where the hell you're going.

The game selection appears to be quite cool, honestly. Job Simulator, Car Mechanic Simulator, Simulator Simulator, Super Simulacrum Simulator Returns XXAC+R The Definitive Trilogy Nintendo Switch, it's all here! I didn't pour any money into the Quest as of yet, mainly due to my mother being all pissy at the sight of me spending anything on virtual commodities, but I guess I've played Gorilla Tag...?

Gorilla Tag is just as shown on social media: native English-speaking pre-teens will yell at you their know-it-all monkey jargon about how to walljump, juke, korean backdash and solve antiderivatives. It's like you were playing Getting Over It with your arms, and it's most serviceable as a glorified VRChat with a hint of bananas and tea. 8/10 would pay, like, 5 bucks? It's free anyways.

I've also played some Roblox games experiences with VR-Exclusive features. Crazy Stairs among them is a game where usually you'd climb up a set of platforms interconnected by platforms using powers to aid you or fuck over other people... on VR you scratch the climbing aspect and just mess around. Fun, really! VR Hangouts also exist: non-VR players run around in this comically massive map, and VR players are this comically massive floating head with comically massive floating hands that they can use to fling non-VR players around to kingdom come, slap them into the atmosphere, or just play with the comically massive props. Also fun, also free, would not pay five bucks but definitely refreshing.

What about Steam games? You can play them, if you have a PC able to handle them. I can't, so I'm stuck with the Oculus' Meta Store: the one-stop shop for hardcore golf players and the maniacs that want WhatsApp on their headset.

It performs well, despite having a phone's GPU. All games in the Meta Store were carefully optimized for standalone gaming, and Steam games run on your PC, so you're strapped in for an adventure of whimsy and motion sickness!

Talking about motion sickness, I had none. Maybe after laying down while playing GT I got weirded out a bit - your PoV does not move vertically with your headset, so finding myself kneeling but still standing at the same time was slightly disorienting?

Another nitpick is that the charger is, hear me out, USB-C TO USB-C. You pretty much have to use its own charger, but that's okay really.

Overall: make sure to have enough room to fling your arms about and try to stop your mother from taking silly pictures of you with the headset on.

head empty, heart heavy, sore throat, absolutely devastated and killed with sheer kindness

sitting next to my ex for the first time in months and im feeling more vexed than ever

on one hand i'd like to tell him i've pretty much gotten over him, on the other hand the intoxicating smell reminds me of the fleeting moments we shared, all while i sneer and lean away

about to have my c1 oral exam. unadulterated fear courses through my veins, shivers down my spine as earthquakes ravaging the soil. that might just be me though idk

[pearatwar]

mobile data is refusing to work altogether with its staggering 0.6 KB/s (except for chats, which manage to send 20-character messages given enough weeks) but what makes my shit hit the bricks is that SPOTIFY of all things works just fine it's even giving me the "no internet connection" popup but. it works. how.

it's not even loading the tags. or my profile picture. jeez.

[pearatwar]

random person messaged me on discord claiming they got the username wrong

my brother in christ how could you interpret anything as warpear??? nevertheless it made my day seeing this poor stranger unluckily bump into me

[pearatwar]

i can't recognize myself but i look fine?? idk man it went well i guess but i have to let the cut marinate

my mother pretty much forced me into having my hair cut later on today. shitting bricks out of anguish

what's worse is that it's not even a barbershop, it's a FUCKING hairdresser's. for WOMEN AND CHILDREN. self-esteem levels: approaching 0

it will probably go in one of these ways

i look fine

i look like a lesbian shoutout to my one lesbian mutual. ur cool i think but we interact once per fiscal period

i can't recognize myself and i want to slam my head against the wall

will keep you guys updated. until then hold on to you cheratin tendrils
