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.
