Virtual Reality Thread - Goodbye, Real World.
Barely touched my Vive this year after the finace restricted my space in the living room, but I got my space back now so Iāll be booting it up this week, get it ready for a party Iām hosting this weekend.
Rick and Morty VR came out this year, excited to try that.
EDIT: SUPERHOT VR got released for Oculus & Vive! Definitely picking that one up
Yoooooo nice. I know a lot of people been waiting for that. Wondering how itāll be received when it comes to the west.
It is? Iāve been contemplating getting it ever since it was linked to me a few days ago. Iāve only just interrogated why Iām interested today. Iāve been trying the beta japanese course for Duolingo for the past week and I was thinking interacting with a fake teenage girl would ironically be less embarassing than using something like Rosetta Stone.
Heh, yeah I can see that being pretty cool! Are you learning to speak it, or read/write as well?
Seeing as I just booked a trip to Japan over the weekend for next spring, I want to learn some japanese myself. I went to that duolingo site just now, why donāt I see Japanese as an option?
Itās available on mobile.
Iā¦know some Japanese. I donāt know how many words total but I know I have a decent memory. Iāve been chewing through the lessons even though Iāve never studied once in my life. Half of me is just pursuing this because I want to find out what my current limit is, and the other half wants to know if I can keep going. I think if I seriously want to learn the language, Iām going to have to learn to read and write. I kinda know Iām going about it in the wrong direction, but Iām going in the direction that would keep be most interested and motivated because I know me.
I boot up my vive once in a while. Not all that often though, to be honest.
Still follow the news
People keep telling me VR is just getting started, but I refuse to believe the tech will disrupt society in a huge way as smartphones and tablets have. Perhaps decades from now when itās advanced enough to where it exceeds our expectations, but specifically for gaming, all that has been made are tech demo quality games.
Iām really looking forward to trying these standalone headsets, but not too interested in picking them up for myself. Looking forward to gen2 of the consumer Vive, but will probably wait for it to come down in price anyways. Iām still rocking my Vive regularly, and loving it.
