As for VR relevant content, I'm really into Synth Riders lately. Can anyone recommend some good custom songs that aren't super hard? Seems most of the ones I download only have expert/master.
"Friend like me Electro Swing remix" is my jam, not too long and a fun dance.

where did that other dog come from

who is he


I'm a Synth Riders newbie as well and the custom songs I've had fun dancing to on normal / hard are:

Miike Snow - Genghis Khan
Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart
Gorillaz - Dare
Bee Gees - Stayin Alive
Daõi Freyr - Think About Things
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now

A lot of that's informed by my own tastes though so ymmv. I've also found that higher difficulties aren't as impenetrable as they are on Beat Saber - both Toxic and Juice were fun to flail around to on no fail mode and I'm sure there's others

Sorry just wanted to note as a respiratory guy that you should take steps to not breathe in ozone if possible. I'm sure you aren't sitting in your car while you run it or something but in case you aren't already, you'll want to make sure you ventilate the garage more than you'd think you should before you go into that space if it's got a lot of O3 around.

I appreciate the concern but while I'm dumb as hell, I'm not a dumb rear end. My cars are outside of any building, shut tight, with a timer. I let the car sit with the ozone inside overnight. Next day I open all the doors and vent anything left to atmosphere, then I sniff and see. Repeat as needed.

But yeah to anyone else looking to ozone a stinky thing: don't breathe ozone. The reason it works so well is the same reason why it will gently caress up your own organic breathing parts.

I've seen people swear by it for cars, but I've also seen ozone cause plastics to crumble into dust, so I'm hesitant to trust it.

They are doing it for far, far too long. Any car I do it in is at least 25 years old, almost always older, and I've never had any issue with the ancient plastics inside them.

There isn't anything better for fabrics or foam that I've found.

Well, after about 72 hours under a fan, an overnight stay with a bowl of vinegar, a wipedown with vinegar and a spritzing of febreze, the VapeRift is smelling pretty decent.

It mostly smells like febreze now, which should disappear in a couple days.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

If you're wanting a really well done escape room experience, take a look at this completely free offering in VRchat https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_1c5f5bc7-c4d8-4dbb-a09e-83d5b9aaebfb which is goddamn anazing quality considering the limitations of the platform.

Thanks! I'm not necessarily looking for an escape room experience but just the way that you interact with stuff in that game is insanely satisfying and the storytelling was fantastic. I've found so far in the week or two that I've had VR that the games are either shock value action games, simulation games of varying fidelity, rhythm games, or I guess these type of puzzle/adventure games. I'm really interested in any RPG games that might exist in the space (VR specific ones, not skyrim VR etc).

I'm at work now but I'll check that out. I don't really know what VRchat is at this point.

I need to go back to finish it but I agree that the room VR really is one of the better VR games I've played so far. It's a simple game but they perfected that tactile feel of messin around with stuff even on the phone versions, so considering flipping switches and picking up stuff is one of the more natural things to do in VR it just works. My one big complaint is a general Room complaint and that's that I don't love the supernatural see through the eyepiece puzzles which this game has a lot of.

Hm yeah I do have revive, you need to have the oculus software/account as well then to play the oculus exclusive titles? IE running in the background minimized? I did install it then got super turned off by the FB integration as I don't use FB at all. I'll check out vader immortal. Ty.

Yeah you need to login into it, though it adds the oculus games to your steam library and it runs the store automatically from Steam if you try to play them, so no need to keep it running constantly.

Just treat it like the ubisoft store or whatever.

There's no real facebook integration from within the games that I can tell.

e: It only adds the game to the VR library not the desktop steam one, since it's done via a plugin.

In other words you can either run the games by running SteamVR first and then choosing them from VR, or by running the revive menu and launching them from desktop.

YMMV, but it worked fine without remapping with my WMR controllers.

My list of must play VR titles goes something like this:

- Asgards Wrath
- Vader Immortal
- HL Alyx
- Blade & Sorcery
- No Mans Sky (no need to buy a special VR version)
- Jet Island
- Google Earth VR
- Skyrim VR
- Superhot VR [e]
- The Lab [e]

As for escape room games in particular both "I expect you to die" and "Job Simulator" are pretty decent.

e: Apologies for editing again, but superhot vr and the lab definitely deserve a spot in the list too.

I bought the "Form" for like 4€ or something low like that and was a 40 minutes interesting experience.

I would also add on to this The Room VR, Vacation Simulator, and Abode/Abode 2 are both nice escape room games.

For my own list, what are some other good escape room style games? I've done IEYTD, The Room VR, and have heard middling accounts of Rogue Escape. I don't want any horror games so I've actually passed up Red Matter, but if anybody can confirm there's no jump scares I might give it a try.

One of my big takeaways from some developer commentary was that shock scares & jump scares are WAYYYYY too easy to do in VR. Easy as in "the player really is handicapped in many ways, and it's super easy to take advantage of that in an unfair way."

Closest to the room is probably "I expect you to die", it has a campy 60's spy film feel, and you have to solve puzzles and complete each scenario, learning from your deaths. It also has a sequel coming out soon, unless its already out and i missed it.

Its not like the room really with as much to fiddle about with, but "Obduction" has full VR support including for motion controls. Its from the creators of Myst and has a similar vibe to things, and is quite a good puzzle game, though I know some people have had performance issues as it wasn't something initially designed around VR. Wonderful atmosphere to it.

The Talos principle is another that has a full VR version available and is often on sale you could keep an eye out for.

Something with some basic puzzle solving but lots of interactions that you might want to check out as well is "Lone Echo". At this point more people know the multiplayer mode as its free, but the original game is still maybe my favorite VR game due to the world it puts you in, the story, and just how much they nailed the control and movement. It doesn't hurt either that even 4 years on from its release, probably the only VR game with better graphics is HL Alyx.

Its hard not to overstate how much they knocked out of the park for a 2017 VR release.


Also, if you can catch it on a big sale, "wilson's heart" is still pretty enjoyable. Its 100% focused on close in hand interactions with stuff, though unlike Lone Echo it shows its age as a 2017 VR game with its mechanics, like no free movement. Its also really easy, but as a ~5 hour interactive film experience, its a pretty fun romp through a classic 50's horror movie world. Also your character is voiced by Robocop, so its got that going for it.

Still, as far as that one, despite really enjoying it at the time, I wouldn't pick it up in 2021 unless its on sale.

I'm running project wingman on 1920x1080p on 150% rendering quality or whatever and it is still somewhat blurry and dim. The dimness is probably a gamma issue.

I've decided to get rid of my Pimax and go back to my Index because of the weird focal length and the comfort factor. It kinda sucks, since it really does make things look way better to have the FOV and the crazy resolution, but it's annoying to adjust and get it right, and the focal length makes you feel like you're looking at a screen close to your face. The Index, in spite of the FOV, just feels vastly more immersive. Oh well.

I got through the tutorial which took me awhile since some things weren’t explained very well (at least for my dumb brain). Then I stumbled through making a server and got to the town and saw a bunch more checklists of stuff to do that I wasn’t sure about how to do and called it a night. It’s not bad, but it still feels very early access to me.

I hear there’s a bunch of Youtube tutorial out there and I’ll probably get back to it when I get around to looking at some of those. Or join a public server and learn from people.

Yeah, that game is mainly learn from others. I guess that makes sense, since it is a multi-player game. The crafting pages were confusing until someone helped me out. We should probably have a goon learning day on one of the servers.
