VR: Virtual Reality
When meatspace is too much, head for Virtual Reality. I spend quite a bit of time romping around the worlds of VRChat. But, I can also be found playing the occasional VR title. I've loved VR ever since I first put on the Oculus DK2. My current preferred HMD is the Quest 3, but I use it with PC SteamVR using SteamLink to wirelessly connect to my main gaming rig Moonshine. If you hop into VRChat, come and check out my world Lax Dragon Den.
