The demo for Alliance Tales: Battles for the Frontier wants to scratch that X-Wing/Wing Commander itch. Read our impressions here: www.uploadvr.com/alliance-tal...

I just filed an article to Upload analyzing the headset numbers on the latest Steam hardware survey and why we all need to ignore it this month. Short answer: Chinese New Year. Nothing to see here. Stop writing your latest “(PC)VR is dead” article. Check back next month. 😊

Pico is offering $ to experienced VR users to sign an NDA and report bugs in their upcoming headset. open.substack.com/pub/goodvr/p...

This meme I made a while ago seems apropos tonight:

Graphics depicting Meta's upcoming ultralight headset with a tethered compute puck, codenamed Phoenix, have been found in Quest firmware:

I didn’t know you could play PCVR games without making your PC cry… I… I didn’t know… 🥹🥹🥹

There’s a new game on Steam that lets you build and manage your own actual data center. Honestly, it’s kind of genius. It takes something pretty complex and makes it way more approachable and fun while lowkey teaching people about infrastructure and emerging tech at the same time.

Check out Data Center here: store.steampowered.com/app/4170200/...

The weapon that destroyed the 80 years of progress in a decade

So we have some unexpectedly good vr news to go over plus we're discussing the past, present and future of the PSVR2. Click here - youtu.be/5EZFrSXBDiA

I've previously discussed Table Troopers and it's honestly some of the most FUN, 0 stress PVP I've played in years. It's the classic Worms Style combat with physics based destruction, just the right amount of RNG and strategy plus it's only $6.99 youtu.be/dU-jC054448

Co-op roguelite ZIX got a huge update, while developer Hidden IO announced a new free-to-play spinoff to build its player base. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/zix-new-upda...

The alien in Blackgate is a $19.99 add-on in Blackgate (and frankly, it's WAY more fun). I'll be hopping in this weekend for sure. Full article on Upload below.

Again, I don’t get it. Yes… but where’s the satire???

Kitties are the best people

I used share the narrative that the system is broken Nope. That was well meaning but completely wrong narrative. The system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as it was meant to The Trump-Epstein Files do have a degree of actual conspiracy, but mostly it’s our systems working just as they “should”

Kitties are the best people

I’ve added commentary paragraph by paragraph to the new and vague strategy document Meta released explaining that they’ve separated Quest from Horizon Worlds. For paid subscribers. open.substack.com/pub/goodvr/p...

Only a couple weeks into my independent venture and my publication is providing insight professionals and enthusiasts in this space need to read. These words went to subscribers first who are paying for Good Virtual Reality.

Yay… I get to unbreak people’s broken InterWebs… 😒😞

I needed a space to scream into that isn’t just Bluesky about bad ideas in AI, and I cannot let it pollute my effort to highlight Good Virtual Reality. So I vomited this. I still have a mouth and I can still scream, at least for now. badartificialintelligence.substack.com/p/metas-cto-...

Good VR is up and running on Bluesky! What are your favorite places to go in virtual reality?

A new BetterVR mod lets the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild run in full PC VR via Cemu, with motion controls, 6DOF head tracking, and true stereo 3D. retrohandhelds.gg/breath-of-th...

Now I gotta go try it. goodvr.substack.com/p/youtube-vi...

I try so hard for neutrality, but I find neutrality is impossible when the computer is making you the product instead of you making the product inside the computer. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/mark-zucke...

Bootstrap Island did Early Access right. Listened to feedback, added quality-of-life features requested by the community, piled on the content, & now at 1.0 they’re extending the lore and making the game feature complete. Looking forward to the full release.

I mean, yeah… but where’s the satire? theonion.com/trump-still-...

I can’t tell satire from reality anymore… 👀 bsky.app/profile/theo...

Walmart is offering Quest 3S for $250 again, $50 off, and it comes with the $50 VR blockbuster Batman: Arkham Shadow:

Sony State of Play later today (5pm ET). Usually good for a VR announcement or two. I know the copium ask is for RE9 VR support. We'll see...

The Openclaw/Moltbook situation shows that LLMs are not the way to go AGI. Hell, if anything, this is a warning. Don't put this shit in everything and think for a second ffs.

Some teams at Apple are applying “surprise and delight” to the discovery of new things to do in VR. It’s exactly the strategy employed by @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social and it’s a bit of genius. You didn’t know you could change the passage of time on Jupiter? Find your sense of wonder.

In a recent study, researchers transferred microbiota from young to aged mice. 🦠🐁 The transfer helped to restore molecular signaling necessary for proper intestinal function and improved the regenerative capacity of intestinal stem cells. lifespan.io/news/young-m... By: @drangowskaway.bsky.social

All these detention facilities that are *currently* being used for “Illegal Immigrants”… I wonder, how hard would it be to repurpose them to imprison citizens who the State deems “guilty” of <insert your choice>???

UPDATE TIME 🦺 #pcvr #psvr2

1/2 The KWS thing be like…

I did the age verification thing in haste (it was the only way to read my DMs). I’m now thinking about closing this BlueSky account and making a new one…

People throw 'niche' at VR gaming like it's a slight, an insult, or somehow a fail. Check yourself. It's been ten years of awesome. If that's what a niche is, here's to the next decade of niche and all it will bring. #vr #pcvr
