        I have two kids and very little gaming time, but more than 75% of that time I spend in VR. With the increased immersion/escapism I have completely abandoned desktop gaming. Playing FPS on desktop just feels silly now

            Yeah my play sessions are usually when everyone is in bed so cutting myself off from other humans isn’t an issue! Looking at my backlog of games that require longer sessions and it’s just not gonna happen with my current lifestyle.

            A few years back when I had more time I messed around in Skyrim with a controller taped to a weighty staff. Managed to get it lined up perfectly in game and the trigger was usable. Using phones as motion sensors so I could walk without using a second controller. And voice control spells. That shit was crazy fun, and obviously incredibly dangerous heh. Can’t wait till VR is mainstream and we get more cool controller hardware.

              I am son disappointed that 3D TV is dead. For few movies or documentaries it was brilliant. Exploring a prehistoric cave for example. Hopefully we still can play 3D with VR

          Same here, it’s just a great evolution of gaming. 2D gaming is actually starting to feel obsolete the more I play VR.

          I too have a family and a job and lots of things to do, and I still find time to do the cool stuff I want to do like VR. The “isolation” that the other person is talking about is not an issue for me because I can stay aware of people around me with my ears and stuff.

      3D cinema is more like light gun games. Kinda cool but it doesn’t really advance anything.

      Man, now I’ve said that I miss the old Namco arcades.
