Well shit. I missed out on VR.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I have a psvr, but only one company makes an app you can watch your own files on. And they charge $30 for the app.

But then they say "no porn".

Well then I'm not buying your overpriced VR app!!! Why do you think I was even looking in the first place??? I was going to download some porn files in VR, and then watch it them through a usb stick in the ps4 on your app! But noooooooooooo. You hate money! Asshole!

Sorry. Not you. I was talking to the app.

You have to use the one linked to your Facebook account and share your porn history with Zuck.

Lol back in highschool one of my buddies accidentally clicked an fb like button on a porn site and it shared the video to his feed

Nah, can't have been a pure accident, there'd have been more steps than a single button. He'd have had to sign in at least

[–] pineapple_pizza@lemmy.dexlit.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you were signed into Facebook in the same browser session then you wouldn't need to sign in again

Look at these noobs not using a private window at minimum.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't even HAVE a facebook account.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Don't need one to share with zuck. He's already scraped all of your comments on lemmy too

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Valve index, pimax, vive, varjo?

Everyone's out here acting like the two options are the quest or the psvr, there are tons of headsets out there, especially if all you want to do is jork it

Just embrace being horny on main. :) Unless you're American. Then instead of you coming, they'll be coming for you in the next 4+ years.

I bought the psvr2 and module to hook it up to my pc but watching vr stuff in general isn't easy a you would think.

I tried some vr stuff on YouTube but I can't seem to get it to work. People suggest downloading the movie and use apps but I just want to click the video and stream it.

Same on pornhub, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I had better results with my s7 with the vr goggles...

I think there is specifically a YouTube 3D. Maybe it's an app. I was pretty unimpressed by most of the VR stuff. Blurry and distorted. Rollercoasters are fun. Nature documentaries would be neat but the quality is so low you can't really see much detail, just the grand vistas.

I personally find VR porn really meh. I want to like it, but again it's blurry - especially when they shove genitals in your face and your eyes can't focus, and you have this really awkward view of someone simulating oral sex that just hurts your eyes, and it's not even as stimulating as it would be to watch someone else doing it from a reasonable distance. At least for me.

That said, all my shit is a few years old and maybe the resolution and frame rates are better with newer stuff than oculus 2, but I think VR works better with simple shapes than video. Beatsaber is a great experience in VR and there are some similar rail shooters but most everything else has been disappointing.

Minecraft should've been fun but it made me sick. Skyrim VR was pretty fun. Especially because you could still mod it, but again the resolution and frame rate are too low for the level of detail in the game.

Not too late. Depending on your stance with Meta though.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I purposefully missed out. I think it's gimmicky in it's current state.
