This may be the best way to play 2D* games** (lemmy.world)

**assuming streaming. Satisfactory, my current obsession, runs okay in the Frame but it’s definitely pushing it.

I’ve never had any kind of VR so this is all new to me, but having my game window in a comfortable place with other windows or desktops floating around me is the peak futuristic experience to me.

To reference one of my favorite books, Snow Crash, this is a place I could imagine meeting the Librarian and playing with a model of earth.

I could genuinely imagine working in this thing with the right peripherals.

Edit: flat, not 2D.

Definitely different than VR- feels more like sitting in a movie theater rather than looking through binoculars.

This is a good way to put it even for non-box goggles. I'm always aware of the screen edges and it gets worse the longer I use it, probably because my eyes struggle to stay focused. But with VR, I was completely and instantly immersed.

It's not too bad for me, but I'm so focused on the drone and it's surroundings that I don't really pay much attention to the edges. VR is largely the same way, once I'm focused on something like beatsaber.
