Bonus: it also seems that the episodes have been rolled into the base game. Full details of the anniversary update.

The last PC I built was less than a Valve index. We’re in !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, I can wait.
You can play the mod on any SteamVR compatible headset, including the very first HTC Vive, the Oculus Rift CV1 and many others. You don’t need an Index to play it
My first ever playthru of half life 2 was this year hehe
With the Meta Quest 3S coming out this holidays you may be able to get a used Quest 2 dirt cheap, and that’ll do just fine to play PC games.
I’d rather just not VR if meta has the only reasonably priced set out there.
I mean, up to you. As I said above, it’s not like owning one of those means actively supporting Facebook or whatever. I find the whole “engaging with these companies products implies endorsing them” capitalist view of money as support very strange, but I know it’s popular these days, particularly in anglo cultures.
But like I said above, it’s not like a Meta account used for a Quest used on PC will give Meta any view on your data, or like they would have made any money out of you from a device they built at a massive loss that you’re then purchasing used. But hey, you do you. There are other older, crappier headsets you can buy used, but Quest 2 listings out there start at sixty bucks, which is absolutely nuts for what they are.
Do you need a Facebook account to use that?
Yes. And don’t let the “no it’s a meta account only now” crowd play that card. It’s the same company sucking the same data in to the same ad drenched glory hole.
This wasn’t the case with the Quest 1 until it was. You could run that completely standalone with SteamVR after the backlash over a required account, then once the blowback subsided, they reintroduced the requirement.
We learned this last year after dusting off the OG Quest and trying to get it running with SteamVR. It straight refused to work without a FB/Meta account. Creating a new one has a bunch of bullshit hoops that failed when attempted behind any type of ad blocking DNS so I gave up and put the paperweight back in the case and moved on.
Fuck Meta. Fuck FB. And Fuck anything else Zuck and co touch.
Sorry for the rant it’s early and I haven’t had caffeine.
Hah. If it makes the active militant feel better, Meta lost a bunch of money basically giving away all those Quest 2’s and the only thing they’ll get from you by having a Meta account only for your Quest is that you bought one and didn’t buy any software in their store.
Bonus points for your “money is support” tally if you use Steam Link for wireless play instead of Oculus Link.
