Have been looking at a VR headset for the ps5. Had one before, was a lot of fun. Also connects to the PC.

Maybe.

Wipeout on the VR was the bomb, I got really motion sick using it but I was able to get used to it in the end and driving in cockpit mode.

It’s so unreal being in VR in wipeout and was so cool.

I think if I did again now I’d be sick since I haven’t used VR in awhile.

You make a convincing argument lol

It's be my early Xmas present basically. Headset works with PC and Ps5 which is cool.

Sooooo close.

Make sure Gibson doesn’t get ahold of any of the wires.

I’ve seen a few horror stories related to the munching and tearing of cords.

Hmmm. This is a damn good point. Would have to wrap them in something strong. Maybe even duct tape.

You probably could buy some sort of cable protector, I’m not sure what are best.

Something like this

When looking after hambam I smeared mine with chilli paste after he chewed through (thankfully) the DC part of a laptop charger lol.

Worked well.

Hmmm. Maybe something citrus scented would work. Apparently cats hate that.

Christmas in July
