[Spectral Games | The Lightkeepers OUT NOW @SpectralGamesVR]

Congrats to the folks @TinyFlockGame for the release of their sheeptastic game! May every fluffy baby get to green pastures safely over all the cliffs, as our Bogusia is the weird one out of her own flock she's happy to herd all the sheeps instead 🐏 All the wooly wishes to you!

@randy_magruder @UploadVR This I cannot answer. But this campaign absolutely concludes the story that was started in campaign one.

Whether or not they continue, depends on how this and the base game sell .

That said, there’s a good 30hrs of content in the game now, which is more than most VR games.

There aren’t enough “f*ck with your head” games in VR. Hinge was ahead of its time.

Had a good time in @DungeonsVR Tomb Extraction and after so many hours, it was refreshing to do something a little new.

Full article on UploadVR.

Dungeons of Eternity's free Tomb Extraction update adds an entertaining new dungeon type, a welcome change of pace as the VR roguelite enters its fourth year.

@andrewtek @UploadVR No, it’s another dungeon crawl, just with different weapons (you go in with nothing) and some new mechanics.

Many things being talked about right now are already giving me the icky psychosis vibes that grew my trademark cynicism in the early 2020s VR pump.. when “VR was mainstream”

I love this tech, but am surprised how often we keep doing this to ourselves

It feels almost malicious

Writing articles like this is the worst part of my job. 😢

T-minus 2hrs until my first live @UploadVR Gamescast.

Speaking as someone who streamed for six years now, expect bumps in the road as @JamesAtCP & I adjust to a live format. Hope to see you there!

While we wait for the exact release date, just wanted to let y'all know that Zero Caliber 2 will support all the major PS VR2 features right from launch.
I know this stuff should pretty much be standard in 2026, but we keep getting questions about it, so yeah, there you go. :)

What he said

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

meta vr glasses are more xr glasses than a vr headset (counterintuitively named)

as a result, vr gamers being shocked by its FOV are completely missing the point.

the meta vr glasses are xr glasses that happen to run on Quest OS, with the added benefit of getting all those apps/games for free. You can also still plug it into your laptop and use it as xr glasses

XR glasses typically have a 40-50° FOV, which is completely usable to watch videos, play steam deck games, and do virtual computing.

meta vr glasses' 87° fov with a >1080p resolution is already a MASSIVE leap over all other xr glasses

[Mike Johnson @LiveOpenMike]

Y’all can stop DMing me now. 🤣

Gamescast goes LIVE starting next week… aiming for Monday pending final testing.
