i do see its usefulness, however lol @ your example

if you would even consider using that then you're not the type who would be able to do it even with AR. figuring out what bolts to turn/ logs to disconnece that the easiest most trivial part, its the muscling, wedging tools in tight spaces, lining akward things up ets thats the hard part lmao

VR shills always try to talk about how "useful" it is and all the "great things" you can do with it. Meanwhile every time they're on VR:

If you didnt have to wear a 20lb helmet on your head, yes. The biggest takeaway from the 2010s is that technology needs to be quick and accessible.

We are definitely still in the early stages of VR, it's not going to be a big thing until it's as simple as putting on some sunglasses.

Specifically in VRchat, I'm apart of clubs that host dance events and stuff like that.

Depends on the person I think. I go through phases. Same with non-vr games. I played half life Alyx all the way through for a few hours at a time. After I beat that, I didin't touch my headhset until a couple of days ago (6 months?) because I got the walking dead on sale. Walking dead is fun so far, but I'm not itching to play it. I can go months without playing any games.

VR is pretty amazing but if I only had two options. Play games/do vr stuff or engage in my hobbies outdoors (rock climbing, biking, hiking, camping, etc) I'd pick outdoors every time.

I love to dance in general, literally the best cardio and calf exercise you can get in my opinion.

It's fun watching people's reactions and them loving it while I get to do my cardio and do something I love.
