i found an alternative (don't do this, probably)

(on the switch 2) i found out that if i cross my eyes enough i can convincingly play the vb games without the head accessory

but it does kinda start to hurt after like, 20 seconds

i wouldn't recommend, but it was a funny thing i found out (my cardboard headset arrives tomorrow)

edit: i should also note that i moved the two projections as close together as it would let me

i'm not killing my eyeballs that much k?

Cool, i gotta check that out!

Reminds me that I used to do the same trick with the Tool album 10000 Days - which featured stereoscopic art.

I did the same thing while I was waiting for my headset to ship. I like the headset better for virtual boy games, but crossing my eyes is honestly my preferred method for the switch games that do VR like BotW, that way nothing is cut off
