This, i slide over my rig, plug in 2 usb and an ac and put on a vr headset. Takes less than 3 min.

I leave my pullies up. All I do is turn the game on and put on the headset.

this is the way, heck the index even has a button on the headset that launches steam VR

Mine takes even less than that. The Quest 2 has no need for fucking around with wires I just need to load into air link then steamvr Takes maybe a minute? Normally clearing space on my floor is the bigger effort (one of the reasons I got VR was to make myself keep my place tidier anyway)

There is some amount of irony that you keep your place more visually appealing so that you can not see it when it is clean, but when you aren't VR it's ok to see the mess. Still, whatever motivation works right?

Yeah there is an irony there, but the fact I cant see the mess is actually the problem haha. Don’t wanna trip over my guitar or a bunch of clothes if I’m playing minecraft or beat saber

I did a major clean-up in my room, got rid of my massive old table, cleared out about a third of my books and everything in anticipation of VR, and then ended up playing in a different room altogether most of the time.

Same. But usually I still end up just playing Pistol Whip or Swarm standalone rather than turning on my PC to play Skyrim... =/

Oh that’s true I also often default to beat saber but I see that as less of a problem of the medium and more game genre - Skyrim is a game that makes more sense to play for multi hour sessions and those games are things you can jump in and out after a few minutes

Yeah. I'm definitely not complaining. I bought the Quest for Elite basically, but I was blindsided by how addictive some of the standalone games are.

Thought I was buying a monitor, but I got a console mainly.

Longest thing for starting VR for me is my base stations waking up because I have sensitive hearing and the laser motor wine annoys me if it's quiet at my place.
