People wanted gaming videos so I connected 1 & 2 together and did some gaming in the background, let me know what you think ❤ Also for anyone interested here are the exact Magnetic Cables I have: amzn.to/3chuA3V (This is an affiliate link) You can also get right angle ones though: amzn.to/3wR6o1u (This is also an affiliate link)
because of Quest 2 64g owners, we never going to see triple A title games. Develpers will be too scare to make high quality game with big size gig because of 64g version owners. Good job FB for being greedy. 128g version suppose to be available on Day 1. Unfortunately 70% Quest 2 owners are 64g onwers. i bet Medal of Honor will be poor sale because of that
can you put the link to recommended magnetic cables in the description like you said in the video? I was searching for them online, but couldn't decide on which one to buy, because there are so many different brands and I don't know what specs to look for are there any good ones with USB-C to USB-C available? I can mostly only find USB-A to micro USB/Lightning/USB-C
Yesterday I was in VR Chat painting and a kid came up and just tried to paint over everything. I had locked the painting so he could do that, but then he went to someone else's painting and did the same thing, ruining it. He then came back to me to tell me what he did and that the painter got mad. I said, "Well did you ask if you could paint on their picture?" he said no. I asked if he thought they would have liked you to paint over their art, and he said no. So I asked, "Why did you do that." He then left.
Kids these days don't have parents. They don't want to be punished. They want an echo chamber where "hahaha you mess up paint. Haha funny" And it's sad. Very very sad.
We need some way to have adult-only rooms with age verification (even if there's a one-time payment to get verified). If kids want to play amongst themselves, let them, but it would be great to have a way to filter them out. It works the same way in real life, you have different spaces for different age groups.
That just makes the kids ruin other kids. It has to come down to parenting, tbh. And yeah, age verification by way of signing up for playing the game in multiplayer should def be a thing. But what would really help is a moderation system in place, where you can report problem people and if enough reports come in on that person, they get flagged for disciplinary actions like suspensions or bans.
different games have different ratings, it's the parents job to make sure they play games that aren't rated M. Besides i don't know of a single social game where you can't mute people.
It's kind of funny to me that the whole children in VR thing is a big talking point. Kids have been toxic in video games since the invention of multiplayer on online video games. VR is just a newer medium and just like with any online game people are going to be toxic.
right, imagine being able to mute them so you no longer hear them or just go somewhere else and still cry that they are ruining your experience, I wonder who the real child is lol
@@GasolineLicker I come from the modern warfare 2 days where people would be yelling slurs in the lobbies and insulting each other non-stop. Some stuff like that happens in VR but honestly most of my experience within VR games like Pavlov are really enjoyable. Sometimes you have to sift through some trolls, but overall people in Pavlov are much nicer than modern warfare. 2
I literally met a 6 year old in VRchat, him screaming slurs and cursing, no parents or siblings or anyone came to stop him, this truly scares me cause its showing that kids in VR, shouldn't be in VR in the first place, its scary to think of what the future will hold with VR. side note: i've seen others below me saying how im in the wrong for sharing an experience (how tf-) and talking about the old days, i dont care about the old days on xbox bro. literally those days are gone, done and over with. idc about those types of kids because they grew up. this is a new platform with new technology that shouldn't BE GIVEN out to kids under 13, so the people in the comments below, shut the hell up.
I found this kid in a gun world absolutely going off, so mean- I had made a joke about his mom not loving him (please don’t come for me- I felt horrible) and it dawned on me that WE are the village that will influence these kids. When I realized I might have struck a nerve I immediately changed my avatar into one with similar colors and started pretending to be his BFF. Complimenting the yellow and head patting and it was the most amazing thing: he totally turned his attitude around. He was friendly and started to help others shoot the guns, showing them how it’s done. He went on to follow us to Furhub and instantly bonded with another person there over their avatar’s gun. He went from angry to enthused so quickly. It’s the ones most seemingly “unworthy” of love that need it the most. It’s amazing what a little kindness can do.
Stopped using VRChat for the exact reasons mentioned. Kids running amok and ruining the experience no matter where you try and hide. The more popular the room the worse it is. I would really like developers and moderators to find a way of incorporating age verification into sign in and then maybe stratify access so the little punks and punkettes can 'play' together and us grown up have our zones. Presumably kids want to hang out with their mates, not grown ups so why not let them have exclusive access to age orientated rooms. I know that blocking is an option but no sooner have you blocked one than another pops up. Also many times it's not 'bad' behaviour as such just immature behaviour i.e. kids being kids.
I do agree as I am old enough to use vrchat however I hate being put in 15-18 lobbies because 1, the e-daters, 2, the furries and 3, the emos. They are some of the most unfun people ever and as someone who uses a soundboard I usually get blocked and muted a lot of the time. However I prefer to be with the older adults and most of them vibe and I don’t mind some of the younger people as they usually vibe to music that I sometimes play. I really wish they made age specific lobbies as vr chat is just generally unfun nowadays. Also you have the furries that just dance to music coming from down there mic in a murdermystery game and I wouldnt mind however its bad quality and just play the game.
Real quick: Parents of gamer kids, please monitor your child's gameplay habits. Don't let them hole up in their room without check ins. Encourage family participation. And please encourage moderation in language and behavior. K thx byeeee
Many parents don´t care about their kids, they spoil them over materialism and think is the right answer for love. They don´t want to discipline them because they are too scared to lose them, many kids understand this dynamic and take advantage of it, doing whatever they want knowing that they won´t get punished for something wrong.
13-14 is a good starting age however we could still do a lot more to protect children. Vrchat has world's separate for pc/quest why not 18&under/18&over? More optional parental controls are always a good thing.
@@andyfrecker2096 there are a ton of variables. Having an under 18 signature next to avatars would be another good solution. Most high-schools have kids from 13-19 mingling. Personally I think 18 and under rooms are far better than having adults grooming teenagers.
I'd just like to give a shoutout to you, Mysticle, for using my lightsabers mod in your video! Took me a minute to realize you were playing with mods at 8:02 XD
I don't know what your definition of the word Clickbait is but I'd like you to point it out here. Since our definitions must be very different. Title and thumbnail matches the video perfectly. No deception or anything like that. Don't like the looks? Nobody is forcing you to click or look at them.
The last time I was in RECroom I was chased away by toddlers swearing at me and harassing me. The thing about children is that they are quite literally immature humans. I can't see myself playing Recroom again. Although to be fair a lot of those people behaving badly are not even using VR. People who don't use VR have no idea how intimate each encounter is. Its one thing to be harassed by an avatar on a screen in front of you, and a totally different thing when its a life like figure standing inches away from you.
I was playing rec room and this kid was chasing after with me with a shotgun and he couldn’t get me so after like 40 seconds I got a pistol and killed him. he started spamming the n word and calling me a fag and got all his friends to get me, so after I died to 7 little kids he just started calling me shit and mad. I didn’t say anything to him that match.
I have a lot of experience demoing VR games. My suggested age as a minimum usually is 12. This is not because of the recent study necessary, but they tend to understand and use VR as intended. Younger kids don't always get what's happening and just acts like it's a flatscreen game. There are exceptions of course, but that's my experience
13 I think is good I knew what the world really was and my eyes were fine at the moment. Because vr being used in other ways, should NOT BE FOR KIDS. Trust me. I wished someone stopped me. Heard gluck gluck 3000 in a vrchat room. Its disturbing.
When I played echo there were so many chill people who were mostly over aged, now the game is unplayable with the sheer amount of screeching toxic 10 year olds
I played it about a year and a half ago for the first time and it was basically all kids under 12. They taught me how to play the game and it was kind of fun dealing with some shenanigans. There were a couple of really weird kids that made me a little uncomfortable though (making crude jokes/gestures and generally getting in my personal space). Similarly when I played rec room around the same time there were basically only children in the hang out room. Their immaturity really shows and can make games I'd otherwise like to enjoy seem like a playground in a park that I'm too old to have fun in
I think the fire risk is probably mostly due to the magnetic connections.. Those magnetic connections could attract little pieces of metal that can cause a short circuit and arc. they could literally fill with metallic powder or bits. I had this happen to me. Thankfully in my case, I became aware of it before any arcing occurred. And the device I was using was not using high wattage charging. It was mostly a data cable. As for kids in VR being toxic. I am pretty quick to use the "block" and/or "mute" feature so i don't have to deal with them. What i like is what Recroom is doing to foster helpfulness encouraging and kindness towards fellow players.. they often run daily challenges which include "cheer"ing a fellow player in recroom. This kind of reminds me of some of the principles taught in the scouts.
Very good points in this video. I know one of the biggest killers of the CV1 was actually sweat. Highly corrosive salt water and electrics don’t mix. I always recommend wearing a sweat band to reduce evaporation inside the headset. Especially if your doing things like exercise games or dancing in VRchat.
I’m one of the charger port melting victims. 100% on their charging block and cable. Back and forth with oculus took 85 days to replace. It started with the charging block and cable being sent in. Which was fused to the headset. Lol. So it was hard to dispute if it was their charging block or not. But…..80+ days to replace my unit sucked.
One thing that's worth mentioning with Oculus charging ports melting is that the outlet which the device is being plugged into could be one meant for a different device. Most people are unaware that many of these devices have a combination of voltage and current to charge a connected device at maximum speed that may not be rated for usage with the Oculus. Everything may seem normal at the beginning but as you mentioned you could soon run into a fire/safety hazard.
well most of these kids will also mature given that most kids that play gorilla tag haven't actually hit puberty yet but yes its scary being a 15 year old in this world and being categorized with these types of people
Playing Overwatch since Fall of 2017 I can tell you the problem of toxicity is just a daily fact of life. You will be told the worst things ever over nothing.
I've had so many bad experiences with children in games and apps. So yes I dont think children should be allowed in games for older people. Make a server for younger folks.
I bought Pavlov but I was instantly put off by the amount of screaming children in it, now I mostly play offline deathmatch, VRChat is orders of magnitude worse, I'm sure someone got their hearing damaged by squeaking children. Easy accessibility to vr means more people will be able to try it, but at the same time it means that more and more children will use it without their parents' supervision.
Pavlov on PC is so much better. I switched from Rift to Q2 and kinda regretted it simply because i loved pavlov, but on Q2 its just FILLED with children and its not as funny or chill as the PC version.
I actually had a super hot charger incident yesterday, I had left my quest on standby (I usually power down) and after about an hour I realized the light was red, unplugged the headset and the charger and area around the port were super hot to where I couldn't touch it for long.
I seriously wonder as to the technical details for why this happens. It seems to happen quite a bit and with the original charger. I also usually only charge mine while off but I have been able to start charging it through the headstraps port and that seems to have removed the heat issue.
I definitely agree with the children in vr! I hear a bunch of them just yell inappropriate things in there which is annoying and it’s weird that I get more and more of them day by day. It is now rare that I see 13+ people on the quest. I want to specify that i am referring to the game echo vr
You know what hurts motor skills? Not taking time to play with you kids. Seated video games hurt motor skills too. I play with my son in rec room ( mostly private rooms). His motor skills are fine. Because I take time to be a dad and take him outside vas well.
@@billy3114 vr is no t bad for motor skills at all. if a kid is standing up, moving around, playing beat saber, racket nx, robo recal, etc for hours, thats going to be just as good if not better than going outside and playing. the thrillseeker video was total nonsense. the study he referenced was absolutely nothing to do with childrens development being harmed by vr, the study merely discovered that very young children dont have the developed motor skills to be as good as adult as aiming/steering with their entire upper body. with the study concluding that such control methods wouldnt be a good idea for childrens game because they arent as inherently as good at it as adults. thats it. NOTHING to do with damaging childrens development at all.
As a kid, yes I really hate the children in VR. A lot of them are so much for no reason at all. (And I can confidently say I have to be at least 3 years older than them.) So on top of the study that shows that 10 and under are messing up their balance playing VR, they are also ruining the fun of most online games.
I can agree with this. I'm 15 myself and I hate that many kids who's parents let them do whatever they want ruin the fun in games and also ruins the fun for kids who actually play right and act civilized. There should definitely be a reporting system that if there is so many reports they will be suspended and put into lobbies with other people who have also gotten reports for such reasons.
Been using a Quick Charge Powerbank to have my Q2 maintain charge while in use for the past 6 months, now. No issues. I think the melted sockets are from crappy cables, or people jarring the plug. The cable shoukd be a right angle cable to eliminate the moment arm and damage potential.
I remember the first time I tried rec room I was playing paintball and had a kid I would say 5-6 years old running around screaming the n word if you were to kill him or if he would kill you.
I dislike that badly behaved kids also ruin the fun for well behaved ones due to immature or plain rude older people. I was in a public lobby where an older teen bullied a kid out of a game lobby in VRchat just for being a kid. As far as I know he wasnt misbehaving so the older guy was just being plain rude! Sadly I can imagine many people without patience also categorizing every kid as bad without giving them a chance first, possible giving the good ones reason to act bad or at least ruining their day which is sad to imagine.
It makes sense tho I’m 14 years old and a kid and if all I heard was screaming children all the time I would just start to expect all of them are similar like that
Regarding Quest 2 batteries, since I live in Egypt with a relatively hot & humid weather, I did notice a performance issue when using AirLink while my power bank is hooked to the HMD, however, that did stopped recently and am not sure wither it was due to weather getting cooler or a recent update?!
Been loving this channel! I'm (hopefully) getting an oculus quest 2 this Christmas and I've been binge-watching every one of your videos, really good content, keep it up!
the problem with kids in VR is you cant smack them up side the head when they start mouthing off XD i play a lot of onward tho and those lobbies have a kick function so honestly any one starts getting lippy they get booted no questions asked. learn to be civil and treat ppl with respect or gtfo
I was a little Devil as a kid and many of my friends where no better but the stuff I hear kids say in VR is unreal. Clearly the parents of said child is to blame but even when I was a kid being my bad self I still had some basic morals. The kids I hear have zero respect for any one. I once walked in on a bunch of kids laughing about how they where going to make another kid kill him self. This poor kid was crying so hard so I asked what was wrong and he said his mother passed away. Are kids today this soilless?
Yea vr headsets look silly but thanks to them I get to hang out with friends on the other side of the planet and I also actually use it for college work. I use gravity sketch for bringing initial sketches and designs into 3d and even storyboard with it. They are clunky and awkward but also really damn handy.
Lighter AR tech is getting close to consumer level for that sort of thing. I'm really looking forward to it, even if I know its going to be janky for a long time.
Great video as usual. I have a 12, 15, and 17 year old, they all play VR with me. My youngest seems to handle it fine, and we play Powerbeats VR together as an exercise regimen. I've no desire to own Metal of Honor in VR thankfully, as I have the 64 GB model. I have a ton of games and have only used a little over half the space on it. To find a game that would pretty much take the entire system up kind of annoys me. Ultimately I love my Quest 2 and my Two Quest 1's and I can't think of any other VR that would provide half as much enjoyment as I get out of these headsets.
I have an old Facebook account which I used for years with no problems, but it does not have my actual name. I don't know if I should change it or leave it the way it is cause I don't want to be banned from either way.
I'm 13 and I use VR, and it is disappointing to see what some other kids do in VR. I mostly don't even use voice chat, it's just too depressing. It's sad that a small minority of people are ruining VR for a larger group. One thing I have found to be useful, at least in Echo VR, is joining one of the other lobbies, not the playground one, as these are moderated a bit so it helps. Also games such as hyperdash now have lobbies for higher level players, and I'm yet to encounter any rude young kids in these ones. On another note, I have a 64gb quest 2 and It's really annoying bigger games aren't going to fit on it (at least, not more than 1)
Hanging out in VRChat and getting harassed by 8 year olds is just sad days you know? Me and the boys just trying to play some putt putt. Idk, my philosophy may be toxic in it of itself, but I do not think kids should interact with technology until they are in their teens. Of course within reason. But comparing my childhood to my younger sibling's is just... Such a stark difference, while my sister and I played around in the garden, planted potatoes, dug holes, built stuff with tools and had storytimes my younger brother (by 9 years) has only really experienced screaming at his friends over discord or smacking away at an ipad. Idk... I just think irl interaction in the most crucial years for human development is more important than cool tech.
I had a friend that had his quest 2 catch on fire. The bottom front part where the front part and the bottom part meet is melted. He had it on his head when it did luckily he is ok and he got a replacement from oculus but yeah. He sent me a picture of it where the plastic melted
To be honest I don't know. It might be just a really rare thing. He just said he was playing it and it catch on fire. He contacted oculus and got a free replacement so it might just be a quality control problem or just over charging and over use
I got mine relatively recently (a couple days after it was rereleased in August) and I'm just being careful. Until I get the Link cable, I'm only using the cable that came with the Quest for anything, and I'm not bothering with a battery pack for the forseeable future.
My quest is fine, I've broke both of my controllers and had to replace them. But I'm noticing performance halts. In another mysticle video I heard him say something about it. I'm a bit worried about it because my games are laggy and crash a lot. Otherwise its fine. A lot of the time I can't even open my home menu without about 5 fps.
@@daninboutwell1274 haha, its a long story. About 7 months ago I was playing gorilla tag and threw my controller. The lights were doing weird blinking and wouldn't stop and it wouldn't turn on. My old right one still works, but not the best. I was playing echo vr and was about to throw the disc and I hit it so hard the ring snapped and the hard plastic front of the ring snapped into pieces. The far left part of the ring is where the ring itself snapped. It works still other than the far left IR Sensor.
The image of the quest you popped on the screen in the intro with the *close up of the lenses* has a 1 on the light sensor. Mine has a 2 on that sensor. Is it a quest one image or is it 1st gen vs 2nd gen?
If you move the lenses to the right only one the other will do the same the number changes to ether a 1 or 3 if your on a 2 it for peoples eyes cause everyone has different eye spaces idk how to explain it ruclips.net/video/xnfuMcakBEw/видео.html heres a video on it
I swear all the squeakers just see cool new device and just naturally gravitate towards it. Even the ones that aren’t that toxic are just still kinda annoying, really though if Meta is literally tracking almost everything about you except age.
@@teamdecive6461 Oculus started good, and went downhill when Facebook got its hands on it. I don't find that line any more surprising and more on the lines of "this is why we can't have nice things, lizard."
I just have the box the headset came in and i charge my headset while its in the box. (The box is always open and i charge it if its low like 50 and below) hopefully i dont encounter an issue where my quest catches fire
I have a 64GB quest 2, and I use it almost exclusively as a wireless PCVR headset for flight sim 2020. I knew exactly what I was getting into with it. I’ve got a couple of small experiences on my quest2 now. But the quest 2 was a relatively cheap buy in for VR flight sim.
I just got a quest 2 and on my first VR experience when I got in to echo vr I can see what you mean. Kids got no filter, I was like wtf is going on in here. They definitely need a age confirmation to log in to certain lobbies and the minium age of 13 is a joke these "teens" are just starting to go through puberty and their emotions are all over the walls, when you add VR to it I feel like it can get a little messy.
bad pr for oculus / meta can = a more even playing field for steam vr tracked headsets and other competitors. this can be a good thing for competition but despite that detonating headsets is always bad. i own a vive and quest 2 myself and it does seem like some of my concerns regarding the quest 2 were fully justified
Hey man. I'm 13. I have social anxiety and don't talk to anyone at all. Just letting you know, not all children are like this. Personally, I get really annoyed at them, but I still understand that they are developing and maybe got a bit too comfortable. Come at me if you want, just letting you know.
If you calmly talk to them with respect I generally see their personality do a 180. Though I usually try to avoid playing with kids because it just feels weird and creepy.
@@Giliver Actually me too. I prefer to play with people my age, and after long periods of time I might talk knowing what they are like. Never to little kids though.
Echo VR is one of my favorite games of all time... And is regularly being ruined by racist, toxic children. I'm very tempted to start reporting all of them. I hate reporting people, but maybe that's what needs to happen. These kids don't belong in VR, and especially not if they are spouting hate speech.
@@TheSprockee I'm not sure if they will know it is me reporting them... I reported someone on xbox years ago, and they reported me in return, along with getting a few of their friends to report me also. The end result was me getting my account banned for a week or so, and being on "probation" for a while despite not doing anything wrong. I've been hesitant to do it again ever since.
I demoed Rec room for my younger cousin. (Supervised of course) and as soon as he joined a lobby all that could be heard from the headset speakers was this kid screaming his fucking head off swearing at other people and just insulting them. Keep in mind this was a role play area. No need for that shit
I think it's also parenting. I think kids can be in VR, but under supervision for like an hour or two. Another reason is toxicity in public servers. I think if there was to be a minimum age, it would have to be 16 to be honest.
i feel like kids start to actually mature at 10-11, as thats when the parents may add some responsibility. but a litteral 8 year old should'nt be playing vr, running around in echo vr lobbies
I'm most worried about the eyesight of the children. Current VR technoledgy doesn't fully replicate the real world visuals. Human eyeballs can change their focal length to match the distance to objects, an abilty that is the stongest when very young(8 yrs old) and is almost lost at 60 years old. But every commercial VR right now has fixed focal length(around 2m), so when children are looking through the headset their eyes could be under high stress which could lead to nearsightedness or worse.
Well, my Quest 2 charge port melted. Meta doesn't seem particular concerned about this problem either, as it took them over a month and a half to even give me shipping labels. So, it certainly happens.
Yeah, I was on VRChat found a kid who was probably 5-8 and was shown 18+ content even though those people knew there was a child in the world with them, I have a tendency to kind of watch how people act around children in VRChat for fun and to research. But the amount of times I have seen kids introduced to 18+ is not okay at all this is one of the main reasons I think kids shouldn't be in vr or at least not in online vr games.
Any device is delicate. If you ever watch Beast Wars, “It’s a valuable piece of equipment. Take care of it.” Anyone who has been in the military has heard many terms. Preventive maintenance, PM the radio… I use a magnetic connector on my Oculus Quest 2. I use it for connections, charging, and keeping foreign particles out of the charging port. I use a simple toothbrush to remove said particles. Charging the device while in use quickly heats up the battery. Always think of safety when using your Oculus. Clean and p.m. the device also…
I'd love a squeaker filter. If your voice is above a certain octave then auto mute. Also a math test would be a great way to gate keep them. I'd pay more if they banned the children from VR
The charging thing worried me. But then you mentioned its caused by your charger getting hit while playing. Thats why i dont use it while its charging. I charge it till its good to go before playing. And before people say i shouldnt as overcharging is dangerous. I set a timer to go off before it fully charges
The problem is that people tend to think of VR as just a video game. But there is some sense in thinking of it as an actual reality. Like would you allow kids to walk around a red light district in your city? Or enter a pub/bar? Like in VR chat there are worlds where people like to hang out while drinking at home physically but with buddies in VR simultaneously. I was on VR Chat the other night and saw this group of people talking about their sex lives in a corner of some bar world. I think they were around 18-22 and it was like a frathouse convo pretty much and got pretty spicy (they were talking about what seemed to me like borderline date rape). A couple of 10 year olds started hanging out around them and they didn't stop (why would they? Setting aside the ethics of their topic they were in a virtual bar anyway which was clearly made for adults). Seeing the kids there made me really uncomfortable somehow.
I have used my 64gb Q2 with vr power 1, I'm ashamed to say that VR power 1 didnt last longer than 3 months before it started to show signs of quicker discharge and taking longer to charge because quite literally I was using this for about 5 hours every day, I was aware of a possible battery failure at one point though it hasnt happened yet and because of this video im getting my self a fresh new one as we speak xD im highly satisfied with it for balancing the headset and prolonging headset use, just not with its life span, im guessing because I was pretty aggresive with it. Though if I ever went on cable or if I ran a cable to the port while in use, I always ran it between the left arm and the headset, I never used anything to secure outside of that arm. on cable I ran it between those two spots and gave it some lenght, if I ever pulled on it it would get wedged between those two spots, the same thing with the cable for the battery pack. I dont have any knowledge on the headset, the only thing I would say that has failed me was the head of the L shaped C port connection, where it started to bend independently from the rubber body, I inspect my stuff before use and I felt that at some point if it bended and snapped off I would be left with live leads; eventually dangling next to my cheek, we all know how conductive liquid is with salt, if you are sweating a lot.
I think VR experiences (with a positive influence) could mean the world to a child coming from a negligent or even dangerous environment. It’s so confusing and lonely as a kid.
The problem is with how there brain develops motor skills tho right so wouldn't messing up a kids ability to move around in real life be worse for then then anything (unless you mean kids that are above the recommended age specifically in which case ignore me lol)
Sometimes when I turn on my quest 2 with the PC link cable or air link, it makes a super loud screeching noise that rapidly gets faster and is almost ear bleeding loud
Yeah my quest 2 64GB is basically a paper weight now but wait now I only can play certain games I bought it 4 months before they announced the 128 gigIf I would've known there were the upgrade the same size for the same price I would've waited or I would've bought the bigger size if I wouldn't known the games would be that big
I really like your channel. You have a pleasant delivery style and your content is interesting and insightful. I'm also in my 40s, listening to you complain about kids makes me chuckle...
I feel like that could be the fan, since that is likely one of the most prominent moving pieces. It could be something more serious though, so definitely make sure to contact Oculus support about it and see if you can have the issue identified.
Hello. I have myopia and I want to buy Quest 2 . does VR has any side effects for my eyes? do you advice me to play with my medical glasses or without it? my medical glasses has some filter of anti blue light, is the anti blue light filter good for protect my eyes from VR?
If you go into the original android system settings in the meta quest 2 and disable the quick actions menu the whole universal menu disappears and you can't access it back unless if you factory reset it
Great video, its helped me decide whether to get one of these, but I have to say I was really distracted by that life sized Danny Devito cut out on your desk
I was in a public vrchat lobby the other night and a kid who couldn't have been more than 8-9 was talking and singing some childrens song. The older kids started roasting him and calling him homophobic slurs and the little kid started crying and you could hear him sobbing over the mic. It was pretty sad and kind of made me realize how detrimental it can all be without proper moderation and parenting in place.
I have oculus quest 2, and suddenly when I on my VR to play I saw all of my apps gone, and when I enter the store it says “something went wrong” and I can’t search any games in the store
On Saturday, I had to get a new Quest 2 because my previous Quest 2 just randomly made an electrical arc noise and then started to overheat the external battery and the quest 2 both. Totally unexplainable because nothing else changed. Same cable, same battery, and no hits that I know of to the cable / quest connector (regular cable / non-magnetic). Luckily I had a store-warranty so it only cost me the price of a new warranty (for the new Quest 2) to replace it. But it was scary because I knew I had 2 batteries on my head and I've seen enough videos of fires on rechargeable electronics to be frightened. Good video!
My quest 2 screamed at me about heat and something and the battery popped and slightly caught fire 🔥 would it still work without the battery and if not how to bypass the battery entirely?
Hi The Mystical! I noticed you read your comment section so I thought I might as well ask in case you or another person sees my question and answers it. I actually am interested in this magnetic charging device, but I couldn’t find the link in the description. Any help?
This is the one I personally have :) I like it because it's round and allows the cable to rotate so it disconnects less. Cool part is you can also find magnetic round right angle cables that just make it look super clean. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VXVS6ZH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_8ST7W7VPW30YD9YG6ASK
to protect that port, just get a "magnet USB-C adapter 20 pin" and stick it to the quest with some 3M VHB double sided adhesive. that adapter support full data and power transfer rates, and it's super sleek.
People wanted gaming videos so I connected 1 & 2 together and did some gaming in the background, let me know what you think ❤
Also for anyone interested here are the exact Magnetic Cables I have: amzn.to/3chuA3V (This is an affiliate link)
You can also get right angle ones though: amzn.to/3wR6o1u (This is also an affiliate link)
It helps to pay attention to your voice when I see mindless gameplay
because of Quest 2 64g owners, we never going to see triple A title games. Develpers will be too scare to make high quality game with big size gig because of 64g version owners. Good job FB for being greedy. 128g version suppose to be available on Day 1. Unfortunately 70% Quest 2 owners are 64g onwers. i bet Medal of Honor will be poor sale because of that
Where do I search for the right angles quest cable can you send me link for it?
can you put the link to recommended magnetic cables in the description like you said in the video?
I was searching for them online, but couldn't decide on which one to buy, because there are so many different brands and I don't know what specs to look for
are there any good ones with USB-C to USB-C available?
I can mostly only find USB-A to micro USB/Lightning/USB-C

Yesterday I was in VR Chat painting and a kid came up and just tried to paint over everything.
I had locked the painting so he could do that, but then he went to someone else's painting and did the same thing, ruining it.
He then came back to me to tell me what he did and that the painter got mad.
I said, "Well did you ask if you could paint on their picture?" he said no.
I asked if he thought they would have liked you to paint over their art, and he said no.
So I asked, "Why did you do that." He then left.
Kids these days don't have parents. They don't want to be punished. They want an echo chamber where "hahaha you mess up paint. Haha funny"
And it's sad. Very very sad.
Hey at least he learned a lesson
Quest 2 is cheaper than an abortion, I can see the connection here👌 gotcha
@@bomjahed yesss 🤣
@@bomjahed
A sad but true humor I can appreciate
We need some way to have adult-only rooms with age verification (even if there's a one-time payment to get verified). If kids want to play amongst themselves, let them, but it would be great to have a way to filter them out.
It works the same way in real life, you have different spaces for different age groups.
That just makes the kids ruin other kids. It has to come down to parenting, tbh. And yeah, age verification by way of signing up for playing the game in multiplayer should def be a thing. But what would really help is a moderation system in place, where you can report problem people and if enough reports come in on that person, they get flagged for disciplinary actions like suspensions or bans.
different games have different ratings, it's the parents job to make sure they play games that aren't rated M. Besides i don't know of a single social game where you can't mute people.
The poor kids that are actually ok will be stuck with the annoying ones so I wouldnt do that
@@banga1081 True...
That would be stupid
Why would you pay to verify that you're a certain age?
It's kind of funny to me that the whole children in VR thing is a big talking point. Kids have been toxic in video games since the invention of multiplayer on online video games. VR is just a newer medium and just like with any online game people are going to be toxic.
right, imagine being able to mute them so you no longer hear them or just go somewhere else and still cry that they are ruining your experience, I wonder who the real child is lol
I swear, kids can actually be fun to play with, but the few that are actually toxic really make it look like it’s horrible.
@@GasolineLicker I come from the modern warfare 2 days where people would be yelling slurs in the lobbies and insulting each other non-stop. Some stuff like that happens in VR but honestly most of my experience within VR games like Pavlov are really enjoyable. Sometimes you have to sift through some trolls, but overall people in Pavlov are much nicer than modern warfare. 2
@@phonkequinox2602 Definitely. Usually, people in games like Gorilla Tag or Echo VR are chill, but there’s still a risk of toxicity.
I feel like its particularly the people who came to VR without multiplayer gaming history that are the most triggered
I literally met a 6 year old in VRchat, him screaming slurs and cursing, no parents or siblings or anyone came to stop him, this truly scares me cause its showing that kids in VR, shouldn't be in VR in the first place, its scary to think of what the future will hold with VR.
side note: i've seen others below me saying how im in the wrong for sharing an experience (how tf-) and talking about the old days, i dont care about the old days on xbox bro. literally those days are gone, done and over with. idc about those types of kids because they grew up. this is a new platform with new technology that shouldn't BE GIVEN out to kids under 13, so the people in the comments below, shut the hell up.
Bro its literally the internet, anything can happen in the internet, did you just blame vr for a kid slurring
Did you never play Xbox 360? Lol
I found this kid in a gun world absolutely going off, so mean- I had made a joke about his mom not loving him (please don’t come for me- I felt horrible) and it dawned on me that WE are the village that will influence these kids. When I realized I might have struck a nerve I immediately changed my avatar into one with similar colors and started pretending to be his BFF. Complimenting the yellow and head patting and it was the most amazing thing: he totally turned his attitude around. He was friendly and started to help others shoot the guns, showing them how it’s done. He went on to follow us to Furhub and instantly bonded with another person there over their avatar’s gun. He went from angry to enthused so quickly. It’s the ones most seemingly “unworthy” of love that need it the most. It’s amazing what a little kindness can do.
@@Giliver nope
@@mystic2307 didn't blame.
Stopped using VRChat for the exact reasons mentioned. Kids running amok and ruining the experience no matter where you try and hide. The more popular the room the worse it is. I would really like developers and moderators to find a way of incorporating age verification into sign in and then maybe stratify access so the little punks and punkettes can 'play' together and us grown up have our zones. Presumably kids want to hang out with their mates, not grown ups so why not let them have exclusive access to age orientated rooms. I know that blocking is an option but no sooner have you blocked one than another pops up. Also many times it's not 'bad' behaviour as such just immature behaviour i.e. kids being kids.
And the ones that are Invite and Invite+ are typically for specs management reasons.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think the minimum should be?
play pc vr theres no kids in PC on worlds
there are some clubs in vrchat that you have to prove you’re 18+ to get in
I do agree as I am old enough to use vrchat however I hate being put in 15-18 lobbies because 1, the e-daters, 2, the furries and 3, the emos. They are some of the most unfun people ever and as someone who uses a soundboard I usually get blocked and muted a lot of the time. However I prefer to be with the older adults and most of them vibe and I don’t mind some of the younger people as they usually vibe to music that I sometimes play. I really wish they made age specific lobbies as vr chat is just generally unfun nowadays. Also you have the furries that just dance to music coming from down there mic in a murdermystery game and I wouldnt mind however its bad quality and just play the game.
Real quick: Parents of gamer kids, please monitor your child's gameplay habits. Don't let them hole up in their room without check ins. Encourage family participation. And please encourage moderation in language and behavior. K thx byeeee
amen to that
Or you can just let then have a good childhood
@@Charchar289 Did I say something wrong?
Many parents don´t care about their kids, they spoil them over materialism and think is the right answer for love. They don´t want to discipline them because they are too scared to lose them, many kids understand this dynamic and take advantage of it, doing whatever they want knowing that they won´t get punished for something wrong.
13-14 is a good starting age however we could still do a lot more to protect children. Vrchat has world's separate for pc/quest why not 18&under/18&over?
More optional parental controls are always a good thing.
That seems a little broad even still I mean 16 17 year olds would probably fit in better with the adults then 13 year old kids
@@andyfrecker2096 there are a ton of variables. Having an under 18 signature next to avatars would be another good solution.
Most high-schools have kids from 13-19 mingling. Personally I think 18 and under rooms are far better than having adults grooming teenagers.

The last time I was in RECroom I was chased away by toddlers swearing at me and harassing me. The thing about children is that they are quite literally immature humans. I can't see myself playing Recroom again. Although to be fair a lot of those people behaving badly are not even using VR. People who don't use VR have no idea how intimate each encounter is. Its one thing to be harassed by an avatar on a screen in front of you, and a totally different thing when its a life like figure standing inches away from you.
I was playing rec room and this kid was chasing after with me with a shotgun and he couldn’t get me so after like 40 seconds I got a pistol and killed him. he started spamming the n word and calling me a fag and got all his friends to get me, so after I died to 7 little kids he just started calling me shit and mad. I didn’t say anything to him that match.
I have a lot of experience demoing VR games. My suggested age as a minimum usually is 12.
This is not because of the recent study necessary, but they tend to understand and use VR as intended. Younger kids don't always get what's happening and just acts like it's a flatscreen game.
There are exceptions of course, but that's my experience
I hole heartily agree.
think 13+ is better just to be safe cause you don't want vr hurting chids devolopment or some shit like that
13 I think is good I knew what the world really was and my eyes were fine at the moment. Because vr being used in other ways, should NOT BE FOR KIDS. Trust me. I wished someone stopped me. Heard gluck gluck 3000 in a vrchat room. Its disturbing.
KIDS BELOW 12 NEED TO GET OFF VR
@@f0vri that's with everything online tho

Ong
I'm now 11 but I'm not one of those screeching 10 year Olds and I always at lest get 2 of them every day
@@Saudiguyjawad pretty rare to find any mature people under the age of 16
I played it about a year and a half ago for the first time and it was basically all kids under 12. They taught me how to play the game and it was kind of fun dealing with some shenanigans. There were a couple of really weird kids that made me a little uncomfortable though (making crude jokes/gestures and generally getting in my personal space). Similarly when I played rec room around the same time there were basically only children in the hang out room. Their immaturity really shows and can make games I'd otherwise like to enjoy seem like a playground in a park that I'm too old to have fun in
I think the fire risk is probably mostly due to the magnetic connections.. Those magnetic connections could attract little pieces of metal that can cause a short circuit and arc. they could literally fill with metallic powder or bits. I had this happen to me. Thankfully in my case, I became aware of it before any arcing occurred. And the device I was using was not using high wattage charging. It was mostly a data cable.
As for kids in VR being toxic. I am pretty quick to use the "block" and/or "mute" feature so i don't have to deal with them. What i like is what Recroom is doing to foster helpfulness encouraging and kindness towards fellow players.. they often run daily challenges which include "cheer"ing a fellow player in recroom. This kind of reminds me of some of the principles taught in the scouts.
Very good points in this video. I know one of the biggest killers of the CV1 was actually sweat. Highly corrosive salt water and electrics don’t mix. I always recommend wearing a sweat band to reduce evaporation inside the headset. Especially if your doing things like exercise games or dancing in VRchat.
I’m one of the charger port melting victims. 100% on their charging block and cable. Back and forth with oculus took 85 days to replace. It started with the charging block and cable being sent in. Which was fused to the headset. Lol. So it was hard to dispute if it was their charging block or not. But…..80+ days to replace my unit sucked.
Yeah that sounds fucking awful
Mime still not fixed
What was the storage 256, 64?
One thing that's worth mentioning with Oculus charging ports melting is that the outlet which the device is being plugged into could be one meant for a different device. Most people are unaware that many of these devices have a combination of voltage and current to charge a connected device at maximum speed that may not be rated for usage with the Oculus. Everything may seem normal at the beginning but as you mentioned you could soon run into a fire/safety hazard.
Gorilla tag is the community that just makes me terrified for future generations, specifically about the whole toxic underaged children bit
It's 60% children and it's so unfortunate. Its such a fun game. U get good lobbies sometimes tho
Yep, I think Gorilla Tag attracts the most toxic people because they like "haha funny monke"
Bro it puts a bad name on me I’m 14 and I sound like I’m 12
well most of these kids will also mature given that most kids that play gorilla tag haven't actually hit puberty yet but yes its scary being a 15 year old in this world and being categorized with these types of people
A reminder that we get the same toxic people in social media, and we get flak for calling those out.
Playing Overwatch since Fall of 2017 I can tell you the problem of toxicity is just a daily fact of life. You will be told the worst things ever over nothing.

I agree. The most toxic and rude monsters in VR are kids under 10. I'm shocked a the mouth this kids have!

I bought Pavlov but I was instantly put off by the amount of screaming children in it, now I mostly play offline deathmatch, VRChat is orders of magnitude worse, I'm sure someone got their hearing damaged by squeaking children.
Easy accessibility to vr means more people will be able to try it, but at the same time it means that more and more children will use it without their parents' supervision.
Pavlov on PC is so much better. I switched from Rift to Q2 and kinda regretted it simply because i loved pavlov, but on Q2 its just FILLED with children and its not as funny or chill as the PC version.
The cheaper and more popular VR gets, the more kids will be gifted a VR headset
I actually had a super hot charger incident yesterday, I had left my quest on standby (I usually power down) and after about an hour I realized the light was red, unplugged the headset and the charger and area around the port were super hot to where I couldn't touch it for long.
I seriously wonder as to the technical details for why this happens. It seems to happen quite a bit and with the original charger. I also usually only charge mine while off but I have been able to start charging it through the headstraps port and that seems to have removed the heat issue.
I definitely agree with the children in vr! I hear a bunch of them just yell inappropriate things in there which is annoying and it’s weird that I get more and more of them day by day. It is now rare that I see 13+ people on the quest. I want to specify that i am referring to the game echo vr

You know what hurts motor skills? Not taking time to play with you kids. Seated video games hurt motor skills too. I play with my son in rec room ( mostly private rooms). His motor skills are fine. Because I take time to be a dad and take him outside vas well.
That's good I'm sure if kids are playing VR all day that that is bad but it is good to hear that he goes outside
@@billy3114 vr is no t bad for motor skills at all. if a kid is standing up, moving around, playing beat saber, racket nx, robo recal, etc for hours, thats going to be just as good if not better than going outside and playing. the thrillseeker video was total nonsense. the study he referenced was absolutely nothing to do with childrens development being harmed by vr, the study merely discovered that very young children dont have the developed motor skills to be as good as adult as aiming/steering with their entire upper body. with the study concluding that such control methods wouldnt be a good idea for childrens game because they arent as inherently as good at it as adults. thats it. NOTHING to do with damaging childrens development at all.
Wow that is very informative thanks
Gonna do a vid on app lab purchases releasing? Very Pog for gorilla tag
As a kid, yes I really hate the children in VR. A lot of them are so much for no reason at all. (And I can confidently say I have to be at least 3 years older than them.) So on top of the study that shows that 10 and under are messing up their balance playing VR, they are also ruining the fun of most online games.
I can agree with this. I'm 15 myself and I hate that many kids who's parents let them do whatever they want ruin the fun in games and also ruins the fun for kids who actually play right and act civilized. There should definitely be a reporting system that if there is so many reports they will be suspended and put into lobbies with other people who have also gotten reports for such reasons.
Been using a Quick Charge Powerbank to have my Q2 maintain charge while in use for the past 6 months, now. No issues.
I think the melted sockets are from crappy cables, or people jarring the plug.
The cable shoukd be a right angle cable to eliminate the moment arm and damage potential.
I remember the first time I tried rec room I was playing paintball and had a kid I would say 5-6 years old running around screaming the n word if you were to kill him or if he would kill you.
I dislike that badly behaved kids also ruin the fun for well behaved ones due to immature or plain rude older people.
I was in a public lobby where an older teen bullied a kid out of a game lobby in VRchat just for being a kid. As far as I know he wasnt misbehaving so the older guy was just being plain rude! Sadly I can imagine many people without patience also categorizing every kid as bad without giving them a chance first, possible giving the good ones reason to act bad or at least ruining their day which is sad to imagine.
It makes sense tho I’m 14 years old and a kid and if all I heard was screaming children all the time I would just start to expect all of them are similar like that
@@stinkytoes5374 Yeeah when the majority are acting this way I do imagine it makes it easy to assume the most will
Regarding Quest 2 batteries, since I live in Egypt with a relatively hot & humid weather, I did notice a performance issue when using AirLink while my power bank is hooked to the HMD, however, that did stopped recently and am not sure wither it was due to weather getting cooler or a recent update?!

I was a little Devil as a kid and many of my friends where no better but the stuff I hear kids say in VR is unreal. Clearly the parents of said child is to blame but even when I was a kid being my bad self I still had some basic morals. The kids I hear have zero respect for any one. I once walked in on a bunch of kids laughing about how they where going to make another kid kill him self. This poor kid was crying so hard so I asked what was wrong and he said his mother passed away. Are kids today this soilless?
Yea vr headsets look silly but thanks to them I get to hang out with friends on the other side of the planet and I also actually use it for college work. I use gravity sketch for bringing initial sketches and designs into 3d and even storyboard with it. They are clunky and awkward but also really damn handy.
Lighter AR tech is getting close to consumer level for that sort of thing. I'm really looking forward to it, even if I know its going to be janky for a long time.
That's cool
I love these news videos so much, it's so chill keep it that way
Great video as usual. I have a 12, 15, and 17 year old, they all play VR with me. My youngest seems to handle it fine, and we play Powerbeats VR together as an exercise regimen. I've no desire to own Metal of Honor in VR thankfully, as I have the 64 GB model. I have a ton of games and have only used a little over half the space on it. To find a game that would pretty much take the entire system up kind of annoys me. Ultimately I love my Quest 2 and my Two Quest 1's and I can't think of any other VR that would provide half as much enjoyment as I get out of these headsets.
I have an old Facebook account which I used for years with no problems, but it does not have my actual name. I don't know if I should change it or leave it the way it is cause I don't want to be banned from either way.
I'm 13 and I use VR, and it is disappointing to see what some other kids do in VR. I mostly don't even use voice chat, it's just too depressing. It's sad that a small minority of people are ruining VR for a larger group. One thing I have found to be useful, at least in Echo VR, is joining one of the other lobbies, not the playground one, as these are moderated a bit so it helps. Also games such as hyperdash now have lobbies for higher level players, and I'm yet to encounter any rude young kids in these ones.
On another note, I have a 64gb quest 2 and It's really annoying bigger games aren't going to fit on it (at least, not more than 1)
Hanging out in VRChat and getting harassed by 8 year olds is just sad days you know?
Me and the boys just trying to play some putt putt.
Idk, my philosophy may be toxic in it of itself, but I do not think kids should interact with technology until they are in their teens.
Of course within reason.
But comparing my childhood to my younger sibling's is just... Such a stark difference, while my sister and I played around in the garden, planted potatoes, dug holes, built stuff with tools and had storytimes
my younger brother (by 9 years) has only really experienced screaming at his friends over discord or smacking away at an ipad.
Idk... I just think irl interaction in the most crucial years for human development is more important than cool tech.
I had a friend that had his quest 2 catch on fire. The bottom front part where the front part and the bottom part meet is melted. He had it on his head when it did luckily he is ok and he got a replacement from oculus but yeah. He sent me a picture of it where the plastic melted
Was it due to overplaying/heating should i be worried about this
To be honest I don't know. It might be just a really rare thing. He just said he was playing it and it catch on fire. He contacted oculus and got a free replacement so it might just be a quality control problem or just over charging and over use
@@chrisw1914 Do you know how long he was playing? If it just caught fire randomly that cant be good.

They definitely need a age confirmation to log in to certain lobbies and the minium age of 13 is a joke these "teens" are just starting to go through puberty and their emotions are all over the walls, when you add VR to it I feel like it can get a little messy.

honestly, i avoid running into children in vr. they are usually toxic and loud. so i dont play free to play games too often
Hey man. I'm 13. I have social anxiety and don't talk to anyone at all. Just letting you know, not all children are like this. Personally, I get really annoyed at them, but I still understand that they are developing and maybe got a bit too comfortable. Come at me if you want, just letting you know.
If you calmly talk to them with respect I generally see their personality do a 180.
Though I usually try to avoid playing with kids because it just feels weird and creepy.
@@Giliver Actually me too. I prefer to play with people my age, and after long periods of time I might talk knowing what they are like. Never to little kids though.
Wassup Mysticle my guy I love your videos man your the truth keep doing what u do man!
Echo VR is one of my favorite games of all time... And is regularly being ruined by racist, toxic children. I'm very tempted to start reporting all of them. I hate reporting people, but maybe that's what needs to happen. These kids don't belong in VR, and especially not if they are spouting hate speech.
some kids don't belong in video games in general. i don't think it being vr changes that
@@MisterChief711 exactly
it's easy to report them. do it. wtf do you have to lose?
@@TheSprockee I'm not sure if they will know it is me reporting them... I reported someone on xbox years ago, and they reported me in return, along with getting a few of their friends to report me also. The end result was me getting my account banned for a week or so, and being on "probation" for a while despite not doing anything wrong. I've been hesitant to do it again ever since.
@@VintageandVoltage just do it, they cant see the reports
I demoed Rec room for my younger cousin. (Supervised of course) and as soon as he joined a lobby all that could be heard from the headset speakers was this kid screaming his fucking head off swearing at other people and just insulting them. Keep in mind this was a role play area. No need for that shit
Every multiplayer game should have a kick feature and if you get kicked too much get banned for at least a week
that looks good on paper but then those people will group up and start kicking everyone they see just to laugh
@@ItGoesMoo was thinking that. imagine you just get kicked from some random group of kids/teens. i would rather have mods/admins.
This one by far is my favorite video, such a great sense of humor.
I think it's also parenting. I think kids can be in VR, but under supervision for like an hour or two. Another reason is toxicity in public servers. I think if there was to be a minimum age, it would have to be 16 to be honest.
i feel like kids start to actually mature at 10-11, as thats when the parents may add some responsibility. but a litteral 8 year old should'nt be playing vr, running around in echo vr lobbies
I'm most worried about the eyesight of the children. Current VR technoledgy doesn't fully replicate the real world visuals. Human eyeballs can change their focal length to match the distance to objects, an abilty that is the stongest when very young(8 yrs old) and is almost lost at 60 years old. But every commercial VR right now has fixed focal length(around 2m), so when children are looking through the headset their eyes could be under high stress which could lead to nearsightedness or worse.
Yeah, my port is slowly melting.
RIP Quest 2 Port
2020-2021
(I have a quest 2 elite strap so I can still charge)
Well, my Quest 2 charge port melted. Meta doesn't seem particular concerned about this problem either, as it took them over a month and a half to even give me shipping labels. So, it certainly happens.
Damn
Getting a quest 2 in 3 month cant wait
getting a quest 2 on chrsitmass
@@vaclives oh no are table... its broken
@@vaclives same
for my quest 1 I always use the stock charger and cable.....don't leave it in the hot sun either (like a hot car) as that could also cause issue
guys please please please take care of your quests... a quest is for life not just for Christmas!! 😂 xx
Yeah, I was on VRChat found a kid who was probably 5-8 and was shown 18+ content even though those people knew there was a child in the world with them, I have a tendency to kind of watch how people act around children in VRChat for fun and to research. But the amount of times I have seen kids introduced to 18+ is not okay at all this is one of the main reasons I think kids shouldn't be in vr or at least not in online vr games.
Any device is delicate. If you ever watch Beast Wars, “It’s a valuable piece of equipment. Take care of it.” Anyone who has been in the military has heard many terms. Preventive maintenance, PM the radio… I use a magnetic connector on my Oculus Quest 2. I use it for connections, charging, and keeping foreign particles out of the charging port. I use a simple toothbrush to remove said particles. Charging the device while in use quickly heats up the battery. Always think of safety when using your Oculus. Clean and p.m. the device also…
"Headsets haven't been exploding on peoples faces,thankfully." Sao's Nervegear:"Hold my beer."
Copyed lmao
I'd love a squeaker filter. If your voice is above a certain octave then auto mute. Also a math test would be a great way to gate keep them. I'd pay more if they banned the children from VR
Not an automute but they sort of sid this in Echo VR with the voice modulation option, lmao
The charging thing worried me. But then you mentioned its caused by your charger getting hit while playing. Thats why i dont use it while its charging. I charge it till its good to go before playing. And before people say i shouldnt as overcharging is dangerous. I set a timer to go off before it fully charges
The problem is that people tend to think of VR as just a video game. But there is some sense in thinking of it as an actual reality. Like would you allow kids to walk around a red light district in your city? Or enter a pub/bar? Like in VR chat there are worlds where people like to hang out while drinking at home physically but with buddies in VR simultaneously. I was on VR Chat the other night and saw this group of people talking about their sex lives in a corner of some bar world. I think they were around 18-22 and it was like a frathouse convo pretty much and got pretty spicy (they were talking about what seemed to me like borderline date rape). A couple of 10 year olds started hanging out around them and they didn't stop (why would they? Setting aside the ethics of their topic they were in a virtual bar anyway which was clearly made for adults). Seeing the kids there made me really uncomfortable somehow.
I have used my 64gb Q2 with vr power 1, I'm ashamed to say that VR power 1 didnt last longer than 3 months before it started to show signs of quicker discharge and taking longer to charge because quite literally I was using this for about 5 hours every day, I was aware of a possible battery failure at one point though it hasnt happened yet and because of this video im getting my self a fresh new one as we speak xD im highly satisfied with it for balancing the headset and prolonging headset use, just not with its life span, im guessing because I was pretty aggresive with it.
Though if I ever went on cable or if I ran a cable to the port while in use, I always ran it between the left arm and the headset, I never used anything to secure outside of that arm. on cable I ran it between those two spots and gave it some lenght, if I ever pulled on it it would get wedged between those two spots, the same thing with the cable for the battery pack.
I dont have any knowledge on the headset, the only thing I would say that has failed me was the head of the L shaped C port connection, where it started to bend independently from the rubber body, I inspect my stuff before use and I felt that at some point if it bended and snapped off I would be left with live leads; eventually dangling next to my cheek, we all know how conductive liquid is with salt, if you are sweating a lot.
I think VR experiences (with a positive influence) could mean the world to a child coming from a negligent or even dangerous environment. It’s so confusing and lonely as a kid.
The problem is with how there brain develops motor skills tho right so wouldn't messing up a kids ability to move around in real life be worse for then then anything (unless you mean kids that are above the recommended age specifically in which case ignore me lol)
Sometimes when I turn on my quest 2 with the PC link cable or air link, it makes a super loud screeching noise that rapidly gets faster and is almost ear bleeding loud
Thanks dude this is some interesting stuff to know!
Yeah my quest 2 64GB is basically a paper weight now but wait now I only can play certain games I bought it 4 months before they announced the 128 gigIf I would've known there were the upgrade the same size for the same price I would've waited or I would've bought the bigger size if I wouldn't known the games would be that big
Same here
I really like your channel. You have a pleasant delivery style and your content is interesting and insightful.
I'm also in my 40s, listening to you complain about kids makes me chuckle...
sometimes when playing a game on my quest 2 i hear crackling noises but when i leave the game/ go to the game's menu, it stops the crackling noise
I feel like that could be the fan, since that is likely one of the most prominent moving pieces. It could be something more serious though, so definitely make sure to contact Oculus support about it and see if you can have the issue identified.
Hello. I have myopia and I want to buy Quest 2 . does VR has any side effects for my eyes? do you advice me to play with my medical glasses or without it? my medical glasses has some filter of anti blue light, is the anti blue light filter good for protect my eyes from VR?
If you go into the original android system settings in the meta quest 2 and disable the quick actions menu the whole universal menu disappears and you can't access it back unless if you factory reset it
he got the RUclips tick!!!! Congrats
Hello, what game are you playing in the background?
Great video, its helped me decide whether to get one of these, but I have to say I was really distracted by that life sized Danny Devito cut out on your desk
I was in a public vrchat lobby the other night and a kid who couldn't have been more than 8-9 was talking and singing some childrens song. The older kids started roasting him and calling him homophobic slurs and the little kid started crying and you could hear him sobbing over the mic. It was pretty sad and kind of made me realize how detrimental it can all be without proper moderation and parenting in place.
I have oculus quest 2, and suddenly when I on my VR to play I saw all of my apps gone, and when I enter the store it says “something went wrong” and I can’t search any games in the store
Great video with good info and viewpoints!
On Saturday, I had to get a new Quest 2 because my previous Quest 2 just randomly made an electrical arc noise and then started to overheat the external battery and the quest 2 both. Totally unexplainable because nothing else changed.
Same cable, same battery, and no hits that I know of to the cable / quest connector (regular cable / non-magnetic). Luckily I had a store-warranty so it only cost me the price of a new warranty (for the new Quest 2) to replace it. But it was scary because I knew I had 2 batteries on my head and I've seen enough videos of fires on rechargeable electronics to be frightened. Good video!
What’s the game that you’re playing in the background?
My quest 2 screamed at me about heat and something and the battery popped and slightly caught fire 🔥 would it still work without the battery and if not how to bypass the battery entirely?
Hi The Mystical! I noticed you read your comment section so I thought I might as well ask in case you or another person sees my question and answers it. I actually am interested in this magnetic charging device, but I couldn’t find the link in the description. Any help?
This is the one I personally have :) I like it because it's round and allows the cable to rotate so it disconnects less. Cool part is you can also find magnetic round right angle cables that just make it look super clean. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VXVS6ZH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_8ST7W7VPW30YD9YG6ASK
@@TheMysticle Thanks for the fast reply! I’m a massive fan btw!
Honestly it's unacceptable that something like Facebook doesn't have customer service.
what stuff do you have on your headset
to protect that port, just get a "magnet USB-C adapter 20 pin" and stick it to the quest with some 3M VHB double sided adhesive. that adapter support full data and power transfer rates, and it's super sleek.
6:44 Robo Recall with free locomotion? How? Where to download this mod?
Which headstrap with battery you use?
Wait, how do you charge it wrong? I just have the basic stuff, no additional accessories
