It didn't occur to me until after our session that I'd started doing Cloud Strife's victory animation with my golf stick.

Sort your terminology out, everyone knows it is called a golf pole!

Out of interest, has anyone ever managed to purchase literally anything from the Meta store and have the transaction go through

Never had any payments go through on the headset. I've ways resorted to using the app on my tablet. Never wanted to retry stuff. I can just imagine buying the same game several times over.

It's exactly the same in the app as it is in the headset, at least partially because I think the transaction happens in the app anyway.

There was some pretty big news for VR last night; the UEVR injector from Praydog was released, for free. It's a mod that adds VR capabilities to every Unreal Engine 4 or 5 game, at the engine level. It's apparently running perfectly with Robocop, that Aliens multiplayer shooter, and the new System Shock remake and Ready or Not apparently run fairly well in it. It has the capability to add motion-controls along with the head movement too, although by the sounds of it this needs more effort. It's all open-source, and while it's not exactly plug and play for every title, there's a GUI and the expectation is that users will share their saved profiles for popular titles.

It's not something I'm planning on leaping straight into, I don't have the patience to tinker with this stuff, but I'll absolutely be paying attention to which titles work best with it.

As long as it looks better than the stuff that paid mod that injected into games.
Can't wait to check out the list of games to see what ones I have.

It works every time for me - bizarre.
