    Hopefully, someone is sitting on a root workaround, and will reveal it once the updates stop.

    I’d buy a second hand one, if there was a way to use it without any meta involvement.

      I’m expecting it, tbh

      I have a quest 2 and it’s actually a FANTASTIC headset, but I want to rip the meta shit out

      Not even because they’re a gross company (tho they are), I use a burner account with burner info and play in a gray room through a router specifically for my VR (almost completely lag free wireless this way, it works) but because I HATE that they made you have arms in an update and didn’t let us turn it off. They’re horrid

        Yes, because of John Fifth-Dimensional-Being-Pretending-to-be-a-Human Carmack.

          I wish they gave me a firearm

          But no, it’s a garbage implementation of giving you a digital avatar that displays arms in a first person view by guessing where they must be based off of controller position.

          It clearly doesn’t use the cams on the device cuz they’re bad

        What? I’m guessing they made it so your arms show up in-game somehow???

          Not in games, but in the main hub menu of the device

          It tries to guess where your arms are based on controller position

          It’s c r a p
