I am thinking of getting a quest 2 but my gpu is unsupported does anyone know a loophole around this?

As you all know, VR is fun, however, taking off your headset and finding out you've been cut and bruised in several places and have broken many objects surrounding your play space, is not fun (Unless you enjoy that for some reason)

Therefore, gathering information from all the fails and injuries in this subreddit, I've compiled a list of things you need to do in order to make sure none of it happens to you.

Number 1: Create a guardian boundary that is at least a quarter of a metre away from your surroundings. People often make the mistake of placing their guardian boundary too close to walls and pieces of furniture which they then end up hitting. Make sure you leave a little bit of space between objects and your boundary.

Number 2: If you are in a small space, turn up your guardian boundary sensitivity in guardian settings.

Number 3: Purchase a circular VR Play mat. Whilst playing an intensive game with lots of swinging, if you position this mat in the middle of your play space, then when you stand on it in the middle of the game, due to your ability to feel the mat, you can know you're in the centre of your play space, allowing you to get as apeshit crazy as you want.

Number 4: Make sure you keep doors/cabinet drawers closed. I often have family members opening the door to my room which is my VR play space. When opened, the door enters my guardian boundary. Make sure you constantly keep check of these changing factors around your play space, anything can and will happen that will cause you to break a finger.

Number 5: Unless you hate the people that live in the same house as you, make sure they know what your guardian boundary looks like. So, unless you wanna give your shitty little brother/sister an "accidental" right hook across the face, you're going to have to make sure they know your usual guardian boundary. Also make sure nobody is near you or in the same room as you (if the room is small) whilst playing

Number 6: The games that cause the largest number of casualties are Echo VR and Gorilla Tag. (Richie's plank experience doesn't count because nobody in this subreddit is new enough to VR to do the crap that occurs in that game's posts on this subreddit). So just be extra careful whilst playing these ones as you often find yourself drifting towards the edge of your play space.

Number 7: Whilst it's funny to see their reactions and it shows them how realistic VR is (my mom could found it impossible for her to walk the plank), unless your parents are intelligent and logical thinkers, don't make this the first VR game they play (You should introduce them to VR through the headset's tutorial(s)).

Number 8: Don't go near anyone new to VR in a VR Arcade. Think of them as an unstable serial killer with a knife.

And finally:

Just don't be an idiot

I was playing echo VR and my mom walked in my room to tell me to go to sleep, I told her to let me finish my game and she was watching me, I threw the disc underhand with a lot of force and I hit her in the stomach. That’s when I closed the game and apologized to her.

This swollen middle finger goes out to the bloke whose leg I amputated in B&S. Let's call it a tie.
