I've been using a Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop and a wifi 5 router with zero issues.  I love the freedom of being able to walk around my entire house and section off an area as a play space.. even my garage.  I'm not sure i could ever go back to a wired experience unless it was dedicated to a SIM rig of some sort.  I do have a Samsung Odyssey collecting dust that i could use for that but i haven't.  I feel like my only upgrade path is the Quest 3 until something better comes along.  I think I'll wait to see what Valve comes out with. I'd love to see a hybrid VR hmd / Handheld.. basically a Steam Deck that could strap on your face. It would have to be much lighter and probably ARM based. Pimax made one already i think

It does seem really cool though.

It is very, very difficult for me to be relaxed enough to enjoy VR.  Anything with humans or humanoids trying to kill me is 100% out of the question.  I can appreciate Resident Evil and Far Scape on a technical level, but cannibals eating me or Martian spiders ripping my face off are things I don’t need to experience again.  Astro Bot is great and I’ve nearly finished it.  Trevor Destroys the Universe is a little too much “pine cones up my butthole” humor but was interesting.  Another one I need to finish.

Quest 3 was a pretty big upgrade from Quest 2. I never really liked Quest 2, I understood what they were trying to do but the overall experience was not up to my satisfaction. Quest 3 works on almost every level. Look how cheap it is now on black friday for like $435 you can buy the quest 3 and all the necessary accessories.

GeForce RTX 3090.  Had to boot it up and look that up.  The only thing I use it for is browsing eBay and testing ROMs before I burn them.
