    The schedule is currently still tentative, so if anyone (particularly anyone hosting) has any strong feelings about moving things around then let me know.

    Here was my thinking:

    • Spooky Mansions for October, natch. (Though it was admittedly tougher to make this call because RE also got chosen).
    • Split up the FOUR(!) different Arcade Specials that got chosen.
    • Put the shortest game (Another World) in the shortest month (February).
    • Pick Sonic Adventure for December because it has a Christmas DLC.
    • Split up potentially repeating hosts (Apple and Chippy) so they're not booked back to back.

    CGA Announcement: Voting has concluded and we now have the new schedule for October 2026 - May 2027.

    There was an astounding FOUR-way tie for 5th, so we've selected the next 8 months of games to play instead of the usual 6!

    As always, people who nominated winnings games have first dibs on hosting those months.

    Also, The Grue That Binds was an Arcade Special that combined games from three different nominators:

    Feel free to fight amongst yourselves and determine a victor. Hosting will go to the first one that steps forward and wants to do it!

    If you want to host your month, let me know so I can officially add you to the schedule. If you do NOT wish to host your month, also let me know and I will open it up to others.

    Enjoy the remaining days of Tony Hawk and get yourself ready for

    Discussion Topics

    Each month will have two discussion topics:

    • "Insert Cartridge" - 1st of the month
    • "Remove Cartridge" - 28th of the month (25th for February)

    Insert Cartridge topics are primarily for getting the game set up and running. Remove Cartridge topics are primarily for reflecting on the game once you've played it. However, the game itself and anything else related to it can be discussed in either one.


    Hosting

    Each month, the discussion topics will be posted by a different "host" who will act as the emcee for that month.

    Hosting is not required, but it is encouraged that people host months for games that they are either already very familiar with or that they are strongly interested in playing.

    People who nominated a game will be given preference for hosting, otherwise it will be given to whomever claims it first.

    Check out old months to get a feel for what it's like.

    Required Hosting Responsibilities
    • Editing the templates for the month's "Insert Cartridge" and "Remove Cartridge" topics.
    • Posting the month's "Insert Cartridge" and "Remove cartridge topics.
    Optional Hosting Responsibilities
    • Talking up the game.
    • Giving tips/tricks/guides/cheats.
    • Sharing your own thoughts/memories/reflections.
    • Asking questions.
    • Anything else you feel like doing (e.g. setting up a multiplayer tournament, making game-related memes, sharing fun trivia, etc.)

    If you would like to host a month, let me know which one and I will add you to the schedule.

    Before your month begins, I will send you a "Hosting Package" featuring templates that you can edit to your liking.

    If no one claims a month, I will host it as a fallback.


    Voting Results

    The top 6 games from the voting round were chosen to be played.

    Of the remaining games:

    • The top 50% will advance to the next round. They will start the next round with a base score of 30% of their vote totals.
    • The bottom 50% will be removed from the list.

    Removed games will be able to be re-nominated in future rounds if someone chooses to do so.

    So, for roomscale games (games in which you can physically move around), it's easy to think that you'll be able to keep track of your physical location and intuitively know when you're getting near an IRL wall.

    This is WRONG. You WILL forget all about them!

    The good news is that you can set up a boundary for your playspace, and the headset will pop up a wireframe wall indicator in-game when you get close. Do not ignore this (or think that you don't need it in the first place). You WILL end up punching/faceplanting into a wall otherwise. Many a controller or even finger has been broken because people disregarded the need for a boundary.

    A perfect example:

    I'm a VR veteran, and just recently re-set up my VR space after having it down for a while. When I set it up, I set it up for Standing/Sitting gaming, meaning I didn't set up a boundary for my walls. No problem, right? I only planned on playing Synth Riders and Beat Saber which have you standing in one spot. I have plenty of space and shouldn't come near any real-life walls!

    Except that re-catching the VR bug had me curious about another game: Increment. I installed it and jumped right into it.

    Did I remember to set up the boundary? Absolutely not.

    Did I unintentionally attempt to put my hand through my IRL wall shortly after starting the game? Of course I did.

    Remember how I said you will forget about your actual walls? This was the perfect example, because when I did that, my first response wasn't "oh shit, I hit my wall" it was "what the fuck was that?" Because my brain was calibrated to the VR space I was in (in which there was plenty of open space), it genuinely had no idea what was happening for a moment. VR is that immersive. I'm lucky nothing broke, especially because I've got an Index. I could get new fingers if I needed to, but the Knuckles are irreplaceable. /vrjoke

    Anyway, in addition to the software boundary, you can also do things to your physical space to help you with understanding your orientation in the real-world while you're in the headset.

    Consider getting a rug that’s slightly smaller than your play space so that there’s a margin near the edges. It’s an easy way for your feet to feel when they're near the limits of where you’re supposed to be.

    You can also point a fan at your playspace while you're in it. This is especially good if you've got an irregularly-shaped area. The direction and intensity of the airflow can help you establish your real-world location by feel. Also, if you're doing VR exercise, it's great for cooling you off!

    (Note: I have both a rug and a fan and still tried to haymaker my wall, so don't rely solely on these.)

    I also like a bit of a gap at the bottom of my headset near my nose. This means I can peek down to see my approximate IRL location without having to take the headset fully off. It's also convenient for checking my watch.

    While it's important to secure yourself in your VR space, it's also important to do so for other people/critters too. If you've got pets or children who might wander up to you while you're playing, come up with something that prevents them from getting hit or stepped on.

    Similar to the "I'll know where I am" fallacy, there's also the "someone will be able to move out of the way" fallacy of VR. People outside the headset have no idea what you're seeing, which means your movements are completely unpredictable to them. If someone is in your space, the chances of a successful dodge are very low, while the chances of a successful hit are very high.

    The easiest way to keep yourself and others safe is to make sure that your space is and remains clear for whenever you're in the headset.

    Congrats! I’m super excited for you and everyone else who got lucky.

    Other people have covered the straps (and I agree, you should get them). So here are my thoughts on the other accessories you asked about:

    A replacement face gasket is nice if you’re planning to sweat in your headset (and it sounds like you are!). My exercise one gets soaked every session, but whenever I have friends over and they’re going to be in the headset (playing, say, Taskmaster), I swap it out with a separate clean one.

    As for a light blocker, some people like the isolation it gives, but personally, I prefer having the gap at my nose. I can check my watch for the time, notifications, and my heart rate all without taking off the headset. Also, I like being able to peek down and get an idea of my orientation in the real world.

    No idea if the head cushion is necessary, but comfort is comfort!

    So, none of those are essential but an alternate gasket is great if you’re planning on sharing the headset with anyone else.

    I do expect a lot of third party offerings of these same items to pop up soon, so you might be able to save some money by waiting those out.

    Alright, today I went back into Beat Saber.

    This game is like a night at the club for introverts. Do you love the idea of flailing around to EDM, but you don't like crowds, hate going out, and are too uncoordinated or self-conscious to bop around in public? Beat Saber is for you.

    My warmup song didn't get the telltale smile from me, but that's because it's "Bad Liar" by Imagine Dragons (don't clown on me -- the crossbody swings in the chorus are a great dynamic stretch). It's a slower tempo, more serious -- not exactly the joy-producing type of bop I usually enjoy, but great for starting out and getting my body ready for the absolutely ridiculous flailing it's about to be doing.

    The following song was "Full Charge" by PIXL. I don't know how to explain this without sounding unhinged, but the song is a comedy. I genuinely find it innately funny. My headcanon for the song is that the goose from Untitled Goose Game downloaded a copy of Reason, started messing around, and found out that they were actually pretty good with it. I promise I am not making this up as a bit, and I genuinely cannot justify this explanation in any way other than to say that the song has goose energy for me.

    Suffice it to say, that one got the grin going. It's fun to go full goose and flap around on beat to an audience of no one. That song was followed by many other songs which were less goose-forward but still kept the throughline of aggressive flapping. The game is a genuine blast, and it's noteworthy that I feel this way even after having played hundreds (possibly thousands?) of hours of it.

    You know how some people buy an entire console just to play CoD or FIFA? Rhythm games are like that for me for VR. I'll occasionally dabble in others, but those are the ones I always come back to and that get the vast bulk of my playtime.

    This isn't to say that VR rhythm games are for everyone. They're very much a niche within a niche, and I'm saying this not because I think everyone's going to get the joy from these games that I do (I don't think many will). Instead, I'm speaking to that thin slice of people for whom rhythm games spark something inside and who haven't yet gotten into VR. If you grew up playing DDR at the mall, or if Guitar Hero was your jam, or if you even know what osu! is, then VR might be worth a look.

    I don't recommend running out and buying a Frame, as it will be a very expensive paperweight if you don't end up liking it. But, if you're able, visit a friend or borrow a headset and try Beat Saber out (they will almost certainly have it -- it's the Super Mario 64 of VR headsets). See if that "click" happens for you. If it does, then dropping the megabucks for something like a Frame could be worth it.

    2023 Bolt EUV owner here, @sparksbet. I love it. The photos make it look like a full-size SUV but it’s really not that big. It’s more like a tall car.

    I adore mine. If you have any questions about it, let me know, but I do think the Bolt line ticks most, if not all, of your boxes. I would recommend getting a newer model over an older one (they switched plugs and battery chemistry when they revived the line).

    Also, I don’t know if it’s still on offer, but they used to pay for the home install of the Level 2 charger when you bought a new one. That’s how I got the plug in my garage. It was nice that it was included in the price of the car rather than a separate expense.

    This announcement got me to set my Index back up.

    We had some housework done earlier this year in which I had to take down my base stations and use my VR space for storage, and I never got around to getting it back up and running until now. The lighthouses are up, the clutter is cleared, and the space is reconfigured and ready for play.

    I seem to have this like, VR amnesia where I forget how much fun I have playing it if I take a break for a while. After setting everything back up, I booted up Synth Riders and played my usual warm up song ("New Game" by Nitro Fun). If I were playing on a Quest 3, Meta would have had full scans of the absolutely gigantic grin I had on my face as I once again remembered just how fun it is to move and groove to a high energy bop.

    It's rare that I feel genuine joy when playing a video game, but VR rhythm games do that for me.

    I played for 45 minutes and fully intended to keep going a lot longer, but my session was cut short by one of my controllers dying (I didn't think to charge them while I was getting everything set up). Nevertheless, I've once again caught the VR bug, because my amnesia had me forgetting just how. much. fun. I have in the headset. I'm excited to play more this week, this weekend, next week, and so on.

    It was also a nice reminder that I genuinely do NOT need a Frame right now, but it did make me excited for all the people who are considering getting one (especially if they're first-time VR players), because I want them to feel that joy too. There's genuine delight to be had in putting your full body into a game.

    When I first got my Index I had two base stations. The tracking worked great unless one/both of them was occluded, at which point there were noticeable issues. I ended up buying an extra one and setting them up in a triangle around me, with the idea that if I'm body blocking one of them, then the other two can make up for it.

    It works really well in the center of the play area (where they're all pointed) but can get worse near the edges, as I can easily block one/two while going underneath the coverage area of another, dropping me down to one or zero active stations.

    I love the hybrid idea. Being able to improve my tracking on the Index simply by adding a base station was really cool (and I could keep doing it if I really wanted to -- 4 or 5 base stations would be unstoppable!). It would be great if the Frame could take advantage of that as well and use base stations to supplement for when inside-out tracking isn't the greatest.

    That said, inside-out tracking is definitely the future, because having to have base stations set up is a non-starter for a lot of people. It means your VR usage is locked to a specific area, and running power to them can be difficult. Add to this the fact that they look like cameras and anyone who's not familiar with VR setups can get suspicious around them (understandably so).

    I downloaded the StarDict version of this dictionary. It looks like it's behind a paywall, but that's only for translation dictionaries -- single language ones are free.

    My husband is also a Chao Garden aficionado such that he’ll play the Sonic Adventure games not because he likes the speed or platforming but because he likes raising chaos so much. As in, he thinks the actual levels of the game are obstacles to overcome so that he can get back to tending to his little creatures.

    There have been a couple recent indie devs who’ve announced chao-likes, but the only one that’s actually released (that I know of) is Bobo Bay. Neither he nor I have played it, but it seems to have gotten a good reception. Might we worth looking into if you’re hankering for a new chao experience.
