The mixed reality is actually legit really good; I played a free demo of a game that lets you summon creatures and to arm yourself with a bunch of swords, a rifle and a revolver (I think the swords each have a special ability as well). You can summon something as weak as a goblin (though with a shield), and I think it goes all the way up to a dragon, perhaps beyond that too; for context, the first creature was a straight up sword and shield goblin, the second a rogue type character that can throw a line of daggers at you from a distance, and the third was a straight up red giant who towers over you (also he's got like maybe four or five health bars), and those were three out of maybe ten or more enemies. The fight against those three enemies (I lost against the giant by the way) was actually good as a workout and I was tired by the end of it (then again I'm fat and out of shape).

The Q3 also has an air link feature that lets you stream your oculus games (which would have been designed originally for the Rift and Rift S) to your headset, and a steam link that does the same.

I bought some custom VR lens from a company called VR lens lab, and I'll hopefully have them in three weeks or less; they should allow me to use the Q3 without having to wear glasses, so that's awesome.

Honestly as much as I love VR, I think mixed reality is probably going to be my preferred game type as I can see the world around me so I know where I am at all times and where every piece of furniture or clutter is.

The headset isn't without its flaws though; it heats up uncomfortably, the battery life needs to be much longer, you can't use the air link or steam link feature I mentioned if you're on another network (so no activating your PC at home and trying to stream games from it at a friend's house; although apparently you can use virtual desktop to do that I think? Not sure how or if that truly works), they need to up the resolution of how the real world looks in the headset, the IPD despite my fiddling still isn't aligning properly for some reason, I could almost swear the FOV is smaller than the Rift S, the sides of the headset from within the headset are very visible making you feel like you're wearing goggles.

I tried finding some info on which games may offer the best workout and hilariously found a workout game called supernatural that actually has a subsciption model that's more expensive than a netflix subscription (the cheapest offer goes at $28 a month).

My room is badly cluttered, so unfortunately working out in my room is going to be somewhat unfun; I need to see what I can do about making space or playing somewhere else.
