I'm up for tomorrow night

Ravenger · 21 Mar 2022 at 08:59

My PC is out of action, but my Quest 2 is still working. Thank goodness for stand-alone VR!

I should be available for tonight.

Unseul · 21 Mar 2022 at 09:06

I should be about. More than happy to keep golfing, if we have 6 or more then laser tag in rec room?

Front memory slot is broken - if I put a stick in that slot the machine won't boot. It's been dodgy for a while, and re-seating the memory normally fixed it but now it's not working at all.

Trouble is the slot closest to the CPU is blocked by my huge air cooler, so I have to use that front slot.

So far it looks like there's 5 of us, so walkabout?

ShiWarrior · 21 Mar 2022 at 18:48

yeah i dont mind

random Hard ?

Wasn't expecting to be able to make it tonight but now looks as though I may be available. Does that mess it up for mini golf? Unless we split into two teams?

We can either split to 2 groups of 3, or go for rec room and do laser tag? I'm happy with either.

ShiWarrior · 21 Mar 2022 at 19:27

laser tag is upto 8 players

ShiWarrior · 21 Mar 2022 at 19:31

What would I need to download to use Rec Room? Is it big?

ShiWarrior · 21 Mar 2022 at 19:38

not too bad, you can download it on your quest 2 or recroom website

I've got the 64 Gb version of the Quest 2 and I think it's pretty much full, so will need to check!

ShiWarrior · 21 Mar 2022 at 19:42

can you use your PC?

Can't use my PC for gaming - can only have one memory stick in, which is only 8gb and single channel. I think it's the memory actually, as one of the sticks now doesn't work in any slot.
