Well, Do you have Walkabout Mini Golf on the Quest 1? If you do, give it a go with us sometime. The multiplayer is going to work up to November of this year.

Or you could try it using link/airlink on your PC? Don't know what specs your current PC is, but Walkabout isn't hard to run. Neither is Rec room.
 
@Emo_hug Don't worry, we have a pretty good group here. Well, apart from SimonRigga, Unseul, ShiWarrior, Ravenger, JoeBoi and Mr.Cookie. But outside of those guys everyone else in the group is fun, friendly, intelligent, really nice and just all around amazing.

:p
You forgot to mention how much of a git Melmac is. Other than those named though, we're an OK bunch.

Emo, when you say PC upgrades required, what have you got at the moment? Can't imagine it takes much to drive a Q1?

dell sff optiplex 7010 (8+years old, windows 11 unsupported, with a 300w psu, 4 core i5 something, 16gb ram), no usb-c with sff nvidia 1650 4gb ram (doesnt beat a GTX 970 which is the minimum recomened on steam) and a lot of noise once it starts going from the gpu fan, i can only use it with steam streaming for games,. it was a top gap measure at the time then covid hit and a lot of uncertainty.
if i had a 1650 ti think it would have been ok, but that didnt fit the sff case :/

Does walkabout work on OQ1?
linkyfroxen version, possily works up to november, but after is questionable.

just to warn you i'm not playing with pretty boys ya oll have to be ugly, coz i dunna want to be the only ugly one there :D ;) :p

i dont have Walkabout Mini Golf twas released in 2020 and i wasnt using it during covid, then the facebook login requirements were mandatory and the quest was offline for a long while due to a certain amount of anger over the favebook requirements..
i'll have a play either pc wise or quest wise over the course of the weekend /week.
i did enjoy and playing "golf with your freinds" on "intel 610 grapics" just about works ok. which was a surprise i enjoyed it as didnt think it my sort of game.
Virtual Desktop i got some time ago but neve actually implemented it, might work that way :/

ive aquired a 2080ti with 8gb video ram for free so using that would reduce inital budge for a new rig in q1 2024 (current rig doenst really support it unless i do a janky set up and invest more money in to it to get pci riser cable and another psu dedicated to the gpu, at the moment its not really economical to me to throw more money at it.).
i basicly generally need an upgrade on my rig, its done me proud but now feeling its age like me.

20080ti is a very nice upgrade! Given you have that, I'd perhaps be looking at some of the cheap facebook 2nd hand builders. Pick up something with some OK internals, and just throw the 2080ti in after. Depends on what you're trying to achieve in the build though!

I don't think I've been described as pretty for a while...

I am the pretty one, I must be because Shi and Mr.Cookie have started stalking me and it isn't because of my winning personality.

Wouldn't fret it, back end of a bus has reversed into me several times, just don't let @melmac know he has a mild infatuation with me ;)

Ah crap, that ruins it. Since you started Stalking me I was kinda hoping that you were a lot more female than you sounded :(

My last hope is that Shi is a She!!

:p:cry:
 
Speaking of gaming and stalking, I am around today and tomorrow if anyone wants to play something. (apart from between 17:30 and 19:30, because then I will be watching Ireland beat England in the Rugby!! Hopefully :) )

I hope Ravenger has recovered from his illness.

Might explain why Shi won't talk in Rec Room, her voice modulator doesn't work in it!

So now we know another secret, we know Rigga is actually chatgpt, Cookie is secretly Chilli the dog, and Shi is actually a woman.
 
I probably can't make tonight, depends on how late the family do finishes and whether I can leave early anyway.

Bloody inconsiderate holding it during an England international game!

Might be able to hop on a bit late, can't expect it'll go on that much past 10pm.
