...my parents are still dead

>>4482464

You can have replicas of them in VR

>>4482469
Sounds good

>>4482463
Can it recreate 3 friends playing goldeneye with me

Can't smell it

>>4482480

http://www.emuvr.net/

They're adding multiplayer/netplay so yes you can recreate those golden memories of ye olde.

>>4482463
but you are a old hairy man still

>>4482485

Smells will be available with full-immersion vr which should be a thing within the next decade or so

>>4482463
This better be ready when I die. While in hospice, I'd want one strapped to my eyes, as it is the proper way to go because all I see is shit now.

>>4482485
Just let out a few farts gramps

The novelty of this will ware out so fucking fast.

>>4482537

Never
I'll be inside this everyday for the rest of my life once it's released.

I'm gonna decorate the room to look like my bedroom from 2006.
Hopefully they include manga and books too I want to forget time ever moved on and go back to my life circa 2000 - 2006.

>>4482985
I have most of those games irl. I dont need to be more of a shut in than I already am.

>>4482990
>>4482985
What time to be alive.
You can stay in your room in your computer in your room 24/7 now instead of just being in your room.
Really makes you think.

>>4483009
This. It boggles my mind.

>>4483009
>>4483016
I've been wanting that from VR for ages.

>>4483009
This is probably meant for people who don't/can't have a room like that or like most /vr/ collectors would have, but do own a VR headset and just want to "experience" or "relive" that for "free".
Also, if they do have netplay while "being" in the same room, shit's gonna be nuts, you could do this: >>4482480.

It's like complaining about VR flying simulators on an aircraft pilot enthusiasts chinese forum where everyone and their friends own jets.

>>4482463
They will get their ass C&D'd in record time, by virtually every game company and console manufacturer.

>>4482927

>that whole second paragraph

Why would you want to go back to the 00's?

>>4482485
>he doesn't keep jars of air from the 90's for just such an occasion

New Retro Arcade Neo does something similar, though within the context of an arcade rather than one's home.

>>4482463
Imagine the lag

>>4483016
If time is real, what came before the moment time began?

>>4482985
>>4482463
why not pay 100$ on a ps1, n64 and a few good games? Stop buying useless shit on steam and here you go you saved 100$

>>4483435
>saving money
For what? A residence in Heaven?

Is this open source? I want to add cartridge tilting support.

VR is shit. AR is the way to go.

Stick a google glass connected cam on your back in third person mode and make you your own character. Suddenly the input problems are totally gone.

>>4483059
Emulators are legal, the CEMU team has a fucking patreon

>>4482485
Yes you can.
I will fat you in your face just watch.

>>4483435
This thing doesn't emulate just PS1 and N64 with a few games though, but anything on Retroarch. That's what, 50 consoles?

>>4483947
>>4483646
>>4482985
>>4482463
new retro arcade neon honestly looks far better than this

>>4483063
it was a wonderful time before obongo

>>4482985
Spawning objects and having to select them via what seems like a menu completely takes me out of the immersion.

can this bring my parent back and get rid of the fibro

How long till this is a reality?

Sure but you could also go back further, to a time that wasn't the 00's.

>>4484047
Having them all scattered around the floor and bed with not a single case in sight reminds me of every time my siblings got hold of my stuff.

>>4482463
Will it let me recreate the experience of the sun just peaking through the curtains and casting gently onto the crt television on an early saturday morning? that warm smell of mummy cooking bacon and eggs and the smell drafting everywhere in the house? the sound of the morning news with the host talking about simple things from a much simpler time?

Why not just do this in real life? Unlike many fantasies, this one is actually obtainable.

>>4485317

Because virtual stays the way you want it to forever

>>4485320
As does a museum.

>>4485324

Physical objects deteriorate, people die or move on, homes aren't yours forever or perish from neglect, decades/eras disappear into the ether and moments come and go.
With VR you can pick a moment and place in time and live it out as long as you wish.

>>4484152
I was just thinking about that, fucker putting his virtual disk on his virtual bedspread. That shit will get virtual scratches!

>>4485326
true, but now with the extra pain of having to recognize that what you have is ultimately just a cheap imitation.

It's better to accept that all things will be gone one day, and to contemplate this during your day, but also to think hard on this, and realize that even without all of these things, you can still be happy.

Just enjoy what you have while you can, and know that it won't be the end of the world when you no longer have it. Acceptance of this is a healthier way to live than is sitting around with a fear of letting go.

>>4483009
Most of the people on /vr/ live in their parent's basements.

>>4485326
You now that VR gear its also a physical objet, don't you? It will also deteriorate, and digital media probably even faster.
We still have physical pyramids and roman temples from a thousand years, but we have lost forever a lot of recent digital media: old games, videos, etc because being unsupported formats or being accidentally deleted.

>>4485341
stoicism desu

>>4483052
>don't have space for your hobbies and collection
>but have enough space for a proper VR setup

Looks like Smash Bros Melee's collection room.

>>4485348
Bullshit!
We don't have a basement.

>>4483063
>implying the early 2000's weren't a magical time if you were American
