Thank you very much for this lucid and comprehensive communication, ElegantAlmond12. It is much appreciated and I will certainly consider its main points. A higher-spec computer would indeed seem to be a requisite for VR; I will look into overclocking and I just may go for that. Ditto for graphics cards, waiting might be advisable for a while as cards’ availability is still fluctuating.
I am not quite ready to embrace VR as things stand; I still have reservations but your thoughts on the subject are of great interest to me as an older simmer. Until recently, I owned two bicycles and I used them regularly. But, in the last year or so, I noticed I was not quite as steady on my feet as I used to, having seemingly lost some of my former natural balance. I can walk at a normal gait with ease but, if I have to walk slowly, walking with my wife, for instance, I do not feel quite as steady on my feet as I would like. I therefore deemed it safer to get rid of my bicycles and I sold them both, with much regret, last fall.
Your comments on motion sickness and disorientation invite careful scrutiny. Thank you. On a lighter note, I duly noted your cautionary remarks about would be close-proximity heirlooms in a VR environment and the inherent, probable danger to them.
