Would anyone be interested in doing this next year, considering we can't go back to the National Videogame Arcade? https://www.zlvr.co.uk/about-zl/ There's two zombie games, an engineering one and a sci-fi military game. It hasn't even opened yet, but I'm sure they'll have ironed out any bugs by March time. We could do the activity, have a meal somewhere and then go out for some drinks before coming back to ours for more gaming/music/VR fun. We could put up four people with a spare bed and sofabed, and there's lots of reasonable hotels nearby. What does everyone think? Massive props to Sal for finding this! I reckon it would be a lot of fun. |

Hmmm, though I've just noticed this in the FAQ page which could be a problem for some of our party: Quote: We are afraid glasses cannot be worn in our experience. We recommend that you wear contacts, as glasses can scratch and damage the headset lenses.
Our headsets have adjustment tabs under each lens so that players without contact lenses can adjust the focus of the headsets to compensate for approximately +1 to -3.8 diopters. |

And indeed the entire idea of contact lenses just sounds like the most batshit insane mentalness. But! I've been wearing them every single day for about 25 years and to me they're like some kind of wizardry. They take my genuinely useless eyeballs (something like -11 prescription which is close to legally blind; certainly I'll guarantee its a lot worse than anything most people have experienced) and turns them into 20:20 perfect wonderfulness. It's genuinely incredible. And! If they did all that while still making it obvious that I had bits of plastic in my eyes, I might still accept that deal. It turns out though that I don't even need to worry about that. Because for about 98% of my life I am literally unaware of them. Which makes no fucking sense! I have bits of plastic IN MY EYES! Why is that not miserable? Why!? No one knows! So, yeah, it's genuinely inexplicable. But I've had 20:20 vision for the last 20-odd years despite how utterly awful my actual bio eyes are. I'll take it. |

Clarification: I wasn't trying to disagree with Sat here or anything. Sticking bits of plastic in your eyes is a fucking weird thing to do; it totally just is. And anyone who thinks otherwise needs to look at their life very closely. |
