2023.03.22 16:43 Then_Marionberry_259 Exciting News From IRROC - Save Canadian Mining (SCM)
| https://preview.redd.it/9d25zrr99bpa1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=642164313eb3d4ea918e36fa92f625b87b6c2f65 https://preview.redd.it/5iv49sma9bpa1.png?width=1047&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4518a9e49023635d20f8930a6a388dae79f2ed7 Save Canadian Mining (SCM) is pleased to submit these comments to the CSA for review. While SCM will issue specific responses to the request for comment on short selling, we will also be submitting an opening statement. Our objective in this is to make it clear that as a volunteer organization, funded by members with no permanent staff, it is difficult for us to provide datasets to support some of our positions. This does not make our assertions any less true. If anything it highlights the need for new research that is not provided by IIROC or the CSA, but which could be obtained from them by credible third party research organizations skilled in this collection. This research group should be guided in equal parts by the official regulatory bodies and industry, along with community representatives. In this way we could, as a group, present a transparent view of the shorting world that is not currently available. Our view at Save Canadian Mining is that our capital markets have two core functions - around which everything else must revolve and support. - The Capital markets exist to provide investors of all stripes equal and fair access to avariety of accurately portrayed investment opportunities.
- The Capital markets exist to provide Companies of all stripes equal and fair access to communicate their investment opportunities to a variety of investors.
All other actions, activities, or regulations should be looked at in the context of how they improve either or both of those market functions. We believe these core functions have suffered in a desire to make exchanges profitable - or to allow hedge funds and investment banks to thrive at the expense of the investors and companies capital markets are meant to serve. Save Canadian Mining was built on a desire to make capital markets fair to investors and issuers. We don’t believe they are fair now. The longer this process is allowed to go on - the more discouraged investors and companies get. I will provide you with one example to illustrate the problem. I will request via our Save Canadian Mining Platform that other examples be submitted by issuers, and we will publish these credible reports as they come to our attention. Attached, on six consecutive days of trading in February, are downtick closes in Power Nickel stock. I am the CEO of Power Nickel. The stock was closed 6 days in a row by the same broker at 15:59:59. Five of the six were a downtick. There have been many similar closes in our stock by the same broker both before and after this date all at this time. I have complained to IIROC and they have listened to me and are investigating. I am not particularly hopeful they will act. They have informed me that while I did not have access to the data - in their view it was a different investor each time. I commented if they felt this was an uncoordinated action, and randomly six non coordinated investors all decided at 15:59:59 to sell our stock; that I had a bridge to sell them in Brooklyn. How is it even possible that one Company could close trading on the same stock six days in a row and probably over half the time overall? I am unaware of any way I could somehow trade with my broker and close the stock up six days in a row. If I did, I’m confident I would have a call from IIROC no doubt fining me and shutting me down. Not that it’s even possible for a normal investor to get the last trade six days in a row! I have given you one live example. We will deliver more as we intend to publish this to our Save Canadian Mining audience, and to ask our members to tell us their stories both as issuers and investors. There is no way this is normal behavior. Do I think you can prove collusion among the six investors? No. These short sellers are pack animals and literally the smartest guys in the room. They are smarter than me for sure, and smarter than the regulators. They make huge profits and can of course hire the best to figure out how to legally and, I suspect, illegally beat the system. They have compromised your systems. The downtick trading is one thing - spoofing volume on sell orders and wash trading is another. Again, I don’t have the staff, expertise or time as a Junior Miner to prove that to you. But if you listen to Power Nickel as a Company and our investors, and the many companies like Power Nickels out there and their investors - you will hear these same complaints over and over. The very requirements for proof via data we have no means to collect is all part of the gamesmanship of the short industry. They know how regulatory bodies work: slowly and deliberately with data. They know IIROC has the data. But as I have said, in my meetings with IIROC and in our submission to the Ontario taskforce - the data that is collected is not asking the right questions and obscures the true issues. The Wall Street Bets storylines has raised this issue in the USA, and very clearly has evidenced massive naked short selling and the creation of counterfeit shares. It is happening here in Canada. It’s happening to Power Nickel and many, many more companies. Our research shows that the TSXV metals and Mining index would almost have to triple to get back to normal vis a vis its traditional relationship with commodity prices. This destruction in value means our investors - whether individual or institutional - are not making fair returns. It means companies are not growing as Capital access is reduced and capital cost increased. It means we employ fewer people. For mining that means fewer first nations in our workforce, as we are among the highest employers of first nations staff. I could go on, but surely the point is made or there would be no further benefit from belaboring it. We ask for the following. - We want the CSA to fund an independent research group review of short selling. We want equal representation from knowledgeable individual investors, mutual and pension funds, companies small medium and large and the CSA. We would have IIROC provide the selected research firm untethered access to the data and collection processes so that we can truly have a transparent look at the system and how it functions.
- In connection with #1 above - we request a formal review of the so-called Tick Test regulations. As noted in our submission it is long past the time to measure how positive or negative removing this safeguard has been.
- The Ontario TaskForce made several suggestions with respect to trade settlement. At a minimum these should be made law. Digital IOU’s are not DRS’s. We need to settle trades on a timely basis and understand the true short positions on stocks. The current processes do not accurately reflect reality.
We know your jobs are not easy. We also believe you are trying to do your best. We also recognize that change is difficult for you. But for the good of the capital markets you need to listen to the investors and issuers who are harmed by the current short selling dynamic. The system has some flaws. The shorts and their ecosystem have figured out how to play you - and they sure as hell have figured out how to play issuers and individual traders. We need to focus on why capital markets were created and get back to first principles. Our Responses To Questions Raised In Joint CSA and IIROC Staff Notice 23-329 - Short Selling in Canada - We believe that the existing regulatory regime around pre-borrowing in certain circumstances should be strengthened. Specifically, we believe that "pre-borrow" requirements similar to those in the U.S. should be implemented in Canada. This would require broker-dealers to have pre-borrowed or made reasonable efforts to locate securities before executing a short sale. We believe that this requirement would help prevent abusive naked short selling and reduce the risk of market manipulation.
- The costs and benefits of implementing such requirements should be carefully considered. While there may be some costs associated with implementing and enforcing these requirements, such as increased compliance costs for broker-dealers, we believe that the benefits of preventing market manipulation and protecting investors and companies outweigh these costs. Moreover, data from the U.S. suggests that pre-borrowing requirements can be effective in reducing the incidence of failed trades and naked short selling.
- The current definition of a failed trade does not appropriately describe a failed trade. We believe that a failed trade should be defined as any short sale that fails to deliver securities within a reasonable timeframe. This definition should take into account the various strategies, including overlapping trades, employed by predatory short sellers to circumvent locate rules and delay final settlement of naked short trades.
- We believe that a timeline shorter than ten days following the expected settlement date should be considered. In my view, a shorter timeline, such as five days, would be more appropriate. This would help prevent market manipulation and ensure that investors are not harmed by excessive delays in the settlement process. Data from the U.S. suggests that shorter settlement periods can be effective in reducing the incidence of failed trades.
- Additional public transparency requirements of short selling activities or short positions should be considered. Specifically, we believe that short sellers should be required to publicly disclose their short positions on a regular basis. This would increase transparency in the market and help prevent market manipulation. Data from other jurisdictions suggests that public disclosure requirements can be effective in reducing the incidence of predatory short selling.
- Additional reporting requirements regarding short selling activities should also be considered. Specifically, we believe that broker-dealers should be required to report their short selling activities to the securities regulatory authorities on a regular basis. This would help regulators monitor short selling activities and detect any potential market manipulation. Data from other jurisdictions suggests that reporting requirements can be effective in reducing the incidence of failed trades and predatory short selling.
- Given IIROC's study of failed trades, we believe that specific reporting, transparency or other requirements should be considered for junior issuers. These companies are particularly vulnerable to market manipulation and predatory short selling, and therefore require additional protection. Specific reporting requirements, such as more frequent public disclosure of short positions, would be appropriate in our view.
- Mandatory close-out or buy-in requirements similar to those in the U.S. and the European Union would be beneficial for the Canadian capital markets. While there may be some costs associated with implementing these requirements, such as increased compliance costs for broker-dealers, we believe that the benefits of reducing the incidence of predatory short selling and protecting investors and companies outweigh these costs.

Lost interest in Cojiro during the long wait and joined other purple set group buys since. Only selling base and novelties together. Everything is still sealed.
GMK Pixel and Fuji spacebars I bought because they were colorful. I don't actually have any practical use for them. Still sealed.
No THOKS/RAMA's/Artisans have ever been mounted or otherwise handled other than taking these photos.
I forgot I had even ordered the deskmats -- they took over a year to arrive due to issues and delays. I used the blue one for a bit to see what it would look like and how it would fit. It's very nice but I do not need so many deskmats so I am letting go of these. Will wash before shipping out.
Looking for a sealed kit of the GMK Civilizations Brass Mods. Not buying outright, but am looking to trade for something(s) that I am selling. Paypal will be added on my end or yours depending on the item(s) desired.

2023.03.22 16:42 TheSmogmonsterZX Galactic Social Dynamic: Zoo-nanigans - Insect Kingdom out-takes (Zoo # 12)
Galactic Social Dynamic: Zoo-nanigans - Insect Kingdom out-takes (Zoo # 12) During the visit to the Insect exhibit in Zoo-nanigans # 11... "What is this?" Rillke stopped at the oversized statue of a butterfly.
"Butterfly." Shoal said. "They're pretty but that species is toxic."
"Yes." Emma smiled and looked at Shoal. "The Monarch butterfly has toxic dust on its wings to deter predators."
"But then, what are these things?" Rillke pointed to eight hanging forms.
Shoal rubbed his fingers together, trying to snap them like humans. It did not take and he simply stared at his hands in frustration.
"That's the caterpillar in its chrysalis." Emma explained. "They wrap themselves in silk and then kind of break down and rebuild themselves."
Rillke's jaw went slightly slack.
"And they're not the only ones." Van pointed to the far side of the opposite wall. "Moths do it too."
"No, moths use a cocoon." Emma corrected him. "See butterflies and moths have different end goals but similar life paths."
Gleve clapped, "Oh I know this one! Butterflies and moths both start as caterpillars and mostly eat plant life until they pupate into their chrysalis or cocoon. Butterflies come out and are pollinators. Moths come out and mostly seek mates to continue the cycle and some don't even have mouths!"
Emma nodded and gestured to Gleve.
"Both are terrifying." Rillke said as he stepped away from the statue and looked into a moth environment. "Why is the statue in the environment?"
"Atlas moth." Shoal yawned, "That's the actual animal."
Rillke cleared his throat and stepped away. "Something without wings, perhaps?"
"Good luck." Van grinned. "Though next is mantids."
"Mantids?" Rillke perked up, "I recall they live among flowering plants, yes?" He smiled.
Hadley grinned and pulled out their com. "I'm gonna record this."
Shoal gave a brief, annoyed snort.
"Some do." Emma nodded as she walked over to the large sets of terrariums. "This is an Orchid Mantis."
The group looked and Emma watched as Shoal's eyes went wide and he slowly backed away.
"Where?" Rillke asked.
"I hate these things, I always fall for the camouflage..." Van hissed.
"Pretty flowers anyway." Gleve smiled.
"Middle of the case it is staring at you all." Shoal said.
Gleve turned around to see his friend was not getting closer, so he turned back and focused. Then Gleve saw a set of compound eyes staring back at him. Gleve flinched and Rillke followed where his gaze had been and finally saw it.
"Devious!" Rillke nodded.
Emma laughed as pointed to another terrarium, "That is a green mantis environment."
Shoal went up first, looked in and turned around without a word.
Rillke was puzzled for a minute and walked up stared in horror and backed away.
Gleve was also curious but put his hands over his eyes as he peeked in. Then slowly backed away.
"They eat their mates?" Rillke gasped. "Please tell me that is
not a common Earth staple."
Emma grinned. "We could always find out."
Rillke froze, the two parts of his brain trying to process the flirting with the horror. Finally he just smiled and blushed a deep purple.
Shoal just shrugged and looked into the nearest one, then shook his head. "Are any of these not horrific in some manner?"
"It was eating the other one's head." Gleve whimpered.
Emma sighed, "Not really. Insects are very brutal. And the arachnids in the adjoining exhibit only get more so."
"Where the hell is it?" Van snorted as he continued to look for the orchid mantis.
"Van..." Emma sighed.
Van held up a finger. "Don't make me scan for you..."
"Can he really not see it?" Shoal asked, "Or is this a bit?"
Rillke leaned in. "I suspect he could easily find it with scanning, but refuses to do so."
"Found you! All six of you!" Van laughed.
"Six?" Rillker balked. "Emma, something less terrifying, please."
"Termites." Van pointed to a large mound in a larger enclosed environment. He continued to look in the terrarium as the others passed.
Shoal passed last. "Still can't see it?"
"No..." Van sighed. "I hate mantises." He shook his head and followed the group as Shoal climbed onto his shoulder.
"These are the things the aardvark goes after, right?" Shoal asked as he watched a camera feed from a tiny drone.
"Yes." Van nodded. "Termites are kind of like ants in that they're a colony species. But termites don't just dream big, they build big too."
"As long as they don't evolve to eat metal." Hadley said.
"Some did for a short time." Van said. "But went extinct and it was determined it was best to keep them that way."
Hadley looked horrified for a few seconds.
"He's right." Emma said. "During the mass extinctions of the 21st and 22nd century they briefly made mounds of metal and fiberglass."
"Absolute bastards to kill too." Van grumbled.
"They also spread so fast and so far they were deemed a hazard and when they died to what was basically a rust virus we decided it was best to keep it that way." Emma nodded. "They're still cute in an ugly sort of way though."
"I like their style. Gleve, markdown the crew for some videos on these guys " Shoal said with a smile.
"Of course." Gleve noted it on his com and slipped it back into a shoulder sash he wore.
"What about crickets?" Rillke pointed to a sign.
"No." Shoal said with a flat and certain tone.
"You're thinking of cicadas." Van said. "Crickets don't get that loud, often."
Shoal grumbled.
"Relax, we can go around to the ants." Van offered.
"If it gets too loud I'm blaming you Rillke." Shoal said as he crossed his arms and scrambled down to Gleve's shell once more.
"Fully understandable." Rillke nodded.
The group began to walk down and viewed several smaller displays. One had weevils that absolutely entranced Gleve.
"They are so funny looking!" Gleve clapped.
"They're normally considered pests." Hadley explained, "They're a beetle that tends to eat crops. Why aren't they with the other beetles?"
"We are in pest paradise?" Van pointed to a sign.
"And the mantids?" Rillke asked.
"Big predators of pests." Shoal countered.
"I want to see more beetles." Gleve said with a smile.
"As long as we avoid the Monkees." Hadley grinned.
Most of the group stared at the Intelligence in confusion.
"Hadley, only you and I likely got that joke, and I'm half considering leaving you buried with the termites for it." Van glared at the mischievous Intelligence.
Hadley nervously stepped away from the cyborg.
"They are on the way..." Emma kept an eye on Van and Hadley.
As the group passed into the next exhibit, they just as quickly exited as the loud and raucous noise of the crickets did end up panicking Shoal.
"Apologies, Shoal. I shall see to it that a volume label is put on that section for your people
and mine." Rillke bowed his head.
Emma winced, "That was abnormally loud."
"Twenty decibels over the average." Van said. "Something had them agitated..."
"Well hopefully it was just an unpleasant visitor before us." Gleve said. "Otherwise they might not get any more visits."
Emma nodded and went to her com. Then focused back on the group. "Next up is beetles."
The group came to a large area filled with small to medium terrariums and one gigantic one that was put under their feet and viewable from the top down.
Gleve immediately put his face to the ground and used his arms to help guide himself as he started to observe the insects.
Shoal watched from Gleve's shell before hopping down and observing himself.
"So many species..." Rillke observed in surprise.
"Almost half of all insects can be classified as beetles." Emma said.
"Closer to forty percent." Van corrected her with a shrug.
"What is this one?" Rillke pointed to one terrarium with a warning sticker on it
"Bombardier beetle. They secrete and heat an acid they launch at things that disturb them." Emma said as a light caustic smoke popped against the terrarium's barriers.
"Oh..." Rillke blinked. "Fascinating."
"Shiny..." Shoal said as he stood staring down at a beetle in the lowered exhibit.
"Rainbow beetle." Hadley said with a smile. "The most shiny."
"But this is the best." Van smiled as he stood at a terrarium. "The Ironclad Beetle."
"You would like those uncrushable bastards." Hadley sighed. "Though I suppose they are acceptably small and adorable."
"Keep it away." Emma said as she moved behind another terrarium.
"You're kidding me." Van snorted.
Shoal read its information plaque. "It's harmless."
"It's creepy!" Emma whined.
Van just stared.
"Don't judge me!" Emma shouted with a nervous laugh.
"I'm not." Rillke said. "I'm just confused."
"My dad took me to Mexico when I was a baby. I got covered in them and it freaked me out, okay?!"
Shoal nodded. "I get that."
Van nodded as well. "On to another beetle, like the Rhinoceros Beetle."
Emma nodded and looked around.
"Is it that one?" Gleve pointed to a large terrarium with a few large beetles jousting with each other.
"That's them." Van sighed.
"Territorial or mating?" Rillke asked.
"Both." Van said.
"Win the territory, win the ladies." Hadley said. "Or scare them off."
Shoal nodded as he heard a light but consistent sound. He turned to look and saw a sign.
"What's an apiary?" He asked.
"Bees are kept there." Van said. "Mostly for honey production. I think we have four species including the Japanese stingless bee here. They have a huge area in their environment plus a hive we started them in that produces honey that we sell."
"Won't they need it?" Gleve asked.
"Not in the amounts they make, because they have a perfect environment; they don't hibernate so they don't actually need to store up as much. But we always leave around twenty to forty kilograms when we harvest." Emma added.
Shoal nodded. "Can we see them after the ants?"
Emma nodded. "And we can see if any honey is for sale."
"What is honey?" Rillke asked.
"Me of course!" Emma laughed.
Rillke blinked.
Van shook his head.
"Besides a nickname for your partner, its regurgitated nectar produced and tended to by bees." Hadley smiled.
"Bee vomit?" Rillke almost turned greener than normal.
Van laughed and nodded. "Yeah we eat weird things."
"And you want to be called, essentially, bee vomit?" Rillke looked at Emma.
Emma laughed and shook her head. "You don't have to, I was joking."
Rillke nodded. "Very well.
Drasui."
Emma blushed.
Van chuckled, "What's that mean?"
Shoal chuckled. "No real translation."
Gleve nodded. "The best way to understand it is..."
"Gleve!" Emma hissed, a slight tinge of her German accent filled her voice.
"Leave it be Gleve." Shoal smirked and looked down the hall. "I see ants!"

The status is on sale, but i've had my eye on the Siskiu T8 for the same price. Should i just go for the specialized status instead?
I'm a new-ish mountain biker looking for a decent all-rounder that will mostly be used on technical new england trails, with occasional trips to a bike park. Current bike is a.... barely functional 90's hardtail.

2023.03.22 16:41 SlowShoes There are no games to play! (January-March Edition 2023)
https://www.rufftalkvr.com/blog/there-are-no-games-to-play-january-march-2023-edition/ When I read posts about how there are no games to play on the Quest, I simply can’t relate. I’m a voracious consumer of VR games, experiences and demos and currently have over 330 of them on my headset (not including my PCVR library). These experiences are a combination of both old and new items, and my wish list and library just keeps growing week after week with new releases, recommendations and game updates. This year, I wanted to keep track of all the games I’ve played and keep coming back to and catalogue them here in hopes that they may give you some fresh ideas of games to play, or reasons to revisit older games due to their updates or improvements.
Some of the games listed below, I can forsee playing all year long, and to be fair, others I've tried are not my cup of tea, but they may interest you enough to try them out. In either case, here are my quick thoughts on the 21 games I’ve played so far from January to March of 2023 along with links to them on the store.
- Bocce Time! ($8.99) From the developer: In Bocce Time! you'll head down to a peaceful park or atmospheric pier to test your bocce skills across 12 distinct courts. Jump into a quick match to 1v1 a random opponent online, create and join private rooms with up to 8 players, or play against AI across 3 difficulties to unlock additional ball customization options. With full cross-play, everyone's invited to join the fun! It's Bocce Time! My thoughts: This game has seen so many updates since it’s release and if you haven’t checked it out, there’s a free trial that opens up the whole game so you can try it out for yourself. With two parks (10 courses), an AI bot to challenge (that has great quips), collectible balls and support for up to eight people, this is a wonderful social game to play with friends. The Walkabout Mini Golf vibes are strong with this game, so players of that game will feel right at home. The latest update unlocked the entire park as a play area, and ensures that you and your friends will have unlimited options for where to play from. Along with Discord tournaments available if you're feeling competitive, this game is a real hidden gem and has grown a lot since its release. Absolutely worth a go, especially at that price point.
- Golf+ ($29.99) From the developer: GOLF+ is the ultimate VR Golf experience and the exclusive VR Golf game of the PGA TOUR. Join your friends for a round on Pebble Beach, Pinehurst No. 2, TPC Sawgrass and more. Want something more casual? Hang out at Topgolf for a night of music and games. My thoughts: Simply one of the best games on the app store. With all the great new updates such as Beat the Pro and new courses dropping every so often, it's one game that will be on my Quest until the next headset comes out. With the official PGA licenses, a variety of match options and support for four players, it’s an essential Quest game to play alone or with friends.
- Little Cities ($19.99) From the developer: Escape to the charming world of Little Cities, the most loved VR city building simulation game. Create your own little city and watch it come to life – from a humble village to a bustling metropolis. Design the layout and strategically plot amenities to make a perfect city where your citizens love to live. My thoughts: The latest update added citizens to the game. This adds a lot more flavor to your city and brings more life to your city. It’s a pretty simple SimCity style game that should keep you entertained for a few hours. I enjoyed this one, but wasn’t blown away. The extra DLC courses and achievements will give you more play time if you find yourself enjoying this one though.
- Compound ($19.99) From the developer: "COMPOUND is a randomized, rogue-lite, free-roaming shooter for Virtual Reality veterans. Duck and dodge around enemy fire in a tough-as-nails retro FPS with multiple locomotion options. Prepare to die - a lot - until you are good enough to reach the heart of The Corporation and take back what belongs to everyone..." My experience: Essentially Doom on Quest. The awesome blocky aesthetics work perfectly in this world. With a great gameplay loop and exciting gunplay this one will easily get its hooks into you. I found myself saying "just one more run" more often than I had time for. This single player shooter has so many achievements and difficulty levels that it kept me busy for quite some time. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and still have more to do. A must buy for any fan of the genre.
- Walkabout Mini Golf ($14.99) From the developer: 8 unique 18-hole courses to master. Unlock NIGHT MODE for more challenging versions of all courses. Play solo, 1v1 online quick match, or create a private room with up to 8 players. Extremely accurate physics feel just like the real thing. Collect over 188 custom balls hidden throughout. Solve treasure hunts on each hard course to earn special putters. My thoughts: What more needs to be said about this excellent game? It’s on my constant rotation of games to play alone, with friends, or even with strangers - as the community is so warm and welcoming. The community is truly one of the best, and there are several discord servers for tournaments, weekly meetups and more. An essential game that every Quest owner should have.
- VR Pool ($19.99) From the developer: ForeVR Pool brings the coolest pool halls from around the globe straight to your living room! Challenge friends, family, and in-game pros to a game of 8-ball pool – no table required. Battle 12 bots to level up and take on Legendary challengers. Join a Quick Match or jump into a private multiplayer party! Friend in town? Share your headset with Pass & Play. Up the ante and stake in-game coins in matches against other players. My thoughts: This was pretty feature-light and choppy when it first launched, but it now has 9-ball in addition to 8-ball. If you bought it early, it's worth a quick revisit. It sticks pretty true to the ForeVR formula with its aesthetics and collectibles. The graphics aren’t going to win any awards and frankly put me off of it when I first booted it up, but the physics hold up and it’s a good time against the AI or a friend. With 2v2 matches coming soon, that is where this game could really be worth revisiting for some multiplayer fun and friendly smack talk.
- After the Fall - (Played on PC $29.99, available on Quest $29.99) From the developer: Welcome to ‘The Line’... Decades have passed since the apocalypse turned 1980s Los Angeles into a snow-crested wasteland, overrun by mutated undead. Starting out in an underground camp with up to 32 other player survivors, you take up arms as a new Harvest Runner. Your mission? Venturing out above ground to expand the Line’s reach into the city and fuel mankind’s survival for another day. My thoughts: What a fun game. The gunplay and sheer amount of enemies on screen via PC is just stunning. You're set in an apocalyptic world and must shoot your way out while gathering resources. The atmosphere is stunning, and the graphics are top notch as well. While I’m sure it’s downgraded a bit to run on Quest, don’t let that hold you back. You can play this co-op with up to three other players and bots will fill you out to four. The teamwork this game offers is wonderful. Find a friend or two and jump in this one, or play with the ever-full lobbies of people looking to join up. The latest Descension update adds two new maps and a ton of other bug fixes and gameplay additions. It's a great time to jump in with a friend!
- Cosmoniuous High (Played on PC $29.99, available on Quest $29.99) From the developer: From the creators of award winning titles 'Job Simulator' and 'Vacation Simulator', comes a new original creation—the comically catastrophic Cosmonious High! Welcome to your alien high school that's definitely completely free of malfunctions! After crash-landing into your first day, you'll unlock powers, explore the halls, and save the school from cosmic chaos. My thoughts: I would consider this is the third entry in the Job Simulator series - even though it's technically not in the same world. I’d really recommend you play them in order to fully appreciate the experience this game has to offer. Job Simulator was the first game, with jokes and fun interaction. Vacation Simulator expanded on that idea with similar characters, and what Cosmonius does is take the ideas of object interaction and conversations and cranks it up to the max. I had so much fun experimenting, talking with NPC’s, exploring the school and seeing what story the game had to offer. This is one of those games that just speaks to people like me who likes to push the boundaries to see what you can do in a game and rewards players for experimenting. It's a heartwarming game that continues to get quality of life and accessibility updates.
- The Invisible Hours - (Played on PC $29.99, but coming out on Quest, currently available in the Rift store.) From the developer: The Invisible Hours is a complex murder mystery playable with or without a VR headset. Players freely explore an intricate web of interwoven stories within a sprawling mansion. A group of strangers receive a curious invitation from the enigmatic inventor, Nikola Tesla, offering each of them the chance to make amends for their darkest wrongdoings. When the last guest arrives at Tesla’s isolated mansion laboratory, they find him dead – murdered. Disgraced Swedish detective, Gustaf Gustav, vows to find the killer amongst the other guests: a blind butler, a convicted murderer, the world’s most famous actress, Tesla’s former assistant, the son of a wealthy railroad magnate, and rival inventor Thomas Edison. But none of these people are what they seem. My thoughts: I heard so many great things about this game and it's really more of an interactive story than anything. You find yourself moving around the mansion, piecing together the intricate story and learning how all these people relate to one another and their hidden secrets. I had a great time with this game, it had a unique concept that kept me fully engaged throughout.
- Pokerstars VR (Free) From the developer: PokerStars, the world’s leading poker brand, has combined live and online poker in a truly immersive VR experience. Featuring Quest Pro support with face and eye tracking, advanced haptics, and mixed reality passthrough! My thoughts: This is one of my go-to games with friends. Once you get past the initial low-stakes tables where kids play and go all-in on many hands, you’ll find a new set of players that actually play smart poker and like to chat. If you have some friends, you can create your own private room and avoid that all together. It’s a relaxing game where you can meet new people and just chill in VR. It’s my social game where I go to unwind. Recent updates have seen them add craps and social poker rooms with slots and roulette. If you're looking to relax and play some poker, this free to play game will hit the spot. You can easily play this game for free and not ever spend a dime.
- Path of the Warrior ($19.99) From the developer: We interrupt this broadcast with breaking news...chaos in the streets of Rage City tonight! The myriad local gangs, once at constant war with each other have now unified under a mysterious new crime boss...Mr. S. Thugs have flooded the entire city, unleashing a wave of terror. The police are overwhelmed and the public is in imminent danger! Can anyone put a stop to the crime wave? Can anyone save Rage City? My thoughts: This fighting game is one that you can blow off steam with. It harkens back to the old Double Dragon or Final Fight arcade days and I highly recommend you play through this game with a friend as you’ll be laughing your way through it at the absurd combos and interactive objects and scenery you can use to defeat your foes. Find a bit of open room to play in, and punch your way through the game.
- Half Life Alyx Mod: The Undertow - (PC only, Free) From the developer: You play as Alyx, tasked with delivering a mysterious briefcase to the owner of an underground night club, upon arriving you realize this deal might not be so straight forward... Expected Playtime: 50min - 1hr. Features: Full-fledged Story with Voice Acting, Custom Sounds, Assets, and Gameplay, Unique Puzzles & Engaging Combat, Full Single-Controller Support and Drinkable Vodka (Finally). My thoughts: I’ve been working my way through some Half Life Alyx mods that bubble up to the top via Reddit or online posts. This one found its way into my queue and while it had a really unique setting, it was extremely buggy in one spot, to the point where I had to restart a section close to 20 times. I didn't find the end game satisfying, and with so many other great mods, it was a miss for me.
- Sheaf - Together EP (PC only, Free) From the developer: Enter virtual reality to listen to the debut EP “Together” of synthwave producer Sheaf. No gameplay involved -- just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music while you drive through a retro low poly world. The EP features 3 tracks, and each track comes with its own scenery, tailor made to fit its mood. You can start each track separately from the main menu. My thoughts: As noted in the developer description, this is really more a zen-like experience where you’re sitting in a car that drives down a road while chill music is playing. Certainly different from a lot of other “zone out” experiences that focus on geometric shapes, but the blocky visuals really conflicted with the chill vibe it was going for. Not really my jam, but if you like chill experiences, it might be for you. You certainly can't beat the price.
- Shooty Fruity ($19.99) From the developer: Do your job whilst shooting guns! Shooty Fruity combines job simulation with exhilarating combat that makes you feel like a true action hero - whether McClane, Wick or Rambo. Take on new roles and unlock weapons to fight your way through your career. Scan shoot repeat! My thoughts: I kept seeing this game show up in sales and various feeds so I finally tried it out. After 30 minutes I just was not having any fun at all. While the enemies were silly (various fruits and vegetables), the gun mechanics were lackluster. I just did not get into the gameplay loop of shooting and scanning groceries. It was just too repetitive for me and for that reason I can’t recommend it.
- What the Bat? ($24.99) From the developer: From the creators of WHAT THE GOLF? comes a silly VR game about navigating life with baseball bats for hands. Swing your way through over 100 levels of batting, cooking, shooting, smashing, parking, painting, pickling, petting, and WHATnot. My thoughts: I was a huge fan of What the Golf on iOS, and was quite excited when I heard about this sequel. The “high” price point turned me off for a while, but when UploadVR gave it their “game of the year” award, I finally pulled the trigger. I had high hopes, and it was fun… at first, but the gimmick started to wear really thin on me rather quickly. It just didn’t seem to have the same magic the first game had. I kept going through it in hopes that something would change, or capture that original feeling, but honestly, it was a grind to finish such a short game. I understand I’m probably in the minority here, but I was quite disappointed.
- Superhot ($24.99) From the developer: Multi-award winning, smash-hit SUPERHOT VR blurs the lines between cautious strategy and unbridled mayhem. The definitive VR action experience. Time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It's you, alone, outnumbered and outgunned. Snatch weapons from fallen enemies to shoot, slice and dodge through a truly cinematic hurricane of slow-motion bullets. It’s like nothing you have ever played before. Something is different here. Lose track of what’s real. My thoughts: You know it, and you probably love it. Like so many others, so did I. This was one of my first VR experiences years ago and I finally saw it through to the end. This game can be quite demanding for some levels requiring accurate shooting, movement and timing. This game offers a really unique take on gameplay and multiple ways to get through some levels really increase the replayability. With the unique achievements to strive for you have a real winner. A must own for all gamers.
- Tube Be Continued (Demo) (Full game $14.99) From the developer: Hello! Welcome to TUBE Industries: a hamster owned and operated tube puzzle emporium! Prepare for a tube-based, puzzle-filled, HAM-PACKED adventure with our charismatic leader: The BOSS. Here at TUBE Industries we provide the puzzles and you provide… the brains. No shady business here! My thoughts: I like to look at the new App Lab games that come out every now and then and I’m a sucker for a good puzzle game. This is a game where you connect mazes together for hamsters to run through. It was a weird story that sees you working with a Hamster CEO trying to save his company from the Board, which are all hamsters. Really weird stuff, but while the demo was fun, the puzzles were a bit on the simple side and ultimately, I just did not think it was worth buying at this point. That being said, if the demo grabs you I could see this being a fun few hours with new content planning to be added.
- Dart Racer (Free) From the developer: Dart Racer is an arcade racing game where you compete against AI during race and other players on the online leaderboards - features multiple race tracks and environments - steering based on throttle differential - interactive tutorial - customizable game and comfort settings - optional hand tracking. My thoughts: Now this is podracing! It really did feel like I was doing some classic Star Wars podracing, but it was quite tough to learn the controls. Once I got that figured out, there certainly was some fun to be had, but unfortunately, it just was okay for me and I dropped out after a bit. Give it a try for free, and keep in mind there are plenty of motion assists to play with so you don't get sick.
- Nock ($9.99) From the developer: Nock is bow and arrow soccer. Skate and fly around a pitch while using a bow and arrow to blast the ball into the other team’s goal. Compete in multiplayer ranked matches, or play casual custom games with your friends! Like a real sport, Nock is easy to learn but difficult to master. Block arrows let you create obstacles and you can even use your body to make a goal or save. A fast-moving ball can knock you out. Skill-based matchmaking keeps every game extremely close and competitive. Casual modes let you challenge yourself against bots or play with friends in custom matches. My thoughts: Rocket League but with archery. While I’m not a fan of archery games in general, this game really had the physics dialed in. I always felt like I was in full control of my movement and bow and arrow. Nothing ever felt like it was off, and the aiming was spot on. Every hit of the ball, or miss was my fault. An absolute blast with with up to four friends, and that’s how I recommend you play it - with friends. But there are leagues and tournaments readily available if get into the game. That being said, I’m pretty terrible at it, and will only play with friends who can tolerate my terrible skills.
- Into the Radius ($29.99) From the developer: An atmospheric open-world single-player survival shooter. You find yourself in the middle of the blighted zone, cut from the outside world. Your guns and your wits are all you have left. Fight the deadly enemies, dodge dangerous anomalies, and collect wondrous artifacts on your way to the Radius center to find your way out. My thoughts: I found myself constantly saying “I can’t believe this actually runs on a Quest.” The amount of items you can interact with, areas available to explore, systems to learn and missions to accept can be quite overwhelming. Honestly it took me about 5-7 hours of gameplay, tutorials and youtube videos until finally the game “clicked.” After this one fateful mission where I was over encumbered with items, low on ammo with minimal health and dealing with enemies at every turn, I was totally immersed and was having the time of my life. It was an absolute blast and despite being so tense - a joy to play. I did tone down the difficulty a bit, which made it much more playable and less punishing. Truly a great game if you like the loop of scavenging, planning your route ahead and making sure literally every bullet counts. While it lacks in story, it does have a lot of environmental details and little things that you have to find for yourself. If you like survival games, it’s almost perfect.
- Surgineer ($9.99) From the developer: Have you ever dreamed of being a real surgeon? Well… you are not gonna learn that here. Welcome to the most unrealistic surgery simulator where everyone can instantly become a terrible doctor. You will have to solve hilarious surgical procedures ranging from CPR to brain transplant or even removing alien eggs from a poor patient using a robotic arm! You always thought you had that surgeon in you? You better have a bulletproof malpractice insurance before getting your virtual hands on a patient! My thoughts: At such a low price point, I wasn’t expecting much. I remember playing Surgeon Simulator back in the day and this looked like that. Much to my disappointment it was much more terrible than I had hoped. Absolutely no fun was to be had here. I constantly fought with the controls, many times had no clue what to do and finally gave up in frustration. I understand part of the appeal is the wonkiness of it, but this game requires someone with a lot more patience than me to get some fun out of it.
There you have it, 21 different games played in three months. I would say there are plenty of games to play and enjoy on the Quest. I hope you find a few that you might not have heard of, or that you might find worth revisiting. Let me know on the Ruff Talk
Discord channel if you have a game you enjoy that I should try, I'm always open to recommendations. You can also find this article on the
RuffTalkVR Blog Until then, I hope your next VR experience is a memorable one.

https://preview.redd.it/fv5eg07j1bpa1.jpg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27feb7166d3427e6099b06cdc4d5800483ec666a READEN HOLDING CORPORATION (OTC PINK: RHCO), a Venture Capital Corporation which is active in the Fintech, Online Payment and E-commerce industries, today announced that the Company has filed its financial statements for the quarter ending December 2022 with OTC Markets Disclosure & News Service. RHCO reported an increase in Revenue of 151.70% compared to the quarter ending September 2022, which is also a year-over-year increase of 665.25%. And the Company has recorded a profit of $822,343 for this period, an impressive increase of 1,413.99% compared to last quarter.
https://preview.redd.it/89i42vb12bpa1.png?width=1298&format=png&auto=webp&s=8bb2d096891cc89ac5ffe0cc1b80e6448ce978c3 The encouraging result was due to the recent activities in Oke Partners and Oke Club, which have brought significant income to the Company. As Covid restrictions started to relax in Q4 of 2022, travel and retail sectors were back on track to normal. Oke Club (Oke Travel Club: oketravelclub.enjoymydeals.com) has been benefited from the resume of traveling with a solid growth of paid membership. And Oke Partners (
www.okepartners.com) also saw growth in members and merchants which has increased the consumer spendings through OkeApp. The Company will realize a full scale, multiple channels marketing campaign for Oke Partners and Oke Club in coming months and expects even bigger growth in the aftermath of Covid.
Meanwhile, Neckermann Direct (
www.neckermanndirect.eu) - the Company’s B2C E-commerce Platform has also contributed profits significantly. RHCO has revived Neckermann Direct last year, turning the 70 years old, one of the most well-known retails brands in Europe into a front runner of global E-commerce, and providing a platform for Asian merchants and products to enter European market. The Company has captured the market opportunity, as E-commerce giant Amazon blocked numerous Chinese merchant accounts and forced many Chinese companies to seek other direct selling channels. Neckermann Direct welcomes cross-border merchants from Asia to directly sell their products to customers in Europe, activity bridging the gap between European customers and Asian merchants and has already added more than 150,000 products online. This has resulted in tremendous sales growth on Neckermann Direct platform.
Richard Klitsie, CEO of RHCO stated, “The management team of RHCO is thrilled to present our stockholders this good news in the beginning of 2023. For many companies, the past two years have been very difficult due to Covid situations. Our Company managed to keep on building, developing and exploring under the same circumstances, because we always believe in the future of Fintech and E-Commerce and would not give in easily. This profitable Q4 2022 was the result of our hard work and strong resilience. Our team has a high spirit, and we expect to sustain the percentage of growth in revenue and profit for the next quarter.”

2023.03.22 16:40 SlowShoes There are no games to play! (January-March)
When I read posts about how there are no games to play on the Quest, I simply can’t relate. I’m a voracious consumer of VR games, experiences and demos and currently have over 330 of them on my headset (not including my PCVR library). These experiences are a combination of both old and new items, and my wish list and library just keeps growing week after week with new releases, recommendations and game updates. This year, I wanted to keep track of all the games I’ve played and keep coming back to and catalogue them here in hopes that they may give you some fresh ideas of games to play, or reasons to revisit older games due to their updates or improvements.
Some of the games listed below, I can forsee playing all year long, and to be fair, others I've tried are not my cup of tea, but they may interest you enough to try them out. In either case, here are my quick thoughts on the 21 games I’ve played so far from January to March of 2023 along with links to them on the store.
- Bocce Time! ($8.99) From the developer: In Bocce Time! you'll head down to a peaceful park or atmospheric pier to test your bocce skills across 12 distinct courts. Jump into a quick match to 1v1 a random opponent online, create and join private rooms with up to 8 players, or play against AI across 3 difficulties to unlock additional ball customization options. With full cross-play, everyone's invited to join the fun! It's Bocce Time! My thoughts: This game has seen so many updates since it’s release and if you haven’t checked it out, there’s a free trial that opens up the whole game so you can try it out for yourself. With two parks (10 courses), an AI bot to challenge (that has great quips), collectible balls and support for up to eight people, this is a wonderful social game to play with friends. The Walkabout Mini Golf vibes are strong with this game, so players of that game will feel right at home.

With the official PGA licenses, a variety of match options and support for four players, it’s an essential Quest game to play alone or with friends.
- Little Cities ($19.99) From the developer: Escape to the charming world of Little Cities, the most loved VR city building simulation game. Create your own little city and watch it come to life – from a humble village to a bustling metropolis. Design the layout and strategically plot amenities to make a perfect city where your citizens love to live. My thoughts: The latest update added citizens to the game.

- Compound ($19.99) From the developer: "COMPOUND is a randomized, rogue-lite, free-roaming shooter for Virtual Reality veterans. Duck and dodge around enemy fire in a tough-as-nails retro FPS with multiple locomotion options. Prepare to die - a lot - until you are good enough to reach the heart of The Corporation and take back what belongs to everyone..." My experience: Essentially Doom on Quest. The awesome blocky aesthetics work perfectly in this world. With a great gameplay loop and exciting gunplay this one will easily get its hooks into you. I found myself saying "just one more run" more often than I had time for. This single player shooter has so many achievements and difficulty levels that it kept me busy for quite some time. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and still have more to do. A must buy for any fan of the genre.
- Walkabout Mini Golf ($14.99) From the developer: 8 unique 18-hole courses to master. Unlock NIGHT MODE for more challenging versions of all courses. Play solo, 1v1 online quick match, or create a private room with up to 8 players. Extremely accurate physics feel just like the real thing. Collect over 188 custom balls hidden throughout. Solve treasure hunts on each hard course to earn special putters. My thoughts: What more needs to be said about this excellent game? It’s on my constant rotation of games to play alone, with friends, or even with strangers - as the community is so warm and welcoming. The community is truly one of the best, and there are several discord servers for tournaments, weekly meetups and more. An essential game that every Quest owner should have.
- VR Pool ($19.99) From the developer: ForeVR Pool brings the coolest pool halls from around the globe straight to your living room! Challenge friends, family, and in-game pros to a game of 8-ball pool – no table required. Battle 12 bots to level up and take on Legendary challengers. Join a Quick Match or jump into a private multiplayer party! Friend in town? Share your headset with Pass & Play. Up the ante and stake in-game coins in matches against other players. My thoughts: This was pretty feature-light and choppy when it first launched, but it now has 9-ball in addition to 8-ball. If you bought it early, it's worth a quick revisit. It sticks pretty true to the ForeVR formula with its aesthetics and collectibles. The graphics aren’t going to win any awards and frankly put me off of it when I first booted it up, but the physics hold up and it’s a good time against the AI or a friend. With 2v2 matches coming soon, that is where this game could really be worth revisiting for some multiplayer fun and friendly smack talk.
- After the Fall - (Played on PC $29.99, available on Quest $29.99) From the developer: Welcome to ‘The Line’... Decades have passed since the apocalypse turned 1980s Los Angeles into a snow-crested wasteland, overrun by mutated undead. Starting out in an underground camp with up to 32 other player survivors, you take up arms as a new Harvest Runner. Your mission? Venturing out above ground to expand the Line’s reach into the city and fuel mankind’s survival for another day. My thoughts: What a fun game. The gunplay and sheer amount of enemies on screen via PC is just stunning. You're set in an apocalyptic world and must shoot your way out while gathering resources. The atmosphere is stunning, and the graphics are top notch as well. While I’m sure it’s downgraded a bit to run on Quest, don’t let that hold you back. You can play this co-op with up to three other players and bots will fill you out to four. The teamwork this game offers is wonderful. Find a friend or two and jump in this one, or play with the ever-full lobbies of people looking to join up. The latest Descension update adds two new maps and a ton of other bug fixes and gameplay additions. It's a great time to jump in with a friend!
- Cosmoniuous High (Played on PC $29.99, available on Quest $29.99) From the developer: From the creators of award winning titles 'Job Simulator' and 'Vacation Simulator', comes a new original creation—the comically catastrophic Cosmonious High! Welcome to your alien high school that's definitely completely free of malfunctions! After crash-landing into your first day, you'll unlock powers, explore the halls, and save the school from cosmic chaos. My thoughts: I would consider this is the third entry in the Job Simulator series - even though it's technically not in the same world. I’d really recommend you play them in order to fully appreciate the experience this game has to offer. Job Simulator was the first game, with jokes and fun interaction. Vacation Simulator expanded on that idea with similar characters, and what Cosmonius does is take the ideas of object interaction and conversations and cranks it up to the max. I had so much fun experimenting, talking with NPC’s, exploring the school and seeing what story the game had to offer. This is one of those games that just speaks to people like me who likes to push the boundaries to see what you can do in a game and rewards players for experimenting. It's a heartwarming game that continues to get quality of life and accessibility updates.
- The Invisible Hours - (Played on PC $29.99, but coming out on Quest, currently available in the Rift store.) From the developer: The Invisible Hours is a complex murder mystery playable with or without a VR headset. Players freely explore an intricate web of interwoven stories within a sprawling mansion. A group of strangers receive a curious invitation from the enigmatic inventor, Nikola Tesla, offering each of them the chance to make amends for their darkest wrongdoings. When the last guest arrives at Tesla’s isolated mansion laboratory, they find him dead – murdered. Disgraced Swedish detective, Gustaf Gustav, vows to find the killer amongst the other guests: a blind butler, a convicted murderer, the world’s most famous actress, Tesla’s former assistant, the son of a wealthy railroad magnate, and rival inventor Thomas Edison. But none of these people are what they seem. My thoughts: I heard so many great things about this game and it's really more of an interactive story than anything. You find yourself moving around the mansion, piecing together the intricate story and learning how all these people relate to one another and their hidden secrets. I had a great time with this game, it had a unique concept that kept me fully engaged throughout.
- Pokerstars VR (Free) From the developer: PokerStars, the world’s leading poker brand, has combined live and online poker in a truly immersive VR experience. Featuring Quest Pro support with face and eye tracking, advanced haptics, and mixed reality passthrough! My thoughts: This is one of my go-to games with friends. Once you get past the initial low-stakes tables where kids play and go all-in on many hands, you’ll find a new set of players that actually play smart poker and like to chat. If you have some friends, you can create your own private room and avoid that all together. It’s a relaxing game where you can meet new people and just chill in VR. It’s my social game where I go to unwind. Recent updates have seen them add craps and social poker rooms with slots and roulette. If you're looking to relax and play some poker, this free to play game will hit the spot. You can easily play this game for free and not ever spend a dime.
- Path of the Warrior ($19.99) From the developer: We interrupt this broadcast with breaking news...chaos in the streets of Rage City tonight! The myriad local gangs, once at constant war with each other have now unified under a mysterious new crime boss...Mr. S. Thugs have flooded the entire city, unleashing a wave of terror. The police are overwhelmed and the public is in imminent danger! Can anyone put a stop to the crime wave? Can anyone save Rage City? My thoughts: This fighting game is one that you can blow off steam with. It harkens back to the old Double Dragon or Final Fight arcade days and I highly recommend you play through this game with a friend as you’ll be laughing your way through it at the absurd combos and interactive objects and scenery you can use to defeat your foes. Find a bit of open room to play in, and punch your way through the game.
- Half Life Alyx Mod: The Undertow - (PC only, Free) From the developer: You play as Alyx, tasked with delivering a mysterious briefcase to the owner of an underground night club, upon arriving you realize this deal might not be so straight forward... Expected Playtime: 50min - 1hr. Features: Full-fledged Story with Voice Acting, Custom Sounds, Assets, and Gameplay, Unique Puzzles & Engaging Combat, Full Single-Controller Support and Drinkable Vodka (Finally). My thoughts: I’ve been working my way through some Half Life Alyx mods that bubble up to the top via Reddit or online posts. This one found its way into my queue and while it had a really unique setting, it was extremely buggy in one spot, to the point where I had to restart a section close to 20 times. I didn't find the end game satisfying, and with so many other great mods, it was a miss for me.
- Sheaf - Together EP (PC only, Free) From the developer: Enter virtual reality to listen to the debut EP “Together” of synthwave producer Sheaf. No gameplay involved -- just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music while you drive through a retro low poly world. The EP features 3 tracks, and each track comes with its own scenery, tailor made to fit its mood. You can start each track separately from the main menu. My thoughts: As noted in the developer description, this is really more a zen-like experience where you’re sitting in a car that drives down a road while chill music is playing. Certainly different from a lot of other “zone out” experiences that focus on geometric shapes, but the blocky visuals really conflicted with the chill vibe it was going for. Not really my jam, but if you like chill experiences, it might be for you. You certainly can't beat the price.
- Shooty Fruity ($19.99) From the developer: Do your job whilst shooting guns! Shooty Fruity combines job simulation with exhilarating combat that makes you feel like a true action hero - whether McClane, Wick or Rambo. Take on new roles and unlock weapons to fight your way through your career. Scan shoot repeat! My thoughts: I kept seeing this game show up in sales and various feeds so I finally tried it out. After 30 minutes I just was not having any fun at all. While the enemies were silly (various fruits and vegetables), the gun mechanics were lackluster. I just did not get into the gameplay loop of shooting and scanning groceries. It was just too repetitive for me and for that reason I can’t recommend it.
- What the Bat? ($24.99) From the developer: From the creators of WHAT THE GOLF? comes a silly VR game about navigating life with baseball bats for hands. Swing your way through over 100 levels of batting, cooking, shooting, smashing, parking, painting, pickling, petting, and WHATnot. My thoughts: I was a huge fan of What the Golf on iOS, and was quite excited when I heard about this sequel. The “high” price point turned me off for a while, but when UploadVR gave it their “game of the year” award, I finally pulled the trigger. I had high hopes, and it was fun… at first, but the gimmick started to wear really thin on me rather quickly. It just didn’t seem to have the same magic the first game had. I kept going through it in hopes that something would change, or capture that original feeling, but honestly, it was a grind to finish such a short game. I understand I’m probably in the minority here, but I was quite disappointed.
- Superhot ($24.99) From the developer: Multi-award winning, smash-hit SUPERHOT VR blurs the lines between cautious strategy and unbridled mayhem. The definitive VR action experience. Time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It's you, alone, outnumbered and outgunned. Snatch weapons from fallen enemies to shoot, slice and dodge through a truly cinematic hurricane of slow-motion bullets. It’s like nothing you have ever played before. Something is different here. Lose track of what’s real. My thoughts: You know it, and you probably love it. Like so many others, so did I. This was one of my first VR experiences years ago and I finally saw it through to the end. This game can be quite demanding for some levels requiring accurate shooting, movement and timing. This game offers a really unique take on gameplay and multiple ways to get through some levels really increase the replayability. With the unique achievements to strive for you have a real winner. A must own for all gamers.
- Tube Be Continued (Demo) (Full game $14.99) From the developer: Hello! Welcome to TUBE Industries: a hamster owned and operated tube puzzle emporium! Prepare for a tube-based, puzzle-filled, HAM-PACKED adventure with our charismatic leader: The BOSS. Here at TUBE Industries we provide the puzzles and you provide… the brains. No shady business here! My thoughts: I like to look at the new App Lab games that come out every now and then and I’m a sucker for a good puzzle game. This is a game where you connect mazes together for hamsters to run through. It was a weird story that sees you working with a Hamster CEO trying to save his company from the Board, which are all hamsters. Really weird stuff, but while the demo was fun, the puzzles were a bit on the simple side and ultimately, I just did not think it was worth buying at this point. That being said, if the demo grabs you I could see this being a fun few hours with new content planning to be added.
- Dart Racer (Free) From the developer: Dart Racer is an arcade racing game where you compete against AI during race and other players on the online leaderboards - features multiple race tracks and environments - steering based on throttle differential - interactive tutorial - customizable game and comfort settings - optional hand tracking. My thoughts: Now this is podracing! It really did feel like I was doing some classic Star Wars podracing, but it was quite tough to learn the controls. Once I got that figured out, there certainly was some fun to be had, but unfortunately, it just was okay for me and I dropped out after a bit. Give it a try for free, and keep in mind there are plenty of motion assists to play with so you don't get sick.
- Nock ($9.99) From the developer: Nock is bow and arrow soccer. Skate and fly around a pitch while using a bow and arrow to blast the ball into the other team’s goal. Compete in multiplayer ranked matches, or play casual custom games with your friends! Like a real sport, Nock is easy to learn but difficult to master. Block arrows let you create obstacles and you can even use your body to make a goal or save. A fast-moving ball can knock you out. Skill-based matchmaking keeps every game extremely close and competitive. Casual modes let you challenge yourself against bots or play with friends in custom matches. My thoughts: Rocket League but with archery. While I’m not a fan of archery games in general, this game really had the physics dialed in. I always felt like I was in full control of my movement and bow and arrow. Nothing ever felt like it was off, and the aiming was spot on. Every hit of the ball, or miss was my fault. An absolute blast with with up to four friends, and that’s how I recommend you play it - with friends. But there are leagues and tournaments readily available if get into the game. That being said, I’m pretty terrible at it, and will only play with friends who can tolerate my terrible skills.
- Into the Radius ($29.99) From the developer: An atmospheric open-world single-player survival shooter. You find yourself in the middle of the blighted zone, cut from the outside world. Your guns and your wits are all you have left. Fight the deadly enemies, dodge dangerous anomalies, and collect wondrous artifacts on your way to the Radius center to find your way out. My thoughts: I found myself constantly saying “I can’t believe this actually runs on a Quest.” The amount of items you can interact with, areas available to explore, systems to learn and missions to accept can be quite overwhelming. Honestly it took me about 5-7 hours of gameplay, tutorials and youtube videos until finally the game “clicked.” After this one fateful mission where I was over encumbered with items, low on ammo with minimal health and dealing with enemies at every turn, I was totally immersed and was having the time of my life. It was an absolute blast and despite being so tense - a joy to play. I did tone down the difficulty a bit, which made it much more playable and less punishing. Truly a great game if you like the loop of scavenging, planning your route ahead and making sure literally every bullet counts. While it lacks in story, it does have a lot of environmental details and little things that you have to find for yourself. If you like survival games, it’s almost perfect.
- Surgineer ($9.99) From the developer: Have you ever dreamed of being a real surgeon? Well… you are not gonna learn that here. Welcome to the most unrealistic surgery simulator where everyone can instantly become a terrible doctor. You will have to solve hilarious surgical procedures ranging from CPR to brain transplant or even removing alien eggs from a poor patient using a robotic arm! You always thought you had that surgeon in you? You better have a bulletproof malpractice insurance before getting your virtual hands on a patient! My thoughts: At such a low price point, I wasn’t expecting much. I remember playing Surgeon Simulator back in the day and this looked like that. Much to my disappointment it was much more terrible than I had hoped. Absolutely no fun was to be had here. I constantly fought with the controls, many times had no clue what to do and finally gave up in frustration. I understand part of the appeal is the wonkiness of it, but this game requires someone with a lot more patience than me to get some fun out of it.
There you have it, 21 different games played in three months. I would say there are plenty of games to play and enjoy on the Quest. I hope you find a few that you might not have heard of, or that you might find worth revisiting. Let me know on the Ruff Talk
Discord channel if you have a game you enjoy that I should try, I'm always open to recommendations. You can also find this article on the
RuffTalkVR Blog Until then, I hope your next VR experience is a memorable one.

2023.03.22 16:39 crabguy_games Firing a long time purchaser
I’m at the end of my rope with this purchaser. She was one of my first sales and quickly became a regular but there has not been an order that I have not gotten to three long Messages, either complaining about little things or trauma dumping. For example a while back she sent six messages about how her husband and best friend died. At the time I was new and kind of ignored it but I’m done it’s always something with her. (The newest issue was that an item had slightly more product then then the last time she ordered, she’s was upset that she got more of the product) So how do I nicely make it that she is not allowed to purchase from me anymore without risking the 5 reviews she made in the pass (and she can still make one more)

2023.03.22 16:39 SlowShoes There are no games to play! (January-March)
When I read posts about how there are no games to play on the Quest, I simply can’t relate. I’m a voracious consumer of VR games, experiences and demos and currently have over 330 of them on my headset (not including my PCVR library). These experiences are a combination of both old and new items, and my wish list and library just keeps growing week after week with new releases, recommendations and game updates. This year, I wanted to keep track of all the games I’ve played and keep coming back to and catalogue them here in hopes that they may give you some fresh ideas of games to play, or reasons to revisit older games due to their updates or improvements.
Some of the games listed below, I can forsee playing all year long, and to be fair, others I've tried are not my cup of tea, but they may interest you enough to try them out. In either case, here are my quick thoughts on the 21 games I’ve played so far from January to March of 2023 along with links to them on the store.
- Bocce Time! ($8.99) From the developer: In Bocce Time! you'll head down to a peaceful park or atmospheric pier to test your bocce skills across 12 distinct courts. Jump into a quick match to 1v1 a random opponent online, create and join private rooms with up to 8 players, or play against AI across 3 difficulties to unlock additional ball customization options. With full cross-play, everyone's invited to join the fun! It's Bocce Time! My thoughts: This game has seen so many updates since it’s release and if you haven’t checked it out, there’s a free trial that opens up the whole game so you can try it out for yourself. With two parks (10 courses), an AI bot to challenge (that has great quips), collectible balls and support for up to eight people, this is a wonderful social game to play with friends. The Walkabout Mini Golf vibes are strong with this game, so players of that game will feel right at home. The latest update unlocked the entire park as a play area, and ensures that you and your friends will have unlimited options for where to play from. Along with Discord tournaments available if you're feeling competitive, this game is a real hidden gem and has grown a lot since its release. Absolutely worth a go, especially at that price point.
- Golf+ ($29.99) From the developer: GOLF+ is the ultimate VR Golf experience and the exclusive VR Golf game of the PGA TOUR. Join your friends for a round on Pebble Beach, Pinehurst No. 2, TPC Sawgrass and more. Want something more casual? Hang out at Topgolf for a night of music and games. My thoughts: Simply one of the best games on the app store. With all the great new updates such as Beat the Pro and new courses dropping every so often, it's one game that will be on my Quest until the next headset comes out. With the official PGA licenses, a variety of match options and support for four players, it’s an essential Quest game to play alone or with friends.
- Little Cities ($19.99) From the developer: Escape to the charming world of Little Cities, the most loved VR city building simulation game. Create your own little city and watch it come to life – from a humble village to a bustling metropolis. Design the layout and strategically plot amenities to make a perfect city where your citizens love to live. My thoughts: The latest update added citizens to the game. This adds a lot more flavor to your city and brings more life to your city. It’s a pretty simple SimCity style game that should keep you entertained for a few hours. I enjoyed this one, but wasn’t blown away. The extra DLC courses and achievements will give you more play time if you find yourself enjoying this one though.
- Compound ($19.99) From the developer: "COMPOUND is a randomized, rogue-lite, free-roaming shooter for Virtual Reality veterans. Duck and dodge around enemy fire in a tough-as-nails retro FPS with multiple locomotion options. Prepare to die - a lot - until you are good enough to reach the heart of The Corporation and take back what belongs to everyone..." My experience: Essentially Doom on Quest. The awesome blocky aesthetics work perfectly in this world. With a great gameplay loop and exciting gunplay this one will easily get its hooks into you. I found myself saying "just one more run" more often than I had time for. This single player shooter has so many achievements and difficulty levels that it kept me busy for quite some time. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and still have more to do. A must buy for any fan of the genre.
- Walkabout Mini Golf ($14.99) From the developer: 8 unique 18-hole courses to master. Unlock NIGHT MODE for more challenging versions of all courses. Play solo, 1v1 online quick match, or create a private room with up to 8 players. Extremely accurate physics feel just like the real thing. Collect over 188 custom balls hidden throughout. Solve treasure hunts on each hard course to earn special putters. My thoughts: What more needs to be said about this excellent game? It’s on my constant rotation of games to play alone, with friends, or even with strangers - as the community is so warm and welcoming. The community is truly one of the best, and there are several discord servers for tournaments, weekly meetups and more. An essential game that every Quest owner should have.
- VR Pool ($19.99) From the developer: ForeVR Pool brings the coolest pool halls from around the globe straight to your living room! Challenge friends, family, and in-game pros to a game of 8-ball pool – no table required. Battle 12 bots to level up and take on Legendary challengers. Join a Quick Match or jump into a private multiplayer party! Friend in town? Share your headset with Pass & Play. Up the ante and stake in-game coins in matches against other players. My thoughts: This was pretty feature-light and choppy when it first launched, but it now has 9-ball in addition to 8-ball. If you bought it early, it's worth a quick revisit. It sticks pretty true to the ForeVR formula with its aesthetics and collectibles. The graphics aren’t going to win any awards and frankly put me off of it when I first booted it up, but the physics hold up and it’s a good time against the AI or a friend. With 2v2 matches coming soon, that is where this game could really be worth revisiting for some multiplayer fun and friendly smack talk.
- After the Fall - (Played on PC $29.99, available on Quest $29.99) From the developer: Welcome to ‘The Line’... Decades have passed since the apocalypse turned 1980s Los Angeles into a snow-crested wasteland, overrun by mutated undead. Starting out in an underground camp with up to 32 other player survivors, you take up arms as a new Harvest Runner. Your mission? Venturing out above ground to expand the Line’s reach into the city and fuel mankind’s survival for another day. My thoughts: What a fun game. The gunplay and sheer amount of enemies on screen via PC is just stunning. You're set in an apocalyptic world and must shoot your way out while gathering resources. The atmosphere is stunning, and the graphics are top notch as well. While I’m sure it’s downgraded a bit to run on Quest, don’t let that hold you back. You can play this co-op with up to three other players and bots will fill you out to four. The teamwork this game offers is wonderful. Find a friend or two and jump in this one, or play with the ever-full lobbies of people looking to join up. The latest Descension update adds two new maps and a ton of other bug fixes and gameplay additions. It's a great time to jump in with a friend!
- Cosmoniuous High (Played on PC $29.99, available on Quest $29.99) From the developer: From the creators of award winning titles 'Job Simulator' and 'Vacation Simulator', comes a new original creation—the comically catastrophic Cosmonious High!

This is one of those games that just speaks to people like me who likes to push the boundaries to see what you can do in a game and rewards players for experimenting. It's a heartwarming game that continues to get quality of life and accessibility updates.

From the developer: The Invisible Hours is a complex murder mystery playable with or without a VR headset. Players freely explore an intricate web of interwoven stories within a sprawling mansion.

Featuring Quest Pro support with face and eye tracking, advanced haptics, and mixed reality passthrough! My thoughts: This is one of my go-to games with friends. Once you get past the initial low-stakes tables where kids play and go all-in on many hands, you’ll find a new set of players that actually play smart poker and like to chat. If you have some friends, you can create your own private room and avoid that all together. It’s a relaxing game where you can meet new people and just chill in VR. It’s my social game where I go to unwind. Recent updates have seen them add craps and social poker rooms with slots and roulette. If you're looking to relax and play some poker, this free to play game will hit the spot. You can easily play this game for free and not ever spend a dime.
- Path of the Warrior ($19.99) From the developer: We interrupt this broadcast with breaking news...chaos in the streets of Rage City tonight! The myriad local gangs, once at constant war with each other have now unified under a mysterious new crime boss...Mr. S. Thugs have flooded the entire city, unleashing a wave of terror. The police are overwhelmed and the public is in imminent danger! Can anyone put a stop to the crime wave? Can anyone save Rage City? My thoughts: This fighting game is one that you can blow off steam with. It harkens back to the old Double Dragon or Final Fight arcade days and I highly recommend you play through this game with a friend as you’ll be laughing your way through it at the absurd combos and interactive objects and scenery you can use to defeat your foes. Find a bit of open room to play in, and punch your way through the game.

Expected Playtime: 50min - 1hr.

This one found its way into my queue and while it had a really unique setting, it was extremely buggy in one spot, to the point where I had to restart a section close to 20 times. I didn't find the end game satisfying, and with so many other great mods, it was a miss for me.
- Sheaf - Together EP (PC only, Free) From the developer: Enter virtual reality to listen to the debut EP “Together” of synthwave producer Sheaf. No gameplay involved -- just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music while you drive through a retro low poly world. The EP features 3 tracks, and each track comes with its own scenery, tailor made to fit its mood. You can start each track separately from the main menu.

Prepare for a tube-based, puzzle-filled, HAM-PACKED adventure with our charismatic leader: The BOSS. Here at TUBE Industries we provide the puzzles and you provide… the brains. No shady business here! My thoughts: I like to look at the new App Lab games that come out every now and then and I’m a sucker for a good puzzle game. This is a game where you connect mazes together for hamsters to run through. It was a weird story that sees you working with a Hamster CEO trying to save his company from the Board, which are all hamsters. Really weird stuff, but while the demo was fun, the puzzles were a bit on the simple side and ultimately, I just did not think it was worth buying at this point. That being said, if the demo grabs you I could see this being a fun few hours with new content planning to be added.
- Dart Racer (Free) From the developer: Dart Racer is an arcade racing game where you compete against AI during race and other players on the online leaderboards - features multiple race tracks and environments - steering based on throttle differential - interactive tutorial - customizable game and comfort settings - optional hand tracking. My thoughts: Now this is podracing! It really did feel like I was doing some classic Star Wars podracing, but it was quite tough to learn the controls. Once I got that figured out, there certainly was some fun to be had, but unfortunately, it just was okay for me and I dropped out after a bit. Give it a try for free, and keep in mind there are plenty of motion assists to play with so you don't get sick.
- Nock ($9.99) From the developer: Nock is bow and arrow soccer. Skate and fly around a pitch while using a bow and arrow to blast the ball into the other team’s goal. Compete in multiplayer ranked matches, or play casual custom games with your friends! Like a real sport, Nock is easy to learn but difficult to master. Block arrows let you create obstacles and you can even use your body to make a goal or save. A fast-moving ball can knock you out. Skill-based matchmaking keeps every game extremely close and competitive. Casual modes let you challenge yourself against bots or play with friends in custom matches. My thoughts: Rocket League but with archery. While I’m not a fan of archery games in general, this game really had the physics dialed in. I always felt like I was in full control of my movement and bow and arrow. Nothing ever felt like it was off, and the aiming was spot on. Every hit of the ball, or miss was my fault. An absolute blast with with up to four friends, and that’s how I recommend you play it - with friends. But there are leagues and tournaments readily available if get into the game. That being said, I’m pretty terrible at it, and will only play with friends who can tolerate my terrible skills.
- Into the Radius ($29.99) From the developer: An atmospheric open-world single-player survival shooter. You find yourself in the middle of the blighted zone, cut from the outside world. Your guns and your wits are all you have left. Fight the deadly enemies, dodge dangerous anomalies, and collect wondrous artifacts on your way to the Radius center to find your way out. My thoughts: I found myself constantly saying “I can’t believe this actually runs on a Quest.” The amount of items you can interact with, areas available to explore, systems to learn and missions to accept can be quite overwhelming. Honestly it took me about 5-7 hours of gameplay, tutorials and youtube videos until finally the game “clicked.” After this one fateful mission where I was over encumbered with items, low on ammo with minimal health and dealing with enemies at every turn, I was totally immersed and was having the time of my life. It was an absolute blast and despite being so tense - a joy to play. I did tone down the difficulty a bit, which made it much more playable and less punishing. Truly a great game if you like the loop of scavenging, planning your route ahead and making sure literally every bullet counts. While it lacks in story, it does have a lot of environmental details and little things that you have to find for yourself. If you like survival games, it’s almost perfect.
- Surgineer ($9.99) From the developer: Have you ever dreamed of being a real surgeon? Well… you are not gonna learn that here. Welcome to the most unrealistic surgery simulator where everyone can instantly become a terrible doctor. You will have to solve hilarious surgical procedures ranging from CPR to brain transplant or even removing alien eggs from a poor patient using a robotic arm! You always thought you had that surgeon in you? You better have a bulletproof malpractice insurance before getting your virtual hands on a patient! My thoughts: At such a low price point, I wasn’t expecting much. I remember playing Surgeon Simulator back in the day and this looked like that. Much to my disappointment it was much more terrible than I had hoped. Absolutely no fun was to be had here. I constantly fought with the controls, many times had no clue what to do and finally gave up in frustration. I understand part of the appeal is the wonkiness of it, but this game requires someone with a lot more patience than me to get some fun out of it.
There you have it, 21 different games played in three months. I would say there are plenty of games to play and enjoy on the Quest. I hope you find a few that you might not have heard of, or that you might find worth revisiting. Let me know on the Ruff Talk
Discord channel if you have a game you enjoy that I should try, I'm always open to recommendations. You can also find this article on the
