That genre is mind-blowing in VR. Have you considered an hp reverb and a cheap monitor instead?

I had one option for a backpack skin available from the deluxe version (don't judge), but that was all so far. I haven't finished any major quest lines though,
I think they made the right call too. It's better for almost everyone. A lot of flight sim types are also techies, so I bet the mods will bias that way.
I'm having a great time, but I also love FO4 and No Man's Sky. The toe-dip I've done into colony building shows that they put real thought into Astroneer-like automated manufacturing stuff, which is my crack, and something I missed in NMS and FO4. It's also clear from the first city that they know how depressing FO4 is, and wanted to add more variety.
Story and characters are a cut above any other Bethesda game so far, but that's not saying much. My wife is replaying BG3 next to me, and it makes Starfield's writing look amateurish by comparison. It's not the core of the game though, so eh.
Downsides so far have been that the minor planets/moons don't have much to do, and that inventory management is annoying with how much crafting components weigh.
Ship combat is... Fine. It's not as intricate as Elite: Dangerous or SW:Squadrons (for sim gamers, weapons are all on REALLY forgiving gimbals, which makes precision unnecessary), but not actively bad like NMS VR. I think it's a good compromise, because not everyone wants to deal with a realistic sim in what is essentially a minigame.
It's also complex, which is good, but adds some awkwardness to the beginning.
Root cause? The complexity of English makes it an absurd choice for a worldwide standard.
FWIW, as a native speaker, "much more images" is incorrect enough that seeing it would tell me that the author's first language isn't English.
Having complex and arbitrary grammatical rules solely to telegraph education sucks though, so vive la revolution.
Love that cozy sci-fi. The Last Gifts of the Universe was also really good. Mostly a story about people in space.
As far as I understand, energy is conserved. Light inside a closed box will ultimately turn to heat too.
Scorn was worth a shot if you've already played Soma and RE. The mechanics are... Fine. The art is jaw-dropping. It's like Amnesia if H. R. Giger had been the art director.
Don't forget a bathroom trash can with a bag.
There's a difference between allowing speech about a thing and embracing the thing. This is a classic case of embrace, extend, extinguish.
If you're interested, I'd look into what happened with XMPP and Google talk. XMPP was a federated chat service. Google Talk became compatible with it, and instantly became the most popular client for it.
It then broke compatibility slowly, pushing more people from other XMPP clients onto Google talk.
They finally removed it completely, and because they were the most popular client, XMPP users moved to Google talk to maintain their connections to other users. The protocol basically ceased to exist.
People are broadly assuming that's Meta's plan with threads and Mastodon, because it's an extremely common way for corporations to get rid of open systems.
If I were you, I'd look into something like the HP Reverb G2 that has inside-out tracking (no external cameras or lighthouses). The immersion you get with VR is way beyond anything you can get from a screen.
My full setup a Vive Pro 2 with a VKB HOSAS setup and a YawVR 2, and it feels spectacular, though getting interdicted the first time almost made me piss myself.
