I saved up for a Quest 2 the cheapest option for a VR headset about $300.
There was no way to connect to the pc that I knew of so I was what vrchat players called a "questie" But my friends didn't care, they already had a few friends that were quest people so that was good.
Then something happened to the friend group and I wasn't prepared for this to happen to my first ever vrchat group a fight happened between a couple about a breakup and it went bad and the vrchat group broke up and I joined the girl's side because I knew them longer than the boy.
Then I finally figure out how to become a normal player of vrchat.
