    Former vive owner here. Beat saber isn’t a novelty it is legitimately something to spend dozens of hours on. I’m buying either a frame or a used index specifically for beat saber.

          Dozens of dozens!

          I play about an hour every day unless I’m sick, away, or (painfully) injured. I think my most recent play streak was over 6 months of playing every day without a single day off.

          I’m a 48yo, BTW 😁👍

            Wow! Must’ve been a great workout, or at least according to my friend that played it.

              Back when Meta’s calorie tracking feature still existed (yep, they removed it so it wouldn’t compete with their fitness tracking investments and partnerships!) it used to say I burned 650-750 calories/night. Some days I burned over 1300 👍

          Absolutely! Beat Saber is the best!

          I’m in the GENX clan where we have grandmothers capturing maps for the clan by getting some absurd level of accuracy on 1-5 ⭐ (aka super easy) maps. Clan Wars on BeatLeader is a silly thing that doesn’t mean anything in particular but it still amazes me that someone in their 60s can play a VR game and actually make a real, quantifiable difference.

          On our Discord you can see the BeatLeader Clan Wars announcements in the “Battle Dispatch” channel. On any given day you really could see something like:

          EvilKittyMom captured BREAKSH!T Hard for GENX, getting 98.17% ACC

          (That’s an imaginary name I just made up to protect the totally guilty party that often steals my thunder 🤣)

          It’s so much fun, I love it! ❤️
