It's a niche problem, but the games subverse doesn't allow memes, so here ya go. (lemmynsfw.com)

Yeah. And I guess there were some people who really got into that ecosystem, and that sucks for them. But I guess not enough of them, in the end.

The real scary thing is the whole Apple headset, coming along and disrupting the whole VR situation. I mainly just want to keep playing Hotdogs Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, and whatever VR games come to the game bundle scene, in peace.

But I'd also really appreciate it if devs remembered that left-handed people exist. Looking directly at the No Man's Sky devs, while I'm saying this. They have updated that game so many goddamn times, but just no love for lefty VR users.

EDIT: later, I'll have to go check the recent patch notes, in the year-and-a-half since I've played it, just to make sure it hasn't been added.

I have a Reverb G2 so I'm one of them.

Thing is, for gaming you can just use SteamVR and they would be responsible for the controller mapping. You can also install all kinds of OpenXR layers that no doubt deal with this.

Wait...I never realized that. The same Steam control re-mapping that works outside of VR will work with VR controllers?

I have to go and see about this, later. I feel like a moron.

Please report back, I tried like a year and a half ago and nothing worked.

Will do. I am slightly, like, daunted by the prospect, because I find Steam's interface for remapping controllers to be powerful, yet more than a little obtuse. It SEEMS straightforward, all the way up until you actually start to remap stuff, but then things never seem to work the way you think you've set them up.

Yeah I've had some remapping shenanigans happen too, most lately on my now borked deck (don't leave it plugged in when a cat is nearby lol), bit I haven't tried remapping anything in vr.

Condolences on your deck. I had some luck remapping the Steam Controller, and I've done a little bit on my deck. The thing I'm curious about is how that interface will handle the "which hand is which" situation. Remapping buttons to act as other buttons is straightforward enough. Telling the interface that I just want the right hand to exist as the left hand, and vice versa? That seems like it'll be weird.

Anyway, I'll give it a try when I have time and report back.
