He has wanted to try VR for a long time, but is very poor and from a rough part of Mexico. I sent him my VR set-up in good faith that he wouldn't pawn it and delete me, and sure enough he had the time of his life with RE8 & Beatsaber and sent it back after two weeks.
There is no bromance like two gamers who have never met š¤ š¤

Met a online girl that was in my WoW guild. We really hit it off, started talking offline, eventually decided to meet up in person. I took a flight halfway across the country to meet her (I’m from Detroit, she lived in Arkansas). Ended up losing my luggage, then got the shit kicked out of me by her husband (Turns out she was married and was having an affair). I left with a couple broken ribs, no cash, and eventually stopped playing WoW because of it.
Edit: Since people are asking, we met up at an Applebees and had dinner. She was super flirty and invited me back to her place to play videogames (I think it was Burnout 3 or something). Her husband came home early from a work trip and confronted her. I tried to intervene, but he sucker punched me and kicked me in the ribs when I was down. I left and got on the first flight home… Never thought about pressing charges, haven’t talked to her since.
I once loaned someone $100 to fix a broken transmission and they blocked me on all socials.
So, 2 months or 2 weeks?
Glad to see that there’s still some good in people.
2 months* can’t edit after post, my b
Also, Mexico is not overseas from Canada* I’m actually just very dumb, also my b
legendary, he’s a keeper for sure.
Awesome šš» but are you keeping it in that wood stand thingā¦I feel as though thatās going to cause it to overheat and kill the system. I donāt have a ps5 so idk where its cooling vents are located; just wanted to put it out there.
What was the shipping cost?
Iām glad you have faith in humanity, but that was a pretty dumb move. Glad it worked out though
I used to have endless heated arguments with a guy from one of my old gaming communities. I found out he was at risk of becoming homeless and I decided to contact him and lend him enough cash to get him out of the shithole town he lived in. About a year later he paid me back in full and now we are best buddies.
I envy youā¦
I let my best friend borrowed my steam deck to try it out for a week and it came back with scratches on the screen, broken left analog stick and the oily hand lotion all over it.
I ended up buying the OLED Steam deckā¦
I sent it to my brother, and his cat chewed through the cords
Thats actually super fucking cool!
Real quick- I was about to get a vr2 but then someone told me about some new oculus vr that doesn’t require a pc or console. And has all the games and half the cost.
Is that true? Is vr2 really good?
I’m glad you had somebody that was truthful ain’t nothing like a good gaming bro. Back in my PS3 days I had a dude like that we played call of duty and I used to buy pretty much every game. One day he was like he didn’t have money to buy games and I had a bunch of games he said he wanted to play. So I shipped them to him, back then in my early 20’s shipping wasn’t cheap sending like 30 games. He never played any of those games I sent him, but I seen he had the newest Madden or 2K. Basically I gave him my games and he traded them in, I was pissed.
For real, one of my best friends is from USA and Iām from Canada, weāve never met IRL but we met on Xbox and still play to this day, we met around 2015
I never let online buds borrow equipment (none ever asked, I’ve shared accounts before with them), but I’ve let friends borrow consoles before. If I’m not using it, may as well see some use.
Man it’s hard enough to get your gear back from actual mates you’ve known for half of your life let alone a complete gaming stranger.
What’s the next move? š
When I was 17 I had an airsoft gun I was wanting to sell. A long time gaming buddy from day of defeat offered to trade me his airsoft gun for mine. I told him I had been ripped off before and didnāt feel comfortable just sending out a gun with no money and no guarantees.
He said ādonāt worry dude whatās your addressā and sent me his gun and a bunch of goodies. It felt so nice that he trusted me that much. I quickly sent him the gun I had promised and it made me realize friends online are like friends in real life.
How did you lend him PSVR2 games?
Since there are so few physical disk versions of PSVR2 games, and almost all of them are digital download only.
Beatsaber for example is digital only.
RE8 is available on disk, but primarily because it’s also a normal flat game.
Ok.
Why the hell noone acknowledged the abomination of a stand yet
Cool
I am willing to put $50 towards a fund to buy your friend a VR setup if others here are willing.
…
***how did you get something through fedex intact***
I’m amazed it made it through the post safe and sound.
Ay man, sweet stuff
Gaming friends > IRL friends lol
Met my online bestfriend 15 years ago on call of duty world at war. We shared accounts on everything we played together. Spent many nights playing until the sun rose. I always wanted to meet him but he lived in Texas. He got into an accident that left him with a terminal brain injury. I decided that I needed to see him before he left. I flew to Texas in December to see my bestfriend for the first time. And the last. He was in St. Christopherās Hospice and passed away January 2nd. I miss him so much, I wish I could have seen him more or sent him something of mine. Cherish your gaming buddy. He will be there for life as the realest friend because online is in fact real life. God damn I wish I could go back and play one more game. Visit him one more time. Iām happy that your friend sent the VR back, that was very nice of him and you as well for letting him borrow it.
I loaned a āfriendā $100 for groceries because he was struggling to feed his kids. He bought some trash food and a video game. Lost that 220 pound tumor and feel better for it.
Had a buddy I played a ton of habbo hotel with, we were “business partners” and ran a casino together. He needed to get into my account for some reason or another, I really can’t remember, but I let him do it and he immediately changed my accounts and ghosted me for a day. Then said he felt bad and gave me access back lol
Classy move OP. Very nice of you.
I’m sure he beat the saber alright.
You must have the opposite of trust issues
That’s fuckin wholesome. I have half a mind to buy that guy a Psvr2 now..Ā
I loaned a guy I know from gaming $5000 and he actually wrote up a contract and he then paid back the 5k within the time stipulated on the contract.
You almost had me in the first half.
He used it for porn
Gamers looking out for each other still exist.
This makes me so happy. š„¹
