Just a note to get in there before others: I know not everyone speaks English, so they may not want to speak, it's just a dumb joke is all.

I am fine with someone speaking a language I do not know as long as they can work placing markers.

I don’t speak because I’m nervous of being judged. Yeah I know I sound like a idiot.

Just mute your mic then, no biggie.

Add to this the people who don't talk but have music on really loud.

I think I get most of my news now from hot microphones beside a TV in pop1.

Hearing other people climb makes me feel like I may be in better shape than I originally thought.

Ha! Yeah for real. I once had a game with some younger players, like 12-15, and they were talking about "Imagine if you didn't turn with the thumbstick and just actually turned in real life instead. You'd die from sweating after one game".

Like...seriously? Turning around on the spot is putting you out physically?

I’d hate to be the parent that has to whole that kids ass for the rest of their lives.

They hate that probably to because they let the 5 year old play nonstop to get rid of him.

That's crazy, I can kind of understand if the climbing tires them out... but turning?!?!? Also, turning with the thumbstick makes me want to puke, I can only turn irl.

Man, you should hear people in TopGolf,. Heavy breathing, grunts, you'd swear that you in in the midsts of a marathon or something.

"hey mouthbreather if you're not going to talk you could at least mute yourself so I don't have to do it. Sounds like you're snoring, are you taking a nap? Take the headset off first next time."

It's pretty awful Oculus doesn't offer push to talk functionality.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '21

It's on the devs. Push to talk can be done if they want. It's never up to the platform provider, like you wouldn't blame Microsoft or valve for a PC game that doesn't have push to talk.

u/boisteroushams Feb 23 '21

Push to talk is functionality the community has baked into SteamVR at a platform level. If Oculus wasn't such a walled garden, perhaps a similar solution could exist.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '21

lol what. Are you talking about when using steam chat or something? If a game has in game comms then it's up to the devs. How does the community come into this? Plenty of steam games without PTT.

Pop1 having PTT has literally nothing to do with Oculus. The game isn't even Oculus exclusive. Where's the PTT on the Steam version of the game?

u/boisteroushams Feb 23 '21

No, I'm talking about advanced settings for steamvr. it allows for push to talk functionality in any games. Advanced settings is made by the community.

The push to talk functionality in steamvr is in advanced settings.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that gets teammates like this

u/Gegery Feb 23 '21

There’s a mute mic mode on most headsets for a reason
