Cables and Me<\/strong> (and why I ‘can’t have nice things’<\/span>)<\/em>
\nGot back in VR about 10:20PM or something around that time, can’t remember, after finally completing the three blog posts I wanted to get off my chest.
\nBefore I got back in VR, I was looking for the cleaning cloth that came with the
\nheadset (as the right lens had a smudge on it). Thought I had it in the dresser.
\n–
\nHad the headset on my bed, thought my right foot had cleared the cable (I was being as careful as I could be).. pretty sure you know where this is going, because the headset was then laying upside down, on the floor. \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f
\nAwesome, just awesome. haven’t even owned this thing for a DAY and I’m TRYING TO FUCKING BREAK IT JUST LIKE MY OLD ONE (by accident)!!! \ud83e\udd2c
\nThis room’s dark-brown carpet, with black cables sitting on it.. they do not mix<\/span><\/em>!! \ud83d\ude14 GOD<\/strong> I hate this room so much<\/strong>!! ..And as I was typing this, I noticed I was rolling over the headset cable with my fucking chair’s wheels!!
\nI need wireless.. everything. Wireless phone and headphone chargers too! Cables should NOT be on this floor, PERIOD!!
\n*takes a deep breath, trying to calm down*<\/em>

\n“You only need one base station!” -Jusper<\/strong><\/em>
\nAlright, so back in VR. Not really much going on, Kovo and all of his friends are playing another game, members of my poly are all offline. Didn’t see cola once yesterday. Hours later, things finally stared picking up when I saw Blue online.
\nHours after that (when things were starting to die down), Jusper comes on. First time I saw him while in VR, so I’m kind of nervous (remembering what happened the last time I saw him when I had VR).
\nNo issues with the headset (this time). He’s telling me that I should had gotten the Vive instead. Told him I did, at a time, then said how it’s not even possible to get tripods to work for the base stations, with how my room’s configuration is.
\nHe told me “you only need one base station”. Hmm. Made me think this morning, if I was to put one of those clips on the top of my secondary monitor (as it’s higher and pointed at me), and use it to hold the base station. Interesting idea, might work.
\nOr put the clip on the bottom of my atomic clock. The base station there should have a clear line of sight.<\/p>\n

Definitely something to think about, but I don’t know. Mainly, because the Vive’s cables go over your head and down your back. Saw a picture where some guy nailed hooks on their ceiling, holding the cables.. and I seriously<\/strong><\/em> doubt my parents would be OK with that option.
\nKeep thinking about accidentally running over my headset’s cable with my chair. Think about running over THREE cables coming from the Vive headset. Ugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
