Are HighFOV headsets dead? Is it not as good of an experience?

I wanted to upgrade my vr setup from HTC Vive to Pimax 5k - which I wanted for years. But then I realised that at this point pimax 5k is hella old. But looking at the market I dont think there are any high FOV headsets made anymore.

Its like every headset now is just quest 3(which I would never buy). Steam Frame, PICO 4 Ultra - or even the new pimax headset - the company that literally made the highFOV headsets - Pimax Dream Air(btw I think it costing 2k is wild). Its essentially all the same type of headset now. The only outlier is bigscreen beyond 2e really.

So quesiton to people who were able to experience something like pimax 5k, 8k or any other very high fov headset: was the experience just...not that good? I like my htc but anytime I use it, it feels like Im looking through...well - goggles. I was hoping that highFOV would change that. But maybe for the last few years ive been focusing on the wrong thing.

Problems with using rememberance got during coop.

I was playing with some friends yesterday and we killed 2 bosses - both times I had a problem with using rememberances. We played on shared progression. We killed the guy with the spear first and despite picking up the rememberance - it didnt allow me to use it. Then we went to the ice part and killed the child boss. I also got her rememberance and it also didnt allow me to use it at the seller. But at that point I also noticed the previous boss's rememberance started working - not sure why or how. When I go into the area on my singleplayer world cutscene plays everytime but there is no boss for me to kill. I even clensed both the red glows after bosses but it didnt fix(had to do it on my singleplayer world because firend didnt want to progress because of some npc whatever thing).

Is there a way to fix this without resetting the whole world? I dont really want to play the game from the start.

I wish we could build our weapons the same way we can build our cars

Like imagine if instead of spudgun we would just get a gun platform on which you could build stuff. Like if you wanted a spud gun you just place a spudgun and connect it to the trigger, if you wanted a shotgun - you mount two spudguns; if you want a machine gun you place a gun and create a logic loop for it.

You could even go further like mounting a small drill on it or a saw. Of course the system would need some kind of limitation like being able to build only in 5x5x10 radious around the gun or something like that. But it just would be so much fun

How does one get such a nice purple overlay?

Ive seen a few guardians in tower with this. Still no clue how to get it though. I tried google but I havent found any info(partially because I dont know what its called)

Guys...like what the hell? I was actually interested in this crate only to see this. I know there is always SOME differences between male and female skins but this is just on another level.

I mean I know male skins always look better so I should have gotten used to this - but I was really expecting something similar in style...or at least the same colour.

Now is a definite pass for me. Wanted this cool techno-wear style black and red skin. But I aint spending money on ANOTHER pink skin when other pink skins are cheaper...

I feel like my pc is running slower than it should.

Some time ago(year or 1.5?) I bought a new gpu. I upgraded from GTX1060 6gb to RTX4070ts 16gb. I updated all the drivers of course and started using it. And after playing with it for some time now it just feels slower than it should. Is there a way to check some kind of bench how it compares to other PCs with similar specs? I have plenty of space, Im running system on m2 drive and games too(on the other m2 drive)

I recently returned to my long time game(Scrap Mechanic) and its running visibly worse now than it did with my old gpu. Even in a new world.

My hardware: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, motherboard B550M DS3H, 64gb ram DDR4, RTX 4070ts 16gb vram.

Im not all that knowledgable with PCs so Im not really sure how to even check what is wrong with the pc. And yes I do turn it off and on, doesnt help. AI told me it could be some kind of old gpu drivers but I would prefer to hear opinions of professionals.

Thank you for any and all answers.
