Getting back into VR most of my time, as with when I had this setup before, has been spent sweating in Beat Sabre. This is probably the most exercise I’ve gotten in a while. Getting into the rhythm of a song with your body in a very literal way is incredibly satisfying, and it helps that standing on an unmoving stage helps with a lot of the disorientation and motion sickness that many VR games can cause.

I don’t really know what most of the built-in songs are or what the campaign mode even does, I just use it to play custom maps that people have made. My main rotation is a lot of Toby Fox tracks, some Sonic the Hedgehog music, and a smattering of old favourite songs and silly bullshit. I do tend to go back to the Deltarune and Undertale tracks over and over, though—the energetic but fairly straightforward melodies are prefect for this kind of workout. A lot of people have done really fun things with how they map out tracks as well. Two of my favourites are the “Death By Glamour” track I have downloaded making one rapidly do disjointed at the start, like Metaton, and “I'll Make a Man Out of You” having one act out training activities like swimming at certain parts of the song.

Cohost playlists

Caoimhe ⬥ 26th of November 2024

One of the habits I had on Cohost was making some specific daily posts. I didn’t always get around to it, there were long stretches of times where I didn’t post any of these, but on my main account I liked to post a song of the day and I had a few side accounts too. One of them I posted intros to TV shows, games, movies etc. and another where I posted joke Sonic Heroes teams.

I don’t plan on continuing these but I have gone through the posts and made an archive of song of the day and intro posts in the form of Youtube playlists. I had to find alternatives to some videos that have been taken down or upload some myself that were not originally Youtube videos and they will continue to succumb to link rot but for the moment they are, I think, complete archives of what I posted.

They are also very long. The intros playlist is a little over nine hours and the song of the day one is technically over two days long but it includes a couple of joke ten hour videos and also an entire movie score but even discounting those it’s still almost twice as long as the intros playlist.

Due to the nature of Youtube playlists I can’t put warnings on the videos but some videos in both have some flashing lights and there’s at least one video in both that talks about or depicts suicide.

Also it looks like the embedded versions of the playlists below are limited to two hundred videos and some videos won’t play embedded so click through to Youtube for the full thing.
