my rational brain is just telling me just to get an occulus rift

Not gonna lie, VR ping pong is actually amazing. There are several ping-pong sims that get the physics juuuuust right. And then there's stuff like Racket NX, which just takes the concept to the next level:

Although to be honest, that trailer looks kinda dumb (in 2D)...but being INSIDE the space in VR playing Racket NX is pretty sick, man. It's VERY immersive.

problem is i would have to take public transportation to get there. also, another thing i fear is when i actually get there, people are unenthusiastic about the table sport or It's dead or empty, thus making my trip there a waste and crushing my hopes of getting into a sport with people irl

Do they have pickleball where you live? It's like whiffleball meets tennis using jumbo ping-pong paddles. It's actually stupid amounts of fun...
