VR Chat is Better

No matter how many times I re-measured, Rec Room would make my avatar 4'10" or shorter. There's no way to input your height manually for some reason. The main menu, which takes the form of a watch so that you can open it by holding your watch in front of your face, would only open if I held my arm smack against my face and if I moved my head to read it, would disappear. My character was also stuck in a crouching position. This may also be an issue caused by the incorrect height.
Ignoring all this, entered a few hangout rooms with my friend. A few of the rooms I recognized from VR Chat. Some of the rooms were plagued with objects that you couldn't interact with unless you paid with in-game currency, such as a plushie my avatar wasn't allowed to pick up unless I paid for it.
Admittedly I didn't spend much time with Rec Room as I was having such a clunky onboard experience with it. Just felt like time I could've spent playing VR Chat instead.
