I decided to revisit No Man's Sky on my PC with the Quest 3 and see how it runs these days via Virtual Desktop. I've previously mentioned how the PSVR2 is (on balance) the best way to play NMS currently, but perhaps I was too hasty in that assessment?
Note: This wasn't originally intended to pit the PC version of NMS against the PSVR2 version, but as my ramblings progressed it sort of turned into that.

[4:23] Consistency is king
[5:12] Reprojection implementation differences between platforms
[6:30] Quest 3/VD improvements of compression artifacts
[7:19] Consistency IS king
[8:10] Closing thoughts
