>can i actually do vr things while remaining seated?
yes

>I dont really have that much space anyway.
stand up and t pose, do a 360. if you have a decent amount of space to move your arms in that circumference without hitting furniture then turn on the safety barrier and you'll be fine for anything that isn't strictly roomscale.

>Also what would be the absolute cheapest i can go?
if you're ok with getting zucced then the quest 2, otherwise you can look at the used market or try to get a WMR headset (probably have to look for them used as well.)

pretty much, plus you get the option of wireless though you'd want to tether it to your PC so you can play games without it looking like shit. other downsides are iirc it has a worse screen than other options and it uses inside out tracking instead of lighthouse so the tracking's worse than the index or the vive but you probably don't give a shit about that.
