Reactivated an email account on a service I haven’t used in maybe 8-10 years to receive a verification code from another service just to try and remember what happened precisely circa 2015. I’m getting ads on the email service rather than verification codes.

One of the reasons I pour a tremendous amount of time into covering Walkabout, doing a design tour each release, is because I see them as barometer of the overall VR market. If their creative engine can’t run then VR as a games platform is truly in trouble.

Nobody wants to hear about the man holding a dead pigeon in his hand while talking COVID-19 and the illuminati but I’m not over it and sharing insanity is some of what Bluesky is for. So I’m sorry, but I’m not over it yet, and you must hear about this again.

Good Virtual Reality isn't physically at Meta Connect but there's more to come virtually. Here's my initial breakdown of what's brewing in VR glasses between Apple & Meta. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/meta-vr-gl...

3D movies, live sports, and backward compatibility with Quest games promise real reasons to visit VR more often. When does John Ternus answer with Apple Vision?

I’m just trying to understand something here. Are you telling me that there’s now a paragraph in the history of VR about the invention of the ability to get effed by a fly brain? Am I understanding this right?

Now posting Good Virtual Reality mainly to Bluesky, LinkedIn, and Substack. Recent podcast interviews introduce VR as both a medium and personal computing platform, from seniors socializing in standalone to recording podcasts in Chrome downloaded directly to a linux headset.

This is messed up. Go in my feed to see me getting Voyager and TOS for $15 each and begging for DS9 at that rate. Looks like I missed my window.

One of the best episodes of the Good VR Podcast yet talks with Norman Chan of Tested about the path from Oculus Rift DK1 to Steam Frame. Even better, we recorded this conversation in a pair of linux desktops in fully immersive standalone Steam Frames.

Just recorded a podcast with an organizer behind a senior center group in VRChat. From posting on Bulletin Board Systems in the 1980s to world hopping in VRChat in the 2020s is quite the journey through the ages of the Internet.

I'm playing Stardew Valley on Switch orig RIGHT NOW and being able to see my whole farm sounds sublime. 😹

Meanwhile I’d argue Steam Frame is the ideal way to play Stardew Valley on a canvas that shows your whole farm at once.

I wonder how many people are kicking themselves for not picking the 256 GB. What is the likelihood they had far fewer 1 TB on hand than 256 GB?

I used an external USB-connected microphone but Norm just used the internal microphone on Steam Frame. Both voices were run through the same filter I use for every episode.

I’m likely to start recording my podcasts in Steam Frame going forward given how successful this first test was. I am TIRED. Just gotta drop that Stripe link one more time. Support independent journalism. buy.stripe.com/7sY8wPeTAcnG...
