    If you have a solid gaming PC, yes. There is no immersion quite like VR. No amount of monitors will get you there.

    It’s a bit of a faff each time you want to get it going (having to start the link each time), at least compared to a dedicated headset like the original Rift. The Quest 3 is a bit pricy, the 3S and 2 not so much. There’s a few decent exclusives for the 3 that aren’t even available on PC, so of the two I’d get the 3S.

    Low framerate will make you dizzy. The resolution not so much. You will need a decent GPU.

    Most VR games are fairly small and low budget affairs. The big exception is Half Life Alyx which is amazing. The game I come back to the most is VRChat, just for the massive number of worlds that people have made. It will help you get your VR legs over time.









  • I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!

    Is pretty clear that people are unhappy and want change.

    There’s no meaningful change to be had. The political parties and their funders have got very wealthy the way things are, and they’d like to keep it that way thank you very much.

    The whole process in almost every country in undemocratic as shit. We need to be able to vote and have referendums on individual policies. Few people are 100% behind any candidate. What if you want abortions but hate immigrants? What if you’re transgender but still think corporations should be able to stomp all over us?
