Personally speaking, if I'm going to put on a VR headset, I want to get lost in an immersive world and go on a serious adventure. The bar of production/gameplay value that'll make me go through the hassle of being in VR is *high*. It's similar to convincing me to go see a movie in theaters. I'm not going to a theater to watch even the best YouTube videos, but if you're offering up a 2 hour block of entertainment—and hit a certain quality bar—you'll get me into the theater. There's two ways to tackle this challenge. One is higher quality games, the other is a lower friction VR experience (the less hassle it is to get into VR, the bar for what will get people over that hump is lowered). IMO both sides need to be focused on.

hard to believe there was once a time where they’d send a big yellow book to everyone’s house listing yours and everyone else’s assassination coordinates

The Quest 2 is the iPhone 4. Spent 4 hours on it last night and completely flipped my opinions. More Quests sold than Xboxes last year. The Star Wars game made me feel like a Jedi. Watched some 6K videos and felt intimately present. If you build things, buy one to be informed

The House of Faberge made 52 "Imperial" eggs as Easter gifts for Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II to give to their wives and moms. 46 of these survive. I will rank all 46 Imperial Faberge eggs.

That this Executive Order was implemented so poorly—without agency guidance or consultation—it shows this wasn't about national security.
