Seven years later and, just as everyone expected, it's the Microsoft Hololens. Only somehow uglier.

I walked past a GameStop over the weekend. They had a big ol' sandwich board up for The Invisible Hours, I think, which included the puff quote "a must-try game for people who are bored with VR."

I know one guy who bought a PSVR. I know four guys who started VR companies. One of them owns an oculus, and that's because he got one of his customers to buy it for him. I literally gave my stupid Pixel VR glasses or whateverthefuckthey'recalled to Goodwill.

Nobody wants this. Nobody ever wanted this.

Nice tats, bro.

    Abovitz said he frequently traveled to Kitty Hawk and the Saturn 5 building for inspiration.

Couldn't help but smile at this quote; especially reminded me of the Gallileo ref from the other day. Man, tech people have really high opinions of themselves.

No one cares how dumb your glasses look when you're sitting in a dark bedroom spankin' it

On the bright side, haptic feedback for the use-case users actually have is going to be a much easier problem for whoever decides to solve it than haptic feedback for the use-cases VR nerds actually wanted to solve it for.
