Hello and Goodbye PS VR 2
The longer I use VR, the pickier I become. I’m just not going to put up with a subpar experience on a new headset. I received my PS VR 2 last week and used it for a couple of days. Today, I am returning it. The headset itself is pretty great, and I don’t really…

I’m working on a VR side project that can be summed up as a narrative experience. The app will consist of approximately ten minutes of an audio discussion, with scene entities giving the appearance of reacting to the dialog. I needed a timeline to keep it all coordinated, so I built one. I made a…
Some personal news
“I deserve to be happy.” I have never believed that, and I still don’t, but I’m working on it.
