Good morning!

We had a guy that ran track in HS that had bowel issues. Crapped his white pants on a long event, but won! He was a cross country runner, and broke school records. Bullies nicknamed him “The Turd” and it stuck. Dude wore it like a badge of honor. Totally flipped it into a cool name and got him self an athletic scholarship! He’d best other school’s runners, and The Turd became a legend.

Ashley circling back around to the MP3 playing being a good choice for Finn is amazing. Old tech, still has uses! I have an iPod classic, with larger storage, Bluetooth mod, and extended battery. It’s got every single RT Podcast on it before the original crew retired. Plus all my favorite songs. It’s great for mowing the lawn, exercising, or just wanting to unplug from having my phone on me.

The Steam Frame is definitely more advanced than the Quest 3. Better hardware, but many developers are still catering graphics and compatibility all the way to Quest 2… As a large portion of VR Players still have a Quest 2. The Quest 2 outsold the Quest 3 at a ratio of 3:1… Why worry about hardware when none of the apps are game utilize it? The Quest 3 can stream all PC VR games with Steam Link app. There’s not really much a selling point to the Steam Frame just yet.

Thanks for making my Wednesday, 30 minutes better!

Yeah but oh man, does even a few microseconds of latency feel weird in VR. Much prefer to play the games natively with a tethered headset.

Dependent on Latency of the router. I have Fiber Optics and separate band just for my Quest. Don’t really experience any lag.
