6.866. A Handful of Thoughts

On to it then….

  1. The limited amount of viable games on the current gen of stand alone VR argues that it has not hit market cap. The system is nascent still and needs more providers developing solid content. I cannot get half the stuff on Oculus I can get on Playstation. Yet I can get most of what I get on Oculus on PS. The lack of an Iron man game on Oculus is a real miss. Instead I get Tony Stark’s Lab… junk.
  2. That being said, I do enjoy VR immensely and expect to spend more time in virtual space this summer. It will be even better once I figure out how to do Rift games on the Quest 2.
  3. Sports are strange. So much so that it outwardly looks rigged. Teams exchanging home blowouts in the playoffs is… odd.
  4. Something else that is odd: The term Gotham was coined re: New York by Washington Irving in a rag he wrote up called the Salmagundi. The name stuck. It took a while. It took the Batman references of the 40’s to make it stick, but it stuck.
  5. I find odd stuff when I am researching for a project.
  6. I ought to research more. Perhaps the best part of college (and definitely the best part of working at the Library) was finding interesting things.
