You know, in the 80s people often said things like "in 40 years, everything will have computers in them", and while they weren't wrong, they severely underestimated the situation.

I hate how all VR hardware (at least what I've used) wants to be a "plaatform" with a subscription and interface and all that shit instead of a computer peripheral. You know. The thing they are
