On a Quest, A Poor Read

I believe I mentioned I bought Katie a Quest 2 VR headset for Christmas which she has been loving.  What I didn’t mention was I also bought one for Cindy that arrived yesterday.  This may sound crazy to most but there are VR games/experiences that you can do with others in real time which we really wanted to try.  We did just that last night.  Cindy, Katie and I joined up in a virtual group which puts you into real time voice communications with anyone in your party, no matter what game you are playing which is cool. I was in the great room while Cindy was in the bedroom.

We decided to play Beat Saber which was hilarious, challenging, and tiring all at the same time.  As expected I finished third out of three every game except some strange level where the blocks are more or less invisible, for some reason I did ok there.  I bet in total we were grouped up together for close to two hours.  Cindy really likes the apps that transport you to magnificent virtual spaces where you can interact, change, or just relax inside of them.  On our next get together we plan to meet up for some virtual bowling which should be fun.  It’s crazy how we all wound up getting thrust into the VR experience but it really is a cool way to have shared fun and memorable experiences.

I was laughing out loud repeatedly when Donald came on TV right after the house voted to impeach him for the second time, something no president has ever accomplished in history.  It’s nice he can add that to his resume of debauchery.  The speech was the polar opposite of everything that has been spewing from Trump’s mouth when he is allowed to choose his own words.  Obviously his handlers were trying to avoid what appears to be a possibility, the senate actually approving impeachment this time.  The speech was what should have been said the moment the election results were official and to hear Mr Big League read the hollow words now was utterly meaningless as the entire world knows he didn’t mean a single sentence.

Of course it is extremely self serving and transparent that some republican lawmakers are now willing to impeach Don since the Trump train is fully engulfed in flames but hey at the least the end result will be appropriate.  Mitch McConnell has to be loving this. He has a chance to give Don a large one finger salute as the walls close in on him.
