Boo!
A couple friends have collapsing relationships right now. In both cases (unsurprisingly, in my experience) it's the guy who fucked up and made poor choices and the gal who was long-suffering and finally had had enough. So the wife and I are playing support our lady-friends bingo. I'm so glad both these women are successful professionals, because that makes disentangling a lot easier for them. In one case the guy, however, is not, so that particular situation could have some mess involved since Ohio is a no-fault state.

Yay!
Been having some easier parenting days this past weekend and week. Every once in a while we play Mario Odyssey together, my kid and I. He likes to bounce me to my death and mess with my camera, which is a little frustrating, but I may be taking the game too seriously. Maybe I just need to lighten up.

Aside from the price and lack of variety, any particular reason why?

Because you haven't stopped talking about moving for ten years and a VR headset is 1/4 of the money you need to move...

For something that pricey you want to establish a firm "Why should I buy?" case rather than a "Why shouldn't I buy?" case. Simply put, you don't have a PC that can run almost anything worth running in VR. You would have so little available to you. It would be a pointless gadget. It would be throwing away money that you have many other uses for.

Because you'll literally never be able to move to New Bern let alone New York if you don't stop spending money on frivolous things.

Sweet! Let’s all take over an apartment building and set up a LAN with Ethernet cables snaked throughout the building for some LAN parties.
