I was just driving around the beaches of Pinellas County (Tampa Bay area) today. Entire neighborhoods are destroyed. Beach front condos, restaurants and stores, also destroyed. In many areas, anything ground level got flooded/wrecked by storm surge. I saw several boats in places there are not supposed to be boats.

If Tampa Bay takes a direct hit right now it’s going to be really fuckin bad for a lot of people.

What’s also scary is that right now everyone has been piling up debris, ruined appliances and all manor of belongings outside for disposal. Piles ten feet high along every street. All this shit is about to be flying around in hurricane force winds and storm surge. Is a recipe for disaster.

Pico 4 is fantastic right out of the box with pancakes. The games library isn’t as vast but most of the big hits are available. And of course you can connect to a PC and play Steam games. Pico also has full body tracking coming out this holiday season.

That feeling you’re experiencing right now is how I felt ages ago when the windows key became a thing.

There’s been a 40% chance of another storm right in the gulf for the last week. It’s possible that the same devastated area gets hit again before they’ve even had a chance to figure out what happened last week.

I got into VR during the pandemic which allowed me to socialize at any time (often in the wee hours) in VRChat. It absolutely helped my mental state at the time. I also discovered countless people using VR for other mental and physical health reasons. Ended up with a girlfriend who moved to my state (going on four years now). There are also worlds specifically for chilling out, sightseeing, nature etc. I would highly highly recommend it to anyone for VRChat alone (which is also free).

Eventually I branched out into other games and now I can’t go back to flat first person games. The immersion of VR can’t be described.

So yeah, 100% get a headset. Meta just announced new prices so you can get started for as little as $299 (for the Quest 3S). Obviously there are many other options out there (I personally like Pico) but I don’t know the specifics of your situation. Feel free to ask any questions.

I had the same problem when I was younger. I then ordered a pack of most brands out there to find what worked for me. I landed on Crown. Even then, it’s still not as good. I have since had a vasectomy and only use condoms to keep my toys safe.

But yeah, none of this is taught to teens. Education in america is a fucking joke.

Correct me if I’m wrong but this isn’t doxing? It’s pulling already public info and not sharing it with the world.
