Personalities aside someone posted this takedown of "bad headline" takes from Tim ✅Piracy drove many dev to consoles ❌Didn't hold but was majority opinion at time ✅By the numbers true, still todo F2P dominates ✅In relation to arch (which he was talking about)

Look I don't like F2P I tore up a contract put myself in massive personal debt and burnt bridges with Ubisoft over it. But those are the facts. The whole PC is better perf only when fine tuned on the high end and even then on IO in real conditions it tends to lose.

Tim can be crass and I don't agree with everything he is saying and doing but this post for me perfectly captures the misalignment between "gaming facts" and the on the ground realities of our industry.

Desk upgrade... and people wonder why I yearn for a pure XR work environment. No headset has quite hit it for me but its sooo close. My desktop headset needs to be wired, flawless desktop connection and support multiple systems with wireless dongles to arbitary capture HDMI/DP

I really wish more people realised how bullshit Linear No Threshold (LNT) the standard rad measure for decades has caused more harm than good. So much fear without science has actively damaged humanity. Great video on it. youtu.be/gzdLdNRaPKc

Some more context on this great thread here: reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/1… Sony Group Corporation essentially cleaned out its closet of 2010–2022 enterprise optical patents and sold them to Meta for a massive payday. Doesn't hit PlayStation stuff or most consumer VR
Seeing the Sony patent sell off to Meta makes me sad. No way to tell if my patents were sold but I don't think so. Looks to be Sony Group not PlayStation sub. Also its 419 patents some of which are XR related. Also there is likely a licence back clause. Still makes me sad.

Kazuki Yokoyama is still doing RnD into XR UX and multi-view spatial stuff. Looks like Junichi Tanaka was promo to GM which is cool but more focused on virtual production. TLDR - lots of cool people still doing awesome RnD.

I remain confident within 2-7 years and I hope it is Sony will ship the "walkman of XR" and I think the current qualcomm puck design is closer but firmly believe it needs someone like Apple/Sony who are willing to pull apart the whole stack and make a pure product to make it.

sometimes I put together a puzzle and it makes me giggle this was one of them... also yeah my memory is getting bad yall
Even though I handset all the puzzles (or someone on the team does), I often forget them by the time they're live and playable. Fun for me, but sometimes I worry about my memory. 🥥🍸 anyone? #vr #gamedev

When Sony decided not to increase OLEDoS fab units when Apple asked for it and pulled back from some of its really exciting work in the field I was hoping it was a longer reinvestment but not sure now. It's so frustrating because they were front of the wave with real RnD resource

I will say it again only Apple and Sony make top level product design XR desperately needs. I would kill for a VITA VR device. Also we can debate timelines but I don't know anyone who long term is willing to bet against XR.
