Ah, November. A time for thanks, a time for cold November Rain and a time for more VR games. As people much younger than me say, we eatin’ good.
Not much in the hardware department (my wallet is thankful for that) but on the software front we’ve got tons of goodies.
Let’s see what’s on the calendar.
