Your link didn't and still doesn't work.
Kind of weird to play the disability card like that. Even if your link worked and I was able to read about how this helps with any disability you have, that wouldn't necessarily mean that dropping 3 times more money than it could possibly make sense to on this would be justified.
My point was that decades have gone by and basically 95% of the progress made toward decent VR has been made between 2014 and 2021. This device maybe represents another 2% bump. According to everyone but you, they're still quite clunky.
Enjoy the drastically overpriced devices, and just btw the comment about how this wasn't "that much money" turns my stomach. The privilege-o-meter exploded when you wrote that. The majority of the world's population probably would survive for at least 1.5 years on that sum of money.
As for the weird online-person "I feel sorry for people who know you" shit, I would definitely go out of my way to not interact with someone so extremely out of touch with reality that they would gladly pay 10 grand for a drip of Apple's latest buzz. I would strive for having friends who are opposite to that in every single way possible. I could be an asshole weirdo too and muse about how hard it must be for people who know you, but I'll just leave things here.
