Thanks, @sterlingcrispin! What a journey from working in my basement in 2005 to solving the impossible at TDG! Can’t wait to pick up mine tomorrow! Couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished: making a dent in the universe!!

Also, shoutout to @BertrandNepveu congrats man!!! The vision pro would not be the same without the @Vrvana totem. Who knew that a mixed reality, passthrough headset, with a little knob that transitions between VR and AR would be such a hit...
Because of this great game, we were going BNC lan parties at my parentʼs house with our own tower PC on each floor equipped with a SB16 and a Roland midi daughter card in combo with a Matrox Millenium plugged into some nice Sony Trinitron screens! This was how social PC gaming was done!!
I know that Command and Conquer didn't start the real time strategy (RTS) genre, but it certainly feels like the gold standard, at least for the mid 90s to the early 2000s. Westwood Studios were an awesome team, also developing Dune, Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore, etc. - but of course, their flagship was always the Command & Conquer series. I was never particularly good at RTS games, but titles like Dune 2 and Command & Conquer were just so incredibly awesome, it was simply a lot of fun to play them. They were easy to learn and get into, but hard to master. Exactly how games should be. Westwood Studios is listed in Guinness World Records for selling over 30 million (!) copies of Command & Conquer games worldwide. Average price for the game was around US$ 80, so that amounts to roughly a quarter billion dollars. Not bad for "just" a game.
Donkey Kong on the Coleco Vision is what got me into gaming!
Are you this old?

I have not seen a more beautiful XR headset yet. Not even close... Apple Vision Pro is a masterpiece ♥️

Good old days with Limewire!
Who remembers DivX? The real struggle was finding the perfect codec.

I’ve been fully booked with freelance projects on Vision Pro since September. It’s still a niche space, but the demand from focused teams is real. Maybe just one data point, but from my perspective, Vision Pro’s still kicking!

AI that knows the room: stays silent, speaks on cue, and routes to the right model (local or cloud). No wake words. No cameras. On-device. Demo ↓ 🔊
So that we could do a LAN party with BNC cables to play Command & Conquer!
Some of y’all never had to edit a config.sys file to get a game to run and it shows 😆😜
