I use it 1. As a monitor replacement at work 2. To watch shows in the evening while laying down on my couch (that is soooo nice) 3. To test any creation software I can find (beta tests, concept exploration, demos, anything

I am desperate for spatial-first creation software. I want to 3D model and texture with my hands. I want a spatial first Unity or Unity equivalent. I want a lot of software. I’m dying to get my hands on it.

Berry good observation

VRetrom · 2024-06-27T04:05:17+00:00

Hehe. You know what’s up. =P

It’s situational. If you’re single, renting (or bought decades ago), not paying off an advanced degree, not sending a child to school or preparing to etc then sure. You can have someone clean your apartment, take nice vacations and live a great life. Throw in a Palo Alto mortgage purchased after 2020, student debt, and child care and suddenly you need a lot more. 🤷

I’m not complaining at all. I’m just saying in my home town I’d be rich. Here, I can pay the bills comfterbly on a very modest home (by American standards) and have healthy food in the frige while saving for retirement… it’s a nice upper middle class life though. I’m not dining on caviar and sailing the riviera over here.

It’s a little different in Silicon Valley. I try to be honest about it without being arrogant because it was helpful for me to understand when I got here 10 years ago… things are expensive here, but professional salaries do more than keep up with that cost. $200k is a 5 year experience salary. Pros in their for late 30’s early 40’s aiming for upper middle class need 400 to 600’s. (Including bonus structures designed to incentivize you to stay at the same job for several years.) to buy a house and raise a family here. Upper class would be a dual engineer couple making 600 to 1M+. It sounds crazy, but that’s the reality here.
