What’s the relevant report?
I’ve been told that this is Hank Green playing the Spacebar VR Pinball Battle Machine at Open Sauce! @hankgreen.bsky.social is it really you?? What did you think?

You look cool when using a motorcycle helmet. You do not look cool when using a VR headset.
Motorcycle helmets are heavier by a lot like 3lb. vs 500g. Motorcycles are fun. VR is fun. Motorcycles can get you to interesting places, to work, to see friends. VR can get you to interesting virtual places, can do work, and see far away friends.
VR thought experiment of the day: on one hand there are let’s say generously 50 million VR headsets in use. On the other hand easily over 500 million motorcycle helmets in use. They cost about the same. Which on weighs more? Which one has more value? Let’s include the motorcycle too.

I asked Sam about his pink cowboy hat...

It was fun to come home to find this in the mailbox. Make Magazine did a nice spread on the Spacebar Giant Arcade Machine! This checks a life goal as I’ve been a fan of the magazine and part of the maker movement for years. Where should this beautiful beast pop up next? #VR
