vr news (pertains to facebook quest 1)
just got an email saying the quest 1 will only be supported with bug fixes / security patches until 2024, and they're no longer developing new features for it as of today.

"but in the stories, their victims are killed. who would want to go with them?"
"dragons don't kill people, dragons just believe in freedom of form. those who go with them are given bodies that fit them better."
