What happened to the piefed account?

It used to be a really popular subject of discussion in normal-people-internet a couple years ago when it was released.

That checks out.

I have actually seen that video. But my simplification is still correct, except that I should've used the word "behaves". Because for the purposes of how it will behave the simplification shows the effects clearly.

If not touched the photon goes through both slits and interacts with itself, which is still super weird. Basically, it's a wave if not touched, but a particle if touched.

Yeah, I've played it using my Oculus Quest 1, too. It is the most game-like VR game, as opposed to most VR games that are more mini-games. But I've definitely spent more time in those mini-games than Alyx.

In addition to everything said, I'm pretty sure it was Oculus and John Carmack who did most of the work on getting VR to where it is.

I think people forget to mention the benefit of having standardized hardware. I build my own PCs, but I'm still considering the cube, because I know there will be optimizations targeted directly at it.
