I've been taking a break from the internet lately, but I'm still breathing.
In other news, I got prescription glasses, and I need to ask: Why didn't anyone tell me that the real world was in stereo like VR is?!!
Honestly I always figured the hyper-3D effect for distant objects in VR was just an artifact of the mismatched focal length vs convergence. Turns out, nope. I just had enough of an astigmatism to dull my stereo vision past 100' or so. >_<
