Merry Belated Christmas, all! We left out for my in-laws on Monday and been out of town until yesterday evening. Been a whirlwind since, unpacking and putting stuff away, then breaking down some holiday decor to get back up in the attic. Finally catching a break to get some online time.
Overall, had a good time. Traffic for the drive up to Atlanta, and back, wasn't too bad, weather was in the low-mid 60s all week, though it felt a bit warmer here and there. Glad to be back home though, was starting to miss some daily comforts, lol.
Got some pretty cool gifts, Jen got me the new Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order game for my PS4 and a custom carrying case for my Nintendo Switch cartridges, my brother-in-law gave me a Kobo e-reader to replace my older Nook. The premiere gift though, was from my in-laws, they gifted me an Oculus Quest system. If you're not familiar, its the latest in Oculus Virtual Reality systems and is the first to not use any cables (be tethered to a PC). I was kinda shocked, wasn't expecting to get it. We set it up and gave it a whirl, my mother-in-law even played it a bit which was funny to watch.
I've delved into VR with the PS4 headset (which is tethered) and while it was kinda cool, still didn't really grab me. The Oculus Quest however, changes things up, I'm definitely impressed though I can see how limited game availability could be a problem. So far, though, its great to play for a couple hours.
Hope everyone else had a great Christmas and upcoming New Year, won't be long and GaryCon will be upon us.
