Hmm how do VR headsets work for the longsighted? Do we [yes, age has finally got me!] have to wear our glasses or are they adjustable?

As you know I gave up all the things I gave up (primarily alcohol) with no formal support. And it is no "remission" , or "being in recovery" - it is just over. And there is zero "temptation" to guard against. Glad to see some hard numbers on this commonsense notion.

the bacterial lipid thing is fascinating!

My brother Mike has made an iPhone game! That you can use to make your own games!

Your brother's game looks awesome! SEUCK for the modern world! (Which can't be a new thing, but I'm sure it never gets old...)

One of my great loses in computing was a SEUCK game I made that featured various nieces and nephews doing stuff they were into at the time. It eventually failed to load due to SEUCK's C64 fast-loader (to tape) coming at a price for its speed. Plus nephews are not a very good keeper of backups... (Running the expensive C64 cassette drives into the ground was also part of the problem too, of course.)

The games you make - can they (or the parts thereof) be shared? Good for turning a game into a hobby as much as a game, I think. Hobbies can be very long-term...
