    but which one

    Probably something like one of these

    British houses are waaaay too small for VR.

    Generally, this wave of interesting in AR/VR seems to have peaked. 18 months back you couldn't move for people proclaiming that it was here to stay.

    Most infancy hardwares have a lower adoption rate. Version 2 and 3 will likely see a large uptick as people begin to expand their PC hardware to match and start dedicating room in their houses and apartments for the large area required by VR.

    It's sort of like the TV. The first TVs were very bulky and large that a lot of people didn't really have the room for them. Eventually they shrunk and things like offices and studies fell to the wayside instead of having a larger family room where you could have a TV.

    The thing the reviewers I trust are saying about Odyssey is that it is the most game ever.

    Like, just, an endless series of interlocking systems and story and places and ships with crews and the Mordor Nemesis system and gear leveling and...

    Just, so much game. One of the dudes was 75 hours in and was pretty sure he was still less than 75% of the way through it and he hasn't been doing all the sidequests.

    you can draft that deck in m19 and it's very fun. I love it. Pretty slow and janky, but when you steal their creature and sacrifice it or just keep sacrificing skeleton...

    The ultimate play is stealing their creature, attacking, then turning it into a 2/4 with Transmogrifying Wand since it says "controller" not "owner" of the creature.
