I’ve been thinking about this scene from a 2018 episode of The Good Fight a lot lately.

Red Matter’s depiction of Saturn’s moon Rhea is wildly inaccurate but agreeably picturesque.

That’s the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. I flew over it just the other day. A friend of mine helped design the trackers that hold and position the mirrors.

The 2D capture doesn’t do it justice, but this depiction of the surface of Triton, with Neptune looming massively on the horizon, is genuinely thrilling. I’m not a big puzzle-game person in general, but the contemplative pace and emphasis on exploration really lend themselves to VR.

I’m feeling pandered-to in the best possible way right now.

(I can still only manage a couple of hours with this thing strapped to my face before I begin feeling pukey though, and I’ve never experienced motion sickness before in my life.)

Still getting the hang—literally—of this whole virtual reality thing. Sony’s implementation is slick and fiddly at the same time. I wish there were more dedicated experiences on the platform. Something along the lines of Journey for the PSVR2 would slap.
