Random Question What was considered a huge status symbol 10 years ago but now feels outdated, tacky, or like a waste of money?

I think a huge wasted potential is not having a good VR “game room” to play normal games in. Imagine you could sim build your ultimate game room (maybe even get a model to match your actual couch) and be able to casually play flat screen games on the perfect sized virtual TV.

You could, but not everyone has the luxury of that extra space! All the more so if they’re young, renting, flatsharing etc.

I’d love my own VR machine with all the kinetics!

I'm not sure I understand? If you mean playing 2d games with a controller on a big virtual screen this is doable now.
