This was going to be my complaint with the headset as well. I use 2x 49" super ultrawide displays, as well as 2x 27" 4k displays. Lots of real estate.

But then I started to think harder about what I was consuming display space with, and started to peel those things out into their Vision or iPad app equivalents. I'll not get into the obvious trade-offs of using iPad apps, but it largely suits the need.

Once I had Slack, Outlook, a Terminal, and TablePlus floating separately from the Mac display, I started to see a path toward potentially not caring if I even had the Mac display.

My teenage daughter came to me with tears in her eyes earlier today and asked me to watch a video. I watched with her and my heart sank. We shed a tear together for them. She had just made a ceramic pig mask at school a month ago, and regularly wears his merch. I'm glad he has been able to touch so many lives positively.

This is exactly why I got involved and support it on Patreon. I played this a ton as a teenager.

It is also written in my favorite language, Go, which means that on my Mac running Catalina this will likely be the only way to play the game in the future. I couldn't even get the game files without using a High Sierra VM. There's also the impending ARM transition, which this project should also easily support.

I only joined the project just this week, but I can tell you that the game isn't playable yet. It launches and runs, allowing you to create a character and walk around in town. Most functionality isn't wired up yet. There are a lot of opportunities to contribute.

There are no plans to support any other games, but it sounds like they expect to be able to use it to create new games.
