I got Hubris VR for free! I was thinking of paying for it, but got it for free. It had been on sale yesterday, $8 from $35.
I also got Action Hero and CounterOps for free, all VR apps.
Great Canada Day. Hubris is highly rated. Photorealistic graphics.
The News presented a survey
How proud are you as a Canadian:
- Proud and optimistic
- Proud but pessimistic
- Not proud but optimistic
- Not proud and worried
- Unsure
I am proud to be a Canadian and optimistic.
Airtight reasons: Canada speaks English and is linked to the British Crown. That makes it brand name awesome. Also Canada, for the most part, speaks English. I would not trade my days speaking English for days speaking any other language.
Optimistic. The future is shifting ChatGPT and other AI is on board and on the team of providing checks and balances for a better future. AI can shape and mold and refine a person's body of knowledge. A lot of what appears to be the future are mental constructs built from absolutist thinking. The future will have its good and bad moments but the good moments make you strong while the bad moments teach and force you to grow.
Jung called it individuation and actualization. On an individual level, a person's crises help them to be the top class person who they are ultimately meant to be. On an actualization level, there is a divine order, a divine schedule and the world is moving towards it and part of it includes the stumbling blocks along the way that are designed to teach.
Jung also said that a person should not doubt their ability to handle things but to believe like the Stoics that a person will meet whatever future with the same strength and resources they have in handling the present moment.
Ha ha, the present doesn't morph into the future so much as the future morphs into the present.

This morning, I got Downton Abbey, Season 3, episode 9. There is a visit to a Scottish castle. The train doors read 333. So I knew getting this was a good move.
I woke up this morning, looked at the clock and it said, 4:44! Price, $3. Not a big expense.
The story of Metro Awakening in a nutshell is,
Years after a nuclear war, survivors in Russia are living in a vast underground civilization that had been premade from underground subway tunnels. There are also all kinds of mutant entities living there as well.
A doctor named Serdar must go deep into the mines to rescue and bring medicine for his wife Yana who had been abducted and pulled deep into the mines.
The hero's arc that Joseph Campbell wrote about emerges. Through the course of the journey, Serdar discovers who he is without any of the fear or worries and he eventually becomes something larger than life.
Daedalus VR. $3. Well worth it. Just incredible. Same developer as Red Matter.
Heavenly UBC Museum of Anthropology art-house vibes.
Ocean Rift VR is great.
Fiction: Mary Trump is thinking of making a VR app about her famous uncle. Set in Washington DC, the app is going to be called Ocean of Grift VR.
Mary Trump once sued her uncle $100 million dollars for stealing her inheritance. Trump countersued with a reciprocal $100 million lawsuit based on Mary Trump having released his confidential tax records. What a family.
'They're funny and they're scary
They have a niece named Mary
It's all so contrary
The Trump Family,'
