Yes. Even the best VR headsets still have incredibly low pixel density. According to Michael Abrash, "the per-degree pixel density of a 1k by 1k, 110-degree VR display is... actually lower pixel density than the original Quake running

Tongue-in-cheek writing is really hard to distinguish in plaintext when you play it so straight. And especially when you transitioned into it so abruptly from a legitimate, honest answer. If your comment had contained only the facetious

Good to know. I've never owned a laptop. I have a desktop machine at work and another at home and just virtually never have a need to do computer work when I'm not in one of those two places.

Assuming you're using a mechanical keyboard like a proper human, you can switch the keycaps around. If you're using a laptop then I have no sympathy. You have chosen that life.

I'm forty-two. I've never so much as lost a wallet, much less had it stolen. Plus I use it once a month or so when my password manager app on my phone gets logged out and I don't feel like pecking it into the virtual keyboard
