For the past few years, our schedule on the day of Apple's WWDC keynote has been relatively the same - in the early morning, to strap on the Valve Index and join in with friends in the Closing Ceremonies to that year's Furality and then attempt to catch the WWDC keynote live unless something came up.

In 2023, we watched WWDC live in VRChat, remarking just how bad the Vision Pro's personas looked at that time to the fursonas we'd been petting in VR just hours earlier.
