The third "Engawa AI x XR" will take place on Saturday, September 12, so this post is an announcement for it. I'll cover what kind of event it will be, as well as some reflections and adjustments based on what we learned from the previous session.

One change is the event title. Until last time, we had chosen a separate title for each event in addition to the series name. Starting this time, though, we're simply calling it "Engawa AI x XR #3 @ Motoyawata." In the end, everyone just calls it "Engawa," so I decided this would make things clearer.

• Engawa AI x XR #3 @ Motoyawata

The first Engawa AI x XR event was held on August 1. As I have written about a few times, the real first session was canceled because of a typhoon. So the second session became our first event.

The photo, by the way, shows the Engawa AI x XR sign placed in front of the venue. The venue is set a little back from the street, like part of a row house, so I made the sign to make it easier to find. I wrote on it in chalk to give it a more analog feel.

This report is a little overdue, but here it is.

The first event is not until this weekend, so "Engawa AI x XR" has not been held even once yet, but it does have a Discord. This post is an introduction to it.

The first planned session of "Engawa AI x XR" was canceled because two typhoons were expected. This entry announces the rescheduled event. The second session will be held from 2:00 PM on August 1. After the cancellation, I gave it some thought and changed the event title slightly.

The long-rumored Steam Machine suddenly went on sale on June 23. Personally, I thought it would launch around the same time as Steam Frame, meaning a little later, so it caught me completely off guard. But I had already decided before launch that I was going to buy it, so I went to the sales site on release day and purchased one. It arrived on June 30. I have spent some time setting it up, and now that a few things have become clear, I will write a review.
