back in the days of ubiquitous smoking, people had fancy table and desk lighters that were like this - heavy, large capacity, artsy things.

interesting points, especially about the evolution in language / perceptions re: dwarves. I’ve heard dragon age being described as ‘fantasy, but more mature’; I played the first game and it didn’t click.

followed by intergalactic.

FOLLOWED BY INTERGALACTIC RIGHT?

Darude, Sandstorm

this is the part I can’t understand. no one wants this. if you understand what this is doing, you wouldn’t want it. holy shit why

I know a startup tried to do phone reflection in VR, that is, to mirror a phone’s display into a render layer, and try to use the phone’s touchscreen as an input for that ‘display’.

they went out of business. I wonder if they ever got their patents figured out. seemed like promising tech.

The convenience is harder. I don’t think there’s a solution to that, at least not in the near future.

lighter headsets that work well in MR, so you don’t need to take it off to reply to a msg or find your login. you’d leave it on in mixed/augmented reality mode, then swap it back to VR to play your game.

Slowly, we’re moving towards that. I’ll be very interested to see what comes after the quest 3s / index etc.

Valve isn’t done in VR. it doesn’t feel the need to put out a headset every year.

Same with the Vive. It wasn’t the end. Index isn’t the end. When they find something they can innovate they will.

just the start, too.

wonton micro dick?

I would play the everlasting shit out of this

Wouldn’t it be cool if there were shit like this out there?

they’re streaming world data. I shudder to think about the size of the entire dataset.

I have no doubt that the hardest part of Shotwell’s job is Elon-management.

now that’s job security

think for a moment how this thing would smell after a single day.

of course it’s AI garbage.

by the matrix of sanitation!
