Oh! I see where you misunderstood. No, Trump -the Putin worshipping, endorsed by Duterte, wannabe dictator- is the fascism that will be more unchecked than the first time he was elected. They were referring to the immediate next two years, not any hope of a come back where fascist policies like policing women’s bodies or banning lgbta+ rights will be attempted to be repealed.

They’re talking about the ones who openly worship dictators, not the liberals that currently have no control.

But did Das Boo Schitt get a Michael Bay adaptation? Also… Why does Michael Bay own the rights to skibidi toilet now? What timeline did I wake up in?

Yeah, but I don’t think they’ll keep it unless it turns a profit. Meta as a whole will always have ads which literally print money for free, but they’ll Google the VR line as soon as their lizard overlord gets bored of the metaverse idea. Maybe they’ll sell it instead of close it like Google always does, actually… That would be nice.

I am being somewhat exaggerative with word choices.

I don’t see them turning a profit on the market after killing their competitors. I don’t get their angle. Unless they can offer something truly transformative, they’re going to put themselves out of business doing that.

But yeah, they have this all in on VR/AR mentality which I don’t see working out. Killing the competition does guarantee no one else makes a good product either.

Thank you. Also, kind of fair, but the library probably needs to be bigger before people are willing to adopt too.

I always kind of thought a good desktop system, where wearing the headset is cheaper than getting a new larger monitor or more monitors, but the long term comfort of wearing a headset instead kills that idea pretty strongly right now. Even just a theater experience is kinda meh.

Porn does tend to sell technological advances though.

Well said. Also, good suggestions. I haven’t tried a few of those.

You can now get refurbished for around $200. Mostly the meta quest 2. I’d be happier with something that isn’t meta affiliated, but it’s a solid headset. Considering how expensive most of the rest are, getting it down this far is pretty good. Maybe in a decade, there will be more entry headsets at this price point or lower.

Convenience: meta has hand tracking as controllers and can play games by itself so you only need to put the headset on, and theirs is much lighter than the old vives I cut my VR teeth on. The head strap isn’t great still for convenience, but there are third party straps that are much easier to put on and take off. The framework for convenient VR is there, but support is dwindling as there’s not much money in the VR market compared to the cost vs anything else in games.

I hate that most of this is about meta, but I haven’t seen anyone else really making great strides in VR. There’s a Chinese company I need to find again which apparently made super light headsets I was going to keep an eye on and forgot.

Even if it was (a lot of similar designs are due to common inspirations such as folk tales, but also a lot are direct parodies, and parodies can be made legally distinct) (but also, the Pokemon team itself rejected the copyright suit suggested by the public in their own public statement a while ago) the lawsuit is over parents, not copyright. Patents implies technological theft. Or bogus patent claims, more often than not. (Patenting math should be illegal, for instance.)

Which end? The main story is just a narrative device, in fact you shouldn’t really obey the narrator at all. Calling any end “The End” doesn’t make sense in the context of the game, really. Unless you just broke out of the mind control facility three times then called it quits? That end is supposed to be non enticing so that you try literally anything else before putting it down. I think the going insane end sticks with me the most. Although the game dev commentary in the recent release is fun.

The term originated in religion, not government. And it has no definition that limits it to government creation. It’s not even limited to politics.

Definitely disagree with the clear best choice one. Our group regularly switches things around. Of course to each their own.

NT is easily my favorite. Soler is a treasure, not just for NT.

Apotheosis, Graham’s Things, and More Stuff are my next go to recommendations, but they can be very hard. The Noita Devs hosted a mod showcase pretty recently that shows off quite a few of the best mods in the game. The pinball one is a blast, especially together with NT.

There’s more than one enemy and more than one boss who can polymorph you.

Practicing with Respawn+ installed from the Steam Workshop (or elsewhere) is quite for learning, but not necessary for people who want the challenge. I went from mods that decrease difficulty to ones that add new bosses, secrets, and ways to die unfairly in an instant, and I don’t regret my time investment.
