  1. I'd like to say cngrts to Elon and his creepy hunchbacked lab assistant Rei...

    To all the shorts, I say suck a fat dick.

  2. 1984 bullshit

    How apropos that those who thought the original Red Dawn (a Commie invasion of the U.S. from Latin America) sounded like a how-to guide are also the same mouthbreathers advocating that everyone - except the government - be denied the right to defend themselves.

  3. In that case, your pathologically-inflexible mind will really struggle with the fact that classic 'anti-fascist types' are also very much against this "open borders insanity."

    The only ones not against it are Globalists who intend to monetize the dismantling of America's middle class, and naive limousine liberals who'd be diligently working overseas to improve conditions in third-world hell-holes (without also trying to reduce them here) if they actually gave a fuck about helping anybody.

    Btw, misread "physiological" as "psychological."

    "Dying" in VR could very well be its own punishment....

  6. I'll probably be waiting a long time for "proper SLI;" the future of highend vidcards for the foreseeable future is more likely to consist of multi-gpu's on a single card.

    Like Quantum Obsidian, only this time its time will have come.

  7. I'm patiently waiting for headsets with proper FOV's (~110deg is like looking out at the world through a 70's scuba mask), GPU's to gain a little more horsepower (nV's foray into ray tracing isn't going to help anything for now), AMD and nV to improve and optimize multi-gpu tech (quad-sli is dead, it never worked right to begin with... and we'll soon need it more than ever).

    Also to the whole input issue; for roomscale VR we'll need sensors in our clothing, especially our gloves.

  8. The market is waiting for the Love Glove (TM). It will have USB at first; wireless later.

    It will not go on your hand.

    I think you meant it's biological. In any case, I had no problems until I put a car through a wall and didn't feel the expected deceleration. I became instantly more nauseous than I can recall ever having felt and I was left with a 24hour migraine; that was a first as well.

    There is a fundamental mismatch between idiot CEO's and the instant uptake that they apparently expect from a market that's growing but is not only still a highend niche, it will always remain a niche at the high-end.

    If the mouthbreathers expected greater uptake by now, it's merely because they don't understand the tech well enough to be making predictions.

    MS never signaled that, though; it was clear that they'd optimized it for 4K.

    The two aforementioned VR headsets in the 90's required proprietary titles; I remember there was being a version of Mech II for the Forte VFX1; was there ever Duke Nukem?? I certainly didn't think so...
