May I ask why it matters? What matters is that these files were taken down. Why the FUCK should I care what side of The Party wanted to screw us over this time?
Let them think it is, the last thing you want is to educate politicians about anything. The first rule when trying to protect something from being destroyed is to not draw attention to it.
So YES! That internet is all about webpages and NOTHING ELSE!
Well, at least with him you won't see any censorship to protect feelings and safe spaces, that's for sure. So... I don't know if he means more censorship.
Hey, it can't ALL be bad now that the hairpiece is at the helm.
Hmm... building a different cockpit for every flight sim you play is really cheaper than buying a VR set and building the cockpits in software? I mean, that's certainly doable if you're a hardcore fan of a certain, very specific plane model, but...
Also, I dare say that when looking at the price tags of such cockpits, and considering that you still have to add monitors and input devices, a thousand bucks for the VR set starts to look like the cheaper option...
VR solves the problem of immersion when it comes to video gaming. Not your cup of tea? Ok. Fortunately it's not mandatory to use and neither are you required to even consider it.
What I don't get is why you are desperately unwilling to let those that are interested find out whether it is feasible.
I actually found it very witty, sorry to be so cocky. The horses have run away and you're now opening the barn hoping they come back, but they have long found something better.
And yes, I know that the original metaphor requires you to shut the door after the horse ran away instead of opening it. But that part of the metaphor didn't make sense, if anything, you would have to OPEN the door when you notice that the horse is gone and hope that the horse comes back home.
Actually, the price tag is about 1000 bucks currently, give or take a bit. I use my kitchen, which can easily "converted" to the gaming room by moving the table to a corner. You don't really need that much room, 2.5x2.5 meters and you're on. More than 5x5 ain't supported anyway.
As for the social aspect, there are actually games for "local multiplayer" where one person is "blinded" with the VR set and the others are using the controllers to e.g. guide him while they, in turn, can't see what he's seeing. That does actually make a pretty entertaining party game. Not to mention that it's hilarious to watch someone play the game while you watch him engage in shadow boxing while you can at the same time watch what he sees on the computer screen.
All in all, it's a nice experience. Worth a 1000 bucks? Probably not. But then, with the current interest rates, what should i've done with the dough anyway?
I can see how some people may get motion sickness, but I cannot really say I had that experience.
My guess is that this problem needs a solution, and that some people will not be able to utilize the technology because no matter how good the technology, they'll always get sick. I think what's needed to eliminate this problem is some way to "anchor" yourself, visually, in the room. Some object you can latch your mind onto that doesn't move, rotate or otherwise shift around.
I noticed that most people have the biggest problems with lateral position changes, i.e. when the simulation moves you to the left or right. People are generally pretty tolerant to (virtual) acceleration and deceleration in the direction they're facing.
Considering how people I know keep picking up VR kids left and right, I can't really say that VR is dead. Occulus may be, though. It got wedged between the cheaper PS4 VR kit that pretty much offers what the Occulus does and the Vive which, while about 1.5 times as expensive, offers a lot better and more exact controls as well as a room-scale experience.
Occulus has a problem, I give you that. VR itself... I wouldn't cast the verdict yet. I do agree, though, that it lacks that application that makes heads turn. AAA studios steer clear of VR titles so far since there is simply no established set of "known successful" formulas yet, and they hare risking sinking money into something that's not tested. Hence what you get so far is mostly indie stuff, and that's hardly something that will make you want to spend a thousand bucks for the hardware.
Getting 20% off routinely (as in, not as part of a clearing sale) only means that the store has an additional 20% markup that they just waive if you jump some hoops.
Personally I prefer stores without "special discounts" that have decent prices in the first place. TANSTAAFL, if you want a discount, it first has to be slapped onto it.
First of all, anyone who doesn't have a FB account (like me) and doesn't give a shit about making one (like me) will create one for the US trip because obviously now you need one to enter the US. I would even write exactly this onto the page, that this page only exists because DHS wants to see a FB page from me, so I had to make one, don't expect any updates because they will not be forthcoming.
Everyone who does have one and has reason to think that DHS doesn't like what's going on on it will create a fake one.
And now try to convince DHS that the one you created because you have none and don't give a shit about telling the world how good your last dump was is not a fake one you created because you're Bin Laden's lovechild.

This.
Same for encryption. Encrypt EVERYTHING. Including the grocery list you used last week. More noise!
Shhhhh... hush, right there!

Your idea would be easy to implement, a perfect solution to the problem and most of all it would work. We can't have that at MS.
I'd rather buy a stack of gold, that I can at least look at and enjoy how pretty it is...
There's also a solution to car accidents, we just have to stop using cars. See how simple this can be?
You see no use for VR. That's ok. Some of us would like the experience though. I hope we're allowed to? Or do we need your permit?
Yes, you can spend as much as you spend on a Vive without getting the same level of quality. I should have mentioned that.

Who in their right mind would want to meet people who go to a video game expo?
I'm fairly sure gamers would be interested to learn about this, but for all the reasons these companies fear.

I always thought Monster cables are already an extension for a tiny problem?
You open the stable long after the horse has found greener pastures.
And you really believe it can only happen in backwater Africa? Think again.
