    sure i can

    because they can all be expressed as a unique product of prime numbers other than 1

    Cara Ellison and Danny O'Dwyer's confusion on what carnitas is and the new amazement of tacos when coming to California is amazing.

    "Some sort of womp rat?"

    Wait there are people that don't now what carnitas is?

    Scottish/Irish people, apparently.

    I don't think I could live somewhere that didn't have access to Mexican food.

    am i the only one who's not like

    super interested in VR

    like it seems neat and there's a handful of games that i'm sure stand to benefit from it, basically anything bethesda makes

    but i dunno it just doesn't drive me wild the same way it does everyone else

    it kinda feels like the full effect isn't gonna work until you've got a headset + a razer hydra + a 360 degree treadmill, and that stopping at just the headset will just be kind of a disorienting gimmick more than anything

    i dunno maybe i'm just a sourpuss and i'll become a believer whenever i actually get to try it myself but it kind of just feels like a cool novelty to me at this point and not THE NEXT BIG GAMING REVOLUTION the way some people are making it out to be

    I am continually surprised that there aren't more picture of Rifts with googly eyes on them. I mean come on,

    This would be the first thing I would do if I got one of those.

    It's definitely something that benefits from having experienced it in person

    A "carnitas tack-oh", as the Scots would say it, is apparently some sort of braised or pulled pork taco?

    That's what Wikipedia said, anyway. Sounds good. But I live in NYC, which allegedly has terrible or mediocre Mexican food, despite our large Mexican population.

    Nah

    I basically couldn't care less about VR

    That's just not something I want at all out of my games or movies

    also the tiny little shred of luddite in me is kind of creeped out by the idea of literally strapping a screen to your face and completely blocking out the outside world

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    I am not creeped out by VR stuff at all but it isn't how I want to interact with my media either.

    I only want a rift if I can use it to play xcom while laying on my back and just be completely worthless all day.

    a prime number is a number that you can only get in multiplication through itself and 1 right?

    the only way to get 1 is to multiply it by itself and 1

    That's kinda what I'd want one for as well. I don't have living things to worry about dying, so I can do the whole sensory deprivation thing, but really I just wanna play games or watch TV lying down.

    That's the sensible working joe's definition

    The hoity toity ivory tower definition is a number with exactly 2 unique factors, 1 and itself

    1 is disqualified by that definition because it only has 1 unique factor

    But also, by definition, a prime must be greater than 1.

    So I'm watching the Nintendo Treehouse stuff about Splatoon

    For some reason I really appreciate the hosts staying on message, referring to a double kill as a "double splatter" instead, stuff like that

    Also watching an interview with one of the No Man's Sky devs

    He laments the lack of the sci-fi he loves in video games, in such a way that would usually have me rolling my eyes

    But in this case he seems so genuine in his love for the science fiction of old, the "stranger in a strange land" sci-fi, that I can't help but agree with him

    VR doesn't really gel with how I play games. I like to have Skype going, be aware of my phone, alt-tab out into walkthroughs or spreadsheets or character builders, stuff like that. Seems like it'd be really bad for people with responsibilities or dependants too.

    Yes they would you would just have to rephrase the rules, just like how you have to rephrase the rules of division to leave out zero!!!!
