I'm very sorry that I didn't also mention that the major political parties were bad when mentioning that a specific smaller party is also bad. I promise that I'm listening, and that I'm learning.
don't know much about the people's party other than what's on the website which is vague progressive positions, although they're against supporting Ukraine which, uh, is not a policy position i agree with
but i live in texas and my county/district is super-gerrymandered so my vote hardly matters anyway. my specific district last year voted ~75% for a democratic state representative, but everything at the county level was decided in favor of republicans by a comfortable 60-40 margin so i can protest vote all i want
An enthusiast I was listening to was trying to say "well they are claiming its a face pc" and yeah they can claim all kinds of shit, 3500 dollars for that is fucking laughable.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Cuz who doesn’t want a PC hanging off their face, right?
Apple has to appeal to business for their headset because very few people are casually dropping $3500 to use one at home for porn.
this headset is for no one. here's what i think: they went all in on metaverse bullshit back when it was the new hype shit and got too far to pull back, so they couldn't just scrap the project, but also the metaverse shit is a scamjoke so they couldn't actually make a headset that they intend to sell and build something off of. if they did, it would be like console prices, sold at a loss but profit on the software and walled garden. no, they don't believe this headset is going anywhere, so here, it's $3500 fucking dollars, buy it if you dare you fucking rubes
I’m about as stupidly optimistic about the real world potential for VR and convenient, comfortable headsets as I think you can get while acknowledging reality, and I still feel like Apple’s mostly just hoping this thing explodes with apps they can’t figure out for themselves.
I’m not sure why that would happen for them if it hasn’t happened for anybody else, especially since the UI they describe doesn’t sound all that revolutionary.
Yeah hopefully the idiot suits in charge of making dumb overpriced office anchors don't sink the stuff. There's still all sorts of cool stuff happening in independent VR spaces, partially because they know what the stuff is and are interested in making it excel at being that, rather than trying to force it into places it doesn't function.

I just think we're lucky that Pivot to Video VR seems to be dying pretty quickly
I like seeing the tech improve! But I'll probably be waiting until I can wear a normal sized pair of sunglasses outside with AR stuff before I buy it. I'm not going into the metaverse like Ready Player One.
There's only one real usage that I WANT, for the full goggle style experience, and that's basically a super amped up version of laser tag.
I want to go to some crazy warehouse filled with stuff to run and climb around, and I want my laser gun, and I wanna shoot other people in a crazy AR world.
Edit: I probably spent a grand playing paintball as a teen. I'd spend way more for this. Have a beer league I go every week. They can have all my money.
I tried VR porn once when I first got my OG Occulus Rift.
I don't know what happened or what I did wrong but instead of regular VR porn I got thrown into a giant square room where the walls, the floor and the ceiling was all just the porno. Everywhere I looked it was a 30ft tall vision of fuckin'. It was a hypercube of porn. I was the porn and the porn was me.
I lost all concept of space or time or identity in that turgid, sweaty prison cell. It was like I had grabbed hold of a Palantír and suddenly my mind was seared through with the all consuming malice of the Great Burning Eye of Sauron but instead it was a butthole and some guys hog.
I somehow fought enough to tear the headset off my face and collapsed onto the floor.

And the cost is definitively prohibitive. So they want you to use an awkward interface with a shit battery life, you have to be connected to a battery pack for, to do something worse than you're already doing it using cheaper easier to use stuff.
It'd be like if the switch was triple the cost of the HD consoles and only had Ubisoft games on it.

I still wake up at night screaming and firing a gun into the ceiling like I was at Khe Sanh but instead of the NVA flashing before my eyes it's giant Peeners and Hoohahs.
If you're gonna use a $3,500 VR headset for interactive porn you've gotta take it the fullest. Talking a full on machine that gave the postal worker who brought it a hernia as you strap yourself in to do the deed, a leviathan that hums so loudly and powerfully it sounds like you're taking off as you focus entirely on the 4K glories beheld in your vision.
I am running for truth and justice as a presidential candidate for the People’s Party to reintroduce America to the best of itself - fighting to end poverty, mass incarceration, ending wars and ecological collapse, guaranteeing housing, health care, education and living wages for all!

I'm glad we've already selected the next person for liberals to blame the supporters of for Trump winning.
which, I mean, sure, it's a pretty cool scene, but the description seems to be overselling it a bit (emphasis mine -- maybe I just don't know enough about the history of TV, I guess?)
The "In the Air Tonight" Scene is arguably the most memorable and famous scene from the Miami Vice television series, and is regularly cited as one of the greatest, most influential moments in the history of television.

The trump stuff is, somehow, more obvious than I'd even expected -- from the CNN article:
Prosecutors from the special counsel’s office have focused their obstruction inquiries around Trump, Trump’s body man Walt Nauta and a maintenance worker who helped Nauta move boxes of classified documents ahead of federal agents searching the property last summer, and potentially others, sources told CNN.
The sources say that the maintenance worker is the person who drained the pool that led to the flooding of the IT room where the surveillance footage was held.

It doesn't seem influential to you looking back at it now because it was literally the first show to do a thing that pretty much all prestige television does now.

When did they announce a second Miami Vice reboot
I didn't know Variety had an AO3 account.
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie

"I dont think that's IT, it's just a generic Gary's Mod thing."
"This thing's based on Gary's Mod? Wonder what other options there are."
"Dave, no! Avert your eyes!"
"It's too late, Bill." *avatar changes to an anthropomorphic body pillow featuring a Ganondorf in a jar pinup* "I have seen everything."

Like for me as a user they still haven't hit the "why would I want to wear this shit on my face versus my currently working out fine interface?"

I never tried it again.
So basically a porno parody of The Jaunt

By a weird coincidence, this morning youtube suggested I watch this:

glad apple is helping to solve the problem.
