I’m really keen on one of these displays eventually, as I can set aside the issues with refresh rate and colour accuracy, but the price needs to drop way down. It needs to be competitive with regular LCD monitors.

I look at terminals all day for work, this would make it so much more comfortable.

Excellent read. Makes me wonder of the forgotten or underappreciated place of games that are meant to only take a few hours and then exit your life forever: games like Journey and others that take only a few hours to beat. They’re completely antithetical to this style of design.

People Make Games did a much better job on reporting the issues with Roblox.

I think the real issue is how Roblox takes advantage of kids lack of knowledge about microtransactions and FOMO to create a generation of free-to-play dupes while also exploiting anyone that makes content for them, but that’s just my opinion.

Him as Harry Mudd would be fantastic, I could also see him as a good Klingon sometime.

Really wild to go from this vibe at the end of the seventh generation of consoles to the one we’re at now. For me, and many other people that like high quality gaming experiences, mobile games have completely vanished.

Damn the reddit energy is crazy in this thread

Just a heads up that this event has been pushed back to a future date.

“👊🇺🇸🔥” to committing war crimes, Americae delenda est.

America is so cooked lol

Definitely does a lot more than the Vision Pro does though, waaay more useful.

I think you can order prescription lenses with it. Maybe with the halo strap it might accommodate glasses nicely.

Needed to ditch the original strap and put the Bobo M3 strap on it, but once that was done it was the first time I was able to use VR with no weight on my cheekbones. Wildly changed how I felt about it as it was suddenly so comfortable I could use it for hours without discomfort.

I personally feel like the Quest 3 is the most comfortable headset I’ve ever owned (previously owned the CV1 and the Quest 1) and that for me trumps all of its issues with the lens/display setup.

I am desperate for Valve to succeed and really shake up the market but I think they’ll continue to make headsets that cost over $1K and just aren’t palatable to a wider audience. Hopefully Deckard is at the very least good enough to justify that price. I certainly have more faith in them after loving the Steam Deck.

I posted the article mostly for discussion, I personally have had a great time play AC: Nexus VR lately. But it does feel like the market is in a bit of a weird place right now as Meta/Apple are both pushing AR and non-gaming use cases, when the only thing these headsets have really been shown to be superior at is playing games.

Canadian $

It’s just wild to watch Bluesky fans stumble over themselves to say it’s part of a federated future and that it’s decentralized yada yada, when it takes millions of dollars to do with it what takes me $80 for a Raspberry Pi and $15 for a domain name to do with ActivityPub.

This is very recent news but there is a group of people on Bluesky that are looking at setting up their own PDS, but it feels clear to me that the system as designed is so heavily biased against third parties doing this. It’s just such a completely different vibe compared to ActivityPub platforms that are built so strongly around the goal of making it easy to do in order to make it more widely distributed.

We’re just asking people to be COVID-safe to the best of their judgement.

Some of the best advancements in Canadian social programs have been spearheaded by the NDP, pulling the Liberals to the left. The NDP have, on more than one occasion, held the balance of power and used it to support Liberal minority governments. Pulling support away from Carney in a leftist direction is in no way equivalent to what happened in the most recent American election. We don’t live in a two party system, and I’d very much like to see it kept that way lest we become more like the Americans in yet another way.
