I can imagine people testing the hell out of it on blue cheese and rotting blue cheese and even more immature tests like when someone farts or something.

I didn’t put a dime into my headset after Meta took it over so I didn’t pay much attention but I don’t know of many innovations from that 80B. I’m sure there’s people who really work in it which can name some tools or libraries or games they thought were great but I don’t think anything broke into the mainstream? The main VR games that I know of are HL: Alyx, Beat Saber, and Superhot. I can’t believe with 80B there hasn’t been another die hard game or application that hasn’t broke into the mainstream.

I love Nintendo. I’ve bought every single one of their consoles. I am skipping the Switch 2 though.

I feel like giving someone a Switch 2 is a bit like a white elephant. I can’t say that I’m a fan of what’s happening lately. It’s a shame because the industry is where it is because of them. It’s a shame they can’t treat their customers a little better.

This Futurama joke makes more sense now: https://youtube.com/watch?v=qAur04gWg3s

There’s something that happens to your brain when you get lots of money it seems.

Sam Bankman-Fried the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was an effective altruist with a few of his coworkers and their goal was helping people. I was reading up on them and it was initially about feeding people and earning money to give to others. When they started getting more and more money they were like: “what if there’s a zombie outbreak?” Obviously, we’re really smart and society needs people like us to survive so we should be spending money on private islands and having our own country to make sure we can keep humanity going or some shit. It was weird.

Despite what anything thinks about Bill Burr now … I think he had a really good point about these “end of the world” catastrophes – I simply don’t want to be alive for any of them. I don’t wanna be scrounging around the remnants of humanity with a dying ecosystem and dwindling human race.

I like it when John Oliver was talking about how shit Ivanka is and said something like, “it looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the orange”

I skimmed it but anyone that’s been or going to go to these places call me if they still ask for a tip :P

I would love those but I have blinds and am all thumbs with DIY. I have a sleeping mask and it works pretty good.

Oh sorry, it’s a common thing in my area that that’s a sarcastic response. I thought you baited me.

I read it wrong. Apologies.

Anyways, I was entirely serious … it’s a weird feature to put into a controller but I get the nerd factor appeal of it. I can’t confirm it first hand though, I’m waiting to get my hands on one.

I was responding earnestly because I thought it was polite. That’s my mistake.

When you drop the Steam controller it plays the Wilheim scream noise. They were trying it out repeatedly agitating their wife in trying something so senseless until it worked to her astonishment.

Driven by Nazis.

Unprepared for China.

Hated by Canadians.

Ugly on the inside.

Riddled with debt.

No one’s really buying it.

I knew some bad devs that didn’t have CS degrees. They joined because they thought the money would be good and the companies wanted to reduce labour costs.

It’s really hard to explain to someone what loops are that doesn’t get it.

However some of the “worst” devs that I’ve worked with aren’t incompetent coders. They’re good “coders” that are fucking shit to work with. They refuse to fix their own bugs, blame you for their mistakes, ignore your feedback and management fucking loves them and gives them carte blanche. I’m talking over ten years ago but we implemented some cache system who refused to publish their docs online to “strengthen” relationships with their customers. Anyways, the dude implements it, doesn’t document anything (much like the product itself). Days past after implementation and I see what looks like a cache bug and I say, “Sergii, can we look at this together?” His reply? “No, I’m sick of looking at it” … I go to the manager and he says, “yeah I get what he means, I’d not wanna looks at it either” … great.

Just wanted you to know that I just learned what litote is, thanks to you.

and robot dogs!

I agree with in principle but I don’t think Dave Chappelle is the example that you’re looking for

To forgive, they need to be sorry. They’re not sorry.

Most of them are writing fanfic about what happened (it was antifa! it was a tour! – psst it was a takeover but we’ll lie!). They never concede points in discussions (they don’t admit Biden won the election) so it’s hard to even understand what they actually believe.

What do I hear? We need to make amends and reach over the aisle. Like FFS. I hope they’re the first that suffer from their own policies.
