It’s really weird how you keep making this discussion about me as if I am the VR. It doesn’t matter to ME that you are choosing to miss out on something great, so my skin is not part of the equation at all. I’m just here to let people know that you’re wrong and that people can have a cool experience with that technology.
There’s the douchebag who shows up every time to shit on good technology because it’s not catering to their whims perfectly.
If you want that software, get to fucking work on it then. Make some kind of contribution beyond shitting on things.
It’s fine if you don’t want one, but my VR headset get used daily and was a great investment. Once you get used to good VR games, the rest of the video games in 2D just begin to pale in comparison. One example is Assetto Corsa (racing sim) which I could not win any races in in 2D standard mode, but when I played in VR my 3D sense of distance allowed me to actually race competitively enough to win for a change. Also it’s just pretty rad to drive racecars in full 3D view, getting the full experience of moving at high speed.
And it’s absolutely not true that there’s “no applications” for VR. You just don’t know about them because you’re against it. In my household the primary applications are gaming and exercise. There are a number of VR games that require the player to physically move a lot, enough to break a sweat on every session.
IMO the only thing wrong with Apple’s Vision Pro is the high price. I spent $1000 on my VR system and that was a lot. So when you get into the triple-thousand dollar ballpark, your market is just too tiny to grow into anything soon.
Also you can use Startpage, which works like a proxy to google
Ranch Dressing Soda says “Y’all get yer fixins” across the bottom LOL
Fixins are the things like sauces and toppings that you “fix up” your food with (FYI)
Why do people think you’re supposed to wear that all day long? I don’t think it was ever marketed as a permanent piece of headwear.
I’ve always assumed that every VR or AR system was intended to be used for a session and taken off, seems obvious.
Yep it’s gotten real obvious lately with the copy and paste formula of angry middle-aged ex-secret-agent/assassin being forced to revenge upon the evildoers that just won’t let him live in peace. That or the hot lady who used to be a secret spy assassin who wants to live peacefully but is forced to unleash karate revenge. Just a bunch of pointless rehashing with rotating cast.
Panos Cosmatos broke that mold with his revenge movie though, that’s a good exception. (Mandy)
VR is totally “there” for those who want to use it, and it does take a little more effort than plopping into a chair and clicking a mouse. But that’s life - you get more out of things you put more effort into.
No idea why you would think it’s hard to buy MP3s. I’ve never had a problem buying any, just go to the big name FAANG companies’ music store webpages or Bandcamp for FLACs. No DRM on any that I bought.
SteamVR on PC is excellent FYI. Lots of great VR games on Steam
Those reviews were wrong, there is definitely action and cars in the movie including some damn impressive Maxless Madness
You have ads on Lemmy? yuck
None here using all open source means to access.
Hell no, I don’t want no damn turkey bacon.
Thanks, I am doing pretty well in life due to those blessings.
Who gives a fuck what you think, asshole? You can eat some shit with your mouth.
Sure, a “cash grab” is why they closed the airspace over Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio today, and why members of the DoD, senators, and governors are publicly calling for more federal response.
What really seems to be going on is that there are a bunch of orb-like UFOs exploring our sensitive areas, and some secret military drones are chasing them all over the place. The gov’t is in straight bullshit mode saying there’s nothing going on, while citizens all over the place are recording videos of both orbs and drones.
Nobody is making you carry a phone I bet, it’s a choice. People can still do stuff offline and in private when needed.
AT&T always sucks. Worst ISP I ever had.
They hate building anything that benefits the public. They will always not improve the infrastructure if they can avoid it.
Did you bring that up because it’s such a good analogy for the Trump presidency? I feel like I’ve been inside a version of that story since about 2020
