Didn’t the animal tests lead to pretty bad deaths? And wasn’t that less than a year ago? I can’t imagine this going well.
Plus there was the blind-tech that was revealed not too long ago where now that they’re bankrupt the group is slowly going blind and worse. I feel like none of this is going to end well.
So really you’re only playing moderator because you’re for it, and don’t want people to vote against it.
I mean,
I don’t think psychology is meant to help people.
It’s neutral, neither good or evil. While you can argue it’s pretty dark how deep the psychology can go, it’s hard to go into a deep evaluation of that.
I mean, VR is a thing still. It’s just still niche at the moment. I don’t think it has to be the main way to enjoy entertainment.
That said, I’m pretty sure the glasses you want are AR, not VR (Augmented reality)
It’d be nice to trace an artwork back to it’s source. But I don’t think this is actually practical.
No, it was indeed with the idea that someone would cut you with a knife which would require stitches.
It’s like 30 years old from when hospitals were…expensive still yes, but not that bad.
Well, the problem with the glitches I was thinking of was basically:
-You have to play a worse version of the game. This was a majora’s mask glitch. It relied on a bug that allowed you to “wrong warp” to the Japanese Debug Menu. The problem was basically it required you to increment a hidden index to over 8000. Which crashed the N64 version. The second issue is the debug menu requires the directional pad, which isn’t mapped correctly on the Wii version. Which basically meant playing on the Wii U version which has input lag among other issues that make it…not very fun to play when speed running. Basically it doesn’t play right.
-The other was an RNG glitch in Ocarina of Time. It worked on trying to get a bottle by the deku tree, which allowed you to do a very broken glitch that brought you right to Ganon to fight the final boss. The problem with that one is that it required you to trigger a pickup sequence in a specific way that allowed an enemy to knock you out of it. The only enemy drop that does this is the first deku seed of the game, and the enemies that were found using this method…had a low rate of dropping the deku seed. In theory it was the fastest run at the time, but on it’s first showcase it went over the allotted time because the seeds didn’t drop correctly until 30m into the run.
So in one case you had to use a version of the game that played awful to increment a hidden table 8000 times. And in another case you had to hope glitch went off without a hitch or you started over. And aside from the drop rate for the second glitch, it could also fail if the deku seed just dropped in the wrong place.
Glitches aren’t cheating. They’re using knowledge about the game’s internal workings. This is how the combo system that became the core of fighting games came about.
Maybe you could argue TAS (tool assisted speedrun), but I’ve always gathered thats more for proof of concept
And it’s probably worth mentioning that glitches still need to be fun. There have been speedrun scenes hurt because the most optimal method made the game less fun to play.
I feel like your last sentence is a pretty big problem that doesn’t require a “what else?”
We should be trying to make sports safer for the people being exploited, not less.
I mean…if you want unmodded entirely, don’t you just go to 4chan?
You need some moderation and they can’t all be exploitive self entitled if that can be argeed on. it has be working somehow
I mean, when it’s literally the only option you have…
I remember when I first moved here I even called Verizon first. The rep told me, plain and flatout, that comcast, his competitor, was who I had to call, and there was no other provider in my area.
I do buy music.
I know most people don’t and won’t though.
You can’t make a solution that ignores evil and apathetic exists.
That just leaves us nowhere to go though. We know artists aren’t paid enough, but if our only answer is the one that clearly takes them out of business, then it’s just sitting on a soapbox while another company comes in and does the same thing.
Either the solution has to be feasible or someone will eventually show up to ignore it.
To reemphasize, this is regarding “they have the market because they’re free”, it’s not regarding something else like just paying the artists more, or getting a better deal with labels.
Free is literally why they have the market they have. Completely silly point.
You can’t assume the price point changes and the market remains the same as well. It’s more complicated than that. We literally have talks of people leaving Netflix every other week from the constant changes being made this year.
I don’t get why people think this is an issue. armed Americans are generally shown going against incompetent, untrained police officers. Not the Military who is also just armed better than Americans are legally allowed to be.
Most gun law defenders also tend to overlook this too in fact. If the government wants to make armed citizens stop, they will do it.
So…it’s not an HP printer?
Companies are also a shitshow who defrauds consumers. Especially ISPs. I don’t see how this is remotely an argument.
Like it isn’t even an argument. ISPs rank highest among the worst companies in the country.
I feel like the fact an ISP can just flatout say that should really scream oligopoly issues. Not just the fact the other company is just as bad, but the fact that they (the competitor) is fully aware that the switch is too costly to do.
Because the audio quality would be really good?
There’s already tons of concerts that are done virtual…
I mean to be fair, if it’s been 50 years it’s probably becoming a lot more difficult for them to do concerts anyway
To be fair, only a handful of publishers were able to take their cards and go elsewhere. The media companies were a lot more on top of dragging their products off of Netflix.
Nobody would be on steam just for Valve games, after all, and indie has a much lower barrier of entry.
While they could certainly distribute their current products better, a lot of the issues they have now (see: belated frogs comment) aren’t things they really had control over.
