Am genuinely surprised this wasn't added until now, VRChat has had it for years. And it really shows how quickly they had to implement it that there isn't even an off switch. In VRChat it is common practice turning it off since it

AR will definitely be bigger, it will be a game changer, who needs to buy a TV or extra monitors at that point. But I disagree that VR is anti-social, it is not exactly the same as being irl social, but the success of VRChat (a social VR pl

Not many ways you can convert crypto into money if the banks aren't in on it, or allowed to be in on it. But for every other use of ethereum it is definitely harder to block, not that there are very many other uses right now. And EU co

If the EU actually wanted to "take down" ethereum then they have a few avenues they could take. I think it is technically already illegal for EU citizens's data to exist on non-EU blockchains, so a legal cryptocurrency could

However, unlike "chilling", "fika" does require you to be eating/drinking something for the definition of it to apply. Sure, you could skip it, but any swede who hears that word will know that a break like it should

You are missing the fact that people who aren't hyped about crypto don't see it as a feature or a reason to switch launcher. Epic hinged on being able to bring in tons of costumers to the Epic Games Store using Fortnite (A bigger
