That's quite harsh, and definitely not accurate.

I somewhat agree except that you can still make the screen however big you want, and the pixel density is the same across the new area. Clarity has been totally fine for work reading text on, if I were inclined to code in VR that would tota

You're gonna love where VR is at right now. If you had been holding off until it's good enough, then I think you've timed it well. The Quest 3 from an experience point of view was the watershed headset for me, but the ecosyst

Then this is actually much closer than previous headsets? There is a lot going on to render the desktop in a tracked 3D space, all that has to happen somewhere. If you're expecting to plug a HDMI cable into a headset and have a good ti

I am unsure if it's possible, it's just a really bad location for a mic. It is somewhat inevitable to pickup background noise so I suspect you would need a lot of signal processing to filter and reconstruct a decent signal. The fo

It great, I am not thrilled with the controls but experiencing the scale of everything is wild. Those brain squid things are enormous.

Ha! That's great. I have a little box of small Japanese train headmarks I offer. They're like little raised button stickers. It's a great way to filter for the fun and curious people.

It's a good observation, I certainly don't see much of it in agency meetings. I meet with a lot of different industries too and it's pretty rare, I imagine they all have company laptops.

I agree, in Australia you see plenty of them on laptops, water bottles and just out in the street like you said. We do have a lot of stickers on cars too but it's more common to see them on windows of the car not the car body, and I th

I have a bunch of stickers from hobbies like bikes and sim racing. I guess it serves a similar purpose!

I am only just learning this space but I believe you can set udev rules to get some USB devices working that might otherwise be failing. Worth a tinker.

You can look out to other economies to see how software plays out in a "normal" market, not a VC and mega-corp backed one. Salaries in those economies for software are like you are predicting, in line with other skilled profession

Interesting, anecdotally I would say all my more serious gaming friends hit this at some point. But it takes serious consecutive hours in game. Something interesting about VR gaming is the very heightened sense of spatial involvement. If I

The trade off is worth it in this case. Those are technical hurdles, when the issue we are trying to solve is data sovereignty then those hurdles become incidental complexity. Of course you could also roll your own telemtry, which is genera

I enjoyed the new aspect ships brought to crafting, and there's something special about walking around your own ship while it's in transit. But otherwise totally agree, it was kind of just space combat arenas and not much more.

For hiring purposes, and standing on top of the legacy built before you. Same reason people still build stuff in PHP and Wordpress. Is it wise? Depends! Does your team have strong technical guidance, and a long term outlook on the strength

To your last paragraph I think contextualising the mystery is a good amount of the fun and I guess all of the storytelling. There's a lot of things about our real world, that if told by an alien race, would make us sound like ethereal

Oh wow it was SWG? It truly was ahead of its time, I don't think any one game has come close to implementing such a rewarding group of systems and economy in an MMORPG, except maybe EVE but that is a very different game and admittedly

Oh I wasn't really referring to tone or language like that, I also don't particularly like it and prefer concise clear language. While LLMs can totally achieve that, I want to know a human decided to do it that way. At some point

There's no way I'm trusting the current driving cohort with a third dimension. If we get flying cars and they aren't completely autonomous, I am moving to the sticks.

In Japan there's a subset of cars called Kei or small cars, and they're very popular due to the lower tax, initial cost, fuel consumption and ease of parking. In states of Australia registration is more expensive depending on the

I agree with you however I believe weight and safety are in a complex relationship right now, which has nothing to do with performance and handling. Unfortunately I feel much less safe in a Fiat 500 when a significant portion of cars in the
