  • Does he not know that using the atom bombs to kill civilians was kind of considered a bit of a no-no?

    The justification that “it ended the war early, actually ‘saving’ lives” is moot, killing civilians to save soldiers, is pretty much strongly considered the opposite of the point. It is a war crime.

    Not having been charged with it, isn’t something you want to go poking at. Everyone has kind of loosely agreed to leave it in the past. But that doesn’t have to stay the case if you make people upset enough like that.





  • That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it’s 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.

    But, what I’m curious about… how is this a “shoes on” occasion?





  • I game on one virtual representation of my real monitor at 4k60hz, and one entirely virtual monitor at 4k120hz. When I am playing a game my sister wants to watch, I play it on the screen that also exists in real life. When I am playing just for me, I play it on the 120hz screen. They are one on top of each other, at the touch of a button they swap exact places with each other. I put the one I’m playing on currently at the bottom.

    The main reason I do top/bottom is because the screens are quite large. About the equivalent of sitting a foot away from my real 55 inch TV, but the screens are 20 feet away for eye comfort. So I can effectively only see one screen at a time as they each nearly fill my vision. As big as they can be without having to turn my neck to see parts of them. The top monitor is tilted down towards me, and basically on the roof. Oh, I should mention I generally play from a recliner when playing desktop games, so even the lower monitor is tilted down to face me.

    When I want to play something in ultra-wide, the virtual screen can be set to 5740x1080 at 120hz(equal to 3 1080p screens side by side, but as one screen, flat or curved to any degree you want), but for the most part anything that works in ultra-wide works in VR, and full VR is likely gonna be the better option.

    Although most of the time I’m playing full VR games and standing to play them. No apparent screens there, just living in the game.

    That’s literally the exact same thing. They don’t have a criminality problem as a people, they have a profiling problem and an inability to be seen as equal when looking for work. The only thing perpetuating the stereotype is the widespread acceptance of the stereotype. It is the exact same systemic racism as every other kind. You are indeed perpetuating racism against them.

    It only doesn’t feel like racism to you because it’s the opinion you hold.

    But your words are the exact same words, for the exact same reason that other racists use them.








  • Cv1 was significantly more expensive than a Quest 2. Like, double the price. Even Quest 3 is cheaper, assuming you want the best version of Quest 3.

    A rift cv1 nowadays would be a pretty bad deal even if you got it for free.

    Could you imagine someone getting a 10 year old cellphone?

    What about someone getting a 10 year old cellphone 10 years ago, like, the first smartphone, when everyone else was using an iphone 8 or galaxy s8.

    That is the era VR was in 10 years ago. CV1 was fine back then. But it is caveman VR now.
