  • Don’t believe the ads. They are just trying to hype something that is too early for its time.

    VR tech can, and it will, revolutionise gaming. It’s just a question of when. Headsets are too heavy and require wires which impedes movement. VR glasses are developed by big tech and are perfect for privacy invasions, plus their batteries don’t last anywhere near long enough.

    Smartphones had already been invented nearly a decade before iPhones came out, but they were too early. The tech wasn’t ready. Look at where they are now. Solar panels were invented nearly a century ago but didn’t take off until then entire supply chain and manufacturing chain was built nearly 80 years later. The friggin helicopter was invented centuries ago and so were planes. You will find countless other examples.

    Right now, we’re trying to make it possible to conceive children without any sex and to grow them in external wombs. This has been a quest for decades and we might not see it bear fruit for a few decades more.

    Just because they have failed so far doesn’t mean they will always be failures. Every failure narrows the problem space to points of success.






  • And, of course, just in case you’re the type of centrist hack

    I grow weary of limited USAian “there are only two truths” viewpoint. It’s high time we cut the cord from US media and all the bullshit opinions that come with it. They have managed to make being rational and level-headed a curse word. “centrist” 🙄 People who unironically use that word in a derogatory fashion sound like those who still believe in things like the disney portrayal of the world. “real love”, “true love”, “forever and ever”



  • As if it’d be better run by private interests in the US 😂

    The letter was sent on January 22 and suggests the debt-financed $55 billion acquisition, which will purportedly result in PIF holding a 93.4 percent stake in the Battlefield and Apex Legends publisher, will incentive layoffs, offshoring, studio closures, and other cost-cutting measures.

    “incentive”

    Also, isn’t this what yanks have been doing for decades? Don’t seppo businesses regularly fire a bunch of employees before the end of the financial year to have “record-breaking fourth quarter” and then hire back a bunch of people? Painting the Saudis as worse capitalists than the USAians is just hilarious
