Elon still doesn’t even have a robotaxi service despite promising it a decade ago, yet Waymo are doing freeways now.

Even the tiny Vegas loop is manually driven, despite being mostly through a boring company tunnel.

No you see, my fear of this is why I’ll never ever go to the gym.

Winamp-inspired UI

Why not the original skin engine?

I think it’ll largely depend on how bad it is per individual, but in my case, (one eye is perfectly fine the other was already so bad that corneal cross linking* wouldn’t be helpful) it’s pretty bad, I guess to give an idea, imagine playing VR with one eye uncovered, but the other with 2-3 copies of the image trying to fight for focus.

Life itself is fine, since the optic nerve is pretty amazing, unless I close my good eye, I don’t even really notice it. But for some reason this just doesn’t quite translate over into VR.

*Basically scratching a grid pattern into your cornea then flooding everything with vitamin B and UV - the idea being that it forms a strong matrix that resists the changes to cornea shape.

I wish I could, hopefully some day.

Keratoconus sucks, but theoretically, with a full scan of the eye and appropriate distortion shaders, I think it could be countered. (this doesn’t yet exist AFAIK)

Secure Boot requires uefi payloads to be digitally signed, Microsoft holds the signing keys.

It’s 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 for the GPU.

24GB total, non-unified.

Nurgle called in sick?

The excuse we get in Australia for why Labor have to do everything exactly the same as how the Liberal Party would do it, is that if they don’t, they won’t get elected and the Liberal Party will get in instead and do all of exactly the same things, but with a different banner.

Time for some new actual centre-left/left/far-left politicians. ‘Drain the Swamp’.

But then how will they be able to afford the cut for Voice Actors!

I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.

Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.

HR is great.

MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…

I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.

The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.

But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.

I didn’t think it was so bad I had to stop playing, but I did stop playing one night once it got late and just never started it again, nor had the desire.

It seemed fine enough, but it just didn’t click with me I guess.

turn-based game, but not turn-based battles.

What does this mean?

I can understand the blitzball distaste though, it was polarising even then.

No, Chamberlain was spineless, against the Royal Family.

Czechia gave him a plan to crush the Nazis at the first stop, they baulked, since the prince loved Nazis.

990Pro here (once had 770 80ohm, got nicked at work!!) - you can get some really nice memory foam+leather pads on ebay for them, makes a world of difference since they conform nicer and you get a slightly better seal for bass.

I’m on PC, so waaaay ahead of you.

I’m not expecting it until 2030 at the earliest. (Nov '26 for PS5, add 18-24months for the PS6 release, add 18-24 months for the PC release)

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Fuck all Microsoft Products.
