The actual reality of game design is that the standard "you are a camera on a model walking around a level" causes motion sickness in VR. Most games that tuned toward VR have the player character sitting in a car/fighter cockpit, so as to avoid motion sickness.

Consequently, you're literally spending 600 bucks for gaming system that will only enjoyably play racing games.

From what I've observed it's not so much moving that's a problem in VR, but turning, specifically turning acceleration/deceleration, something that's mitigated a lot when you're a third person camera watching your avatar rather than first person and inside the avatar's head. It seems counter intuitive, but I think we're gonna see a lot of different genres you wouldn't expect in VR just using a third person view. It's not a platform that you're gonna wanna play on for 4 hours straight and motion sickness isn't a total non-issue, but it can be managed. People get motion sick with non-VR FPSs as well and that was a bigger problem when Wolfenstein 3D first came out before developers figured out how to deal with it and gamers got used to that perspective. This is no different.

But yeah, gently caress that price tag.

It's the perfect price. They're selling more than they can manufacture and they should charge as much as they possibly can while that holds.

Did we watch the same video? Trying to jam the gas cap on would mean removing the nozzle from the car, which is the one thing you should never do, because THIS happens

Were we talking about the video? The guy asked what to do if the gas tank was already on fire, not 'what should this lady in the video have done in her case'. Still not saying my idea is the best way to handle it either.

Basically I said 'wow your way is probably right as can be and I'm stupid so Id do it wrong.' and your reply is 'why cant you see that your way is dumb?' Agree to agree?

Yes, duh, we are watching the same video. Yes duh i am talking about what to do when the nozzle is already inserted and a fire erupts, because do you see what happens when you pull the nozzle out? Thats the part im talking about. Go ahead, pull the nozzle out. Even let go out the trigger so it doesn't spray everywhere.

What sounds like the safer bet: leaving the situation as it is and hitting the e-stop and letting it burn off, or pulling the handle out and exposing more surface area to the loving flames.

Looks to me like things burn out pretty quickly, so long as more literal fuel isnt added to the literal fire.

There's some schadenfreude here in the sense of "haha, you got caught. nannana". It's extremely interesting though.

It's a Canadian detective getting a serial killer and rapist(And an Air Force Colonel to boot!) to confess after confronting him with forensic evidence. The Detective plays him like an absolute fiddle. I linked to the part where the Detective starts to show him the evidence but the actual confession doesn't happen until 20 minutes later. Trust me and watch where I started it though, it's an absolute pro-click.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsLbDzkIy3A&t=2097s

I'm honestly not seeing the schadenfreude. That is absolutely one of the most horrifying things I've ever watched :gonk:
That detective is stone-cold loving business though.

It's the culture more than anything. In most places in the world, smiling is part of a pleasant conversation. In Russia, smiling unbidden is seen as a sign that you're an idiot. I can't really describe just how fundamentally different Russians are to Americans. Russians are kind of like anti-Americans. Pretty much every value that Americans hold dear, well, Russians hold the opposite view. Americans like democracy? Russians like authoritarian governments. Americans believe in self-determination. Russia believes in self-determination...of other Russians. Americans strongly believe in the individual identity. Most Russians have the opposite view.

Plus, most people alive in Russia right now lived through the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the '90s in Russia were baaaaaad.

I think the biggest schadenfreude is watching the talking heads from the 'old guard' of doormen trying to wrap their head around the newer guys not "bein 'ard enuff" and instead defusing situations 90% of the time. It's like watching an ape trying to understand chess and they just can't stand that their brand of "just hospitalise someone for mouthing off" doesn't apply anymore.

OK so that imgur post starts out saying that the kid is only mostly blind and also autistic then at the end it says that he isn't at all disabled? Also the bully says that the blind kid attacked him and really wanted to fight but in the video the bully is wailing on the blind kid whos just holding his arms up trying to not get hit while kids are in a circle watching and recording. I'm just gonna go ahead and believe the recorded evidence and dismiss the eye witness testimony.

Blind kid went picking a fight, the "bully" didn't know the kid was blind. If a person that comes picking a fight ends up being on the losing end I don't think that the other person is going to stop immedately.

Still feel bad for the blind kid, probably some misguided poo poo made him think he should pick a fight.
