ok i figured out pk's malfunction. for him vr is just another modality. just a different thing plugged in to your hdmi out.

what blakula and i have been talking about is a setup that achieves the sense of presence. pk is dumb because he for some reason he doesn't get that achieving presence is what makes vr at all interesting and is the only and entire reason it's worth shelling out for the hardware required to achieve it.

I think my view is well that's nice and all but VR isn't going to achieve poo poo if it's just some rich kids toy from the beginning, and they're going to have to make compromises on price even if it means making compromises on tech so that people have to run lower quality stuff

A good way to impress people with VR is to re-release a decade old game and the spergiest spergfest ever

yes this seems like a smart business move and a realistic thing someone would do

all you would need is to make it reasonably priced enough that parents will buy their kids a minecraft hat for Christmas 2016

I spent 2 hours one afternoon playing virtual boy despite the warnings until my eyes started to get really sore. When I pulled my head out, I looked around my bedroom and blinked. Nothing. Darkness everywhere, even though my eyes were open. I broke out into a cold sweat and started clawing at the ground, cursing myself until I looked up and saw something. My alarm clock. The sun had set 30 minutes ago and I was playing in a dark bedroom since.

How’d it go? Firewatch’s budget, while huge for us, was modest for a game of its quality and scope, but we made our investment back in about one day. Firewatch has sold around 500,000 full-price copies in its first month.
