i tried elite dangerous with the oculus dk2 a couple years ago and it was cool as hell, although not really ready for primetime since the map wasn't navigable and a lot of text was real tough to read. dunno if it's been improved but the vive's resolution is no better than dk2's.

No, not the undecides; they're just republicans too chickenshit to say so. I mean people who are disgusted out because the only choices are nazis and Democrats who refuse to fight nazis. Juggalo--types. People who voted in 2012 but not 2016.

According to Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, the soldiers were deployed to Syria to keep peace among the myriad militias and other forces who have temporarily set aside longstanding feuds to focus on repelling ISIS from Manbij. “It’s a visible reminder, for anybody who’s looking to start a fight, that the only fight that should be going on right now is with ISIS,” Davis told the Associated Press.

they hosed up 2016 really, really, reeaaaally badly. A couple of important streams were botched so badly that nobody really could even defend them. It was extremely funny.

Around august they had a 'live gameplay' demo (3.0) which renewed the faithful. It was a pretty clearly scripted and mangled proof of concept that they sold as a fleshed out prototype. They said it would be out before the end of the year

At the rear end end of 2016 they pushed a patch with their FPS thing Star Marine, like 18 months past due, and it has two levels and movement lag 10x worse than its competitors. No word on 3.0 months after it was supposed to be out and people are really upset.

Think there's a lot of people waking up and realize they've been conned by a talentless hack who can never deliver what he sold and doesn't intend to

I shook hands with Pence back when he was still Governor and when I was still willing to meet and greet with Republicans in polite company. Generally not a connoisseur of handshakes, but I had a Hank Hill moment when that clammy palm hit mine. I asked him if he had any plans to use the ACA's Interstate Compact provision to sell across state lines while adhering to the law's federal guidelines and he told me his No. 1 priority was freeing all the people on Medicaid from government tyranny.

I was just coming out of a rough bout with influenza at the time, so I'm hoping I gave him a bad week or two at least. I also get asked about it by Republican family members every God drat day now that he's Vice President and they're so dejected when I can't hide my contempt for that soft-fingered gently caress.
