Admiralty Flag posted:But I digress. They may have become popular because of clean bathrooms -- though I doubt clean bathrooms alone led to these abominations, especially as, e.g., Love's tends to have clean bathrooms -- but I don't think that's the only reason. Part of it is what must be what Umberto Eco described as "hyperreality": it's the idealized version of a truck stop, a truck stop as run by Disney complete with anthropomorphized quadruped mascot, but without the baggage of an actual truck stop -- no trucks, no truckers, and nothing that 'they' bring with them. Weirdly enough, first time I saw that logo, I just assumed it was a logo from a game or movie or something, designed to look like the real thing without treading on any copyrights. "Hyper reality" is a good phrase.

Aw man, I was going to say I grew up in the DFW area where they’re based and have a lot of good memories of seeing them play live a bunch of times. My dads a guitarist and chatted with them couple times since he always escorted my sister and I to shows. I never heard of any bad stuff, but now as an adult, probably yeah bands

I'm grateful they exist but both are always chronically understaffed and the turnover is higher than the customers are 3 am, so it feels bad to patronize them.

Nuts and Gum posted:lmao what is going on with this? Why is the chosen green screen effect a hotel room? Reminds me of the person who setup a full body tracking system in VRChat so he could actually throw himself on furniture while other avatars watched in delight Side-note, but full-body tracking's actually relatively common in VRChat; All you need, assuming you have an externally-tracked VR setup like a Vive or Index to start with, is three Vive or Tundra Trackers (hips and feet) and it'll interpolate everything between. You can actually use up to eleven tracking points now (Elbows, knees, and chest, is the typical placement for the extra Trackers I believe), but that's really only for style points and some very impressive dancing skills. (There's a couple of other janky ways to do full-body, like with a Kinect, to a less-precise fidelity)
