Spaceflight is a dangerous and exacting business, with each mission presenting it own set of problems. The acceptable margins for error may grow as we advance our knowledge and equipment, but spaceflight may never be routine. One must always be mindful of the hazards.

Of course they don’t...There is no sickness in Googlandia...The servers constantly monitor and adjust all environmental factors. Genetic testing ensures that no “undesirable” factors enter the pool...Utopia I tell you!

I never could get the hang of Thursdays

Yes, but it’s Thursday!

I actually saw Titan AE in a theater. I was alone in the room.

Anyone would think they had an improbability drive to protect them.

I read a number of his Conan pastiches in my youth. Didn’t know about the “spicier” stuff, though.

Oh man, I love reading about old pulp writers and novels.

Exactly. And the sheep will continue to argue about its “level of offensiveness” or w/e stupid thing they want to debate. Spoiler alert: your opinion on the topic doesn’t matter here.

Ok, they mime putting a gun to their heads, but it’s not like they’re actually killing themselves. Just as other people have pointed out, people often mime suicide in real life when extremely bored or annoyed. And why would anyone get shaken by seeing a suicide in a game where a major game mechanic is trying to shoot…

LOL, no. How many times when you were in school did you pretend to shoot yourself, while listening to a boring teacher? probably all the time. Also VR is NOT a fully visceral experience, you don’t actually feel anything that happens. Hence you don’t really feel like you blew up when playing Keep Talking and Nobody…

Contriversy at its worst. Like the “question” up there with no response:

Competition is a poor excuse to justify the lowering of the impact of murder over suicide.

Aim at your feet in doom???

oh god...we got to put an end to this paranoid safety shit. Yes you should be penalized... 1 death from suicide maybe more respawn time.. thats it.

Why do you think that killing oneself in VR is worse than killing others? Is VR suicide really worse than VR murder? Why is that so?

and you sound like because you personally think its too much for you t handle, others shouldn’t be able to experience it.

You’re playing a game where you kill people.

Hey you’re within the lines. That’s huge!

My prediction: The first application will be for the sex toy industry.
If it succeeds there, it will have a future, also outside it.
