I remember being taken to DC as a 10 year old, a year or two after the metro opened. I felt like I was living in Logan’s Run times. So cool. More recently, I revisited the metro, and felt like I was in Fallout Times. Also cool.

I’m a guy who gets woozy in certain situations (reading in cars, watching other people play FPS’s on big screens, riding on boats on the ocean). But I will say something. I tried Google Cardboard, and that was a big old NOPE! for me - too much lag, too low a framerate. Major nausea.

He could have done literally anything else beside slam her down face first (if you look at the other video, he airlifts her and pivots her face first into the floor, with a horrifying crack). It’s not like she was a 300lb whacked out guy brandishing a kitchen knife; she was a tiny unarmed drunk woman, with stringbean…

I also gravitate towards strong, independent women. Thing is, the ones I end up with are also generally quite mean.

Nah - non-cops are trained in techniques to to takedowns and holds (security guards, prison guards, special ed teachers, etc) that will not cause injury. He just flat out used his weight and strength advantage to slam her - no technique, no regard for her safety.

My best friend moonlighted as a hospital security guard while in college. They received training in holds and takedowns, because the facility had a lockdown psych ward and “lively” ER.

SPCA all the way!

They should just drop the whole “having pets is wrong” position. Pet owners are the mostly like people to back PETA’s other causes. I believe in much of what PETA’s about. But when they hint that I’m a jerk for having a dog?

Dump a can of hormels chili in there and Bob’s yer uncle.

I’m all about Retro when on the road. On the road right now, with my corporate laptop loaded to the gills with retroarch & roms. Plus shaders to make it all look like I’m playing on a fuzzy 1982 TV. Played some Phantasy Star (Sega Master System) last night.

They could close every episode with, “In Beijing, they serve it as food”. Now I’ve never been, but I have been to Shanghai several times, have visited restaurants, and talked to locals about this very issue. Suffice it to say, if it moves, they eat it, and, like, every part of it.

Right - the image on a tablet is great. Their terrific to hold, and look at. Maybe occasionally swipe at. But holding and constantly poking at them is a bit uncomfortable for extended periods.

I’d strap a box jellyfish to my head if it meant I would actually feel like I’m inside an Elder Scrolls game.

Thing is: until and unless science finds a way to push visual information into the brain while bypassing the eyes (which would also be the end of blindness as a thing), VR will have to put stuff into the eyeballs, and block out outside info. Something like this or smaller maybe the best we could hope for (swimmers…

Yeah, and I like gross shit. Yuck, I’m ill. Had to stop after 2.

10 years ago I was taken to a hostess bar in Kabukicho by a local colleague. His English was only so-so, and he said something about going to a place "with girls". I told him, "No thank you - I'm a married guy." And he said, "Don't worry."

I didn't watch the video - what does Ric Okasek of the Cars have to say on this subject?

Same thing here - only I was 24. Was given a 485sx/25 with 4MB. Kept upgrading it. First with sound/dc room, then RAM, then a 486dx/50, then more RAM.

The amount of time spent on graphics supersedes gameplay mechanics

It's universally true that men are more desperate than women when it comes to dating. A decent-looking guy has to work harder than a decent-looking woman. That's just the nature of things. So it stands to reason that it applies not just to the 8's and 9's, but also the 3's and 2's.
