Just FYI, “Age of consent in Japan is very low at 13” is a “fact” that you see often parroted around libertarian circles online but isn’t the whole truth.  While that is the minimum nationally mandated age of consent, every prefecture has their own laws that define their own age of consent; in practice, the minimum is…

“Foreigner” doesn’t have a negative connotation in Japan, you dumbass. Good job being an ignorant racist yourself while trying to call other people out for racism. Absolute clown, lol.

Go where I want, when I want , for as long as I want. Granted, this applied more to when I was single, but still..

As best as I can tell, given that I’ve never been a Japanese student and never seen the content of their history books, it’s about the same as any other country to an umpteenth degree. That is, history is a tool for patriotism and nationalism, and it is manipulated in such a way to paint the country as mostly the good…

Always makes me think of this:

Mischief Makers offered the D-pad as an alternate control option and it was superior (in fact, it was impossible to get 100% completion with only the control stick).

Can’t wait for The Gamers™ to start bitching about a black girl being in their norse-themed game. 

Yeah it’s such a shame that they don’t try to copycat the latest crazes like every other game developer on Earth already does.

Microsoft, the corporation, is considered ‘liberal’? Or are you suggesting that whoever crafted this list was liberal?

If you dont mind the facebook requirement the Quest 2 is $300* , and it’ll work as a PC headset for anything with a NVidia 1060 or higher , so its not that expensive now(as well as running its own games/app standalone) .  

Except it’s entirely different this time around. The last big push with VR was at a time when we didn’t have battery tech that could power a handheld anything properly, let alone everything else including simple but accurate sensors that were also small enough.

It’s a coping mechanism for some children/people. It’s alright to not have the thing I don’t have because the thing I have is faaaaar superior to the thing I don’t have. Without it, they feel as if they’re missing out on something or that someone different than them is “better” than them, which are very painful…

By masses I mean the millions of people who wanted VR but couldn’t afford a high end PC and VR headset. It was a great option and opened the door to VR gaming to millions of people. 

Trypophobia is made-up internet meme, like hating the word “moist” or having strong feelings about pineapple on pizza.

This is kind of a misconception that I frequently see.

The Index sold 103,000 units just in the 4th quarter of 2019 and PSVR has sold over 5 million, you absolute clown. Just because you don’t own one, doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t.

That doesn’t say what you think it says.

Starred for the counter point. 

For all games or only some? It took me some time to get my “VR leg” settled at first and I would get headaches in games that didn’t have comfort mode when moving. The worst I had at first was games where you could have sliding movement that just stop dead when you stop pushing buttons. Of course the big plastic smell…

Gaming got popular, and a subset of people who built their identity around gaming being non-popular are hostile of anything that gives it wider appeal.
