Yes, we should all only drive everywhere for the safety of someone falling off a scooter. /s

The thing is that we aren’t the target audience for these things. The target audience is for moronic Tech CEOs who will waste astronomical amounts of money buying VR headsets and forcing all their employees to use them. They’ll use the headsets for a couple of weeks until they start getting Broken and the staff start…

There is a worse problem - the 3 Laws don’t work, which is why Asimov developed them as a way to generate stories concerning how they can fail.

Any idea what the monetization will look like? I’m instantly wary of free to play games, as those usually come with nasty monetization systems attached.

G Gundam rules. Your head breaks, you are disqualified.

Rolling coal. Yes we get it, you hate the environment, Prius’, and bicyclists. There’s probably a bumper sticker for that.

My wife and I have gone on 5 cruises and we are now in our mid-30s.

I definitly think this is being blown out of proportion. The fact is the QA testing is a lot of long tedious work and any way to reduce the need for human beings to do tedious work is a good thing. The important thing is that every automation brings about new positions that are more fulfilling. If an AI can spend the…

“Heart” is and has been a metaphor for ages, nobody would ever use “heartless” in a literal sense.

I guess I have two things to say here

I haven’t played this game, but in some ways I feel like I learned more about the author in this than the game. So I’ll simply say this - hardships are not inevitable or unfixable. Humanity may be in a bad place, but it was in a worse place before, and it will be in a better place tomorrow. Global poverty has gone…

Ah yes, more folks are working and have a bit more money than they have in 30+ years so now inflation is our fault. Not the price gouging and stock buy backs, or the PPP loan forgiveness, it’s the regular folks who’ve been scraping by for decades.

How heavy will this thing be? Ya know, in case someone actually wanted to take it offroad, or into the sand dunes?

The people voicing their concern are not the consumers, it’s the publishers : their wares were on display in a high traffic store and they will now be displayed in a low traffic store. 

Because of multiple D&D feature films that exist *already*. (To say nothing of the animated series.)

Honestly I am not sure why everyone is hating on this trailer. It looks fun. It looks like they have actual D&D monsters. Chris Pine is a bard!

Extremely narrow.  There are so many out there that are not profoundly queer.  Sure, queer people play them, but so do white heteronormative people.

“D&D is hot right now, largely because queer roleplayers have made it shine”

Look I’d love if we queers could take credit for this but dude that’s an interesting choice for planting a flag. That you skip over Stranger Things is weird, which (along with Critical Role, which you mention) I feel did a LOT more to bring it…

“Be it queer-only actual play podcasts that chart out across epic adventures for hours at a time every week, or powerful new RPGs like Thirsty Sword Lesbians, the modern TTRPG renaissance is profoundly queer and, from the looks of things, this film is not brave enough to take the same chance.”

Your view of nerd culture…

Uh, I’ve played in more D&D campaigns than I could count and “Hope you like classic rock, because it’ll likely be another skin-deep thrill ride more suitable for a theme park” pretty much sums up Dungeons and Dragons. Most D&D games aren’t deep, introspective, philosophical, high-brow literature and this movie (if the…
