I’d actually argue that VR as a whole is totally half-baked at this point, and if it weren’t for Oculus, other developers wouldn’t be rushing their hardware to market. It still has most of the problems that caused it to fail in the ‘90s. Some of those problems are solvable with future upgrades to pixel density, etc.…

Yeah, it’s really hard to imagine there’s much of a market for these, right now. I suspect consoles are going to be awkward for a while. Moore’s Law is dead so that kind of regular speed improvement can’t be counted on, and even if it could, doubling polygons doesn’t have much of an impact anymore. The last…

It’s kind of insane that they’re doing this at all - essentially releasing a next gen console just after the start of this generation. I suspect that MS saw Sony’s plans and rushed to do the same thing for fear of being left behind. However, I wonder if being later - and possibly better - might work in their favor,…

It seems as if both Sony and Microsoft are in a weird place, having been caught off guard by 4K (and VR) and are responding to it in a rushed manner, afraid that if they don’t do so, it’ll take off and they’ll be left behind. They’re basically releasing the next console generation mid-generation, while also…

Considering the number of high-profile shootings of black men who were doing exactly what the police told them to do (and got shot anyways), that’s a breath-taking stupid thing to say.

Twice a week, on average, an unarmed black person is shot - and killed, this doesn’t even include woundings - by the police in the US. This is the long-term average, not just a recent spike - at least a third of black people shot by the police are unarmed. That’s pretty non-stop.

“Or are the two so deeply related these days that they’ve become the same thing?”

Yeah, given tRump’s 2000 run with the Reform Party - where tRump said he dropped out because he didn’t want to be associated with the former KKK member David Duke (making his more recent statement about not knowing who Duke was rather implausible) - it seems likely now that the not-serious status of the third parties…

“These yahoos aren’t ready for high-level coverage.”

Well, she didn’t use the money to also buy several portraits of herself.

Ooooh, finally I understand why my love life is so unsuccessful. Instead of trying to seduce women by offering to cook for them, I should be offering to cook them.

He’s so hilariously transparent about it, too. Things that are so obviously his deficits and even actions. He’s like a cartoon character in his lack of subtlety. It boggles me that people don’t see right through it.

tRump’s ghostwriter did say that when tRump insults people, he’s actually just projecting his own inadequacies onto other people...

“Why did over 100 pages of the recently unsealed divorce papers go missing? Who took them? Rapin’ Hillary didn’t want everyone to know what she did to Ivana!”

If “irresponsible intent” wasn’t the perfect distillation of the tRump campaign itself, I don’t know what is.

I mean, it’s not as limited as his speech would indicate - I’m sure he could have said “enormous vocabulary” if he hadn’t been afraid his core supporters wouldn’t understand him. Apparently he sometimes is heard using a word that someone with a third grade education might not know, so he quickly “corrects” himself for…

And he still uses plenty of profanities in his rallies (while talking about how terrible others are for swearing), but that’s just intended for the specific crowd he’s addressing. He does manage to crudely tailor his message.

I suspect knowing the specific terms of the Marvel licenses might answer some questions, but we can only speculate. If a publisher has done some licensed Marvel games in the past, I don’t imagine there’s anything stopping them from doing so in the future - except, perhaps, unfavorable previous experience. They might…

I think there are two things: not a very large vocabulary (that he’s also dumbing down for his supporters), and using words that are acceptable, “clean” speech that can be widely repeated in any context.

tRump is nothing if not master of the double standard. He’s constantly - constantly! - deriding someone for doing something that he frequently does himself. It’s downright pathological.
