Yeah, without lower prices, VR is kind of a non-starter for most people, especially given the (lack of) games for it. (Which then creates the problem of developers not wanting to invest in VR games if no one has headsets.)

At some point the Republican competitors for the nomination certainly should have realized how serious Trump’s candidacy was and gotten their heads out. I can only assume their oppo teams were incompetent. Either that, or they didn’t think that abusing women was something worth making a fuss about...

Lower barriers to entry would help enormously in consumer adoption - Sony VR, cheaper PC VR headsets (and cheaper min-spec machines), etc. But... some fundamental problems remain. Not having a consistent control scheme is highly problematic when designing games. Motion sickness is a real killer - and it’s not…

I believed in the potential of VR in the ‘90s and I still do. The problem is, they haven’t solved the most fundamental problems that VR had in the ‘90s, they’ve just recreated them in higher resolution. Luckey isn’t old enough to remember VR of the ‘90s (and one can hardly expect much from the funder of white…

In Trump’s case, as a presidential contender, there was scrutiny that he absolutely should have faced and didn’t - his accusers shouldn’t have been ignored, and the fact that they were shows that both the press and the Republican candidates opposition researchers weren’t doing their jobs. It’s amusing to see the…

“We are coasting on novelty”

And the thing is, although, for very obvious reasons, many women haven’t spoken out until now, there were some who did speak out well before this - only to be ignored by the media until now.

Yeah, it could easily happen given that there are way more than Cosby numbers for Trump (even if the vast, vast majority will never come forward). Cosby had to get women in a position where he could drug them - Trump was literally assaulting women as a greeting, from the very first moments he met someone.

I just read that supporters at one Trump rally were shouting “Lock her up!” - not in reference to Hillary, but one of Trump’s accusers. Jesus.

He’s a lifelong racist, misogynist, bully and con-man - there’s a mountain of stuff out there. I’m just surprised more of it hasn’t come out. I know they have him on tape using the n-word - that hasn’t come out yet. The accusation that he raped a child is looking more and more credible, but no one seems to have dug…

I’m also surprised he didn’t call the reporter an ugly loser. Actually, maybe he did...

I didn’t say that. The woman’s a liar, extremely unattractive, lots of problems because of her looks.

Me every time I look at the news now: “Where’s the rest of it?” Because this, all of this, is just the tip of the iceberg, clearly.

October Not-at-All-Surprising.

Oh boy, the accusation that he raped a 13-year-old is looking more and more credible, is it?

Well, Trump is constantly projecting. I wouldn’t have expected anything else from him. I’m just surprised he didn’t insist the reporter was the real rapist.

Watching & listening to him puts me somewhere between sick and enraged. I had to leave the room and play with the dog for a while during the debate until I felt less ill.

Well, the term that predated “racism” is “racial hatred.” That’s still sort of the real meaning of racism for many people. So it’s like, “Well, he said black people are sub-human, but did he say he hated them for it?”

That’s not the one I was thinking of (who was going after families of women and children, if I remember correctly), but one of the other serial killers at around the same time. Although maybe I’ve got the rough dates wrong, but it doesn’t seem like Wikipedia has a listing for it. I do recollect the article I was…

I forget if there was a nickname. I think the killings had some sort of label, at least for some of them, but they weren’t even sure they were all done by one person, because similar crimes were going on across multiple states, which could have been one person moving or multiple people. Even if it was more than one…
