The minimum performance requirements for mainstream VR has a pretty high bar and technology just wasn’t there yet. It is now getting very close. The Valve Index is very close, but we still need one more resolution bump for it to not feel like you are making a tradeoff of immersion for clarity. Prototype displays exist

Motion gaming was always going to be a small niche because all it adds is physicality at the cost of very limited control options, relegating it to dancing games and not much else. 3D movies, on average (some better some worse), only add slightly to immersion at the cost of comfort.

When in doubt, call someone racist/sexist for no reason. It sure beats having to come up with an intelligent retort.

There are not 40 million Americans struggling to get enough food. Step outside of your 1st world privilege bubble. We live in a country with food stamps. People are not starving here, they just complain when the have restrictions on what free food they get. In other countries, people face actual starvation.  

The cop was 100% justified. Did anyone actually watch the video? The cop told the guy to shut off his vehicle, and instead the guy puts it into drive and starts to move. When the cop pulls his gun and orders him stop, the guy tries to grab the cops gun while speeding up. What the hell did he think was going to happen?

‘States rights’ legalized gay marriage long before the federal government.

The CNN article authors don’t understand math, statistics or logic. The statistics compared a visit to the Dominican Republic (which averages a week) to living an entire year in the US.

Yes, party 2 was wrong. If the dude was being trash, you call HIM trash, as that would simply be her defending herself. Calling MEN trash, however, escalates it to sexism, which is why she got fired.  

Women are not oppressed (in most 1st world countries at least). And most of the people who talk about historical oppression of women weren’t alive at the time.  But keep playing the victim and using it as an excuse to justify sexism.  

No, the problem is people seem clueless about history and compare current events to Nazi’s and the holocaust in an extremely hyperbolic way. The holocaust involved literal genocide of millions. So unless some future event involves mass genocide, it should not be compared.

“ The only people who don’t feel the overtly evil connotations of the phrase ‘concentration camp’ are merited here are the neo-nazis running them” 

Locking up your own citizens in a camp and then murdering them is not remotely comparable to incarcerating people who enter a country illegally.

House prices are solely based upon what people are willing to pay to buy it, and further, higher values means they have to pay more to buy said house, and pay more in property taxes to live in said house.

How is ‘caging humans’ uncivil and racist?  Are you suggesting that we abolish prisons because they are uncivil?  Don’t break a countries’s laws and then they won’t cage you.  Pretty simple concept.

Without NPCs the most you could call it is a FPS with ‘rpg elements’.

Counterpoint. Nobody ‘deserves’ to be credited for doing their job and I find the whole practice odd. Why does my smartphone not come with a list of credits? Did the engineers who designed it not work hard as well?  It is all rather arbitrary.  

The Beyonce thing only makes clear that Beyonce fans are spiteful little minions who are trying to spin normal social behavior into a slight due to their obsession with an overhyped celebrity.

I can’t think of a louder race bait then accusing someone on the internet of being racist.... because they commented on someone’s grammar.

Except you specifically said “banned from Twitch entirely.” which is where the ‘power’ comes from and where it would be abused.

Should she not find a new job? Does her expressing thoughts some find offensive mean she should be forever unemployed? If you ran the world what would you want to happen? Public stoning?
