Sure - the primary strikes against the Quest 3 are the absolutely egregious privacy concerns, and the closed ecosystem. If neither of those are dealbreakers for you, go get one.

What you seem to be saying is that you want to pay an entry-level price for an enthusiast tier device, and like… yeah, we all would, but we don’t realistically expect anyone to sell it to us for that price.

It’s more the absolutely egregious privacy concerns than anything else. They’re selling them at a loss because they make up the difference by selling your data, and the data they collect is unreal.

I’m not gatekeeping who can participate, I was asking why they would want to participate, particularly with a comment that just amounts to ‘I wouldn’t buy this device at any price it would reasonably have been priced at’. Like, okay, but then why are you here?

It was originally forecast (by Valve) at “less than $1000”, which to me meant $900-$1000. I’m not pleased with the current price, either, but it was never going to be $500, not in the best possible case scenario.

If you wouldn’t pay $500, then VR just isn’t for you. And that’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with that, but that’s basically the baseline bottom of the barrel price for this type of device (and the ones priced like that come with a LOT of caveats), so if you wouldn’t pay that price, why are you even part of the discussion? You were never the target audience in the first place.

Obviously it’s Ding Dong Dash.

It’s timestamped, skip to what you care about?

Edit: Here, I’ll save you even that amount of effort. Battery Life Benchmarks (4 minutes, 30 seconds)

Gamers Nexus has a pretty comprehensive review that covers both streaming and standalone play. Battery life is not particularly favorable but overall the sentiment is positive.

Sure would be a shame if concert-goers elected to boycott the venues that rejected a performer on those grounds.

Maybe there’s a desk just out of frame, and when she’s sitting at the desk, it’s facing her.

From a pure practicality-for-the-comic standpoint, having it oriented the way it does lets us clearly see the cord from the handset leading to the phone - not that that’s super important, but it maybe helps with clarity?

Obviously. Your statement was that StarCraft had never had any original ideas in the IP; I was just pointing out that the idea of a StarCraft IP shooter pre-dates Destiny (and FarCry). I’m not sure why we’re still discussing this.

Doesn’t matter, you said original ideas, not completed games.

To be completely fair, Starcraft: Ghost was originally teased in 2002. Obviously a different game, but they did sow the seeds for a starcraft IP shooter long before Destiny.

It’s not a shitpost, but it sure is a shit post.

I love Fancy Cok

Probably 6000 messages from Nicole, the fediverse chick.

She is about to get hit by that ship and probably die!

Yeah, this feels like it should be illegal.

Boy, do I love bat characters drawn with real-world style wings. Love it!
