Agreed that encouraging immigration is the right solution. Too many countries want to become Solaria.

I think my preference would be to calibrate it with the screen center rather than always at the camera. That is, if the person is looking at their screen where the participates are rendered, render it as them looking at the camera. If they are looking somewhere else, show that as looking away from the camera.

Jesus Christ could people please stop handing out money for Call of Duty.

I'm both looking forward to it, and am glad it's ending!

Yeah this is basically where I am. If a game is meant to be a high-quality visual experience, I'm almost surely going to want to play it on my high-end PC with my 4K OLED TV. I suppose there are exceptions where it's a game I'd like to replay having already had the full experience, and then it being able to run on Deck would be nice for travel. But those games are few. Mostly my Steam Deck is for Vampire Survivors rogue lites which are not very demanding.

Incidentally, "slave robot" is in some sense redundant, because the word comes from "robota" which referred to unpaid forced labor.

That's right, it's a free patch. From the article:

I was not really a fan of Halo 4 and wasn't interested in 5, but I really like Infinite and it feels deserving of the Halo name, which is not a statement I make lightly because Halo holds a special place in my heart and memories. So it's only fitting that MS screws them up and then fires a sizeable chunk of them when they finally are onto something good (despite leadership apparently).

For myself, I was a computer nerd since I was old enough to use a computer. Certainly I loved games, but I also had a general fascination with them. The fact that computers were nerdy things that the majority of adults (and most other kids) sucked at using even for basic tasks back then probably fueled that interest because it gave me something to stand out on even as a child. Those facts made it "obvious" that I should do something with computing, but my ultimate path in the field would not have been obvious at the time. Being that I was already good with computers, hated school with a passion, and was an abysmal high school student (I graduated with an utterly mediocre 2.7 GPA) made me strongly consider not going to college. But I did anyway and managed to go somewhere decent probably on virtue of having at least passed the CS AP courses. Not long into college I started looking into more advanced CS topics. For a topic that was always easy for me, it was wild to flip through AI books and not have a clue what was going on. I didn't even have the requisite math to understand them. Since I've always been a nerd, AI also had a special appeal to someone like it and that for once in my academic life actually motivated me to learn more, so I started working in an AI research lab as an undergrad and the rest falls from there. In many ways, I am deeply lucky. The thing I had a passion for just happened to also be a solid career path and I happened to fall into the right path for it despite being a terrible student. Unfortunately, that's not true for many, if not most, people. If you're feeling stuck though, I would still try to identify if there is something exciting you can work toward making a career. If that's not possible, then I would look for something you would feel good about doing, e.g., something that helps society in some way. You can of course just look for jobs only as a paycheck and nothing else, but I think that will be unfulfilling. Instead of a generic corporate ladder, maybe consider joining a non-profit and doing something you can be proud of. The world could certainly use it. Of course, that's just my view and maybe that won't work for everyone!

Hope you still enjoy it then!

Not sure I'll do this one. P5 is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time, but even 4 has been difficult for me to get into due to the extremely bland and grindy dungeons (although the rest of it seems solid). Whereas P5 had vastly more interesting dungeons to explore, witch palace having its own unique spin on things. P3 looks like due to its age will suffer the same issues. I think this means I'm pretty firmly waiting for P6.

I have no doubt mental health and drug issues plague the homeless. Giving them housing isn't going to suddenly cure everything about the homeless. But getting them off the street seems like a big win for *everyone* I'm not sure why the homeless you're talking about are "back on the street in 90 days." That suggests to me they're not really being given a place to stay but adding a whole lot of hoops that make it impractical. Given the general attitude of the country regarding the homeless, it's easy for me to believe this is being poorly implemented at best. But no, I don't have first hand experience to have a particularly nuanced opinion on the solution. But I do think far too much of the public resists just paying to help them because they don't like the idea of giving away basic needs, even if it ends up costing us more to not do it.

Let's just give them housing.

Hmm That's strange. It should have given you the achievement anyway. I'm pretty sure I was worried about the same the first time I did it, and they still gave it to me.

I’ve got some bad news for you regarding the actual binary encoding of your numbers

When do we make the D1PTTRPG?

I’m not see enough love for evolved four seasons.

Yeah that seems fine? I certainly wouldn't classify being unwilling to pay a certain price being equivalent to being a hater of an entire technology

? As far as I can tell, there was only one person who had something negative to say about VR and they were limiting their criticism to a specific context. Everyone else here seems pretty clearly on the positive side of VR.

This is the sad reality of our internet infrastructure and business. From 2013-2020 I live in an apartment where there was only Cox as an option. We were told when we moved in that fiber was coming, but it only seemed to be made available everywhere *except* our apartment complex. The result is I paid the same as you for absolutely awful internet. In 2020, (right before Covid!) we bought a house and one of the first questions I always asked when looking was "is FIOS available?" We now pay $10 more for bilstering gigabit up and down internet. And fortunately game downloads are not really an issue anymore. We seriously need new regulation to break up these regional monopolies. It fucks everyone.

I will probably be getting the PSV2 as my first because it ticks all the boxes I’ve been waiting for while not being priced as high as comparable models and it’s not owned by Facebook. Consoles do also have the advantage of fixed hardware which seems like a win when consistent performance is as important as it is for VR. Im also interested in what Apple is going to do for AR. If Valve releases a new feature match for a good price I could be tempted into that too though! They knocked it out of the park with the Deck.

I do indeed look forward to trying more out!
