  • Remember when he was losing the primaries so bad it was almost sad, then the leading democrats inexplicably started stepping down and endorsing him rather than anyone else as soon as they started losing against Bernie? One by one, they gave us Biden instead of who people were actually voting for.

    I really wish we had ranked voting. We still might not have ended up with Bernie, but we definitely would have ended up with someone more people would have been happy to rally behind.

  • Tbf, Microsoft is an American company that is probably looking for ways to address their own rising expenses. Japan is struggling economically as well, so I imagine Ninty & Sony are looking at international markets to offset their own struggles as well.

  • These words bring me back to the days of the OG iPad and the discourse surrounding that. Nobody knew what it was good for, and just saw it as an oversized iPhone. It kinda was, but it was unexpectedly fun to use and eventually became quite useful.

  • No it doesn’t understand the question. It collects a series of letters and words that are strung together in a particular order because that’s what you typed, then it sifts through a mass of collected data and to find the most common or likely string of letters and words that follow and spits them out.

  • Sony has a nice headset, but it’s more of a whatever than a serious evolution of the industry.

    This sentiment exists because Meta sunk gargantuan losses into engineering progress that the burgeoning VR market couldn’t possibly have managed naturally. If you took meta and the quest 3 out of the VR picture entirely, I believe the psvr2 would still be a good bar for where high quality, affordable, modern VR would be. There would be no outstanding AAA VR meta exclusives, but who’s to say a few of those might not have been made anyway? On better hardware and non-exclusive, no less.

    Furthermore, if all those people who opted for Quest 3 when choosing what to buy ended up on other platforms, the incentive for developers to develop VR features for their games wouldn’t be restricted to mobile only and on a terrible store front. I think we would have seen a lot more studios take the Resident Evil route and add VR modes to their games because the VR audience would be on platforms that would require less compromise, and it would be larger than it is now. I believe we would have had fewer, but much better games in VR by now.

  • Last I heard they’re actually doubling down. They were supposedly shifting away from games in a push towards more comprehensive Horizon Worlds integration. Like it will no longer be an app you launch but rather the environment you enter when donning the headset. I heard that a few weeks ago, though. It might be outdated already.

  • Yeah I stopped impulse buying games from sales since then. I have plenty to play already, and I’d rather not risk buying something stupidly now that I won’t have the means to refund by the time I get around to playing it, should it not work right for any reason.

  • The original argument compares windows to iOS, but gets weaker when comparing windows to macOS, which is still pretty corralled, but more or less open.

    I asked about Xbox because Microsoft doesn’t sell a phone, and Xbox is an example of a Microsoft-run closed ecosystem. So I was curious about how their closed ecosystems compared.

    If Microsoft sold a phone, I wonder if it would actually be more open like windows and Mac, or closed like their own XBox and the iPhone.
