That's the important bit that everybody is missing:

Apple has suspended work on the second-generation Vision Pro headset to singularly focus on a cheaper model

Clicking through to the paywalled article, the headlines reads as follows:

Apple Suspends Work on Next Vision Pro, Focused on Releasing Cheaper Model in Late 2025.

I am as unoptimistic on the future of VR as everybody else here, but can we please leave the nuance in? Apple are not turning the key on VR, at least not yet, they are simply doing the predicable thing that everybody said their would: Release a VR headset that isn't targeted at developers only.

Guilty as charged

Congress is the opposite of Progress.

That's why it starts with Con.

Sure, will you call the it admin where I work and tell him I'm switching?

I want to switch to Linux just as much as you, but at work I have literally zero influence over this. Private OS choice and enterprise / corporate are very different things, and businesses refusing to switch away from Windows is a very big reason why Microsoft's behaviour lately is a big deal.

What's left ain't right.

I knew this!

On the off chance that one of you needs to model an Icosahedron / D20 in CAD, constructing three golden rectangles is often the easiest way to go, as it removes the need for calculating face angles.

Thanks for the reply.

Only makes it weirder really.

European here.

...Why are there Americans soldiers in the Israeli military?

Crypto is not going to fix the financial system, nor will it make you a millionaire.

Slight correction: A zealot barbarian, who would have otherwise been dead, has such a low amount of HP that they're vunerable to the sleep spell.

Zealot barbs have the same mountain of HP as every other barb, so they need winding down before Sleep will touch them.

No plot needed.

To me the essence of 2016 is the scene in the beginning where an info screen tries to dump exposition on you and you chuck it into a wall.

There is plot, but you don't need to pay attention to it. Doomguy is angry and needs to kill demons.

To me a big fumble in Eternal was trying to explain why doomguy is angry and so good at killing. He's like an inverse Cthulhu, terrifying, unknowable and mysterious. Trying to explain or understand him breaks the basis for the character.

On gameplay, I didn't mind the changes, but I thought the embellishments were a little on the nose. The technicolor rainbow explosion of ammo when you chainsaw someone, and the increased focus on using abilities to replenish resources scream "This is a video game!" in a over the top way that I felt took away from the immersion and grit that I associate with Doom.

Nah.

2016 was brilliant for its minimalism. No plot needed, no introduction, just tight combat and metal.

You don't improve on that with more mechanics, more plot and more MTX.

Six?

No.

Netanyahu gotta go. Don't condemn the population of a country because of the actions of its leader.

I remember when EK was just Edvard König selling stuff on XtremeSystems.org

Granted, my interest in overclocking and cooling peaked in the mid noughties, but I had no idea EK had gotten this big.

Wait, you don't have anthropomorphic animals in traffic in tye US?

By the looks of this thread, we're a lot of nobodys.

OP asked for uses other than gsming.

You know what the real threat to human dignity is? Not respecting other peoples choices.
