firstly, just because you say so doesn't mean there is ZERO market for it.

secondly, of course there isn't significant demand for it yet it's a completely new technology and the use case is still being explored. people can't demand what doesn't exist.

Thirdly, show me exactly where companies are "coercing" us to create demand for AR. of course i realize there are extreme marketing campaigns that try unecessarily hard to push products like AI, but that is obviously not happening with AR.

Just stop mindlessly accepting and defending this behavior and stand up for yourself as a consumer.

finally, if you seriously can't comprehend any way at all that AR could be helpful then you are just as mindless as you are accusing me of being. stop being an arrogant asshole and consider that people can disagree with you without being "mindless".

I'm not even a huge proponent of AR glasses, but i think that's a pretty shortsighted view. AR/VR tech was still in its infancy when google decided to drop it (as they do with many beloved products btw), and Apple has a history of repackaging/refining products in a way that allows them to catch on. Apple Vision is by all accounts a cool product, just still way too expensive for mainstream use. The tech is still maturing. I'm not saying Apple will for sure succeed, but it's just silly to outright claim "there is no market for this".

also "forced onto consumers"? no one is being forced to buy anything, what a ridiculous take.

it’s not that complicated, the goal is to create another hit product that everyone wants like the ipod and iphone.

chipotle drive through

half assed remake

which is exactly why they called it a remaster. it was never their intention to remake the game.

Personally I think most of the stuff that went wrong with Starfield were design choices related to space travel and many many planets, which won't be an issue with TES of Fallout going forward. So if they stay in their lane I don't see any reason why they can't keep churning out decent titles in those series, even if they maybe don't reach the same heights.

i used to think this as well (i have never used any facebook apps), but last night something happened that made me question it.

My wife and i were going through a chipotlane that was right next to a Popeye’s. As we were waiting i looked over to popeyes and saw some posters for their new pickle chicken stuff and asked my wife “the fuck is a pickle ‘glaze’?”

she said “i have no idea but i kinda want some fried pickles now.”

literally a few seconds later she opens instagram on her phone and is shown a video of a person making pickle brined chicken.

yes yes it could be a coincidence, but i am a lot less certain of that now.

Extract was pretty similar for obvious reasons.

Avowed ran well for me.

Avowed is UE5 and that ran well for me.

i wouldn’t say discord “spoiled” us by trying to reinvent forums, i’d say it unnecessarily blurred the lines. classic case of feature creep.

The flaw in the analogy is that it assumes that those effects are limited to some companies

no it doesn't.

it's an analogy; the author is drawing parallels between them. Obviously Tobacco companies were not "defeated" but they were regulated to hell, and I'm sure the author would say that's what we need to do with social media too.

yes. you can just play the guitar. Guitar Hero Ultimate Difficulty.

i generally agree with the point you are making because Oblivion is my favorite TES game, but I just got done playing Avowed which is pretty good. defintiely not as deep as oblivion in many areas though.

i don’t think they changed the magic system but they did adjust enemy level scaling, which could have been part of your problem.

why would we want to keep fossil fuels alive?

hold your horses armor buddy, they still have a few other elder scrolls games to remake first.
