And here I am just thankful that I don’t have to hold the camera with one hand

Path of exile charges for inventory QoL and with the ludicrous amount of different stuff that drops, it’s arguably kind of mandatory if you’re trying to complete seasonal objectives

Well. You probably shouldn’t sell out if you want control of the game’s roadmap.

Opium Wars 2, but China is smarter than England, because they’re letting Latin Americans take the blame.

Literally the wet dream of every gun owner.

Very real possibility

lol you’re dreaming if you think Apple is going to introduce a new computing platform and not wall its garden off so it can take a cut of all sales. That’s just how it is now, and every year they take a little freedom away from macOS. Mac users haven’t had true root for years.

Yeah, they have order minimums for some of their shipping options anyway. $25 for same day in my area, but once my membership lapses I bet I still end up getting shit in around the same time

There’s a market for this if the tech is good enough and the side effects and reversibility are reasonable. I don’t think it’s particularly likely that Musk is the person to make it happen, but Doc Ock my shit up when it’s ready.

Yeah I mean you had to buy the deluxe to be in the early access release

One of these days people will learn to not preorder games

Yeah, the genre of cyberpunk in general can be loosely summarized as “it’s the libertarian wet dream future and it sucks”

Literally the only property of Eidos that I care about, and it was bad enough that the studio wasted so much time on that garbage avengers game rather than finish the deus ex story they left hanging.

Bye Felicia

Yes it is a complete friggin coincidence! The meter is 1/10millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator (but just so slightly shorter than that due to measurement errors in 18th century France relating to difficulty in measuring how the earth is not-quite-a-sphere), but I’m still not sure why they landed on that ratio or that particular distance. I assume they were looking for a base unit of a size that would be really easy for everyone to estimate: if I asked you to demonstrate a meter, you could approximate it probably within 15% with your hands.

Exactly. This is like the pope making a dead baby joke, and all everyone in this thread can do is be a bummer about it.

Hear me out: this was tactless and in poor taste, but it is funny and I even think this might be a real Ted Cruz joke. You don’t often see self awareness in a politician at that level, and I almost respect it?

I felt really bad for Texans last winter when it got cold and their third world electrical grid shit out. This year, all I can think is “so why the fuck are you still living in Texas?”

It uses foveated rendering, so yeah it is effectively close to looking at a hidpi display across your entire field of vision, in a sphere around you. And you can use it effectively as a virtual monitor with a Mac, but you really have to design for the interface for a good experience

This thing is overpriced but there’s no way Apple ships it if they don’t have the pixel density to render text in a way that doesn’t make your eyes bleed. It’s being marketed as a work device, after all.

Pesky democrats and their whole “charging murderers with murder” shtick.
