  • The Quest 1 doesn't need external stations, and it's so old Meta considers it obsolete and no longer sells software for it. Now granted, that's not very old, but what I'm saying is the technology is well and truly there. When I use my quest 1 for long enough that the battery runs out, the only ill effects I get are the same I'd get from standing for that same duration of time. No neck pain at all. And I don't think motion sickness has a technological solution, I think it has a personal solution. I played video games on the TV until I got sick a dozen times when I was small. Now I don't get motion sick from anything. Video games engage your brain differently, they just do, and your brain has to adapt just like with any hobby. If you play a sport, the exercise will hurt at first. Your body will adapt. If you don't want to rewire your brain to be able to deal with the sensations of multiple realities at once, then video games just are not for you. Because that's what video games are.

    I agree, the price was a bit high when I got my Quest 1, but that was years ago and I have never felt the need to upgrade. It's a perfectly fine device that can do everything I want. I suspect that in 2024, you can buy an old headset on the cheap. I actually had a friend who was giving away a quest for free last year and was looking for someone to take it.

  • I tried to read A Game Of Thrones and it was so boring. It didn't stay with one character long enough for me to get invested in their story. Too many characters, and not enough writing skill to pull that number off.

    I think George should have written a few simpler novels to practice good writing before he went and did a big project like this.

  • I don't have a dog in this fight, but I don't like it when people accuse someone of an altered state of consciousness just for disagreeing with them. Statistically it gets used more often on neurodivergent people, because neurodivergence is an altered state if consciousness. Neurotypicals will see that autistic people think differently, and then accuse them of drug use not realising it's actually autism. While this is done with innocent intentions, the statistical sum total result is that autistic people get accused of being high more often than neurotypicals. It terminates the discussion, and if autistic people get treated like that at all times, then they're treated as not of sound mind at all times. I don't have a problem with drugs at all, but the thing is a stoner has the option of sobering up and being treated like an adult again. While an ND person just gets infantilised at all times for existing, because their genuine experiences are dismissed by NTs as drug addled nonsense. So I think we as a society should just stop accusing strangers on the internet who disagree with us of being high. It's not clever and it's not funny, anyway.
