Your fears will manifest in reality. Just stop being afraid.


Your statement can have multiple interpretations. I assume you mean this one: Your fear will be a self-fulfilling prophecy; to prevent that, stop being afraid?

Of course that's like telling someone who is depressed, to "just be happy".

It doesn't work, because you can't constrain the user's hand to match what's happening in the game, meaning it completely removes any immersion benefit you get from VR in the first place.

Melee in VR feels awful. It feels like swatting flies.

Shooting in VR is amazing. There are multiple games that let you play Star Wars battlefront knockoffs so you can cosplay the droid army.


Even if they somehow nail the hand input, without controllers for haptics, I'm a bit disappointed.

Nintendo games are like well crafted watches, they may not show the time perfectly but they are damn well optimized under the hood.

I think the commenter means that mechanical watches don't keep time as well as digital watches. So, I guess they are optimized for mechanical beauty instead of timekeeping.


That you never see? So a piece of software might be amazingly-engineered but doesn't do the main function well - is that the analogy?


Perfect analogy.


Hot take: AI knowledge is what Bitcoin is to money. It is not backed by anything and therefore cannot be trusted. Regular knowledge is backed by a degree which has actual value in the end.

thx :)


Training data seems to be the new valueable asset post AI.

Unlock doesn't work?

No, a coder is responsible. A tool is not.
