    I had vr in the semi early days and I know that feeling. There was really something special about just the scale and perspective that brings child like wonder.

    I would love for a second wave of vr games to become popular but if that would of happened it would of happened through meta because they have the actual sales numbers to support it somewhat.

    I don’t think enough people are going to buy the steam frame and inspire a second big wave of vr devs. Its going to help the older games get a short burst of sales and those devs will just have to make a patch to be playable on the frame.

    I think at most the frame will do decent, but more importantly all the work that went Into fex/lepton will get fleshed out more and more to the point you are playing full PC games on your phone.

    In my opinion the steam frame is a wash and I want it only as a steam fan boy. I’d still get it if it was going to be cheap but with how thongs are going I just don’t see it being a success. I can’t justify spending 1200+ USD on something to play a unsupported/abandonded 20 dollar game from 8+ years ago. And there’s only maybe 3 games I see as worth while, and aren’t just a tech demo like the walking the plank simulator.

    The only thing I can see being a turning point is if there was a way to convert games into vr kind of like that unreal engine mod. And that would have to be universal and easy to use like proton is.










  • I have a pirated legacy, and SE version I zipped up with all the mods that work for that version. I’m so tired of Bethesda updating a nearly 20 year old game, so they can resell it again.

    Sense I’ve played the game with mods there have been two big instances where Bethesda decided to be greedy and break hundreds of thousands of mods. There used to be so many good mods that just don’t exist anymore and where crazy intense and they’re all lost to time.

    The games nearly 20 years old it doesnt need to be updated every year to resell the game. Bethesda hates the mod community anyways they keep trying to figure out a way to weasle their way into free mods and put a paywall between you and their content.

    Most people that use mods these days for skyrim don’t even use a script extender. Their idea of mods is the mod menu built into the game which is really only reskins, and stat changes/cheats. We used to have ship houses you could build, and drive. There was so much insane big mods like that, and they just don’t exist anymore.

    Eventually Bethesda won’t let you mod their game, and its going to be a built in “mod manager” which is devoid of any useful features. If you haven’t had to use fnis, skse, etc then you are not modding the game.


  • Elons response when his csam generator generated deep fakes and csam of kids was " we are looking for the people who did this ". No mother fucker it was you who did this.

    As if he had 0 responsibility for the release of the csam generator, and took absolutely no precautions on trying to prevent it from happening. No other major LLM company has this issue, and the amount of negligence is on par with leaving a loaded gun at the playground in a park.

    What’s even worse is instead of immediately shutting down the csam generator elon instead made it so only paying members can generate csam. When people complained again that people where still actively generating csam he simply removed that function to be available in the united States or the uk. So now when someone generates csam of your kids you won’t even be aware of it.

    Now elon musk is fighting at every instance to fight for his right to be able to generate csam. Including suing states.

    Trump says this is legal, and he has pressured states to not make any laws against ai in any shape or form, essentially making it illegal to stop elon musk from making csam.

    This is what Ai boosters call a modern marvel and amazing life changing technology.


  • I was pointing out how its less practical than the normal tazers which they still don’t use. The idea of it sounds dangerous to the user too.

    The taser gun is the ultimate form. But I agree with your sentiment about less shooting the better.

    I guess the point I want to drive home is this taser gloves thing likely costs 300 thousand dollars for a single glove and is funded by tax payer dollars, and its going to be just a toy they bring out to torture people for fun, and otherwise foregotten. They’re still going to pull their guns out first and foremost, and when its slow they’ll abuse their drones and gloves for fun.

    Ideally we wouldn’t give them anymore money, my critisim was more a joke but I was trying to point out how the system is so backwards I can imagine a scenario where this was proposed instead of making the ice agents sit through one more paid class with at least the bare minimum a guide on how not to shoot people immediately.



  • Just the idea of shock gloves sounds like some kind of nepobaby invention where they got a gurillian dollar defense contract to develop a new nonlethal weapon, instead of actually training ICE members to not kill people.

    And the person who invented it didnt even know what to make so they did a pintrest style mood board with chatgpt and uploaded all their punisher fan art, tactical gear edc posts and it spat out this idea.

    Like what was even wrong with the taser gun? Why do you need it in your gloves? Just sounds like the dumbest most punisher fanfic turbo virgin idea. Like the guys who go to jail for impersonating a police officer and stolen valor at the same time invented it.
