It just blows my mind, how people downplay VR (as well as the impact of the Wii). VR has the possibility of sending people in infinity universes of infinity possibilities and experience it with our major senses. Seeing those worlds, interact with other people or simply interactiving with objects is extremely exciting. And this is just the beginning. How anybody can see this as niche is just very strange to me ... true VR is one of humanity endgames and we see the first steps into this direction.

This is exactly how I feel, minus the wii lies

Multiplayer VR games are unlike anything you've ever experienced. Even something as simple as playing pool can make you forget that you're not in a real world.

VR is a zero sum game. Holodecks or nothing. Nobody with friends or a bright future is going to strap a heavy-ass pair of goggles to their head to play Stickball 4k. Calling a monitor strapped to your eyeballs VR is like calling those fucking handlebar-less scooters "hoverboards."

Cool. Doesn't mean it'll be a commercial success until it reaches the casual market level of appeal. Goggles have never worked. Same reason the 3D fad continues to come and go.

It's apparently inconceivable that the people would want someone who stomps on necks.

Very optimistic view, actually.

Duterte is basically Trump turned up to 11, in an environment where a lot of people are desperate for something a lot better than the status quo. Let's not act like Trump wouldn't be killing it right now if the economy was in the toilet and the crime rate was back at mid-90s levels.

I think VR has a lot of exciting applications outside of games but very limited appeal within games because of how isolating it is.

AR is probably the way to go for consumer and entertainment products.  Pokemon Go gave a glimpse of AR's potential.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion
Quote
The Taiping Rebellion or Taiping Civil War (simplified Chinese: 太平天国运动; traditional Chinese: 太平天國運動; pinyin: Taìpíng Tīanguó Yùndòng, literally "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement") was a massive rebellion or civil war in China that lasted from 1850 to 1864, which was fought between the established Manchu-led Qing dynasty and the Christian millenarian movement of the Heavenly Kingdom of Peace. The Taiping Rebellion began in the southwestern province of Guangxi when local officials launched a campaign of persecution against a Christian sect known as the God Worshipping Society led by Hong Xiuquan, who believed himself to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ. The war was mostly fought in the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei, but over 14 years of war, the Taiping Army had marched through every regularized province of China proper except Gansu. The war was the largest in China since the Qing conquest in 1644, and ranks as one of the bloodiest wars in human history, the bloodiest civil war, and the largest conflict of the nineteenth century with estimates of war dead ranging from 20 to 70 million, as well as millions more displaced.[4]

I like how this has the second biggest death toll of any war in human history and most non-Asian Americans haven't even heard of it.

Quote
"What the heck has Hillary even done, anyway?”

The real question is, what hasn’t she done? She was a leader in the Senate and the Obama administration, for starters. As a senator from New York, she helped secure $20 billion in federal aid to rebuild after 9/11 and to care for responders. She helped create the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which covers more than 8 million kids and cut the children’s uninsured rate in half. She negotiated a 2012 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas as secretary of state. As Marco Rubio put it, “if this election is a resume competition, then Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president.”
Quote
“I just don’t think America is ready for a woman president.”

Really? So you don’t think America is ready for a president with four decades of experience fighting for families and children? That’s a shame.
Quote
“OK, so Donald Trump is too much. But the other guys have some good ideas.”

To steal a line from Hillary, the rest of the Republican field is just Trump without the pizzazz or the hair. They’ve proposed massive tax cuts for the top 1 percent and they’re bending over backward to say extreme things that appeal to the rightest end of the right wing. Frankly, there’s not much daylight between the Republican candidates at all.
[close]

It's funny how they say Hillary can't do anything about something because of the system/Republicans/society/etc. and then also argue she's literally the only thing standing between minorities and the abyss/camps.

Trump is hardly a trustworthy social conservative, he loves the gays, just not in that way.

The fact they believe that culture and society has stopped its progress on these issues, nay regressed horribly to an even worse position than sixteen years ago, and that the only thing saving us will be Hillary hopefully getting to stack the Supreme Court because it can only be overturned by itself is more of an indictment of the system and society and irrelevancy of elections than they probably want to make.

But then, they aren't civil libertarians anyway. Not even of the low-rent Anthony Kennedy variety. This is more about browbeating others to stay in line.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Remember one of their core arguments is that social conservatives were right and that Hillary/Obama/etc. were all lying when they said they were for "traditional marriage" and they were only saying that for political reasons while secretly supporting the homosexualist agenda. We should trust her now like Obama in 2008 when he promised no health insurance mandates, to close Gitmo, the most transparency ever, not going after whistleblowers, to end the wars, for the oceans to stop rising, for the planet to begin to heal.

Seeing those worlds, interact with other people or simply interactiving with objects is extremely exciting. And this is just the beginning. How anybody can see this as niche is just very strange to me ... true VR is one of humanity endgames and we see the first steps into this direction.

Because the technology for VR isn't close to being consumer ready and yet people are trying to make it consumer viable RIGHT NOW. Which will fail (less than 1% of Steam users have VR head sets) and thus poison the well making it hard for the tech to progress much for the next 10-20 years.

If people weren't trying to make it a consumer viable product THIS YEAR it wouldn't be so bad.

VR is a zero sum game. Holodecks or nothing. Nobody with friends or a bright future is going to strap a heavy-ass pair of goggles to their head to play Stickball 4k. Calling a monitor strapped to your eyeballs VR is like calling those fucking handlebar-less scooters "hoverboards."

I think VR has a lot of exciting applications outside of games but very limited appeal within games because of how isolating it is.

AR is probably the way to go for consumer and entertainment products.  Pokemon Go gave a glimpse of AR's potential.

Too bad Pokemon Go was only a success because of branding and not the actual app. AR is another kind of tech that people have  been trying to make a thing for 20 years and no one has figured out yet. It's probably closer than VR, but its really best in non gaming applications.

Unsurprising, the woman seems immature and unbearable to be with.

Most non z-lister celebs have relationships that last longer than a couple of months. It feels like she has had a dozen famous BF's already that have never gone beyond six months, something definitely odd about it.

A twenty something with an hyperactive social life going from one casual relationship to another ? You don't say !

Also casually imply she's a manipulative whore entering relations for gathering song material if not worse.

It would not be unheard of in the world of fame that some relationships are manufactured for public facade, but that wouldn't be a thing if people were less obsessed about living vicariously through morsels of the private life of celebrities.

GAF sure loves talking about gay scenarios that straight dudes would find gross.

What's next?

"Straight GAF, would you give Christian Bale a BJ?"

It's almost like Gay version of nice guys.

So.....would you?

I mind curation based on personal taste. I mean, what kind of attitude does GOG have seriously ? If I were a dev, I'd be pissed off if a store told me "listen, your games... we don't like it. And we think our customers won't like it, so we don't sell it." If that kind of thinking was prevailing, indie scene would be dead. I can only imagine how a game like Stardew Valley would've never happened because it's too "casual".

If you've set your customise filters, and "not Interested" your recommendation queues and 90% of your suggestions are "garbage", then it's accurately reflecting your tastes being garbage.

Or maybe there's some of us that don't use Steam's curation bullshit and just find the stuff we know that is on Steam and wishlist it because we purposely avoid Indies?  :doge :doge

I wish I could remove most every Indie title out there, but AFAIK there's no filter on the curation system that lets me do that. At least I was able to remove the VR stuff from the store so it wasn't clogging my Steam front-page with stuff I'd never even look at. :doge

This thread opens with a rather sensible and interesting premise...

...but quickly take a nose dive.

BernardoOne is on a crusade  to deny there might be any kernel of economic rationality in GoG's curation.


Look, I like GOG (a helluva lot more than Steam actually) but WTF at them denying Mushihime-sama?

It just blows my mind, how people downplay VR (as well as the impact of the Wii). VR has the possibility of sending people in infinity universes of infinity possibilities and experience it with our major senses. Seeing those worlds, interact with other people or simply interactiving with objects is extremely exciting. And this is just the beginning. How anybody can see this as niche is just very strange to me ... true VR is one of humanity endgames and we see the first steps into this direction.

Because the technology for VR isn't close to being consumer ready and yet people are trying to make it consumer viable RIGHT NOW. Which will fail (less than 1% of Steam users have VR head sets) and thus poison the well making it hard for the tech to progress much for the next 10-20 years.

If people weren't trying to make it a consumer viable product THIS YEAR it wouldn't be so bad.

I owned a pair of Virtual i/o iglasses glasses when they came out. Head mounted stereoscopic 3d glasses with gyroscopic tracking. It feels like the same situation. The demos were neat, the promise was enticing, the end result was underwhelming. People have gotten railed on for having the opnion that it's the same situation, but... it feels like the same situation. Back then it was... man, just you WAIT! And now it's man, wait til those indie devs make the games that really take advantage of this thing! Just you WAIT!

No, there aren't financial reasons. There's nothing to it but their terrible taste.

Beware suggesting the Steam store might have some shortcomings.

I've used Steam for years. My wish list had like 120 games on it, and the rec system still pumped out trash. Maybe it's hard for you to admit it, but the personalization system is just hot garbage.

Some people apparently thinking that a shop "curating" what it sells is some sort of infringement on customer rights ?

Quote
I like how Valve doesn't insult my intelligence as a consumer. Let the developers put what they want on the store and I can come to the decision as a consumer whether to purchase that product. I haven't felt burned yet.

"Who cares about cyanide in the baby's food section ? Don't insult the intelligence of customers !"

It's my right as a consumer to decide what is good for me or not. Lack of curation is good. GOG is just too arrogant.

'curating' videogames is a garbage idea. The only thing that should be bounced off the store are broken games and babbies first rpgmaker game.
