What I've been spotting with almost all of the articles I've found today is the word Hubris.
Tech
An investor points out that a university degree will cost $1 million, while a TV that covers your wall will be $100. The university, medical, and housing are heavily regulated and controlled by the government and new tech is basically forbidden. I've worked in two of those and saw the insanity and agree. Our big costs problem won't be solved by universal medical care, but by allowing the innovations to destroy the original markets over and over again. It won't be pretty, but we will be a lot healthier and smarter because of it.
The latest Stinger report shows how VR is falling by the wayside. Companies are moving toward AR, but have no idea how it became profitable, including Niantic. ESports are not making their return on investment and several companies are falling.
VR
If you're not for VR, you're against it.
Politics
All the financial downturn is a good thing.
Videogames
Based on sales numbers, the PS5 will not outsell the Wii.
How Maxis destroyed the Sim City brand.
Modders for Minecraft are making their own version and it looks nice.
Film and TV
If rumors are to be true, Spiderman is to be replaced by Spider Woman.
Religion
The supreme court said atheists can sue a prayer vigil.
Social Media
Pro trump 'bots' are attacking DeSantis. These are bots and not real people having a big debate.
Theme Parks
With Super Mario World, the industry has shown that new designs will be about immersing people in a single IP, with side games and other methods along with rides for guests to enjoy. This is opposed to the looser themes and setting that would blend into the next place fairly easily. Not really hubris, but a major design change.
Fuck lawyers and judges. Everyone has standing, they can have an opinion on something, thus, it effects them. Does this case mean someone was harmed? No. They still have standing to sue.
You have a point.
There's so much problems with VR. It just isn't viable for massive adoption and I currently see no way it'll get there.
There are viable out of home markets, but they go against the ideas of snow crash, so companies reject them. It's really annoying.
Yes.
Nope. Much like with Crazy Ezra's Flasher, this is burning out current IP, hoping to make some money while they think up some more ways to milk a dead horse.
Nothing on Twitter is real.
I find it a bit sad on spiderman. I've enjoyed the comics and movies.
Twitter is a raging bot trying to prove everyone else unreal.
Hytale looked interesting too bad no Linux version, as that's all I use anymore.
That's too bad.
I've had my eyes on Hytale for a couple of years. I do hope it comes out. Soon, or at all..
The article about atheists suing was very vague in its terminology about both the actual case and the reasons why. Reading between the lines it seems to be about US First Amendment, which is reasonable. If a political body or authority preferenced only one religion, that would violate it.
I had just finished playing some Minecraft when I heard about Hytale, so I had to check it out.
The article is vague, you're right.
I'm a fan of open world survival crafting games myself. Check out these titles if you're also interested: https://intosanctuary.com/index.php?threads/list-of-terraria-likes.1210/
That's a long list. I'm not even done with Minecraft yet.
