The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn't even a VR game.

HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on... I fucking hated it. I didn't like standing and gaming. I didn't like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.
The porn was fun though.
That's my guess.
Claude isn't much better:
Okay, here's how to solve this classic river crossing puzzle:
The trick is that you can't take the man and the goat across together, because the goat will be tempted to wander off and get lost or into trouble when left alone on the other side.
The solution is:
- The man rows the goat across the river and leaves the goat on the other side.
- The man then rows back alone.
- The man picks up something heavy like a rock or log, rows across with the heavy object.
- He leaves the heavy object on the other side and brings the goat back.
- Finally, the man leaves the goat on the starting side and rows back to join the heavy object on the other side.
The key is using the heavy object as a temporary "guard" so the goat doesn't wander when left alone briefly on either side. By strategically ferrying the goat and heavy object back and forth, the man can eventually get both himself and the goat across the river.
Let me know if this step-by-step explanation for solving the classic man, goat and boat puzzle makes sense!
My dog barks some. Therefore nuke Gaza.
This is great! Now we don't have to let any immigrants in. Instead we can have them do all our menial chores remotely with this robot and we don't have to give them citizenship. Everyone wins! Huzzah!
That tree looks like the stranger on the street who offers to babysit your daughters for free.
Including Down and Out In The Magic Kingdom? 'Cause Walkaway is the prequel
You should read the book. Might just change your mind
How could they possibly take all of anything in a POST-scarcity society?
Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. I was interested in anarchism in my college years, but turned away from it because of what I perceived as the strongman problem. What happens when the psychopaths come for what you have?
Walkaway solved that. In a post scarcity society, you walk away. Let them have your shit. You can build new shit, better shit, avoiding the mistakes you made and making grander mistakes forever into the future.
This book brought me back into the fold. It was transformative, and in a really big way

I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides "do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed." And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.
