Comment Re:VR Demands Specialized Input Devices (Score 1) 124

We've had wiimote/nunchuck style controllers for VR going back to the bulky arcade VR systems of the mid-90s, accessories are really not the problem. The true killer here is the lag between input and render. For almost any PC game unless I'm getting unplayable performance the response time between me moving the mouse and my screen moving with it is effectively instant. Every VR system I've ever seen though has a substantial lag time between moving and your view updating. That's just not going to work.

Neither would Blues, or pretty much any major iconic genre. Depending on how this case is construed it's basically going to kill homages and the like. FUN paying tribute to 99 luftballoons with a line in the lyrics? Better get that contractually approved.

"anti-feminist"... I hear that word thrown around a lot but the thing is it doesn't mean anything. Is Ayaan Hirsi Ali an anti-feminist? What about Amanda Marcotte? Karen Decrow? Cathy Brennan? Chanty Binx? Malala? Christina Hoff-Sommers? What counts as "feminist" is so broad that the term "anti-feminist" has lost as meaning. If people who commit hate crimes or lead literal hate groups or even just openly advocate hate and bigotry can be considered feminists just like the people who consider that first group "idiotic women" who are "obsessed with trivial bullshit" are considered feminists then the term "anti-feminist" is useless.

The ONLY meaningful information that word conveys is that the person using it is so utterly intellectually and morally bankrupt as to literally resort to screaming "communist!" to try and completely discredit someone purely on the grounds that said person disagrees with them.

And by the way that "rag" was saying the same thing dozens of our nation's most preeminent legal scholars are also publicly saying. That feminist policies are "madness" lacking even the most basic and fundamental concepts of due process and the presumption of innocence.

If you want to talk about little credibility and a transparent agenda lets talk about your side quoting outright fraudulent statistics deliberately designed to vastly inflate the number of female victims in order to create the false appearance of an epidemic that doesn't exist. Let's talk about the deliberate and calculated erasure of male domestic violence and rape victims in order to prop up a false narrative.

I was directly responding to someone bringing up the US, I thought it was pretty obvious in a threaded discussion that I was responding to the point about American views.

Also something doesn't need to be commonplace for ideologues and zealots to stir up a frenzy and even distort public policy over it. Just look at the HUAC's witch hunts trying to find communist spies and sympathizers.

I can buy an RPG and rockets right now. It'll cost an obscene amount of money, $200 to the ATF, and 6 months to over a year of investigation and paperwork processing but it's perfectly legal for me to do.

Also this isn't some random ad-hom, that was a literal quote from a major political player. People are literally so ignorant that they think "the shoulder thing that goes up" is a deadly part of an "assault weapon" and trying to write absurd legislation that regulates purely cosmetic features or go for a gun grab instead of actually doing something sensible.
