VR without motion controls is just a bad display with bad ergonomics. Cardio is the only good use case for VR as far as I'm concerned.

You're full of shit about consumers not caring about latency. How do I know? Because consumer monitor reviews always measure it and they measure it because people used to get mad about the increasingly bad latency in monitors after the CRT era ruining how games felt to play. According to rtings 10 ms is a noticeable difference. I will concede, however, that this is only if you pay attention to such things and the entire chain including the input latency and rendering is not so much longer that it would absolutely swamp a 10 ms difference, which it unfortunately often is.

Latency on Quest 3 over steamlink feels bad in rhythm games and when punching things, compared to just playing on my Index, or on-device quest games. Since we're not counting those people anyway I'll just match your countless people who agree it's suitable with my countless people who vehemently disagree.

That's how I felt when Index came out so I grabbed one. 7 years is a long time to go with no new headsets though so I ended up getting a Quest 3 - the OS sucks but the hardware is quite good. Pico might have been a better choice. I wish Valve had released a slightly upgraded Index, it's still a great headset now and I use it instead of the quest almost every time but the resolution and sharpness are really quite dated.

If anything Dario is worse. He's not selling an AI service, hell, he isn't even providing it properly to the people who paid, he's selling the idea of an omnipotent machine god and if you don't invest you lose everything.

Highly unlikely, they're supply restrained anyway and the hype machine runs on its own so there'd be no point.

Liking and subscribing is how you get a better feed.

This is false, VR (unless your application does locomotion which is a well known no-no) causes less motion sickness than FPS games on flat screens do.

I was a big fan of VR when Valve Index came out, as far as I'm concerned it's the best home cardio machine ever invented. It's a good idea, but the initial (post-oculus) energy got sucked out of the market by facebook selling their hardware at a loss to win marketshare only to then spend all their resources on the abject failure of their metaverse and basically kill the entire field. Apple's vision (ha) for VR doesn't appeal to me as much.

Any class where the AIs can already do the work now is a wasteful class by the time the students graduate, nobody's going to pay a human to do it anymore.

If AI can do the homework wouldn't employers be better off getting one of those instead of an expensive sack of meat? Younger generations can smell it's all a bullshit waste of time since it's already automated and becoming even more so every passing week. The problem isn't that schools can't stomp out AI use in students, the problem is that schools can't pre-empt what skills would actually be worth having by the time the students graduate, and the students can tell. I would like to add that all the time you spend on school is time away from 3), self-directed interests and projects.

Of course gamers are entitled, they're the ones spending the money. You don't get to milk them without giving them a compelling product in return - and like you said, there's plenty to choose from so the bar is high.

Having cultural exchange at the university level is a long-standing and generally successful strategy to unify the world. I think people just didn't expect China to be quite so ungrateful about it. As for competition - I don't think the people running academia feel personally affected by it.

Plenty of good non-AAA games around though. All my favorite games cost under 25€.

Playstation games in the 80s? You have your timelines mixed up.

Try shopping on Steam, games are so cheap there I end up buying more than I can play.
