  • It’s great that you like VR and want other people to try it. But when someone asks for a recommendation, you can’t just attempt to drag them into your own world like that, c’mon. VR is expensive, cumbersome, needs extra space in the house, has very few games (actual games) worth playing, etc. It’s an amazing immersive technology, yes. But a 30yo that never touched a game before? There’s very little in terms of gaming on any VR platform for them to experience, instead there’s a lot of VRing, which I think misses the point of this thread.



  • From a non-american’s perspective this question is just baffling.

    Is high-school that bad of an experience for you guys? Where I come from that’s one of the best times in your life, when you get to hang out with friends and have little responsibility, etc.

    About homelessness, that’s another crazy one. People need to have a home and need friends and human interaction. Sleeping in your car without ever interacting with anyone is not a way of life.

    Others have also mentioned that prison without people is solitary confinement and that is known to literally drive people mad.





  • Young, female.

    Don’t get one if you ever intend to travel together and don’t have parents/close friends to leave them with. Cats are amazing but after they develop their little neuroticisms, you’ll never feel comfortable leaving them with strangers.

    If you live in a house in anything but the most remote places, keep them locked up otherwise they’ll go missing one day and it’ll break your heart.

    Other than that there’s not much that can go wrong, just pick the one you vibe more with and that’s it.



  • It’s always been this way. Except that it was kernel developers arguing with kernel developers over C code. Now it’s relative newcomers arguing with kernel developers over Rust code that the kernel devs don’t necessarily care about. Of course it’s going to be a mess.

    A fork is of course possible, but operating systems are huge and very complex, you really don’t want to alienate these folks that have been doing exclusively this for 30 years. It would be hard to keep the OS commercially viable with a smaller group and having to do both the day to day maintenance, plus the rewrite. It’s already difficult as it is currently.

    Rust will be a huge success in time, long after the current names have lost their impetus. This is not a “grind for 4 years and it’s done” project.



  • Hey, so I finally reached the ashlands. Yeah, still think the trailer is misleading. Like everything about it, except the staff of protection.

    Unfortunately, the ashlands is the most boring place in the whole game (haven’t reached the castle thing with a beacon though). Fast skeleton, slow skeleton, archer skeleton. Troll spider, big dog, fire blob. Inventory full within 30s because there’s 15 different types of material to collect. Maybe I should be pulling a cart around like in the trailer.


  • Yeah, sorry but this one is just counterproductive. Guys just don’t give a fuck. No one is going around “ooh, what if I pretend I can’t do this task so she then has to do it”. That’s just patriarchy and gender roles for you. Maybe try to have a conversation about the subject of chores without sticking the “you’re evil” tag on the other person. Well, for anything in life really. Also mental load is there for anyone, I see no point in bringing it up in this context. The dudes have to deal with a fair share of mental load as well, specially with all the emotional neglect and immaturity.
