I had to look up what gyro aiming is. FYI for others: https://www.33rdsquare.com/what-does-gyro-aiming-mean-an-in-depth-look-at-the-next-evolution-in-gaming-controls/

Man I hope “unlived” only gets used ironically, if not also with a decent dose of snark

Yup. Made some points I hadn’t considered yet, like a few companies locking in a monopoly

Ah, missed the part about it being the dark side. Just saw the pretty image

How representative is this to what it would like to the human eye?

Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.

Oh, nothing about our culture would permit someone to do that. I don’t expect him to. It’s just a nice fantasy

How can they vote for him if he’s not on the ballot?

Not only switch candidates, but have Biden have the humility to back that person. Do it in the name of Democracy, you know: this election is too important and I realize we need a stronger candidate than I can be. That would sell well, and that’s what’s needed for better or worse: a good narrative

As many others are commenting that’s, unfortunately, not the concern here. It’s theater, and he bombed and his lapses will be broadcast ad nauseum to drive that impression to the impressionable

Or he could step down with dignity and back his replacement candidate. Seems like that would help sway voters in the Democrats favor

You start learning it in day care depending on the region

I’m with you on the fact that incredible music is still being made. It’s not that hard to find, either. Bandcamp collates music on blogs for all types of taste, for instance. And there’s all kinds of ways to play off what we already know we like to gradually discover new artists - and expand our tastes.

It’s weird to me that people settle on a certain collection of music and then just stop. It’s even odder when they then complain that nothing else is as good.

What do you find is the advantage of these over a mouse?

They keep referencing The Outer Worlds for comparison. Wasn’t that game kinda panned?

It’s really tough to push past and ignore that first part to get to answering your question. Like, that elephant taking up the whole room and trumpeting

I don’t want my parents to experience my death / want to make sure they are helped in their last years. I’ve told them that there’s an expiration onn that though. Like, you wanna live to 100? You’ll be doing it without me.

Along the same lines, I’ve been reading short SF stories here to get away from social media: https://www.freesfonline.net/NewAdditions.html

That headline reads like it’s telling us the results of a study
