I haven't played Spec Ops: The Line in years, yet it still haunts me. Anybody who's played the game all the through will know exactly why. This is weird, but as was mentioned, it's most likely due to a licensing issue, especially in terms of music.

It’s one of the few big video game stories with great commentary on the industry itself and that ending…really stays with you. The gameplay itself hasn’t aged well but it doesn’t overstay its welcome.

The first product from Neuralink would be called Telepathy, Musk said in a separate post on X.
Typical Musk, immediately willing to over-promise and under-deliver by picking a name that inspires assumptions in the consumers of an impossible leap in current technology.

"Autopilot" promises had to be walked back because EU forced them to do so. "Telepathy" for the human brain is infinitely more brazen of a marketing ploy, and it will hurt people as well.
Advanced ESP is only available by subscription.

Don't forget that it's perpetually in beta

Well, today will be an interesting day. Turns out Verno is a mod. He is deleting any posts that draw attention to this thread calling it "griefing". I suspect that he will try to ban me soon. We'll see what happens.

Step 1: Threw false accusations.
Step 2: Post lies to support your position.
Step 3: Ignore evidence that refutes your lies
Step 4: Delete posts to call attention to your lies

What will your step 5 be Verno?

For the record only Blue and Frans can issue bans. Mods can only remove posts and in my entire time here I think I've removed less than 20.

Your posts were deleted because you were attempting to harass me in totally unrelated threads for the past few days. They would have been deleted if you had the same interaction with any other user. None of us are owed a response by others here, we all participate at our leisure. In the future though, I'm just going to leave any rule violations that involve me to Blue or JD so that you or others don't feel that a biased or unfair decision was made.

It's clear to me that I shouldn't have made my last post in this thread as it was more directed at you rather than your post content and that's not the example we want to set here. You are clearly hurt or upset about it judging by your actions the past few days. I should've just exited the thread after the debate became circular from my point of view. So for that I do apologize and hope that we can all just move on with life.

We all have disagreements but no one gets to harass other users on the forum. This is a thread about the Apple Vision Pro, not about interpersonal beefs or grudges. Work it out over PM or use the ignore feature. Let's all get back to the topic at hand, shall we?

I just don't see a real purpose to the device with its current specs and limitations. There doesn't seem to be much to actually do with it. I don't mind high prices as long as there is a real use case that justifies the price but there is nothing here. Maybe I'm not forward thinking enough but AR/wearables would have a hard enough time if they had the same form factor as real glasses, let alone with all of the other bulk, issues and the exorbitant price. I was a pretty big VR enthusiast for several years but even I've largely put it aside now as the drawbacks are too numerous and impossible to ignore.

Since we got the air fryer we rarely use the microwave anymore. It's usually a combination of air fryer, oven and grill/smoker. I think we use the microwave for melting butter if we're in a rush, that's about it.

I don't know, I find reddit pretty useful as there isn't much out there like it where I can get solid first hand user accounts for products, services, niche interests and etc. It sucks but I do "need" it whereas Twitter I don't use at all.

Yeah I tend to agree Agent, Microsoft is really bad at managing it's first party studios and IP catalog in general. Halo: Infinite was a disaster and permanently tarnished the IP due to their lack of follow through post release. They've got Turn 10 churning out quality and very little other consistency. Obsidian is doing a lot of AA stuff which is fine but not really helping their larger problem. They keep insisting Sea of Thieves is a big success based on engagement but I don't see it reflected in streaming or money. Crazy how they basically passed on Insomniac too who are now churning out hits for Sony.

That said they mostly did the ActiBlizz acquisition to get King for the mobile IP as they are supposedly launching another app store soon.

I didn’t really care for Mirage and I don’t have a lot of faith they will do better than Ghost of Tsushima. I will admit that the new Prince of Persia game is dope as hell though.

Bullshit. I watched the video. Yet again you're being disingenuous to spam your bizarre hyperfixation.

One prototype driven for a 14 hour long publicity stunt does not in any way, shape, or form mean electric vehicles are getting solid state batteries this year. "Electric vehicles", plural, infers mass production which is far from the truth.

So not only are you sending in scam, clickbait links, you're merrily lying about their content to push whatever bizarre agenda you have.

Blue should pull that link because it's pure, unadulterated misinformation. There is no mass production of electric vehicles planned for 2024.

Go take a walk or something, you’re being a bit top shelf sheesh. We get worse submissions here on a regular basis and we can decide for ourselves what is worth checking out.

There's been no reproducible benchmark deficiencies related to Denuvo that I recall, just a lot of claims. That said, it's insistence on an internet connection has been problematic in the past as its often paired with SP games. Also who knows if the publisher or Denuvo themselves will be around in 10+ years. Some companies will remove Denuvo voluntarily after the first 90 days of sales since that's a critical period but others do not.

Maybe reddit should pivot to be a search engine company. How convenient would it be to not have to add "reddit" to every search engine query?

Yeah agreed. I rarely use google for searching anything other than Reddit these days.

Yeah a misleading title for sure. The tech is definitely coming but it's mass market availability is likely 6+ years away. We'll start seeing some in 2-3 years but probably not at scale.

Still I like being up to date on this stuff so cheers Simon.

At the end of the day it's BluesNews, not Only The News I Want to Read. I admit I get frustrated with seeing the same topics at times but there's just the news cycles. 99% of the time I just shrug and move on. I actually have an RSS feed on battery stuff because it genuinely interests me and we barely get any of it posted here.

I like Obsidian but Avowed looks really generic and the combat looks genuinely awful - whifflebat nonsense with no real impact conveyed in the press stuff so far. It looks like AA Skyrim to be blunt, not necessarily a bad thing but coming in after BG3 I have to admit my expectations are raised for RPGs going forward.

You're back to arguing in bad faith.

"But I'm not arguing!"

Whatever. Do you think because your methods are more subtle that I can't recognize exactly what you're doing? I'm not a moron. Play oh so innocent all you want. I'm a little insulted that you think that I can't see what you're doing. But it's all good. I don't fault a person for trying. Good day sir.

He was arguing in bad faith the entire time - attempting to blame others for his lack of research about a subject he somehow had strong opinions about, trying to constant re-frame facts to suit his opinion, running posts through ChatGPT, etc. At the end of the day opinion doesn't matter - this was legally settled so attempting to rewrite history is pointless and the facts speak for themselves.

Hope you had a good weekend despite KC winning Prez
