iirc in unmodded Fallout 4 VR you can grab some plot-critical item early on because your motion controller hands phase through glass

it's not plot-critical but it is way more powerful than you should be able to, there's a unique gun behind the highest-level lock in the game right in the starting area and you're supposed to come back later but can just grab it in vr

fun fact weight goes up as a factor of the cube of your height but bmi uses the square instead so you're penalized for being tall :eng101:

i personally prefer android because the pixel Just Works as well as an iphone and im less locked into a stupid ecosystem with it. also it has a very easy universal back "button" of sorts (pull from left edge, also has an equivalent for forward) and on every iphone ive used i had to learn how to go back for each individual app and just lol

I hope this doesn't result in a lot of angry android users yelling "but we deserve expensive things too" at me like when I occasionally make the mistake of posting in the Chromebook thread

the problem with ~the metaverse~ is that we never got a cogent pitch as to why the gently caress we should care. we already have several online spaces that functionally behave not unlike the metaverse as pitched, places like world of warcraft or eve online or second life. but whereas those all have specific pitches (be a cool fantasy guy with cool loot who fights monsters, be a space capitalist, or have cybersex with furries) there was never any pitch for the facebook metaverse besides, uh, i guess you can wear a headset and have meetings?? even ignoring the weird infatuation with vr tech, a neat toy that has yet to prove itself out for a practical usage for the vast majority of people, the metaverse still remained a weird space with no explanation of why i, a 33yo computer toucher, should care, let alone my 70yo parents or my 40yo stay-at-home mom sister. it was never for anyone besides investors, and it turns out that if you're making a product you have to get the potential consumers to care

Since only furries like vrchat type apps, Meta's biggest mistake was not trying to turn everyone into a furry first

you joke but legitimately the fact that meta's pitched metaverse was doomed to only exist as the sterile and brand-friendly apple store vision of the future was a huge turn-off. second life is interesting because of its laissez-faire attitude towards the things people do in it, facebook would never have let people run actual goddamn brothels inside it
