This is true for VR in general. I got caught up in a treat frenzy and splurged on an Oculus Quest 2. Some games were actually fun for a while but after a few months I just returned to playing normal ass video games and now I mostly regret buying the thing.

Maybe I could see it having some staying power in those places with laser tag and stuff like that where you can actually run around with the headset but honestly I can't see most people justifying the upfront cost for a gimmick.

I'm sorry but this is just complete nonsense. Sami people getting their own state would be cool I guess but otherwise this is just an arbitrary clusterfuck, especially the balkans.

Which mod is this? Does it make stellaris politics better? I've always found the vanilla system kinda limiting.

To be fair it was clear to most people outside of neolib techbro circles that electric cars are really impractical for the average person.

On the other hand, less documentation means more job security for the people that failed to produce said documentation.

80% sure it's football hooligan chuds (possibly even outright fascists) from eastern Europe. A lot of these groups co-opted "ACAB".

I use sonicare too it's great but you don't really need the top end models, the tech inside is the same as the lower-mid end models it's just some marketing bullshit.

Chatgpt is just Cortana with better marketing. AI isn't smart, it's just algorithms producing a facsimile of language via pattern heatmaps. What was Cortana if not just an earlier version of the same thing?

Well no, not really IMO. Cortana as far as I know wasn't based on LLMs as we know them today, it was a way older method of NLP. You're right that on a high level it's pretty similar but the underlying technology is qualitatively different IMO.

Yeah tbh if you paid for the cat toy more than $5 you've almost certainly wasted money. Mine gets bored of most toys after a few days except for a few banger toys he still uses, but those also cost like $5.

Not sure if that's true for table tennis. Like yeah if you're just barely starting out sure get the $10 paddle but pretty soon (maybe even within a month or two) you're gonna want a better paddle if you want to be at all serious about it.

Electric toothbrushes. Don't get the cheapest one either, get a mid range one from a good brand but the top end models of the good brands are just scams, they just look a bit nicer and have some shitty "AI powered" app you'll never use.

 

I need me some VST plugins to fuck around with but I'm not spending ~$100 per plugin. I can find some shitty torrent trackers on search engines but they tend to not have what I want and/or are filled with malware.
