I guess it was actually "VCR Plus+" which is dumb af

Ah yes, who doesn't like C Plus+?

Yes, but it is also very different. I have a VR headset and use it every now and then. But compared to "normal" gaming it is quite different.

When playing a non-VR game you can just minimize the game and check stuff between rounds/matches/when you pause/etc. With VR I feel like you have to be there all the time, and the headsets are still heavy so you can't play as long. Not to mention you are usually standing.

I like VR and think it will be good eventually, but it is not there yet. It is 100% playable as it is, but the overall tech is not quite there yet.

The first half of the page is AI/ads, and the rest is SEO optimized trash.

If any other search engine was worth any time, then those would be full of SEO as well. SEO is a huge buisness and as long as people just click on the first or second links (yes, they do) then it will continue.

Google and other search engines can try to combat it but as long as the money involved are good, it will not go away.

Does this "Security Theater" actually scare away a would-be terrorist?

I very much doubt it. Also it would be a lot easier to just bribe/threaten/blackmail an airport employee to "forget" to lock a gate or similar and get anything you want in that way.

Something quite important to keep in mind is that this is nothing new, there have been raytracers since at least the 70s. However, they were never anywhere near real time. A simple scene with just a few simple objects could take hours to render.

That it is now possible to do with much more complex meshes, more lighting and much higher resolution and also many times per second shows how much faster (and specialised) the hardware has become.

Pi-hole network is probably the easiest approcah

This is just gambling, betting that you'll cash out before everyone else, but after the price has run up.

Even worse, it is unregulated gambling. In normal gambling there are rules. Yes, the house will always win in the long run as the odds are in their favor, but the game is set up in a transparent way and doesn't change half way through.

Also the original idea of cryptocurrency was never speculation and cashing out. But sadly it has turned into that in 99% of the time.

Nah, just don't play the AAA bullshit. It is not worth your time to pirate

Same for me, mute it almost instantly (sometimed all sound). Usually listening to my own music, or podcast, or video on second monitor, or just sit in silence.

Having said that, I will probably buy the soundtrack and listen to it. But that doesn't have to be while playing factorio.

That un-peaceful (violent?) mode is quite boring and tedious.

I normally never play with it, but started the Space Age runthrough with all default settings.
