Pepsi

i mean sure, maybe i don’t get it on the level you do. maybe nobody here has such a refined sense of taste in humor as you.

but that doesn’t excuse you being a whiny bitch about it.

🙄

Weird to get self-righteous about your inability to understand clear sarcasm

yeah originallucifer is pretty much talking out of his ass.

all i can say is that this does happen from time to time. a while ago there was a few day lag on a single episode of The Price is Right. i wouldn’t worry too much.

i can’t believe it matters this much to you

why does an “active and engaged player base” matter at all? you can host a personal/local dedicated server, so no worries about them shutting the servers off. the game has no larger community interactions beyond what happens on a server. there’s not even pvp that would suffer from a diminished player base.

do you, like, only play games that other people think are cool?

i mean since you’re gonna be a twat about it, there’s an easy fucking solution: fork lemmy and adjust the federation to your liking.

if you’re not willing to do that, or any of the other workarounds in this thread, you’re just bitching to bitch.

Folks have given you a half dozen solutions here and your answer is consistently dismissive.

Did you want your problem solved or did you just want to bitch and argue?

at no point did anyone in this chain say it was revolutionary. you’re shadowboxing against an argument nobody is making lol

A smug sense of self-satisfaction

Dude you obviously aren’t going to listen.

You decided this product isn’t going to be useful for anyone because you personally don’t see any utility.

You’re personally offended Apple didn’t make a VR headset for you. I’m sorry kid.

What I don’t get is the caustic hostility you’re displaying in this thread about a product for creative professionals and tradesmen (of which you are neither).

we know you can’t lol

that doesn’t mean they don’t exist though

You’re a retail consumer and you’re confused why all of the messaging you’re seeing is geared towards retail consumers?

why would it need to be a massive immediate retail success?

moreover, why do you seem so irritated that you might not be the target audience here?

do you seriously think retail consumers are the demographic Apple is trying to capture right now?

talk to some creative professionals & craftsmen. my company used to work with hololens on a regular basis but there way too much jank in how it performed in a live setting. If the Vision Pro provides even the same level of utility but manages to make live object rendering & tracking consistent and reliable, they’re going to sell truckloads. Hollywood alone has probably 100 different ways to use this tech on set to slim creative workflows and save time (and therefore money). a $5000 headset is practically a rounding error when your principals cost 10x that per hour.

it’s not just that i want to stay in my bubble i want to make sure everyone else stays in my bubble too

nintendo isn’t pouring anything into mario+rabbids, it’s an ubisoft game through and through.

congrats you didn’t even try to answer the questions he asked.

i’m curious…were you just answering the questions you wanted him to ask instead?

I don’t think my “window of experience” has any impact on the objective reality that cable had ads from square 1.

that’s patently untrue.

the first cable stations were OTA (network) stations from major cities being served to rural areas. those had ads.
the first cable-specific channel was TBS which was just a converted Atlanta NBC channel that also had ads.
as basic cable grew, new channels launched with ads.

Premium channels like HBO launched in the 70s without ads but afaik those channels are still ad-free except self-promotion between shows.
