I think Valve has a real chance to masterstroke OVR here. If they sold VIVEs at a loss at like, $400 it'd be very hard not to cancel my pre-order. HTC doesn't have the spare cash to sell at a loss, but Valve does. Valve isn't that kind of business though. They just care that OVR sells their...

I don't think prices will come down. I think $600 will be the standard. At least $500. The tech will improve over the next five years, demanding the maintenence of that price. Once we get retina level display, eye tracking etc, it'll become commoditized.

ordered. I might cancel though. I put $500 as my definite yes and $700 as my definite no.

$630 with shipping. Way more than I thought.

I wasn't around for the betamax days, but you can rest assured that no matter who wins, the CV1 will be obsolete in a year or two. It's unlikely that the VIVE's first release will make it obsolete though.

So who else is preordering at 11?

Better get your coat. I'll buy it instantly if it's $500 or less. Over that will be tough.

Drones (DIY, commercial applications, general info:emoji_nose:

Itll be broadcasted.

There's basically four big VR systems that are either out or coming out: Gear VR: for your phone, not a direct competitor to the Rift. It's out and pretty good for what it is. PSVR: For the PS4, not a direct competitor to the Rift. It's not out yet. I expect it to be good, but without a...

a_skeleton_03's polls are way too damn long. This closes tonight.

Probably the most genuine AMA I've ever seen. I am Kimbo Slice AMA : IAmA

It wont be that goos yet.

It's a huge issue and one of the large barriers to providing good user support and a wide library of easily usable games for the DK2. But it's a beta/developer version so that's to be expected. For the CV1, I expect the following: 1. The CV1 will work out of the box with a decent...

That's a critical feature of VR / the rift, so I think you can expect that it will work with it. It's worked (and was broken) at different times with the DK2. One of the big hurdles with the DK1/2 was integration with the OS. They have to do very specific things to minimize the amount of latency...

Imagine if I said something like, "Hatorade's posts are so bad, only 25% of the population can understand anything he's saying.". But I include non-english speaking people in that. It'd be a meaningless number because only some 2 billion people in the world can speak passable english. It's...

Like the OP says there's a VR thread here: Virtual Reality - RIFT PREORDERS WEDNESDAY!! but it's ok to have both for now.

I actually thought they'd open preorders on Friday, and soften the blow with a media swarm of new content. Who knows what will come out in the next couple days.

Sounds about right. It's a super misleading number and techspot should be ashamed of the clickbait title. NVIDIA didn't say something as dumb as "1% of PCs will run this shit.". They said, "13 million will run it.". Then TechSpot looked at a different source that said, "Yeah there's about...

Yes. http://www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/rul...les_Policy.pdf We've had level 1 automation for years. Tesla is rolling out level 2 automation with their supercruise (lane following + automated cruise control that keeps speed with whatever is in front of you) in consumer's hands. Bosch...

@3:20 "when Ned cleaned his sword under the tree, was that a metaphorical masturbation?"

Haha. What is the story behknd it?

That's funny, I met a guy named Eyashusa on BB today and did a raid with him. I thought it was you, but he said you saw his name and were inspired by it.

I feel like if this is successful Ryan Reynold's will be happy to shit out a deadpool movie once a year for the next ten years. And he can probably just adlib his lines.

Came here to post that. Excellent news. I'm surprised he said it's ready to fire, I heard they were decommisioning it. Even if that means, "If we didn't take it apart and test it with great thoroughness we could have refired it" it'd still be great news.

If your mental model of your understanding of your opponent's argument is a dumb statement in all caps you should probably just save yours and everyone else's time and give up the argument.

Just to give some frame of reference, the way I see this going is this. This isn't the way it MUST go, just my current opinion. 1. Some number of moderator seats would be up for a vote. There are currently 12 mods. I like 12. Maybe more, maybe less. These seats might be divided arbitrarily...

Bran's age doesn't really matter. Once he merges with the tree-borg he becomes somewhat ageless.

I don't really know much about the sea dragon or rocket physics, but I do know bullshit. What you're doing is seeing credible criticism to your opinion and subconsciously undermining it by projecting an irrational motivation onto the speaker. This is a thread of science. Extraordinary claims...

SIDS scared the hell out of me. I always wonder how many of the ~2500 SIDS deaths a year were misattributed. I can imagine a lot of parents co-sleeping, waking up to find themselves laying on a corpse and calling it SIDS. Or finding their dead baby with a blanket wrapped around their head like...

I can't think of a single casual crafter who made a meaningful contribution in my last 11 years in PRX. We had a lot of them, sure. And they wanted to help and did so in small ways. But in the first month if you weren't poop-socking your crafting skills weren't high enough to help anyone or you...

That's kind of how I feel regarding the vessel system, I trust they'll sort it out and make it fun.

The best advice I give to people who are looking to code is to first find something they want that doesn't exist, then learn how to code it. Just learning to code gets old really fast for almost everyone, but the joy of making something cool is what gets you passed the tedious bullshit as a...

If you want to learn coding as a hobby or to help whatever stuff you do let us know what you want and we can recommend something. You're getting into the business side of things right? Didn't you do IT before?

How does EVE allow you to patrol/defend your areas? The only game I know of that even attempted that really was Shadowbane where you could have NPC guards in your cities and the tracking system allowed you to see a massive distance. On our server we didn't let another group get a Commander...
