It is, consumer pricing (<$100,000) realistic humanoid robots is like, decades away. Stupidly expensive expensive sex bots that can walk, talk etc aren't even within 11 years away or even 20 years probably. In this guys' career he'll probably say they're ~10 years away many times over many...

They need to combine Madden with Skylanders. You have to buy each player you want to use for $19.99 on their store, and then put him on a $99.99 lineup board to activate him.

hahaahaha

I also forgot about the bet and assumed he was a GSP fan.

I dated my wife for 5 years before we got married. Didn't live together till after we got married. I doubt it'd affect anything for us, but everyone is different. Grumpus, if you don't want to believe that she can change for the worse over dating for a couple more years, look at it this way...

This community is basically an online computer club! Grumpus, whatever happens enjoy it, but don't marry for another year at least.

Wait you didn't give her a turn?

After what's being done with VR honestly this stuff doesn't even register anymore.

I think legit nerd attire is something cheap that needed to be washed a week ago and has lots of greasy stains on it. Maybe I'm just biased because that's what I wear.

See I actually wish my wife wanted a blue sapphire ring. I think they're (or emerald, or ruby) much better looking than a white gem like diamond or moissanite.

Never heard of Amora before (As much bullshit as I talk about gems I don't really pay attention and am just a layman). Pretty neat, but I don't think it beats a diamond based on this video:

2.6 It's technically higher than a diamond, but it refracts differently than a diamond, basically having two bands of light which is undesirable. The best way to describe it is with this image:

Never understood the allure of getting a yellow diamond (or really any non-white diamond). Not only is yellow one of the undesirable traits of one dimension of the 4 C's, but if you get one that size many people will assume it's a topaz or sapphire. Plus yellow looks ugly in general, it's just...

You were texting in a movie theatre?

How to Enable Oculus Rift DK2 Support for Half-Life 2 and SteamVR The SteamVR display is pretty cool too. It's the first VR UI I've seen. Probably the most striking thing is how the display extends below your nipple level, which is usually the bottom of the monitor for me, and I usually have...

HL2 worked well, I followed a somewhat long guide for it, let me know if you have trouble. I only played it for a few minutes before I had to go though. re: the arcade's supported games, I haven't found a good website that has: 1. Most of the DK2 demos/games/tools/etc 2. Ratings/download...

Yep. The reason it's a ghost town is because they forgot to put resources and game mechanics to drive player competition in those areas. There's myriad ways they could do it, but the most obvious way is to increase the value of northern-only crops/mobs/resources and create a system to conquer...

Oh Isaac Newton and his humble bragging...

Looks ingame to me. Maybe not real time. Their physics based rendering is amazing.

I wouldn't mind having a fully armored division in the UFC.

Yes, or rather, they only want to be seen liking Zelda. They don't even care about whatever nerdy thing they're pretending to be.

year and a half... Think about it again in another year and a half. But if you do get a ring, I'd recommend not basing it off of pop culture, but that's just me. People who claim to be 'nerds' and get shit like a zelda ring are probably wannabes.

Will probably buy something really similar to this when the 880s come out.

I'm more focusing on technological innovation than intelligence, rather than conflating either knowledge, intelligence or innovation. I do this for three reasons: 1. It's impossible to quantifiably compare intelligence between generations (especially generations separated by hundreds of years)...

Our SEA allies have houses full of posters of asian women. I mean like

I think that'd have the opposite effect. Also the rate at which we're advancing makes the tech we're producing makes the Renaissance look like pre-school. Keep in mind that the Renaissance occurred over some three centuries.

I don't really want to derail this thread further, but I think you both have an awkward view of technological progress, a rosy view of what the early 1900s / Renaissance was like and an underrating appreciation of all the cool shit going on now. You guys are suggesting that those time periods...

SSDs also decrease load times between boots. Extreme Gaming Desktop - Aventum II by Digital Storm PC Is a masterpiece. Makes me reconsider ditching my watercooling setup for the next iteration.

Getting more and more shit to work. Sightline and quake2 is great in VR. Quake2 is the first real game I've attempted and I can definitely see playing FPS games with the Rift. I can also tell I'm getting my 'vr legs' as it were. Probably the hardest part is re-adjusting to after being in the...

The waves would be really insidious too. You'd roll up to a pack of mobs and immediately place your guys, then dudes would parachute on top of the ideal place for your healer.

Yeah adeibis stop posting those phat asses.

yeah GotG is the first movie this year that people (including me) seem to not mind seeing a second time.

I'm talking in absolute terms, not "Oh, that drawing is shit but she's only 3 years old!". The moon landing is impressive and there's no doubt, but the idea that mankind somehow progressed to a peak when we landed on the moon and is slowly devolving is easily disproven by all the cool shit...

Oh and I'd also say that what we're fixing to do with landing a robot on a comet is more impressive than the moon landing.

For those who think we're getting dumber, which generation of humanity do you think was the most intelligent? The 50s generation? And obviously it's pre-mature, but I'd say the stuff we're doing related to quantum mechanics now is on the same level if not more important than the nuclear...

If you buy a mouse that looks like you pretty much deserve it to be a piece of shit. g600 is nice

The best was when they released a gameplay demo a week before and the community was taken aback. All the fanboys reassured each other with, "Oh this is just something they threw together last minute as a tech demo. The real game will be muuuch better.". Turns out that 'tech demo' was the opening...

Thanks. I'm thinking of buying it to go with my rift dk2 so I can have enough horsepower to chug through everyone's shitty unoptimized demos (including my own).

That's not my metric. After the first content patch the Cyrodiil populations were dead everynight. Then a few days later mysteriously a bunch of them went full. It's possible this is because the community finished the new content and went back to Cyrodiil but my guess is they adjusted the...
