    Virtual Reality

    Yeah Oculus changed their story. A couple months ago they said no dev kit, then recently they said they'd do a dev kit with identical specs to the consumer version. Now they're saying they'll do a dev kit 2 and the consumer version will be improved. My guess is that they're constantly...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Who is saying that body-control is 'LOL KID STUFF'? I don't like it because I don't want to physically move around and my body isn't a very good input device for the games I want to play.

    What he really needs is some timeskips. He should have had a couple timeskips in the books already.

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    I think the reason we like Zaraki is because whenever he fights one of these dicks he has the same attitude the reader has, as in he's thinking, "Wow what kind of dumbass character do I have to kill now? This is dumb hurry this shit a long fucking hell" He also has the best 'power ups' and...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Bro he punched him. This is a huge mirror to the Lee vs Gaara fight. I don't think there's a question that Madara is going to come out of this okay, but Guy is the first person to make Madara look mortal which is the most one could ask from someone like Guy.

    On the other hand their hmds have been awful. A big question is whether the dinosaurs responsible for zero innovation are also responsible for morpheus. I think we will know today if that's the case.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Apparently the design helps reduce the amount of force on your face. The biggest question will likely be if the solved the motion sickness problem. We will know tomorrow, but I'm betting Sony can match what the rift did.

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    Having worked in many projects where no one was dead weight I completely disagree with this. Yes, there will always be a weakest link, sometimes there's a couple mediocre guys and a couple talented guys and that's ok. Is there ever an instance in your mind that you think it'd be okay to fire...

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    It's difficult to agree with that when I, and likely most people, have first hand experience of what happens when a weak or incapacitated manager keeps dead weight in the group. Not only does the dead weight drain the resources but people see him get cut slack constantly and lose their...

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    It's not just how things work. It's how things should work. The talented employees attempt to leave groups with dead weight in them and if you're a manager with mediocre employees and deadweight your group can't be effective.

    Kudos, why are you focused on January's numbers for a product that was sold out everywhere?

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    No. It's the manager's job to ensure the job his group is assigned gets done. Part of being a supervisor/manager is the hiring and firing process. It'd be nice if everyone you hire shows up ready to work and didn't lie about their skills but that's not the case.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The design decisions Zenimax is making to side with MMO or ES are so confounding. It's like if you lined up all the choices they had to make to choose the MMO way or the ES way you could make a better game by doing the opposite of what they're doing.

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    lulz. No surprise that Dumar thinks someone has a job so they can be coddled rather than perform. Another tidbit of advice I heard a long time ago, if you've got a few really shitty employees that are being carried by everyone else, group them up together and assign a non-critical project to...

    Myriad possibilities are not relevant to express or be concerned about. It could be that I'm the OP, that you're the OP or that the OP is a researcher and this is all an experiment.

    I think I have become a shitty human being

    There's a few possibilities here: 1. The guy was an over-achiever who was motivated and worked really hard but just didn't have the experience, intelligence and/or talent to deliver at the level he was at. 2. The guy was a bullshitter who got the job because he knew all the right words to say...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I never understood the choice to have ultra-detailed ship models that limited the number of ships so drastically. If you're flying around you're unlikely to be close to that many ships at a time, so all that detail is wasted. Everytime I see the ship limitation I don't understand why they can't...

    C++ is always a good answer for a first language, but the truth is that it depends on what you want to build. If you wanted to go beyond the shell scripting you use every day but still want to do IT/server/webstuff, python/php/javascript are good candidates. Those three are very similar...

    I don't want to rain on your parade and I'm thankful that you're financing this game's massive budget. However you spent thousands of dollars building up a strategy for a game while your knowledge of the game is based entirely on PR speak. Your dream is to have a fleet that can engage the game...
