Comment on Apple Vision Pro – Hardware issues in ~tech

Pimax has an 8K headset that goes to 160° horizonal FOV. For reference the Quest 2 and Quest Pro have visible horizontal FOVs of 97° and 106° on 2K displays (source: vr-compare.com).
I think it's possible for Apple to do improve upon this but they haven't marketed it or put it on any specs lists so I'm leaning towards they just don't compete on that front.

The campaign had characters like Ghost. I wouldn't be surprised if the next COD release has slower sales

However, I don't think Microsoft gaining Blizzard will help them in the short term. They've said they won't make Call of Duty an Xbox/PC exclusive (for potentially a decade?). I imagine Playstation gamers still make up a huge portion of microtransaction sales

Comment on Any Tildes users in college? Dorm or off-campus living for the first year? in ~life

This kind of forces you to interact with people in the same situation as you and it becomes very easy to make friends initially. There are so many people that feel like after their freshman year it can be difficult to make friends because they lose this opportunity

You might spend longer trying to get a game to work on Windows than actually playing the game. I did play Modern Warfare II with minimal issues though. The touch pads are extremely nice and if you plan on playing games that heavily make use of a cursor, they can be much better than the thumbsticks. All in all, if you want games to just work, you should look at the Ally more. If you don't mind tinkering a little bit for a little more flexibility and support then maybe the Deck is better for you.
Diablo IV: Just finished the third act on the druid class. The game is fun but I don't get excited about it when I'm not playing it. I do want to make a hardcore character after I finish the campaign.
Battlebit Remastered: My friends wanted to play this game with them and for $15, it's pretty fun. The game is pretty much a battlefield clone but without the greed. The servers are active and the community seems pretty good so far. It helps that the devs tell you a million times they will ban you for offensive chat.
