It was a guy who paid the cop $30 to jerk off to her having sex with her husband that was complaining. He's just trying to get out of whatever mess he got himself into and trying to use it as an excuse.
Which person in this article is afraid of sex? The one who streamed herself having sex on the internet, the one who paid $30 to watch it, or the one in charge who said none of this matters?
“You can’t arrest me no more – I’ve seen your private parts,” he said, noting how his attitude changed during the stop.
“I wouldn’t want her to be arresting me and I just saw you and your husband last night for $29.99 have sex on OnlyFans. I just can’t respect you or the precinct that you’re working at.”
That’s a shitty thing he said, but that’s not what gaslighting means. Gaslighting is when you psychologically manipulate someone with false information, in order to make them question reality. It’s not merely making fun of someone.
The information does not have to be false nor the act successful to be gaslighting. In this case someone is skewing facts in an attempt to render their vacancy of a situation by making another feel as though their crime/guilt of unrelated actions is stronger, when it’s actually non-existent.
This is some wild logic, too. Like, my dude, they can definitely still arrest you even if you don’t respect them. I’m pretty sure that’s the default state of most people being arrested.
Watching Activision burn is great. What a shit company with shit ideas. No wonder another dumpster company like Microsoft wanted it. Shit sticks together.
He’s right, a product like that would have failed dramatically. At this point I just want them to release a dumb AF, streaming-only, inside-out tracking VR headset that connects to PCs. Forget trying to cram an expensive Qualcomm or AMD chip in there, it will never give you the ideal VR experience. Make something that’s $200 bucks, connects to any PC running SteamVR, and just does extremely well with streaming and low-latency. Both Airlink and VRDesktop have already shown that its possible to get extremely close to a cabled experience. All that’s left is some polish.
That’s basically what I got. Xreal Air (formerly Nreal until a C&D from Epic). 1080p per eye and something like 49PPD with a 45° FOV. Tracking is 6DOF and requires software on the host (only complaint) and connectivity is via a USB-C cable (uses DP alt mode).
It’s nearly as “dumb” as an HMD can get. From the teardowns that I’ve seen, it’s really just got an MCU, a GPIO expander, a 6DOF chip, and the displays + drivers. And I love that about it. No batteries or anything to worry about.
It is pretty narrow but also what makes it work, IMO. I don’t have them for immersion but for display replacement. The narrow field of view lets the 1080p display have nearly 0 screen door effect. Plus, the birdbath optics are really cheap compared to waveguides or fancy lenses in VR headsets.
This has been on my radar for a while to compliment my steam deck. But I believe it doesn’t do head tracking with the steam deck or does it? I just want a floating screen in front of me that stays still when moving my head around, otherwise I’m gonna hurl!
I think it’s great for my Deck but, that will indeed be a problem. The headset contains only the sensors and display systems but, none of the logic circuitry to “pin” displays. Including that would increase the price a good deal.
Understood thanks for the feedback. After posting you reignited my interest and I found out that they also have their product called beam which would do the trick to make a spatial display… if you’re willing to cough up another 120 for it!
Yeah… I’m not :P But, I am plotting a DIY solution. A solution that will probably cost more than $120 on components but, I think it will still be worth it.
So, I’ve got one for my steam deck and it’s less an issue than you might think, in my opinion.
When you’re focused on the screen, it doesn’t create too much incongruity when the background shifts, and it’s easy to just let you brain parse the screen as something that just floats in front of you.
It’s not immersive enough to get the inner ear involved and confused. It’s a lot closer to holding a phone sideways about six inches from your face and moving your head around.
The only time it felt weird was when I was using it in a well lit room, and I shifted my focus to something not on the screen, that was closer than the apparent distance to the floating display. It was weird feeling my vision try to reconcile that the nearer thing was moving behind the far thing.
I just want to be able to buy something like an Oculus CV1 without Oculus software/proprietary hardware and a nicer screen. I’m still rocking the same unit I got several years ago and it’s still plenty fine for most things.
All of the fancy things like wireless and no-tower tracking are nice, but I imagine a lot of players are going to be seated and just want the immersion. Why not have a $300-400 offering that does this?
I could be wrong on this since I have no source but I always assumed that Oculus headsets were cheap because they’re a Meta product and you’re actually paying for it with your data/telemetry.
Like, the ungodly amount they spent on VR R&D is absolutely not being made up for by the few hundred dollar price tag on their headsets — I bet that barely covers the cost of materials. That must be for a reason.
I think having base stations not only increases price but also makes it unapproachable for a vast majority of people. Personally, I didn’t even consider the CV1 or the Index because I just didn’t have a room that could properly accommodate them. For the sitting use case, no-tower tracking is actually very suitable and probably works better.
even at ideal condition there is about 1~2ms latency(streaming 1080p game), while hitting 90hz requires 11ms frame time. so you are asking the game to at least perform at 111fps or above to function under said ideal condition. I think if some manufacturer can put together a chip set where they do the frame gen tech on the head set side, so the game just need to run at 60fps it would be a better option.(like PS VR ) Frame gen does require some other buffers to generate the in between frames, so that’s more info to stream over the bandwidth.
i don’t think they realize that the steam deck is just another PC with slightly lesser specs. sure it’s on par with consoles, but that doesn’t mean it’s treated like a console
this is sorta annoying. I hope they make another designator then for games that work but need to have low settings as playability is all I care about but I use the verified to decide what to put on it. Maybe like a playable tag.
I'm not sure if you're making fun of the playable tag or don't know it's a thing.
I don't actually look at the tags for the most part. Almost anything that doesn't have invasive anticheat can be made to work fine. But the idea behind verified/"great on deck" is for it to be a console like experience where the user doesn't need to do legwork for a good experience.
I actually did not know there was a playable tag. I will check it out. I know there were some mmo's that worked in wine but they would update and break it. Since they did not work on compatibility it could not work for long stretches. I guess what I would like is to know the devs are keeping an eye for a game on keeping it playable..
None of the tags are promises from the developer. Valve will make the determination without the publisher's involvement. Even verified games can just stop working.
There's a lot of verified games you need to tweak to get running how you want, developers can make a "Steam Deck" profile and enable it to be used at startup but not all do. Also many devs save your graphics settings on Steam cloud which is quite annoying since you constantly have to switch them between desktop and Steam Deck.
Oh man, the saving settings to Steam Cloud is awful. There is no reason for that, and it ruins the experience of seamlessly switching between PC and Steam Deck. That alone should be enough to disqualify a title from "Verified for Steam Deck".
They’ll merge it with yt shorts, then rename yt short to tiktok (new) then separate the two again and then shut down tiktok and 1 year later yt shorts as well.
While it’s pretty much guaranteed all tech giants will sell your data to China if the price is right, Bobby could give it away for free to the Taliban for shits and giggles.
I don’t trust TikTok, and I don’t trust Bobby. He’ll probably find a way to make it easier for people to steal breast milk or something. Perfect combo 10/10.
