Aces High General Discussion / Re: Replacing VR Set

« Last post by Randy1 on Yesterday at 01:56:15 PM »

ZE, the most common VR today is Quest 3.  You will most likely have to buy optional equipment for extended use time and or comfort.

More expensive is the Pimax Crystal light.  Glass lenses, poor audio but better clarity.  Has been know to  have QC issues at times.  Look at the below post on AH.

I have not heard of anyone on AH using the PC PSVR2 by Playstation.  You have to buy a separate PC adaptor, I think.  Better color but falls short of the quest 3 and Pimax in clarity.

All of these will be an upgrade to the Rift S.

I was getting ready to buy a new VR as well but a couple skin cancer removal on my head has postponed that for a couple of weeks.

Quest 3 is going on sale.  Pimax has a couple of bundled packages.  Good time to buy during black Friday sales

The AI bubble is about to burst, which will require a bailout.

Problem is AI has not proven to make a profit, nor prove it will do as claimed. So bailout may not happen, instead dog eat dog out of the way. Bu then our money is giving away every day that doesn’t help the people.

Elon was giving a speech saying AI and robotics will make us humans work 2 days a week.  I figured out the financing on this concept.  AI and robots will be the newest taxpayers.  They will fund us carbon units a life of luxury.

Well I take all Elon says with a grain of salt.

But I will say my Roborock and Mammotion robots save me at least two days of work a week.

Gravity was sorely lacking in the physics department. You don't have two non thrusting objects in the same orbit going different speeds. You can have two different orbits that intersect at a point but that's not what they did.

Do some docking with two spacecraft in KSP and you'll understand.

I don't think there was enough critical mass in regards to pilots so they ended up shooting the available targets - GV's.

If there are sufficient anti-air gv's enabled then its more fair, imho, moreso if bombs are disabled.

I have no issues with the planes straffing, since they can't really hurt tanks.

But fundamentally, there weren't enough pilots/players to dilute the impact of planes as you hoped - not a reason to give up, tho'.

Hail Mary should've been the title of the George Clooney/ Sandra Bullock film Gravity.  That was the best series of Hail Marys used for a film.

I never read the book but look forward to the film next year.

Yeah.  Everyone raved on that movie.  It was OK.

won't matter where the AI databases are located to most ..

You will find it to matter quite a bit when they can break into any of your bank\investment accounts and the nuclear codes.
