Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

okay
I guess I would try this out for the novelty but honestly for a full body experience I'd prefer a BCI.
i've heard brines referred to as "wet cures"
generally i brine chicken before i fry or roast it, but i got into dry cures a few months ago and did a dry cured chicken. salt + brown sugar + black pepper + a little pink salt.
i cut it really thin and hard-fried it and then cooked in into some rice with veggies.
was really good but didn't taste like chicken anymore, really.
should make it a hind
don't hear about hinds much these days
You can interact with terrestrial settings when you land on planets or inside ships, it's just not the main focus of the game.
And probably one of the things to be placed in a barebones to functional state at launch and then polished over time.
new game+ maybe
Man you can play the guitar and I know you've got the tendon thing going but I saw your video of you playing the piano and you are amazing and causing me jealousy.
Also I am late getting back because I saw you posting about music and had to leave to play Tina.
So uh, yeah. Your fault, really!
But that's all kinds of lifetimes away yet.
It scares the shit out of me, sure
There is a day coming soon where we can defeat an alien menace in a virtual world to rescue some broad and then have virtual victory sex

You'd want to interact with real human minds but you could make your body look like whatever and if the tactile feedback is good enough, feel like whatever
Virtual sex overtaking real, messy, dangerous sex with uggos
You guys, you guys.
The Universe is just, like, so BIG man.
And we're just, like, tiny insignificant specks. We're fucking DOTS, man.
I have more than on train of thought, I swear.
I wish that wasn't enough to earn a thread in G&T, I got so excited.
The trees sound pretty though.
I bought Heroes 6 via steam a while back. It's pretty good. But I haven't been able to play it in months because uplay somehow fucked up and got it associated to a different account from my normal uplay account. And that other phantom account has no email address (which should be impossible) and so I can't request a password reset on it either.
going through another round of emails with their tech support people.
Kind of like the movie Surrogates, just, with less political intrigue and shooting.
The game doesn't currently include seamless atmospheric re-entry and departure. The way planets will work doesn't seem very fleshed out either. I'd compare it to being able to explore the space ports that you'd land on in Freelancer. The game is also going to have instancing planetside to handle player counts!
That doesn't come anywhere close to realizing the Rift's potential for immersion and interactivity.
Everyone references this and I still haven't consumed it.
Also the trans men simulation will involve a lot of shooting I assure you.

There was some research done where they grafted additional limbs to people - virtually - to see how they adapted. Apparently people got used to it amazingly quickly.
The other one was they set it up so you had a literal 3rd person perspective of yourself.
I'm really curious if we'll see an uptick in demand for non-violent photorealistic games though as a result of VR. We already are hitting the uncanny valley for a lot of stuff in that sense, but with serious immersion I'm thinking a lot of people are going to end up just wanting to go wandering through impossible forests and stuff.

it is a very forgettable movie. not exactly bad but mind numbingly mediocre.
it's so good
Memory is only getting cheaper.
when I am p sure it's okay, I like to call ladies "toots"

Brains are awesome.
It is such a vintage sexist term
I don't even know what etymologically renders it sexist
But I know I can't call my boss a broad
Deal with it
Okay
Sleep momentarily
I want to ask my cat if he is enjoying being alive and he is just kinda lying there looking at me.
I have only had one I cannot rightly compare them!
Sarksus, the more I read about your responses to MMOs, Wildstar housing, Star Citizen terrestrial stuff, the more I wonder aloud if the game you want can be created in the next decade at a reasonable price point and time frame without drastically limiting the scope and scale of all the other things that would make the experience you describe meaningful past "Oh look I can walk around this planet in my Oculus Rift look at all the pretty rocks".
I would love to have the kind of stuff the Rift is potentially capable of creating, but I also acknowledge that it's new tech just like all VR stuff is, and that devs are only barely scratching the surface with the kind of stuff available right now that can handle it. Star Citizen is going to take a long time and a lot of money to make and is explicitly creating a game with the Rift in mind from the get go; how many other studios have the time, funding, vision and consumer confidence to do something like that right now in the middle of a console generation transition when all the biggest names are more worried about catering to consoles and iOS for the bottom line?
It's going to take a while yet for this to really become something that gets done right the way we want and I am willing to take what I can get now just to use the damn thing.
Almost definitely! Exploring existing fictional worlds, exploring new ones, creating your own, etc.
Imagine a photorealistic minecraft experience
Just the act of moving around a space would be fascinating
Flying in the simulation would be great
Racing games would be baller! But you'd need a whole new setup.
