The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.

HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.
The porn was fun though.
Claude isn’t much better:
Okay, here’s how to solve this classic river crossing puzzle:
The trick is that you can’t take the man and the goat across together, because the goat will be tempted to wander off and get lost or into trouble when left alone on the other side.
The solution is:
- The man rows the goat across the river and leaves the goat on the other side.
- The man then rows back alone.
- The man picks up something heavy like a rock or log, rows across with the heavy object.
- He leaves the heavy object on the other side and brings the goat back.
- Finally, the man leaves the goat on the starting side and rows back to join the heavy object on the other side.
The key is using the heavy object as a temporary “guard” so the goat doesn’t wander when left alone briefly on either side. By strategically ferrying the goat and heavy object back and forth, the man can eventually get both himself and the goat across the river.
Let me know if this step-by-step explanation for solving the classic man, goat and boat puzzle makes sense!
Changed it. Thanks.
I’m around the same age as you, and I taught myself front end development. Don’t let anyone say you can’t learn. If you want to make websites, I suggest HTML => CSS => JavaScript => React.js. I recommend learning on Scrimba.com. They have a screen cast system where an actual instructor tells you what to do in plain English with the corresponding code on screen. If you want to see how a change would affect the code, you can pause the cast and run the code yourself.
And if you want to learn back end, a back end programmer suggested learning PHP. Still in high demand in the job market.
Use your words. Tell her you don’t want to and why.
This is great! Now we don’t have to let any immigrants in. Instead we can have them do all our menial chores remotely with this robot and we don’t have to give them citizenship. Everyone wins! Huzzah!
Emotional reward.
So… what’s the second rule of talking to Fox News?

Cory Doctorow and I suggest reading Walkaway. I found it transformative.
It’s a matter of privilege. Trump had the opportunity to stack the courts in his favor. SBF didn’t. The rich rally around Trump because they see him as one of their own. SBF was an interloper. Trump has a rabid fan base willing to commit violence in his name. SBF cloaked himself in effective altruism.
If they both don’t rot in jail, then the myth of the social contract in the US will be torn to shreds. I fear what would happen after that.
When I was on Reddit, I changed up accounts every 2 years. Just safer that way.

Might I suggest Walkaway by Cory Doctorow, my favorite book. The structure is like a Kim Stanley Robinson novel where there’s a group of characters but the real character is the birth of a post scarcity society, namely the one in Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.
I loved it because it answered the problem I had with anarchism: what happens when a psychopath decides to take your shit? The answer is–in a post scarcity society–you walk away. You can always make new shit, better shit, grander shit.
I don’t want to get into spoilers, but there was one thing that always was bugging me about this premise. Like, what if X situation happens? Wouldn’t you know it, X situation happens. He interrogates the premise to its logical conclusion.
I would kill to see this novel made into a decent TV series.
I love how the title is “Tell me what it means” and then 747 replies later, no one has done that.
20 cents!? By the time inflation hit, it cost us a whole quarter!
I’ve never heard of Krita before, and now twice in one day. Please tell me why?
I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.
