  • I have a general dislike of Facebook which has kept me away from their headsets, however this actually seems like a great idea.

    Wearing a computer on your face instead of on your back has been one of the most asinine design choices of standalone vr. Comfort issues from putting weight on your neck while you’re expected to look around, the headset jostling around because of the momentum of the weight, the heat buildup from having both the screen and the computation on your face. Trying to solve these hurdles by making the computer itself more lightweight and cool has probably had other tradeoffs, likely regarding performance.








  • I decided to see what would be made following your prompt. Here’s the image.

    Seems decent. Doesn’t really have the warmth of a home, but that’s more on the prompt specifying house without further detail. I took it a step further and told it to add a couch and a lamp like in the logo in the op.

    I definitely prefer the freelancer one but I don’t think it’s bad. Certainly better than the logo in the op lmao.

    Edit: given where I am I should probably specify I think it’s not bad compared to the trash fire that is the ai logo in the op. Design wise it’s very lazy and looks like someone threw in a pair of icons from an icon pack into a house in a generic way. The two assets in the house do not feel like they exist within the same space.



  • These seem to be the four major points:

    clear and transparent pricing and pre-contractual information;
    avoiding practices hiding the costs of in-game digital content and services, as well as practices forcing consumers to purchase virtual currency;
    respect of consumers' right of withdrawal;
    respecting consumer vulnerabilities, in particular when it comes to children;
    

    First one actually seems pretty well covered by Warframe already. Second point can be met just by displaying the real currency price next to the plat price, calculated based on what people on average give per plat when purchasing through the Warframe website. Third point… Yeah that’s going to be a point of contention for sure. That’ll require a redesign of the plat system. Fourth point I’d also say Warframe does. Their ‘oh shit’ moment when they ended up creating a slot machine with, what was it, kubrow skins? Demonstrates them actually caring about this already. Basically they saw people interacting with a new mechanic much like one would a slot machine, and then soon after rolled it back and refunded everyone who had spent money on it.


  • I’m not quite following. From my recollection meta ethics deal with the origins of morality, with absolutism being that morality is as inherent to nature as, say, gravity is, and relativism that morality is a social construct we have made up.

    Is it hypocrisy to acknowledge something is a social construct while also strongly believing in it?

    If I grew up in the 1400s I’d probably hold beliefs more aligned with the values of the time. I prefer modern values because I grew up in modern society. I find these values superior but also acknowledge my reason for finding them superior ultimately boils down to the sheer random chance of when and where I was born.
