I recently read a story here about someone spending a significant portion of their yearly income on a Fate game in Japan. I think it might be a mistake to assume that the only whales are rich.

A few times a few at least, and that’s only counting extermination in the KZ’s and VZ’s. If you consider the total casualties of the war, including combat deaths (even German) and civilian casualties outside of the camps, it’s more in the realm of 50-80 million. Subtract 3-5 million for the Pacific theater, and it’s still a lot.

It also doesn’t help that neo-Nazis work today under the same banner.

“Eventually” is quite the weasel word in this context. Yes, eventually it will, for values of eventually which may exceed the average human lifespan.

This is arguing dishonestly, as you presumably understand the difference between using examples to illustrate a principle, and a direct comparison. Why not just address the point, instead of being “outraged” by his presentation?

I’m not sure, but I think you just tried to compare the technological platforms of VR/AR with virtual cat trading for money on existing platforms? I’m not even getting into the huge amounts of time, money, and hard work that’s gone into VR/AR, because as far as I can tell you just compared apples and bricks.

Too soon for info, too soon to say anything of substance. It might be better if this were not here at all until more is known. In a vacuum, online, things tend to devolve.

Sorry to say that MAgic Leap’s only relation to light fields is in their marketing and now defunct patents. Their actual product apppears to be a less impressive early Hololens.

That sounds about right. Reddit just isn’t a fun place to be, and hasn’t been for years. I’m not sure what the value proposition is for Reddit anymore, other than for the owners of Reddit.

I stopped using Reddit a while ago when it became clear that they had a pretty adversarial relationship with their users. Their moderation is terrible, the community ranges from unpleasant and repetitive to downright toxic, the content is better found elsewhere, and the administration is incompetent and amoral at best.

I’ve never once felt like I missed out on something by eschewing Reddit, and every time I check to see if it’s changed for the better it is markedly worse. Reddit, Imgur, Instagram, Facebook, are just bad places to be. There are a couple of good subreddits to read occasionally, like askhistorians, but you don’t need an account to read it. Actually participating gets old, fast.

Responsibility is hard, and most people are machines designed to find paths of least resistance.

You know how it goes, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

It’s all over this place, regrettably.
