I almost quit Nier Automata immediately, because the game opens right off the bat with a very long interactive cutscene with gameplay elements which you cannot pause or skip, and during which you cannot save.

And if you die you have to do it all over from the beginning

Fortunately that turned out to be the worst part of the game for me, and I enjoyed the rest of it.

Transferred demand.

SDDs and HDDs are too expensive, so people are using SD cards instead.

Let’s say they removed the onboard capability, and doing so halved the price.

You’re then left with a device which costs basically the same as a Quest 3 but also requires a PC to do anything. I’m pretty sure that would be reviewed a heck of a lot worse than even the current situation is.

A self-contained unit that matched the Quest and wins on not price but privacy was the only reasonable direction for Valve here.

Yes but only in Chromium-based browsers as only those support the direct USB connection to the device.

When I fly long distance I always make the effort to go in the (plane) bathroom and freshen up, brush my hair and such before I get there because I feel I get less hassle from immigration when in looking fresh as opposed to when I’m a red-eyed mess.

Despite the fact it should be perfectly expected for people to look like shit after a long-haul flight.

As you say, It’s just human bias and people are affected by their biases even in roles where they should try not to be.

The Matrix.

Not sure how that isn’t mentioned yet!

First movie was a masterpiece that became a classic, the rest were completely unnecessary.

When my brother showed The Matrix to his kid, she asked “Is there another one?” and he said “No.”

On a side-note, old GPU box artwork was a wild genre
