Moving from the government to the church is really just moving from one giant organization to the other in a lot of ways. But yes, it’s outside of government so I guess you could say it counts.

Well it shouldn’t be surprising that someone who lives far away from everyone else doesn’t care much for other people.

Yes, but not one run by the government. It is the form of collectivism that rural people see and most conspicuously use, and hence why they don’t see the need for governments

I think it more comes down to the fact that if you live in a rural area, you have to have a very independent and individualistic mindset because you are so far away from things that you have to do most things yourself. This leads to a less collectivist mindset. Your main hub of society tends to be the nearest church, which is where you see the other people living nearby. Or maybe the bass pro shop or waffle house if you are near enough to one of those.

When you live in a city, you are about as deep in society as you can get, and you can quickly understand why we need to help each other because you see the results of not doing that all around you (mental illness, drug addicition, homelessness, etc.).

It’s not that one is right and the other wrong, it’s that they are life viewed from fundamentally different perspectives and needs.

This is huge and one of the reasons I moved to PieFed from Lemmy. I look forward to seeing this happen!

I’m glad there’s one person out there at least. Will you buy it though?

Who wants this?

Quest is definitely a great first intro. You will have lots of fun with it. I outgrew it unfortunately, but it’s still a great platform despite Meta digging its tendrils into it.

Yeah it’s true. I’m not sure I will be interested in another quest unless they can get PSVR2 level graphics, ie with some kind of external console. I think Valve may be more likely to be the first to pull this off but the price will probably be higher than I’m willing to pay.

If you’re using something like Bandcamp, the artists are already getting thousands of times the money you are giving them from listening on Spotify, I think it’s good enough. Even iTunes is thousands of times better.

Yeah there should really be more first party games for it. Unfortunately it was probably doomed to some extent from the start due to the price. It’s very hard to compete against quest’s subsidized pricing and scale, and I guess most people don’t care too much about having higher quality games.

Probably it’s the last VR headset I will buy until someone figures out how to bring PSVR2 or higher graphical fidelity without buying a whole gaming PC and covert a large portion of standard AAA games to VR. Quest isn’t good enough and PSVR2 won’t get enough support.

Yeah Veilguard is just a fun romp. Nothing too deep or meaningful, but just sort of a fun well paced refuge from everyday life.

There’s still a pretty good pipeline of games for PSVR2. Not sure how long it will last, but for now my biggest issue is waiting for prices to come down on some of those titles rather than the lack of titles I want to play.

At this point it’s just an excercise in “how many times can he get you idiots to fall for it”

I think a lot of them would be bad trip material. This one would probably be good though, especially on a big screen like a projector

The Brave Little Toaster was intense!

Zelda TOTK now that I finally have a Switch again. So good in 4k HDR.

Dragon’s age: Veilguard. Got this for free with PS Plus and was pleasantly surprised how fun it was despite the anti woke brigade review bombing it.

Moss 2: getting back into this VR game on PSVR2

Seriously, go ahead and try to give someone that shit. No one would be surprised I watch porn and I don’t do it in any sort of interesting way. I’m guessing no one would even want to watch it.

I mean I wouldn’t look at this as a laptop replacement, just something I could use that way in a pinch. Lots of clamshell phones in the early 2000’s had this layout and it worked pretty well.

If you really wanted to use this as a laptop much better to carry another little folding keyboard with you.
