Sure - the primary strikes against the Quest 3 are the absolutely egregious privacy concerns, and the closed ecosystem. If neither of those are dealbreakers for you, go get one.

What you seem to be saying is that you want to pay an entry-level price for an enthusiast tier device, and like… yeah, we all would, but we don’t realistically expect anyone to sell it to us for that price.

It’s more the absolutely egregious privacy concerns than anything else. They’re selling them at a loss because they make up the difference by selling your data, and the data they collect is unreal.

If you wouldn’t pay $500, then VR just isn’t for you. And that’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with that, but that’s basically the baseline bottom of the barrel price for this type of device (and the ones priced like that come with a LOT of caveats), so if you wouldn’t pay that price, why are you even part of the discussion? You were never the target audience in the first place.

Obviously it’s Ding Dong Dash.

It’s timestamped, skip to what you care about?

Edit: Here, I’ll save you even that amount of effort. Battery Life Benchmarks (4 minutes, 30 seconds)

Gamers Nexus has a pretty comprehensive review that covers both streaming and standalone play. Battery life is not particularly favorable but overall the sentiment is positive.

Sure would be a shame if concert-goers elected to boycott the venues that rejected a performer on those grounds.

Maybe there’s a desk just out of frame, and when she’s sitting at the desk, it’s facing her.

From a pure practicality-for-the-comic standpoint, having it oriented the way it does lets us clearly see the cord from the handset leading to the phone - not that that’s super important, but it maybe helps with clarity?

It’s not a shitpost, but it sure is a shit post.

I love Fancy Cok

Probably 6000 messages from Nicole, the fediverse chick.

She is about to get hit by that ship and probably die!

Yeah, this feels like it should be illegal.

Boy, do I love bat characters drawn with real-world style wings. Love it!

That bird is strangely satisfied by the whole thing. Definitely smiling. I know where I’d start looking for the perpetrator.

A lot of folks use grocery delivery services, and the people fulfilling those orders are often unlikely to care enough to be diligent. If it’s on your list, they’ll get it.

ct is Count, most likely. It’s possible it’s a mistake; it’s also possible that they’re hoping people who don’t have the card will see $3.99 and miss the ‘price with card’ note, and not check the price when they check out.

Ah yes, Palico cubs learning the ropes.
