Are we about to witness a second ascension of an already ascended?

seeing a random youtube recommendation telling me the deckard was out was um. not a fully lucid-seeming moment. Congrats. Iโ€™ll never get that sort of vr device (and honestly vr is just a lot of money for so few games), but Iโ€™m very happy valve is producing more hardware and i hope it sells well.

Could the vr industry become a bubble?

I think the metaverse saved vr. They tried, they really tried to make a bubble. It went absolutely belgiuming nowhere. The only reason we remember the metaverse is because facebook changed itโ€™s stupid name. I suspect people will not trust vr in the same radical way people trust AI, or people trusted NFTs or the metaverse, because they saw people wasting their time on the metaverse! No one every invested billions in AI and then lost it all, simply because no oneโ€™s invested billions in AI.

I think in the best future, one we almost certainly wonโ€™t get, vr will go the way of the dotcom bubble. no one invests in your project because it says .com, but they still expect to see a website, trust in ecommerce, etc. The dotcom bubble popped, but it still succeeded at every promise made, just not in tame, and not with such idiotic products. meta wonโ€™t make a metaverse, but gaming, corporate meetings,creative work, user interface design, whatever, could benefit.

will all that happen? likely no. likely it will be a niche subset of gaming and UI, but with more healthy competition to hopefully shoot down the monopolies, especially those in consoles.

I kind of have a feeling thereโ€™s been an awfully large amount of bubbles latelyโ€ฆ

How come you donโ€™t have ranks anymore? I canโ€™t see โ€œspacefaringโ€ next to your name.

Last night, I dreamed that I had my hands on all three devices. One can only tell how much power that wouldโ€™ve given me.

Same here, also canโ€™t see the rank with people like nigel or Rathalos. Suspiciousโ€ฆ

Me too! Is it just a bug?

Most probably, though itโ€™s a too minor one for an immediate fix to be seeked for it ASAP I guess.

Kinda funny, how [FORBIDDEN] became one of @blackjacksikeโ€™s core forum personality traits xD


Also, I canโ€™t see @Evolution4Weakโ€™s rank as well.

What does that even mean?


I canโ€™t have the Deckard right now, but still, it came out as I predicted. @hhyyrylainen, I ask that I should be given a new title next to my name. โ€œChampion of the Deckardโ€. That shall be it.

In other words, instead of being โ€œVIP Supporterโ€, I can be โ€œChampion of the Deckardโ€.

EDIT: Nevermind, I managed to make it fancier.

Looks like it was an update to some Discourse CSS classes for people with somehow now a โ€œfirst full-nameโ€ and no โ€œusernameโ€ listed in their posts. So I adjusted the badge rules and now they should appear for both cases (as some users still do have a โ€œusernameโ€ field).

Wasnโ€™t that a different time when you were promised the title? This time you were right but I donโ€™t remember anyone saying that if the Deckard was announced this week you would have won.

Well he already managed to claim his pride with the editable regular flair I guess. No need to be a โ€œdouble championโ€โ€ฆ

We can put custom font text as our regular flairs?
