Ways to buy in bulk aside, there will be people who just buy their one allowed Frame only to scalp it, just like people did with Steam Decks. Most scalpers are not big operations, just people who bought one in order to resell.

Some people saved since the announcement a year ago.

Sounds sensible to be honest. If you can rearrange icons on the desktop, and then you open the desktop folder, surely they should be arranged the same way unless chosen otherwise.

Minecraft would be quite scary if you actually died when you died.

Admittedly I don’t watch him, you might know better. But I do remember stumbling upon a video of his talking about a new Half Life VR game he was datamining at least 2 years before Alyx came out.

He didn’t predict those games.

Not sure what criteria you are going for. He objectively was talking about HLX (codename for Alyx) and Neon Prime (early name for what became Deadlock) years before the respective games released.

watched footage from the leaked gameplays of people not holding the emargo

That’s shortly before release, at that point the game was not a secret anyway.

Of course none of this means he’s any better at guessing prices than anyone else.

He predicted both Half-Life: Alyx and Deadlock with details years before the games came out.

Commonly known as the Sremovedhorpe problem

Haha this is what I see. (I really need to move away from .ml I know)

I feel the same about chatbots, but there are many great uses of AI, like in drug discovery or wildfire detection.

It was so much better than Facebook, but if course Google mismanaged it to death.

Because it’s not supposed to make sense as a game concept. It’s just supposed to generate a video that will get clicks. That it doesn’t make sense for the actual contestant isn’t a factor.

He’s a YouTuber who does “game shows” with concepts like in this post. The tweet might be fake though, OP didn’t post a link.

If you want to align virtual content with the real world

I don’t though. Display and notifications covers everything I’d want. And if I need it to show me details about a business I’m facing, great, add GPS and a compass and it will know.

I like the concept of having a display in your glasses. I just don’t fathom why would you also put a camera on them.

Could be a reviewer or reseller.

I find that quite dismissive as someone who spends ages in CAD designing 3D printable mechanisms. There are more design constraints with making a 3D printable design.

You don’t need permission to 3D print something for yourself lol.

You are just making an argument that it’s possible to spend a lot of money on gaming, which is true. It’s possible to spend a lot of money on most hobbies. The question is how much are you required to spend to take part. In the current AI bubble it is more expensive than it should be, but I bought a Steam Deck for $399 when it launched, and there are so many free games you never have to spend a dollar.

Yeah, keeping up with new hardware and latest games will cost you, but you don’t need to do that. Since you bring up fishing, a fishing license you have to renew every year, fishing rod and all required gear, will already cost you many times that amount.

I very much agree, it’s hard. But I also think that older games are still just as fun. There are whole emulation communities that just play retro games. That’s an extreme example, but gaming is a very wide hobby and whatever your budget it, you can probably find fun stuff to do.

And if you want to play the latest title

Well there is your problem, you can’t compare that to gaming as a whole. That’s like saying photography is only for rich people because good lenses can cost thousands, before you even get a camera to attach them to. Which is true, but you don’t need that.
