I was going to say that.
Older I get and less I want to use such devices, it’s really alienating. And don’t forget the all subscribe/telemetric/closed ecosystem. nope
I could totally play a VR game sometime but not making a lifestyle of it.
Yup, I agree. I’m conflicted. 7-8 years ago if you showed me this, I would be all over it. Maybe it’s the age, but I am now more cynical, I guess.
Sure, I work in tech and I do get excited at every new piece of hardware or software… and would love to try it out, but there’s a part of me which wants to stay away.
I feel like at some point I should stop from losing myself further into the “online” world and try to embrace the “real” world if you will, even though that’s easier said than done.
Yeah this is exactly how I feel. I love VR for the purpose of gaming, video content, and social applications. All the attempts to make people live their day to day lives in VR that these corporations keep pushing are disturbing to say the least of the matter.
A bit dystopian tbh. But that’s our future, I guess.

The part where the father was cooking and playing with his child with the headset was quite disturbing.

Yeah, I was torn between how cool it looked (albeit expensive) VS how it felt like black mirror was closer to being a reality
