Maybe look at the actual data before posting something that is 100% wrong:

Ivermectin is what the vaccines claim to be: safe and effective.

Ivermectine is very safe and effective for treating COVID:

Anyone saying otherwise isn't following the science and is pushing an agenda. Cui bono. COVID has given governments and pharmaceuticals the biggest blank check since 9/11 and they're more than happy to let people die to keep that gravy train going.

Hopefully it doesn't become a literal fulfillment of Proverbs 16:18....

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

Everyone should watch that before voting, and regularly thereafter.

That kind of atrocity cannot come from limited, principled, constitutional governments. Proper government is founded on unchanging principles of liberty, empowers the people through a level playing field, has blind justice and free speech, prosecutes corruption, and is transparent.

That kind of atrocity is the ultimate outcome of progressive, socialist, communist governments. Big centralized governments divide people, create classes, foment hatred towards one group or another, disarm citizens, micromanage everything, do things in the name of the "greater good", use every crisis (including ones they manufacture) as excuses to move their agenda forward, and are full of corruption and secrecy.

Unfortunately with the help of companies like Facebook the world is storming headlong towards the latter, and is canceling anyone who supports the former.

Since using DuckDuckGo for 10 seconds is apparently too hard: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory...

It isn't misinformation. It's true. It's just inconvenient and doesn't fit the narrative, so CNN et al of course never mentioned it.

And a much bigger part of this is the fact that all we have now are HUGE meat processing plants because the government forces processing plants to pay for a full time FDA employee to be on site to oversee things and gum up the works, which small processing plants can't afford. So we have 4 main companies doing almost all of the processing. This is the supply chain version of the potato famine due to focusing on only 4 varieties of potato. The solution is simple: PRIME Act (H.R. 3187), which says a meat processing plant in Montana, that processes meat grown in Montana for sale to Montana business is outside the purview and oversight of the FDA or other federal regulators and is an interstate issue. Plain and simple. Let Montana do what's best for Montana (and other states do what is best for them).

Let me know your high score playing Beat Saber with your keyboard and mouse...

I 100% agree! I'm in the process of 3D printing parts to put 4 fans (2 above, 2 below, 40mm, 5v) blowing on my face (where it isn't covered by the headset) to try to compensate. I think that may be better than internal air movement, because drying out your eyes would be a real problem. I can see a headset (or aftermarket cover) coming out that actively cools the part that touches your face and the air inside (possibly with limited airflow, even if it just turns on a fan for 3 seconds out of every 60 to avoid drying out the eyes). Heat and sweat are probably the biggest challenges facing VR right now, even more than higher resolution, screen door effect (doesn't bother me), or FOV. Making the headsets lighter would be nice, too.

If by "for most people" you mean the majority of the nearly 8 billion people on the earth, I think you're absolutely correct.

If you mean VR is never going to catch on, is going to fizzle, etc, I completely disagree.

The equipment (I have the Oculus Quest) is usable now and will only get better. Nothing about it makes me deaf, and it hasn't bothered my eyes at all. It feels pretty natural, actually. Some games do make me motion sick, but when you feel it coming on you stop. The Quest only requires 6.5' x 6.5' and can work anywhere (no external sensors or TV required). And I like the fact that it gets me away from the desk and off the couch. That's the point for me and many others. VR fitness is awesome (Beat Saber and other rhythm-based games, boxing games, etc). Sorry, but all of your objections / "obstacles" sound like they are from a position of ignorance and are 10 years old.

Several VR games have now gone platinum (over 1 million copies sold) and Beat Saber (platinum) was on the Steam top seller list all of last year. Half-Life Alyx is VR only. The Half-Life game that most of the gaming world has been waiting for for years is VR only. Valve isn't doing that because they think VR is going away. They're placing a very big bet on VR, and it's going to pay off. Nintendo Virtual Boy and all that were way too soon, but the technology has caught up. The confluence of hardware and software is right. Virtual Boy, Google Glass, etc were too early and were clunky. VR as it stands right now is good enough to keep me using it indefinitely, but it will get much better, and that progress and corresponding market growth will come fairly quickly.

Funny. No, I work from home for a small company. I don't have a Facebook account, either. I bought an Oculus Quest several months ago and really like it. That's it. The YouTube videos "A Love Letter to Beat Saber" (not by me) and "How Beat Saber Improved my Life (Beyond Weight Loss)" (also not by me) sum up my experience pretty well. I don't work for YouTube or Google either (or any other big tech company), I just have an Oculus Quest and like it.

The Oculus Quest is stand alone. No computer, no external sensors, no TV, etc. And there are hundreds of games and apps you can sideload for free using SideQuest, so for $399 you don't need anything else but electricity. It isn't for everyone, and it isn't for everything (or every game). But it's definitely a "don't knock it 'til you've tried it" type thing. With one exception everyone I've shown it to has really liked it. It isn't PC gaming, it's a different experience. They aren't mutually exclusive, you can still do both.

The same could be said of literally every product on earth. Every product has large amounts of people that aren't interested in it. That doesn't mean it's flawed or doomed. I'm fine if VR isn't for you, but that doesn't mean it's going away. VR is clearly in it's infancy (think 3D printing 15 years ago), but it's growing by leaps and bounds (in technology, content, options, and user base). It's here to stay and just getting started.

That is a problem, for sure. I put a silicone cover on my Quest to keep it sanitary, but it makes you sweat more. Keep a towel or baby wipes close by, for sure. I think this problem will be minimized over time as the headsets become small and as they come down in price. Eventually it will get to the point that they're cheap enough that each person can have their own mask that will be smaller, lighter, and less obtrusive.

The goggles do isolate you, but some of that can be overcome by casting what you're seeing to a TV. And there are games that involve the other people in the room, like "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" and "Acron". But most of the value I personally get out of VR (Oculus Quest) is individual anyway, particularly Beat Saber. I also enjoy watching my family play on it. Watching my 6 year old beat an Expert Beat Saber level is a riot.

The writer must be living on a different planet than I am. I got an Oculus Quest a few months ago and love it. So does my family. So does almost everyone I've shown it to. It's $400 plus another $100 to get a handful of good games. That isn't that expensive. I'd say 2020 is the year of VR, not the year to ask what went wrong with it. Something tells me this article isn't going to age very well...
