Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesThere is absolutely no hate at all. You didn't get what the poet wanted to say. It's just an honest opinion of someone who had VR and that's all. Before you try it you think that it most be something amazing. In reality it's not worth bothering with. I honestly doubt that there are people out there who only play the VR games.

I think VR is just not something the majority of consumers are interested in. My local specialty computer store used to have a prominent VR demo area, but I noticed that customers were showing less and less interest over time until it was eventually removed about a year ago and replaced with a multi-screen racing cockpit. I've also noticed that their stock of VR headsets has shrunk dramatically.

I suppose Valve thinks that Half-Life VR could be the "killer app" that will finally get a critical mass of gamers to buy into the tech, but I have my doubts.

I saw the words "Half-Life" and I got excited. Then I saw "VR" and stopped caring.

Are they trying to fail?

Quoting: BotonoskiLast thing I want is another Chromium-based browser.
Nothing wrong with Chromium but, you know, it's a bad idea to let the code we use to access the internet homogenize like this.
I say that... but at least it's open source, perhaps similar arguments could be levied against the linux kernel, maybe Chromium is just a real damn good base to work off of, and maybe building a browser from scratch these days compatible with all the popular sites is unfeasible.
Talking about this subject makes me miss the wild west times of the internet, now every time I open my browser I feel like I'm entering the line at a McDonalds rather than having an adventure.

I, for one, do not miss the days of "This website was designed for Internet Explorer".

Quoting: ThormackInteresting,

They should start Linux stuff from the basics.
What about support Ext4 partitions on Windows?

Remember the good ol' days when the Windows installer would seek-and-destroy any non-Windows filesystems? Of course Microsoft claimed it was a "bug".

Quoting: Mountain ManI give them credit for at least including an ad blocker, but without being able to install third-party extensions not controlled by Microsoft, there's no way to stop them from hoovering up your personal data and browsing habits. No thank you.

From what they said, you should be able to install any Chromium extension it was even mentioned that you could get them from the Chrome store too.

Yes, but not on Android, and I like having the same browser across all three platforms that I use -- Linux, Android, and Windows (my job requires Windows or else I'd never touch it).

No thanks. I'll stick with Firefox, partly because I don't trust Microsoft, but mainly because it's the only browser for Android that supports extensions, and I consider at least uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and HTTPS Everywhere to be indispensable for privacy and security. I looked at Edge on Android, and it at least has Adblock Plus as a standard feature, but it's disabled by default, and when you enable it, you have to be sure to turn off "acceptable ads" as well, which is an option hidden in the "Advanced Features" menu.

A pretty safe giveaway for Paradox since this was one of the better early expansion packs, and the majority of CK2 players already own it.

I have a feeling that CK3 is going to feel pretty thin content wise compared to CK2 with its many expansions and years of active development. Probably a good idea to wait a couple of years for them to flesh it out. In the meantime, maybe I'll finally be able to finish a complete game of CK2 without a big update being released forcing me to restart!

Quoting: EhvisYou're talking about an unreleased product. For now it's all hype.

He's definitely strayed into shill territory.
