The two things that are “worse” are that it uses inside out tracking and WiFi 7 for streaming from a pc instead of using base stations and a tether cable. The displays and optics are both straight upgrades and honestly having used a quest 3 I think the inside out tracking and wireless connection are really important for room scale QOL. I imagine the tradeoffs for ease of setup and portability are probably worth it. You’re probably losing sub millimeter precision and a couple milliseconds of latency at most. The unit also weighs like half as much as the Index, and neck strain is real.

tl;Dr yes but also no, it depends who you ask

i was scared for a moment that that would be a screenshot of my profile

Edit: with added context, ew, I rescind my self deprecating joke. i don’t hate myself enough to compare myself to that

damn perhaps we should do something about the underlying socioeconomic problems that cause homelessness and antisocial behavior. No? just shuffle them around some more? oh, okay.

I believe your faith is misplaced but I appreciate your kind words all the same

boba deez

Science can be a bummer sometimes

i kinda suck tbqh

Definitely tell them. You would want someone to tell you.

you know what? you’re right, I really shouldn’t be browsing Lemmy at work

He can’t play PoE2 either

Dear Lord, please grant me this level of pettiness and the presence of mind to wield that pettiness only against those who deserve it. Amen.

Interestingly I fill the same niche here as I did in the IRL BH ward, which is checking in voluntarily for personal reasons and realizing that I am fairly sane, comparatively speaking, and probably could have saved a lot of money by just taking a vacation before I burned out.

please donate to “teaching cats to read.” Every day, thousands of our four legged friends take unnecessary tumbles that could be avoided if they could understand human signs. Join us in creating a world free of feline slip-and-fall injuries. And also a world where Garfield finally learns “who that’s for”

I like that idea, it’s very human.

Love the detail of the toothpick breaking under the strain

Toast is great. I wish I knew who first had the thought to cook bread twice. Did they want more crust? Were they trying to make bread last longer? What was their favorite kind of bread? Did they come up with putting butter on it or was that an innovation from a second, even more brilliant mind? I have so many questions to ask them, I hope the afterlife is real

New incredibly niche conspiracy theory just dropped

Simply unalign yourself from the 3d plane and peer through the inter dimensional fence. When a being of 3+n dimensions (where n>1) passes by, ask them if you may see the list of all tesseracts in existence. Prepare for a lot of rejection, most higher-dimensional beings are dickbags who don’t respect us. Be sure to wear goggles or they’ll try to spit on you, and believe you me you do not want 5d saliva in your cranial cavity.

Also, the tesseract list is very long but simultaneously compressed into a single point, so the only way to read it is all at once. Be ready for that. You might want to call ahead to nearby inpatient psychiatric services and tell them you’re about to go quite mad.

Not anymore you dont

Ah yes, but our wetnurse is squeamish. Best that we do not trade hands, seems like dreadful business.
