Sad but true. We need an awakening.
It only looks grim if you're not wearing your VR headset.

In VR?
>>53903826
inb4 normies ban or limit the use of VR because it disrupts the socialozation
>>53903859
Kek
>>53903750
i already know it, people will abuse VR and besides we are slowly drifting to a cyberpunk reality i'm both happy and afraid of what common people will do with this technology, i don't think we are still ready....
>>53903750
>oh no, everybody will be in VR and no one will interact with me
>I should move to Mars, where there will also be nobody interacting with me
what is the reason
>>53903877
Normalfags will, don't even doubt it.
Those believing they'll actually get to buy their chinese cartoon sex sims once it cheapens are in for a rude awakening

Memes aside we all know the world is shit already, or we wouldn't want to escape to virtual worlds in the first place.
The world is unfixable, humans have tried to implement their utopias for centuries, and it never lasts if it even gets to that point.
Might as well escape somewhere I can enjoy, regardless of its reality.

Not all of us do.
The ones that do are basically the shitty part of humanity. The people who only strive for shit that gives instant gratification: Food, games, porn etc. To those people the VR fantasy may sound great, but to the rest it just sounds like an absurd waste of time.
>>53905240
I don't know man, I like building things, and we need VR before we get decent AR, I'm waiting for that.

On what basis are you dismissing this lifestyle as ‘shitty’?
How do you know they aren't enjoying life more than you are?
>>53905240

Heard /b/ became shit these days, people started changing boards.

I cringe every time
At least he isn't loudly talking about video games to his friend on a quiet 6AM commute like the one asshole on my bus
Just ordered Samsung gear vr today, I figure it's only $100, and considering I've never tried ANY of the VR tech of today, at the very least, this would be a nice demo, and at a minimum a better way of watching movies, since I watch them on my phone anyways.
Opinions? Does anyone else here own this shit?

Dude, you don't buy a double tall mocha frappacino for your VR Waifu?
>>53908493
I buy one medium black coffee and if my gf isnt being a bitch she can have a sip or two.
>>53908492
Just wait until VR explodes in porn industry and among normies.
>>53907510

What if I told you that you are already living inside a simulation generated by your brain, a simulation consisting of a tiny slice of the electromagnetic spectrum interpreted by primitive meat scanning for good things to fuck and eat?

>>53904103
People just used to abuse booze instead.
What dumb normies don't realize is that ALL addictive behavior is a traumatized animal response to the unnatural pressures of civilization.
Food, booze, heroin, coke, VR waifu porn, it's all just a compulsive numbing behavior to deaden away the fact that you are working 40hrs/wk in a cube.
VR as escapism is nothing new. There was booze, drugs, porn, film, TV, etc. look at mobile phones. Even normies are always on their phones, most people freak out if they don't have access to their phone for an extended period of time. VR and Matrix-style uploading are just the logical conclusion of humanity. We invent and consume things to make us forget how shitty real life is, this is true regardless of what generation you were born.

Normies will never wear that bulky antisocial shit, maybe later iterations that don't make them look like a complete tool.
>>53910569
>thinking normies won't buy into antisocial things
They're always looking down at their devices
>thinking they don't like bulky things
While the oldest phones were huge, they moved from the small old cellphones to these huger smartphones, and actually want them to get larger
>>53903750
Some dude enjoying a cold beverage and his vr not bothering anyone. Who cares? If this is your idea of grim you need to get out more often.
>>53910655
>if it doesn't bother anyone, it's perfectly okay
There's more important things than "direct effects", you dumb libertarian.
If these people want to escape reality why are they even going out of their basements? Triggered.
Only normies actively discriminate against early adopters of new technology. Quit being pleb, /g/.
>>53910569
Tell that to all the women using fuck huge 6-7 inch phones.
>>53910691
Kek, that's not even a thing where I'm from. It shouldn't bother anyone any more than someone reading a book and assuming this is in America his poor health isn't even a drain on society.
So what exactly are the important repercussions of this man's behavior? How is this any different than sitting outside with a gameboy or tablet?
>>53904352
This.
OP stfu you fucking pussy. You all sounds like a bunch of normie retards.
>>53910796
Lel, are you hurt that your unhealthy escapism is not socially acceptable outside your basement?
>>53903750
Why are they all using ducktape on the phone? The other dude did too, are they that crap?
>>53910691
>what people want to do is MY concern!
>I will direct the people to do MY bidding!
How about you suck my cock, you statist fuck? If people want to live like walruses and bathe in marmalade, it's really up to them.
Deep down we're all just primates who want to lounge around and masturbate anyway. Stop stressing people the fuck out.

>>53914786
this video is pretty sexist, I let my gf use my vive all the time now that I got it.
She uses it for lewd stuff more than me, I just want to play Quake in vr.
>>53905240
You sound like one of those people who put the TV on as soon as they get home from work until they go to bed, but tell others playing games is a waste of time.
>>53907510
Bash him, then bash his missus. Then shit on his mother.
>>53914982
Seconded
VR is a dumb meme, just like 3D in cinema.
It's a tech that should have never lived past the 80's.
>>53915224
wow man you're really cool in how you're so above everything.
I bet you have lots of friends who think you're a real character.
>>53915224
Except it's cheap (a chinese headset is 15$), you already have the hardware (your phone).
I think it's good for watching movies. And looking like a dork,
>>53908598
THIS!
Personally, I kinda agree with >>53908492 as well.
I mean, if all the betas and normies are off in VRLand not having to deal with "the harsh realities", then scoring is much much easier. A wider market. Throw on some google glass, some one night stands, start selling your selfie porns for VRGear and bam! Insta-cash.
>>53907445
Underrated post
>>53903750
With vr you can travel to Mars without ever leaving your home.
Also i want a set just for that occulus cinema theater.
How many people look happy in this picture?
And ask yourself why they are happy.

Just look at the one frown, it's so severe I thought it was shooped, but it's not.
>>53915807
Those don't look like gamers
I am holding off on VR until the software can support multiple units on one PC. The potential for co-op gameplay is unprecedented, and I look forward to exploiting it.
>>53915807
>That evil grin
>>53915867
Please leave /pol/, /g/.

This is man using his phone. It's the same as using an early cell phone in the 1980s, it looked weird at the time. We will have cameras so we can see the real world in 3D in the future.

Have you heard of that concept called a "computer network" where PCs can exchange information?
>>53917675
I agree Sir Anon, I can't believe people like this still exist in 2016. Fucking 2016!

Those people are assisting to a fucking conference, not riding a virtual rollercoaster you turbosperg. They are watching some video presentation or some shit.

>>53907445
THE SINGULARITY IS NEAR
>>53903750
At least Google glass failed.
Things could have been far worse.
Public use of VR machinery will not be mainstream like this. I know we're all distracted by our phones while out in public, but public use of machines like this cut off all of your visual. I'll just walk up and take his case.
I'm looking forward to the first VR screamers.
I've already got a few in mind I could make with my limited skills.
Imagine the kind of shit you could pull on people in a VR environment.
And it's not as simple as looking away from the screen, you're gonna have to pull your gear off to get away.
Normal games are already 10x as scary in VR when you're expecting it. We can design shit that comes out of nowhere.
It's a Brave new world for making people shit their pants.

I mean, its not like mars offers any safety in terms of total failure compared to a space colony.

Face book was always his intention, we thought it was just a quirky name, oh how we were wrong.
>>53923717
Easier short-term setup and maintenance.
In the long run, you'll need to mine asteroids anyway so it makes sense to just put industry and population where the resources are, in orbital habitats. That way any exports are going down a gravity well, not up, and there's a huge amount of free solar energy.
But you can't build and maintain an O'Neill cylinder without a huge collective effort, so Mars is the outlet for individualist frontier fantasies.

This is honestly the stupidest fucking thread ever. You realize you're talking to people over then Internet on an electronic communication device? How is that any different? Fuck sakes you could just be talking to sophisticated software right now and you don't even know. And it would be easy too cause everyone memes the same nonsense. And you think these vr users have their heads up their ass? At least they're aware that they're using vr. Honestly there's fundamentally no difference between that and poking at your iPhone screen.

Let's face it. As vr is not fully mainstream yet but is getting used more and more. I predict in 10 years time SAO will happen.and is life becomes as shitty as that, we must go to mars
