I’m StarLight, gamer, armchair fighter pilot, youtuber and VR enthusiast. I have seen games evolve from the 8-bit era to Virtual Reality, enjoying VR since 2016. I love to talk about how transformative VR is to gaming. linktr.ee/starlightpl

Unless you have some preexisting condition, VR simulation sickness (a conflict between inner ear and visual cues) fades with time. Some people take weeks, some take months, some don't even care. If you start small there's a high chance you'll accustom to it. Wipeout is definitely crazy for a vr-gin.

How come they dub it "retaliation" if they have been bombing Ukraine for <checks notes> almost 5 years now, 4 of which without Ukraine having the capability to strike back? The correct way of dealing with ruSSia is "get a bigger stick".

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

Little known fact, USA did a lot more to fuel the rise of fascism in Europe & world 1919-39 than it ever did to fight it 1942-45. They helped put both Mussolini & Hitler in power to start with. Their industrialists & scientists supported them. USA is 99% myth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard...

This leads to the uncomfortable conclusion that, like average Russians, many Americans would be largely okay with fascism so long as they felt the economy was improving for themselves personally. trib.al/JBa1Ma6

Polling shows the president in free fall. Unfortunately, a number of his most reactionary policies still have disturbing levels of support.

Far in the future, far across the galaxy... It's was a tall order to cram a portion of space opera epic The Five Star Stories into a single 66 minute OVA (Sunrise, 1989). Urusei Yatsura's Kazuo Yamazaki gave it his best though, bringing to life from manga pages this world of mysticism and mecha.
A still from the bluray release, with a busy Phantasy Star IV-alike city scene with Ladioss Sop, a femme-y guy with long chestnut blonde hair resting casually resting on a floating bulbous bike with middle eastern-ey citizens around himA pristine blue sky and clouds, with beams of light cast down the Greek mythology inspired scene of extravagant white robed figures in a line and a young woman approaching them.A bulky mecha in closeup with pilots disembarkingOne of my favourite shots from the OVA, a tall techie tower structure in a barren desert wasteland, with a wooden sign pointing in all directions close to the camera. All beneath a burnt orange-yellow-blue cloudy sky.
