Because 1-10 isn't always enough scale to allow for nuance. What's the difference between 94 and 93? 93 is one lower.

This isn’t a treadmill for fitness so much as it is for immersion in VR.

Definitely in terms of locals, but Far Cry is typically much more lone wolf story/gameplay. BF:BC games carried big 80s action ensemble vibes, and I always felt like A-Team and Losers channeled the same energy.

The Losers is a Battlefield: Bad Company film. (Yes, I know it's based on the comic)
Also, ditto for The A-Team movie.

Reply to Shop At Home pitch man & TNA Impact wrestling announcer Don West passes away at 59 by vatred
This guy was a ball of energy! Always brought excitement whether he was hocking goods on Shop at Home or screaming about Scott Steiner and Kurt Angle. Seems like the kind of person that no one had an ill word about.

Yea, the first regular episode. Preceded by a pilot, Ransom for a Dead Man, and a few years earlier we had Columbo in Prescription: Murder(which saw a slightly different characterization of Columbo and features a rare instance of the character getting fired up and yelling at a suspect!).

Love one of the opening shots to his episode of Columbo where you're looking at what appears to be an aerial shot of Los Angeles before the camera begins to pull back, and back, and back revealing itself to be in the office of a writer as he types away on his typewriter. Always stuck with me!

I think it's just as simple as "oh shit, david's phone! maybe there's something on here that'll inform what happened to him."
Plain old curiosity did it for me.

Reply to Pet Sematary (1989) by [deleted]
I don't know if I'd say that he new his dog came back evil, but more aggressive. If I remember correctly, after the incident with his mom, she made him keep the dog outside, but he went on to "live" another several years before dying of "natural" causes a second time. So from Jud's perspective, the dog came back different, but not definitively evil.
Also, I think his hope is that by burying Church asap, the differences in the cat could be mitigated.
I don't think Jud himself is evil, he's well intentioned.

An apt analogy! I guess I'm of the perspective of not spending my time worrying about things I can't help or change. I'm not a tech developer, I won't be creating an app to take on Meta minus all the darker shit they do. The majority of the tech world uses their products, which means I'm going to end up having to use them in certain scenarios, too.

With the battery on the back of the strap, the Pro at least seems like it'll be more comfortable despite being a bit heavier. All that weight on the face with Quest 1/2 can get uncomfortable without a counterweight after a while.

Sure, and just like all of their other experimental features, the change will be advertised and you'll likely be givin an option to opt out like many of the other features on their devices.
The thing is, the people making a big stink about all of this are people that weren't going to buy the devices in the first place. They're just complaining to complain.

I'm not sucking on anything, just stating facts. People are up in arms about the cost of a device that isn't meant for the average consumer. There's plenty of legitimate shit to be mad at Zuck about, but the cost of an enterprise gizmo ain't it.

And people have known about it for just about as long. Yet there are still plenty of people using their products.
I guess nobody on here still has a FB acount, Instagram account, Whatsapp account, Giphy. /s

This feature is also off by default. You have to choose to turn it on.

Its an enterprise device. It wasn't built for consumers. They never expected you to buy it.
