It all the depends on the how and the what.

First of all, if the virtual reality is able to replicate physical sensation indistinguishably from the physical world, it’s not virtual, then, is it? Then it’s just alternative reality. If that was the case, the only dilemma would be the implications to the physical world. Will your body still exist, or are we talking San Junipero here?

As long as there are implications to the real world, then I believe a significant percentage of people will not abandon it, because of empathy.

I personally would only live an alternative reality if there was no one I love back in the real world anymore, or if I were to die.

As for virtual reality in the realm of possibilities, there will always be something missing, as addictive as it may be, so there will always be something to bring you back to reality

As for just trying it, hell yeah! As long as there are no negative consequences physically that I know of before hand.

That’s because it is not tied to stremio, otherwise it would be illegal, you have to search for it :P

Easy there, tiger. You will get there, don’t worry.

No one should ever know about the torrentio addon for Stremio!

Oh I totally agree, I am very fatigued of violence driven games, and have high hopes for Palia. I’m just a little apprehensive that if they just try to copy the non combat parts of zelda and mix it up with animal crossing, it’s not going to be enough.

Same here, though I do wonder how they will keep us interested, as they have deliberately not shown any combat. Not even stardew valley went as far as removing combat from the gameplay loop.

EXAPUNK - 50% - 96% Positive

If you like old time puzzle games, and have a pinch for programming, then you will love this. In this game you control bots by creating algorithms to extract data and other challenges. The cool part is you must study the game language and learn the lore from manuals and magazines that the game provides.

SHENZHEN I/O - 50% - 93% Positive

From the same creator of EXAPUNK, only the thematic here is electronics.

Road 96 - 50% 91% Positive

Summer 1996, Today is the day! You hit the road. Adventure. Freedom. Escape. Run. Flee the Regime. Try to survive.

On this risky road trip to the border, you’ll meet incredible characters, and discover their intertwined stories and secrets in an ever-evolving adventure. But every mile opens up a choice to make. Your decisions will change your adventure, change the people you meet, maybe even change the world.

You don’t suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind

And then proceed to spend 17 hours trying to get it to peel just the way the invetors wanted it to, which is different from the other 987654321 peelers around.

After 20 years in the field, I hate love despise like 'm ok with technology
