The processor in 3 is a pretty sizeable improvement over 2. A quick and dirty a/b test I did found frames rendered in 13ms on q2 would render in 9-10ms on q3, so that's a good 20 - 30% faster, even though it's rendering a lot more pixels.

I think the important bit for meta though is making sure their range of headsets all have decent passthrough. No one is going to develop MR apps, and it'll never take off, unless the whole user base can use them.

Personally I'd take the better lenses and resolution of the q3 over better passthrough though.

Lol. I'm glad you're not my dad. The horror.

Maybe. But I don't think it's anything other than a big defeat for them. Nothing beats being beamed into people's living rooms to give you accessibility and credibility. Even if they become more extreme online there's a lot of competition in that space.

The first one did a really good job of having an interesting range of guns and abilities which were very well balanced. There was no 'best gear'. I'm sure they're able to have things worth buying that don't give you an unfair advantage over people who haven't. It's a morally hazardous area though.

Savage. I love it.

That's the whole game! ... But don't sweat it about making 'bad' choices, I wouldn't say there's a correct route.

I thought it was very moving. Psychosis simulator.

Works for me. Thanks for sharing.

This film is a total gem. It's mad, smart and surreal. And Richard E Grant is a perfect cast for the cynical ad' man.

Plot spoiler, personally I think going in blind is good with this film but if you're not gonna watch it...

!The 'ahead' in the title is an actual head. A second head with a wicked alter ego that forms on the advertising man's neck and grows. Moral corruption from his occupation in the shape of a boil. A power struggle between 'good' head (the protagonist is a massive asshole but he does have some tiny moral reservations about his influence in the world) and bad head (no scruples whatsoever) then plays out.!<

That makes it sound like a romp, and it is very funny, but also really dark and cynical.

Also recommend The Young Poisoner's Handbook.

People vote for the game they recognise a good deal of the time.

And shame on business insider to down play it as someone complaining they're not 'cute' enough.
