that and so much more my friend
The color was a budget call. Wikipedia says Gunpei Yokoi retained the supplier's choice of red LED because it was the cheapest. Every screen came out in the same red.
Nintendo Life says you need a flat surface and a chair to use it, which put an end to playing on your feet.
The sales were small. Engadget says that in June 1996 Nintendo reported the console had sold 770,000 units, and Wikipedia says only 22 games were actually released.
If you are looking at a headset or smart glasses, wear them for an hour in the store before you buy, and ask the seller about the return window. Comfort is the thing the box never tells you, and the Virtual Boy showed what happens when it is ignored.
A face computer wins when you forget you are wearing it.
And doing the "make this work for a generalizable N things" refactor is easier when going directly from 1 to N than it is when you're going from 3 things to N things
@mcc oh I've heard this before. it is the "3 body problem" right
Nintendo Put a Red 3D Screen on Your Face in 1995, and Players Got Headaches...
Nintendo's Virtual Boy was a console you looked into like a pair of binoculars, and it caused trouble for the people who played it. Nintendo Wire says it was lambasted for causing players great discomfort during play, including headaches, dizziness and nausea. It was gone in a year: Nintendo Wire says it was discontinued in August 1996 in the United States, a single year after its launch.

sadly the replies demonstrate the point made here. better tools would certainly help, but there is definitely a culture problem.
@echo yep. "looks like they don't know how to use blocklists" fuuuuck off
Next short talk is a romp through Peacebuilding through art and non-violent communication in Syria - 4 very fast profiles of different community art projects.
Now a short presentation on the city-village divide in Afghanistan. Exploring how language and choice of words and implications can shape the socio-political sphere. The point is the divide is not natural, it was created by those in, or seeking, power.

This episode gives you a sense of what a good team Maomao and Jinshi are at this stage. Not only is it clear that they are increasingly comfortable in each other’s company, but Jinshi has also grown accustomed to Maomao’s wild ideas that he’s not even surprised anymore when she starts cooking up some new scheme. And while Maomao tries to act distant from him, he still manages to bring out her goofy and caring side.

Lol, the AI text for that first one:
'Custom Dravo Sternwheeler owners tend to value the unmistakable historic character and presence that comes with this classic houseboat profile.'
Yeah there are I'm sure there are a lot of owners of similar 1936 boats... And it wasn't made to be a houseboat

Drunk Maomao is best Maomao.
I'm looking for a flat in #Hamburg, Germany (tips welcome), and wondering yet again how #SCHUFA is not illegal.
It's a company whose business model is to collect data on everyone and pretend to be able to predict their ability to pay rent or a mobile contract. Mundane shit like changing your bank account gives you a negative score.
The whole business model should be illegal. A person's right to privacy should be more important than a slightly higher business risk.

yes, assuming you are there for a discussion and not entertainment.
most folks are on reddit for entertainment, let’s not kid ourselves. very tiny sliver of the users were there for discussion.
My date turned out to be a nutter. She randomly and very matter of factly blurted that she was psychic and could see dead people. And spent the date explaining what dead people were all around us and what they wanted. So I blocked her. Bet she didn't see that ghost coming.

Probably untrue, but very good punchline.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
