  • The AR stuff is what I’ve wanted since the first Oculus dropped – being able to remove all the obvious parts of technology from my physical spaces (the multiple monitors, the computer tower, all the cables and whatnot) in favor of a thing I put on my head and do real work? Yes please. Fuck gaming – I want my life back, and to have work shoved off into a weird phantom realm where I don’t have to think about or look at it when I’m off the clock.


  • Great list. I would also say most RPGs, if they’re any good, will give you the choice – Mass Effect, Skyrim, Pillars of Eternity, the Divinity games, etc.

    Lots of adventure games as well – The Longest Journey/Dreamfall games, Life is Strange, Whispers of a Machine, etc.

    Honestly, the number of games where you’re trapped playing a lantern-jawed, grunty doofus is way, way less overwhelming than it used to be, which I really appreciate.


  • That’s a good point – it hadn’t occurred to me that “people who sell a lot of music/are getting a lot of play” might not be a category of fame in the near future. Being able to generate films/books/etc. end-to-end at will would do the same thing to a lot of other categories of media celebrity – close that off as a path to fame.

    Which… huh. What the heck are people going to be famous for?
