Facebook is both anti-privacy and also doesn’t believe in much moderation, both of which make VR dangerous if an entire family uses it. I don’t believe VR should be something only adults can use, but there needs to be some really good moderation. Otherwise it would just be overrun by sexual predators and edgelords.
They don’t even have to kill anyone on purpose. They just have to force people to undergo experimental autism cures, which have historically killed patients. An example of this would be chelation therapy, aka using the medication used to remove heavy metals from the body under the (unconfirmed) assumption that autism is caused by heavy metals.
If a database is good enough to connect pharmacy records, medical records, and even health info from smart watches (which a doctor or insurance company would not have access to) then it would need to link patient info together in a way that’s not as anonymous as they claim it to be. Theoretically, this could be enough information to force someone into doing these experimental treatments in order to keep their driver’s license (even if they’re otherwise high functioning enough to not be hospitalized) or force someone to be hospitalized with promises of being taught to be more independent later down the line.
I dream about buildings and city scapes. Everything that happens in the dream can be detailed, but the focus is on the architecture.
I definitely don’t want to rely on them too much, otherwise the game will become mostly going to a market. That being said, I do like the idea of using the night market to introduce different NPCs that would be useful to the players later on even if there’s not an immediate story arc that plays out.
If I get drunk, I can picture colors for different instruments. Drums, wind, and string instruments are varying shades of red, yellow and orange depending on pitch. Synthesizers are always cool colors depending on their sound. The more artificial they sound, the further away they are from yellow or red for purple and green synthesizers) Human voices are pink if high pitched and red if low pitched.
Same, even though I still use a lot of splat books from 2020 and just imagine how things would be similar/different in 2045.
If their song went viral, it would be funny to make a running gag that the random fans you encounter for the next week who like the song are not the usual target audience of the band at all and only know that one song.
Example: A local hardcore band releases a song criticizing the NCPD, and the song becomes viral. Suddenly, all the police officers they encounter are listening to that song and singing along.
Zhirafa manufactures a lot of animal inspired drones (in this case drone=robot, not a flying drone) for construction job purposes. If you were to have any megacorp create a prototype humanoid drone, it would likely be them.
There are Robot R Mk. 2s in 2077 which are defense robots that are owned by different megacorps, the police, and rich people like Kerry Eurodyne. They’re androids, but not very human-like. They’re very clearly robots.
Despite this, since there are lifelike full-borgs, it’s definitely possible they’ve used a similar style of body for a prototype. I think their movements would be the hardest thing to make lifelike since they aren’t piloted by a human brain, so there would definitely be an uncanny valley effect to them. They’d basically move like really detailed video game characters, but in real life.
I feel the same but with soda in general unless it’s one of the real sugar sodas. I do actually like sodas a lot, but only for special occasions. I used to live within walking distance of a Rocket Fizz and would get a couple bottles once or twice a month. They had a punch card, but I wouldn’t get punches very fast even though I was really close.
