  Your comparison between phones and VR/AR is reasonable but a bit different as when windows phones were discontinued, Microsoft had pretty much lost the phone os race. Also the windows phones sucked, I’ve used them…

  IMO microsoft gave vr/ar a fair chance. They might have been early, but if we are eg. a full decade off must buy VR, then it might not be worth waiting.

  They are technically correct in that it’s the developers fault that they tied themselves to a proprietary game engine.

  In the other hand Godot was nowhere near mature when the slay the spire devs most likely started development.

  I’d guess that companies that failed to turn profit when money was cheap are most likely doomed. However not all of the hype companies are like that. Some might be barely profitable, but shareholder pressure might push them to heavier monetization practices.

  I found steamdb.info. According to them Godot seems to be growing steadily.

  My bad. You don’t need a rocket to launch stuff.

  I mean you could stay in space, if you were to reach escape velocity. Heat might be an issue though.

  Tweaking the nuke to achieve a specific orbit might prove to be difficult.

  That’s a job for the parents though isn’t it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.

  This is what 3d printing really shines in. Churning out prototypes for minimum cost.

  If you’re already familiar with blender, you would only need to learn how to use a slicer, which is not that hard in comparison. Just import the model and fiddle around with print settings if needed.

  I came into 3d printing as a complete noob, and most of my time has been spent learning to do modeling in blender/cad. Slicing and printing itself is simple in comparison. Resin might be more involved.

  I suppose it cannot. I guess my views are largely based on my own experiences.

  I would still like to bring up another online activity, which is gaming. That has surely seen a huge change in culture and how the most popular games are played. 15 years ago one could show up on a public server, and after a while get to know the regulars. That served as a good stepping stone to creating online relationships.

  With the advent of matchmaking, such interaction is no longer the norm. As such one has to go through the effort of finding communities, that they might want to be a part of.

  It didn’t. It’s more alive than ever.

  The web as a whole is more alive than ever, but many of those old school places aren’t. They still exist, but most of the userbase doesn’t.

  I have some hobbies, which used to have a thriving online communities on forums and blogs. For the average internet user, that wanted to read up about such hobbies, they would gravitate towards those forums or blogs. This has fundamentally changed with the popularity of sites such as reddit, facebook, youtube & discord. The conversations that were had on the forums moved to the above platforms and as such a lot of the deeper nuances of conversation were lost.

  A specific hobby of mine had a dozen active forums to read. Now all but one are mostly dead. The only one in my native language is also gone. My country’s native communities moved to facebook, which is now only used for announcements and some simple questions being asked again and again.

  Last time I edited my posts they were reverted back a week later. I’ve now deleted them all by hand and that seems to be holding. Still keeping an eye on it though.
