#8 I've never even been mountain biking and I can tell that zero part of this person's posture is correct for what they're attempting to do. They look like they're ready to start a leisurely stroll lol
#8 When I was a kid, my bike was third-hand. It had been run over & didn't work properly. When I got enough to buy my first real new bike, I was overjoyed. Rode it everywhere, forever. Then I see these folks wrecking theirs & I think: "why TF would you waste a perfectly good bike, idiot?"
Brains are fundamentally impressionable and VR can create something akin to a dream state. The larger context fades out and only the now remains. "Of course I'm not actually walking on a plank above a skyscraper, this is all fake. This is all fake. None of this is real. There are no consequences here. I can throw myself off of this and I'll be fine. Look, here I go."
I never really got Laurel and Hardy. They weren't bad, but I feel like they were much more of their time than, say, the Marx Brothers. Most of their stuff is still outrageous even almost a century later. Duck Soup is very high on my list of favorite movies.
#1 I always find this clip inspiring. Imagine being so immersed in the game that you forget where you are and still having the gull to dive face first.
I heard "el hermano eres sobre regalodor" and "hermano es el mejor que hay" -- something about his brother, the best gift-giver, his brother is the best... I couldn't understand the rest.
"The brother Nelson gift me this, look, he's the best and i love him not because he's my brother, its because he's my uncle and i love him for it" Then drops the bottle (kind of swears?) and the other guy tells him it's recorded
I really want to try it bc everyone keeps saying you feel like it's real but it doesn't seem like that's possible. MY e I just don't get it bc I've never tried it
Some of the games are good but the format is limited by the fact that depicting motion whilst the user is stationary causes vertigo for most users. So either they have to move around in a space limited by their environment, you need to teleport them or have them "on rails" (like some of the rollercoaster-style shooting games). Maybe at some point we'll get cost effective VR treadmills which I think will open up the types of games you can design a lot.
Eh disagree. There arent are a lot of games sure but games like Half life Alyx, Into the radius, Pavlov, Arizona Sunshine 2 are some of the best most immersive games ive ever played.
I've seen it a few times. It just goes "foomp!" And it's on. However, the air quickly cools and contracts, so if you don't start filling it up right away, it just deflates again. It might be on the bead this time, so it could be an improvement.
Mount the tire on the wheel redneck style. It's not an OSHA approved method, but it does work if you know what you're doing and probably stick to smaller tires unlike these guys.
It's actually easier to do on bigger tires. Sidewall flex/volume ratio. Big'uns also tend to turn slower so balancing isn't a thing. Really common for agricultural equipment. Or ATVs and rock crawlers if you're just trying to get your vehicle back to real equipment. Smaller wheels (e.g. lawnmower) usually also need a ratchet strap (not less dangerous).

One time I tried to put my hand on a desk in a game to get back onto my feet after crouching down, but that's the only time it ever happened to me.
GadenKerensky
It's not real, but it's very good at crossing wires in the brain so you enter this sort of 'mixed state' of immersion.
pyr0kid
its good, but its also just a gimmick because theres not much to actually do in there.

You know it's not real......but if you get a good experience it can mess with you. That's what makes it fun. Face your fears was a great example.
Deathpunkin
I'm thinking it might be more on the developers to create the atmosphere. Like the really good non-vr Horror games, that feel way to real.

Dude to the left got so lucky that wheel didn't land on him.
jimfalconer611
Nobody ever says anything about it completely blowing the forks off the jack. They’re way heavier than that wheel
MikeRInternetTraveler
And it didn’t blow when he had his foot over the tire. That would’ve torn him in half.

I’m a real doctor of sciences and all things injuries and explosions and I can confirm this would have been very much not good for his leg

I feel like someone still might have died. That was a very intense explosion.

AtlasFutureOverthrowsAmerica
IIRC there were no major injuries and the only damage was the tire and several pairs of pants.
EleganceIsDead
IKR, no one EVER posts a tire inflation that goes well (except the rare savior posts). LOL!
TheBlueMuppet
I've seen it a few times. It just goes "foomp!" And it's on. However, the air quickly cools and contracts, so if you don't start filling it up right away, it just deflates again. It might be on the bead this time, so it could be an improvement.
EleganceIsDead
Oh, I've seen it personally, in real life, I've just never seen it memed except when it goes BOOM or someone was getting saved.
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
What were they even trying to do?

Mount the tire on the wheel redneck style. It's not an OSHA approved method, but it does work if you know what you're doing and probably stick to smaller tires unlike these guys.

i cant believe this is actually the way this product is meant to be used. thats stupid as hell
HandsomePenguin
I dont know if they make a product specifically for this purpose, or if any accelerant would do TBH
Geracht
Any. It's a very temporary fix; you're supposed to add air to the tire afterwards to make sure it stays seated.
HotCarle
No special product, just any highly flammable aerosol. I've done it many times. WD-40, carb cleaner. It all works to varying degrees.
AssHatEaterMaker
WD40 is FLAMMABLE??
