I often end up in what I tend to think of as a "semi-lucid dream"...I'm not consciously aware that I'm dreaming, but I am aware on some base level that I can manipulate reality and bend it to my will.
It's quite a nice thing to have.
i get the opposite, kinda
or not really the opposite, but
i'll often be aware that what's happening is in some sense not real, i'll be a lot less cautious than i am in real life and i may even be aware that i can wake up
but i won't be able to control what actually happens
in fact one of the worst things that can happen to me in a dream is for me to have the thought 'this a dream' and infer that anything i think might happen actually could happen, because invariably some horrible possibility will pop into my head unbidden and i'll think, 'oh no, that's about to happen, isn't it?' and then it will
I used to have this thing happen to me as a kid where I'd be in a nightmare, and realize it, and stop being scared. And then I would try to have monsters eat me so that I would wake up, which didn't work very well.
There would also be this recurring thing where I would see someone I knew in a dream, then I would see them again in a place they couldn't be, and I would have to choose the real one.
I would always choose wrong, and the they would kill me.

Gasoline Alley mentioning JPEGs is a whole load of fuck.
On the other hand, the execution of the joke is exactly how you'd expect a comic starting in 1918 to approach modern digital stuff.
I have a two hour lecture at 3. Shall I do a lab report that is due in on Friday and get it finished during this lecture, or should I go back to my family of fairies on The Sims 3?
To be honest I am glad it will cost $1,000. It will price a bunch of you teenagers and college students out of the market and help me have a better chance of getting one. God bless Capitalism.
It must be painful to have your nose stuck so far in the air.

I mean, Hawaii is fantastic and amazing, and probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, and I have lived a richer life for having been there.
I kinda want to get a VR unit but it seems like Oculus is distancing themselves from games
Not really? Like, there's a difference between saying "VR can be used for stuff other than games." (which is vitally important for mainstream appeal of a brand new technology) and "It's not really for games." A big issue that's currently in the air is actually platform exclusivity, since several games have exclusivity deals with Oculus.
Also, it means that I left the North American continent, which feels wrong, as if there is some sort of prophecy that I won't die until after I leave this continent and now that requirement is fufilled.

Maybe I'm just too concerned. I know Elite Dangerous will support the Vive when it launches.

This past week or so has been a rough one here at Ohio State University
On Tuesday a student died when he broke his neck jumping into Mirror Lake for "beat Michigan week"
Then yesterday an ex-employee vandalized some art exhibits at the Wexner Center before shooting himself
Part of me hopes people never terraform Mars. Mars is too lovely and wonderful, despite those dang rovers leaving tacky tracks all over the place. I mean, it's like a whole planet of australia/nevada/arizona/southernUtah.
But planets outside the solar system, I don't care about. I never liked Kepler-186f anyway.
It's like making a bridge over the Grand Canyon, or leveling the Himalayas, or draining the pacific ocean, there are some things that I don't think people were ever intended to do.
Like, there are some places, like the inside of active volcanoes, or the surface of the sun, or the center of the earth, or deep into Antarctica, where I don't think people were ever supposed to go.

i always figured it was being sufficiently scared that woke you up, rather than 'dying'
get me some ryusishic sakamoto

i didn't have any particular countries or cities in mind, i just wanted to run through the whole checklist
I'm also not sure if a headset would work on my current desktop.

Just...jeez
