I remember reading about a group of researchers many years ago who had developed a subdermal LED screen that could be implanted and ran off of the oxygen in your blood stream via a tiny turbine or something.

    I remember this. It was like 10 years ago or so. I had a friend of mine in design school who wanted to use it to make a subdermal PipBoy. I convinced him it wouldn’t be worth it because he’d probably be taking antibiotics and anti-rejection meds for the rest of his life. Also, the flight to Japan and the surgery wasn’t in his project budget. Our professor was also skeptical.

    instead, he made an actual PipBoy out of a 3-D printed model and a disused Android phone. It’s was… functional. he made a revised version out of a raspberryPi and an LCD touchscreen. That worked much better. All programmed from scratch using nodeJS libraries. It was pretty impressive for what it was.

    That's so much cooler than the plastic shell that you could put your phone in that Bethesda sold with one of the games for like $200.

    I have to think back to the old time days, lol, but I think it was in November 2015 for the game of the year edition… When they actually sold some physical gear along with a game… It was a gigantic flop, although the physical gear was kind of cool.

    Like, it was one of the major game releases that Harold did they beginning of the end for steam for that generation. It was the start of the dark era first steam

    It was, like, a game bag, a helmet, and a shitty plastic pipboy or something. There was a gigantic backlash over how incredibly shitty the physical pack was, and how buggy the initial game release was.

    I think this was the first signal for the first generation downfall for Steam. It was the first Harold for the first reckoning, first Steam’s first major downfall in 2015.

    Thank God, it happened to Steam, and thank God it happened in 2015. If it hadn’t happened to them, and if it hadn’t happened so early, none of us would have survived.

    Because they know there is no God (really? How stupid do all of you assholes feel now?), and because it happened long enough ago, they have no fear, and a new economy has emerged. Rough times are ahead, but there, thank goodness, is a future.

    A delicious feature where interspecies queers have even footing, so get used to it you fucking dogmatic prickwads! Jobs are jobs!
