The lenses in a VR headset make it seem like the screen is infinitely far away. If you need glasses normally, then you will need to wear them or something equivalent to see clearly in VR.

The first digital pocket watch was the invention of Austrian engineer Josef Pallweber who created his "jump-hour" mechanism in 1883.

These games have infinite replay value and people like them. That's all a top ranking game is. Many have tried to replicate these successes and failed (in recent memory, Concord). There have been a huge number of good games coming out too. But they're not somthing you put 2,000 hours into with your friends.

There'a a big element of the snowball effect too. Big games attract more players than small games. Esports are a lot like normal sports in that regard. People make new sports pretty often but Football, Basketball, Baseball etc have been around for 100+ years so they have large communities and social relevance. If I asked my buds to go out for a match of "whipple stick", my new favorite sport, they'd just laugh at me.

On the other hand, new games CAN become huge if they're built well enough. A few of the top 10 were released less than 10 years ago, which says a lot about how these "main games" DO change over time. I think Deadlock will get up there after a few years of polishing.

You could have been born on Mars when it had water. All that's left is dust

It is horrid. I get nauseous whenever a low framerate video has any significant motion

If you solder together the ends on the LED you'll only need 2 pins
