Palmer Luckey, the billionaire creator of Oculus and current owner of a defense company worth $10 billion is arguing with redditors right now in /r/Oculus. Redditors accuse him of being associated with G*mergate :marseyxd:

@ULTRAGIGASNEED posted the Twitter version earlier, but didn't fricking explain who these people are :marseyeyeroll:

I guess arguing on Twitter wasn't enough. /u/PalmerLuckey wanted to continue on reddit.

I genuinely want to split the skulls of everyone who believes this dumbass shit. How can you have a stranglehold on every single major institution of power and influence, and still think you're the underdog. I wish that Trump was even a fraction of the giga fascist these people believe him to be, solely so he would actually wipe them out and never have to hear their r-slurred fricking whining ever again.

What people don't understand about this guy is that he solved problems with regard to VR that are very obvious now, but were not at the time. No one was bothering with VR at all because it kept making people sick. This dude, while working out of a trailer on his parents' property, figured out that motion sickness was linked to refresh rate, and he built prototype headsets out of bastardized samsung phones that could display enough fps to not make people puke. He brought some cobbled together piece of shit to a conference, practically getting r*ped by TSA on the way, and managed to impress Carmack enough that he started developing software for it. I'm not saying Palmer Luckey was the foremost genius of his time or whatever, but everyone trying to act like he's some nobody because he's a chud now is a jealous, lame piece of shit. Any of us would be lucky as crap to accomplish what he did by the time he was 21.

It still makes people sick. That's why all vrshit let's u teleport around vs smooth movement .Soys will get motion sickness from anything, it doesn't even have to be 3d.

True, but he fixed it for head movement, which wasn't even possible before. If you move your head and/or body and the tracking is slower than your brain thinks it should be, you get sick. The current VR headsets handle head tracking very well, so you can swivel your head all over the place and be ok, but moving your body around with a controller or whatever is too off-putting for your brain, and there probably isn't any way to fix that. If you had like a warehouse or a big open space, you could move around in a VR environment without wanting to throw up.

Most of the terminally online wealthy are anonymous.

Being online is an addiction like any drug. But almost more insidious because it doesn't overtly ruin your life, it just whittles away the one commodity you truly have in life: time.

This is probably what they're talking about. I think they're overreacting, but I also think VR in general is overrated so I don't really have a stake here.

I posted this a while ago. Backstory is Palmer went on Giant Bombs stream to talk about VR games then they proceeded to slander him and call him a garbage person. So he shows up to there small subreddit to defend himself.

Giant Bomb used to be a pretty popular niche gaming website. I think it was there big Game of the Year deliberation they had a "Most Disappointing" category one of the hosts has a big tds meltdown and calls him garbage for attacking Hillary or something. It was pretty clear he got all his information from the game journos clique on Twitter and didn't bother looking into it himself.

That was Alex Navarro. He was the hugest wet blanket in the history of the podcast and would constantly sperg out about costal lefty shit. I remember him before Giant Bomb too. His whole vibe was β€œfrick off, I'm cooler than you”. On GB and Nextlander, he transformed into a fussy neurotic shitlib.

We didn't work together directly and I didn't have much to do with input so it's entirely possible I've got a blind spot there. I did walk past your office regularly and saw it empty quite often, but to be fair you were traveling and in meetings a lot so I never read much into that.

Didn't read much into that? That's weird I seem to remember reading your post a whole minute ago where you use it to support your thesis that he wasn't important.

For what it's worth I can't remember a single technical contribution he made during my overlap with him, or for that matter seeing him in the office very often

Despite Civvie-11 gushing about Carmack being a superhero, I don't understand the appeal. I don't think I've benefited from anything Carmack has created in the last 30+ years.

Like, where's the consumer-level VR we've been promised? VR is never going to happen at this point.

He (Carmack) is a has-been. It's sad to say, for he really is a programming genius. But all of us are destined to fade away.

The universe is finally unified: Both John Romero and John Carmack are useless fossils. This it the Heat Death of Talent.
