Epic Eldar are Epic 😉

Tomorrow I’m going to get the gitz I ordered. 😀
And I probably should see if I can get my bike in working condition.

> 1. What do you miss about 90s pop culture?

Isn’t it that it was the 90’s in which MTV forgot it was Music TV ?
Or was that later ?

> 2. What was a bad thing about the 90s? Try not to let this one get too political.
The end of MTV ?

> 3. Technology Question: What is your opinion on the following mantra with potential dangerous, albeit for the moment mainly theoretical technology: if we can do something, should we do it? Kind of an Isaac Asimov Question.

Or as Oppenheimer said : “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.”
IIRC it was a quote from an Indian text. So technically not his words.
I do think that we (as a species) have thought so little about the impact of various tech on life itself.

All this radiation from our mobile devices can not possibly be healthy.
I also doubt that all this genetic modification crap is good for us as a species.

> 4. Technology Question: What piece of technology are you enjoying using or is due to be released soon that you look forward to? This can be anything from an early 90s printer to VR gaming, or anything going off in a tangent.

The 90’s is definitely the era in which consoles replaced homecomputers.
As for VR … as cool as the idea is I doubt it is going to get anywhere ever.
The hardware is too expensive and the games/software are too limited.
The cool things are 10 minute tech demos as opposed to proper 10+ hour games.
And then there’s people who get motion sick or who wear glasses which further limits the potential audience.
