I've never thought about it like that. Do we really exist if we aren't remembered or acknowledged by anyone else?

she is a middle school student/goddess of the internet. we love her because she is cute and perfect.
you should try the anime, serial experiments lain, it is an esoteric cyberpunk show from the late 90's.
it explores all sorts of deep questions about life in a creepy and interesting world.

too expensive for me right now. plus most vr games and apps seem to be just toys for now, not very good toys at that.
personally im hoping technology will allow us to directly plug our brains in, thats really the only way to truly immerse.
that being said, what is your vr experience so far? is it worth?

'You' might not be remembered. Your actions, however, thanks to the butterfly effect, are guaranteed to display that you have lived. Your presence has been written into the fabric of this reality and, for as long as time moves forward, is permanently etched into time.

>>2950561
I will remember you, although I would need to get to know you better if you want to be remembered more than 'that post I made on 4chan', or in logs, caches, and archives that may or may not be kept around for time immemorial. If you have hung around the Lain community at all then there is a high probability I have interacted with you in some form or other.

It's a toy but it's a very fun toy.
Really hoping some VR games get made that have some story to them though, most are just arcade style.

I bought a Rift because it's on sale for the summer, don't think I would pay full price with the current software available though.
It has gotten me excited for future developments, and supporting VR seems like the best route to get to tech directly plugging in.

Why is Lain hair purple in the game? Just a design choice or is something more behind it?

>>2951940

I was going to say it might have been an affect of the lights in that warehouse place, but in the scene where she meets her "Wired Self" and the other scene where she appears before that guy, her hair is the same sort of colour so I would guess it could be her Wired Self merging with her "Real World" self?

Might also be worth noting that in the cuddling scene, the scene where she appears before the guy and in the scene where she kills her therapist her outfit was the same. However in the scene where she meets her "Wired Self" she is naked.

I might get a Windows 98 PC in a few weeks. After I get the drivers working I'll give the desktop a Lain makeover before I install any games. I think the top games I'll think about installing for playing and benchmarking purposes would be GLQuake, Quake 2, Interstate '76, Rogue Spear + UO + RS campaign mods, and MechWarrior 2 w/ Mercenaries. It seems to run with a Pentium 2 300 and what might be a RIVA 128 with 2-4 MB. What other stuff would you suggest doing with it in terms of games and software? I'm also thinking about maybe getting a P3 or a 3DFX card, preferably a Banshee or Voodoo 3 if I can.
