Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I play elite dangerous in VR as well as several other sims. (Including a proper training sim for RC aircraft with a connected TX.)

If you go full hog with physical switches and everything positioned perfectly…. It can be extremely immersive technology. Like train surgeons immersive.

Not really. She knows I'm a nerd. Not that I can afford a set up like that, but, I wouldn't mind it.

Train surgeons does sound pretty extreme and immersive, but I feel like I'm about to be disappointed by a typo
