    Minetest is really cool but it’s always struck me as kind of a shameless Minecraft clone instead of trying to do something new. The graphics are identical, the UI is similar, the gameplay is practically the same, there isn’t a huge reason to play it compared to Java Minecraft + mods. It is free and open source though, which is cool.

    I’m more of a Vintage Story enjoyer myself. It has its fair share of issues but I appreciate how it’s not trying to be Minecraft.
















  • It’s the Hololens all over again and I legitimate don’t understand why the internet is so obsessed with this. If the Meta Quest 2 can’t break into the market at $400, this sure as hell won’t. Everything they showed of the Apple headset is a gimmick. Watch a blurrier version of your TV on a 2 hour battery! Capture videos by wearing a bulky headset that’s not very portable! Use apps that already exist on your phone in a clunkier way!

    Am I missing something? It looks like good tech but I agree with OP, there’s no market for this.
