A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

If you'd like a particularly egregious example, try playing Elite: Dangerous in VR. E:D's universe makes no sense when it's viewed in real scale, because the designers obviously made everything to look right on your flat screen with a 90 degree FOV or whatever, and didn't think about the implications. And the same models and UI are used in VR as they are in flatland.
Like, Elite's classic radar thingy. It's hovering right over your console and about the size of a dinner plate, right?
Well, no... It's actually the size of a kiddie pool and it's six or eight feet forward of your chair. You can walk around the cockpits in the various ships at least to a limited degree, and even those in what are supposed to be compact and nimble single seat fighter craft are inexplicably cathedral-like. The cockpit canopy glass in an Asp Explorer is like 18 feet tall.
