I remember the guy started working on military defense but i didn’t know he founded his own military defense company named after the lord of the rings with the help of peter thiel. Also i wasn’t aware his company is now producing an arsenal of surveillance weapons and leading the sector.
Has gone? More like had gone. Way back when he was still running Oculus. People just liked the project that he was working on. He still wasn’t a good person back then.
Luckey’s sister, Ginger Luckey, is married to former U.S. representative Matt Gaetz.
Entire family are a bunch of winners
Hey Ginger gets all the drugs she wants now.
Wow, she stayed married to him even after all the kiddie diddling came to light?
She probably helped hide the worst of it.
Ginger Luckey is the name of a horse, not a human.
Could make a great stripper stage name too 😅
Damn, I didn’t know Gaetz was into older women.
Current owners too!
His drones over the borders are like the drones in Wildlands
Didn’t he sell it to Facebook? A sellout doesn’t bode well for him.
For two billion.
Not quite, but the goatee may be spreading…

Fuck I loved Community.
I just heard they’re still on for the movie. That, and it looks like Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne had a relatively recent update.
Yeah, I had started hearing he was saying some messed up things around the time he sold Oculus to MetaBook. For a moment it actually made me feel better about the sale smh
What funny is apparently he was pressured by Zuck into resigning from Meta because it looked bad that he was supporting Trump…
as a commemoration of the anime Sword Art Online, Luckey created a VR headset art piece that kills its human user in real life when the user dies digitally in the video game, by means of several explosive charges affixed above the screen
Luckey blogged, “The idea of tying your real life to your virtual avatar has always fascinated me—you instantly raise the stakes to the maximum level and force people to fundamentally rethink how they interact with the virtual world and the players inside it.”[77] Luckey additionally described it as “just a piece of office art, a thought-provoking reminder of unexplored avenues in game design”. He also mentioned that while it is “the first non-fiction example of a VR device that can actually kill the user, it won’t be the last.”[75]
… and his job is making autonomous weapon systems. I wonder what the future built by Jigsaw types like this is gonna look like
I remember when got caught secretly funding a gang of racist trolls to harass people online during the first Trump campaign.
Yea unfortunately the entire Gameboy community was re-introduced to this guy because of the modretro chromatic. You know things are fucked when you have an ethical dilemma about buying a Gameboy.
You know how a lot of DIY gadgets have slogans like “trans rights are human rights” on the circuit boards? I wonder if the Modretro has some fascist slogan similarly inscribed. Perhaps “Deus Vult” or some particularly authoritarian Bible verse number, or maybe just a couple of plausibly deniable 14s and 88s.
I repaired an original SNES controller last night, and a couple places on the circuit board there were arrows pointing to unoccupied pads that looked like they were for SMT resistors with the legend “Only P” which I couldn’t quite parse.
Also, cool detail: The inside of the top cover had a legend stamped into it that told you where each color went for both the US lilac and purple, and the international four colors.
I was unaware of this douche until just now. I’ve been interested in the Modretro Chromatic for a little while, disappointing to see this guy is tied to it. Glad I haven’t gotten one, thanks for letting people know.
His heel-turn occurred three years before that when he sold Oculus to Facebook in 2014.
I had the original devkit. The FB sale killed Oculus for me for life.
Still have mine in the hard plastic case, such a neat piece of electronic history. Also a giant PoS, more screen door than a Lowes.
I remember trying it with Skyrim making me so nauseous I was wiped out the whole day:D
I sold it at a profit.
Count-down to OP being incarcerated…
He’s been fash for a long time
The guy’s got two surnames. That’s a recipe for disaster.
As a child he was homeschooled
I think that’s the bigger red flag.
Just look at that facial hair, screams evil villain wannabe
Hair might as well come with a spoiler alert.
