Oh, it's the right way up now.

This place is confusing!

Wait till you see the 3D version.

I think this one could hold all kinds of phones, though: iPhones, the big phones that some people have... I don't know what they are

Hang on a minute, are there iPhone apps that work with this card board thing then?

I've completely ignored it as I thought it was an android only kinda thing.

I used to leave the family's 286 on overnight rendering those things from pictures/patterns I made on the Amiga.

That one took 2 seconds to render... ONLINE. Times have changed, man.

We'll blow me, apparently I'm getting this cardboard thing now.

What was that scenery drawing program that came on a AF cover disk? Was it called Vista? It would take hours to render a landscape the PS4 dumps out in less than a lamb's tale

I suspect you'll find a lot fewer Cardboard app on the iOS side of the fence mind, and the Cardboard demo app itself isn't all that brilliant. I can't tell for sure though because of course you can't really search for anything on the iTunes website.

That one took 2 seconds to render... ONLINE. Times have changed, man.

I can see those things really easily, however, I can't make out what it is - it looks a bit like a head with something jutting out to the left, like a miner's lamp.

Apparently Titans of Space doesn't work with my phone.

Sucks to be you.

Yes it does. Sometimes.

But I get over it.

Works on iOS. Also emoticons was a perfectly good word, why did everyone start using the massively less explanatory half-Japanese word for them?!

Short answer: Because they were originally a Japanese only thing based upon the somewhat larger character space required for text, which then got inserted into unicode. Then the Japanese complained lots when Apple phones didn't support them while all the other phones had since pre-unicode days, so they were put in on Japanese iphones. Before sometime being enabled on non Japanese phones sometime later while still maintaining the Japanese name.

Also: Emoticons was a shit name anyway.

In the UK we used emoticons for years, it being a perfectly explanatory portmanteau of emotion and icon. Then a couple of years we switched to emoji, which is a bizarre half Japanese hybrid of emotion and kanji, I can only assume. For no possible reason I can fathom.

Sisters is creepy, I took it off after 30 seconds. I want to sleep tonight.

Emoji has gained traction simply because it's on our phone now. So blame iOS and Android designers for using that word.

it's not as good as Dimlie anyway.

After you said that I thought "Well he's clearly a massive fanny so I will download that and have a go and well that's not scary at all really I don't know and no wait I am turning it off now. NO THANK YOU"

Took me about 10 minutes to calm down properly.

Fucking shut up about emoticons, every time this thread gets bumped I think it'll be some cool new VR thing to try. I can't cope with this sort of mild disappointment.
