The US doesn't even track diseases or fund vaccines, they aren't going fund a string of fanfiction buzzwords.

#13Only vaguely related: is that tiny receipt printer at the end of the article real or is it itself a mockup? (It appears to be smaller than any of the ones I've come across, and google image search was unhelpful.)
It’s real! It’s an Epson TM-P20II, designed for mobile use - it even comes with a belt clip.
Thanks!

No wonder people don't believe it exists - it's crazy expensive (super cool, and crazy expensive).

That does immersive art? In the US, it's packaged up as an experience that you can post to Instagram. Meow Wolf would be the first that comes to mind, especially for adults, but there's no shortage of escape rooms. Don't forget the Star Wars experience at Disneyland. Though closed now, the Star Wars hotel experience was probably the best one on the planet.
If you want less corporate, there's Neotropolis, https://www.neotropolis.com/which is a large scale cyberpunk event held in California yearly. Don't forget about Renfaire either.

No. Nope. About the furthest thing from it. Not even the best Disney has done.
This video is 4 hours and somehow was engaging to me (who never went to the Star Wars park) for its entire duration: https://youtu.be/T0CpOYZZZW4
Doing proper immersive experiences where the participants are involved is a ton of work, often without a ton of replay value. This makes them tricky to attract customers to and limits the potential for massive returns, so they are overwhelmingly passion projects.

Here’s an alternate take on the Star Wars hotel from the person making Strandfall!

tldr: I found it fascinating and quite impressive. Definitely flawed, but nowhere near as much as you would think from the four hour video, which is based on a visit from the start of its run.

#19>“McNair-Feldman Devices” (named after its fictional inventors)
Is it just me or are a disproportionate amount of fictional technologies named after *man

#20Oh hey this is my project I’m making with Alex Macmillan! HNers will likely enjoy his more technical explanation: https://strandfall.com/2026/04/10/an-introduction-to-mfds/
So, what is it actually scanning or monitoring?
Or is that something constructed within the game world?
