The Star Trek timeline, I just want a holodeck, but they just keep hawking this VR/AR crap :(

If you knew what came next in the ST timeline, you would not wish for it

One must walk before they can run. Probably. I dunno the future.

It's gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can't do in one that it's not even worth it?

Imagine playing GTA, but:

  • you can't hijack a train full of people
  • buildings don't take any damage when you fly helicopters into them
  • people's limbs don't detach when you sever them
  • you can't make idle small talk with random NPCs without it escalating into violence

Would that be a GTA you would actually play?
