It’s not just a digital recreation, it can involve physical acting as well. This article quotes a motion-capture performer:
Ms Jefferies told the BBC she was once asked to act out a scene with a male performer involving a sexual assault with no prior warning.
“I turned up and was told what I would be filming would be a graphic rape scene,” she said.
"This act could be watched for as long or as little time as the player wanted through a window, and then a player would be able to shoot this character in the head.
“It was just purely gratuitous in my opinion.”
She refused to act out the “disgusting” scene - which was made worse as she was the only female on set.
“There’s no nudity involved, but its still an act and there’s an intimacy in that act and also a violence in this situation,” she said.
“So yes there may be a layer of Lycra between us, but you are still there and still having to truly immerse yourself in this scene.”
In the end her concerns were listened to and the scene was not recorded.

I haven’t tried the ROG unit, but I can say the LCD and OLED Steam Deck displays are like night and day. It’s a significant upgrade, and I’d be interested to see how the ROG display compares with the current Steam Deck.
Anything with an IP address can be vulnerable to malware running miners, botnets, and all that good stuff for bad people to continually use your toys to do in the background. The convenient jumping off point into your home network and other inward-facing stuff there you might not want accessible from outside is also worth considering.
Are you comparing it to the LCD Steam Deck or the newer OLED screen one?
I haven’t watched that show in ages and my brain still accompanies this image with that little musical twang.

Does “militarily opposed to the death sentence” mean if someone uses the death penalty you’d want to send soldiers to kill them?
The first letter of my name is R and I agree, my handwriting is crap but my Rs are great. I’m a fan of my Rs.
Next one ditches all the filler and just goes straight to shagging a series of elves, demons, were-bears, cthulhus, etc. One after another, there are so many cthulhus to shag and you are the chosen one.
If nobody could be bothered to make the thing, I can’t be bothered to play with the thing.
If you’ve ever watched the old or modern versions of Quantum Leap you know the routine: a “leaper” is time traveling by temporarily taking over the body of someone in the past, while another person from the traveler’s own time is supporting them remotely as a projected hologram only the time traveler can see and hear. The hologram can’t touch anything or communicate with anyone except the leaper in the past, but can zap around the past like a ghost to experience events without affecting anything directly.
I’ve always thought that if you invented the hologram part of the Quantum Leap time travel scheme, you wouldn’t need the actual bodyswap time traveler part at all. You’d already have the safest possible form of time travel! You could remotely visit the past in hologram VR without accidentally stepping on a butterfly, changing winners of wars, dating your own mom, or otherwise screwing up the timeline in all the ways in which time travel scifi portrays. You could safely be an invisible time tourist from home all you wanted.
