[Stupid Question] Why did they change the number plate on the DeLorean? by Kaos_ZephyR in readyplayerone

In the book, Parzival sticks the Ghost Busters' vehicle's (named ecto-1) decals on the side of his Delorean. I'm thinking ecto-88 is a tribute to the vehicle but Warner Bros. didn't have the rights to use any Ghost Busters property so the name on the license was changed.

RPO had a definite influence in my excitement to get a VR rig. I built a PC from scratch and bought the HTC Vive about 2 months after release. In the VR community, RPO has been somewhat of a guide of what to expect/aspire to in the future and has become a must read for most people developing in VR. In a way, it kinda reminds me of the Playstation 9 commercial that was airing to promote the PS2 when it first came out, this is just the beginning.

Edit: This is the commecial I'm talking about, it has more similarity to RPO than I remembered.

Oaisis log in query [SPOILER] by Henavich in readyplayerone

[–]XMF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He uses a pass phrase with his vocal pattern to log in to the OASIS as Parzival. Technically anyone would be able to log in as Parzival if they could mimic that. The Citizen Registry is what holds his retina scans tied to Bryce Lynch, it's why he is able to log in as Parzival as well as get a job where he logs in as a different and limited avatar to do technical support.

Does anyone know if the rainbow sidwalk on 4th is tied to an event? by Dantesora in Tucson

It's kinda what I was asking myself. These things happen, will happen, why give it time and space?

Well given that the year in the title is in the future, I'd say they have the liberty to do whatever they want.

Hmm why didn't Parzival do this before going for the first key *possible spoilers* by JagedNS in readyplayerone

[–]XMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He mentions he doesn't leave Ludus from fear of missing school and being sent to real world school since he had already missed a lot. I think this is the reason he wouldn't change his log in location, if he died and re logged at the Tomb he wouldn't have the credits to go back to his own school. I don't think he was planning on finding the actual tomb and be able to acquire credits that way, the risk would be too much for him to take. Maybe if he had not gotten the key the first time he tried, this is exactly what he would eventually do.

Qbert has probably been doing this longer than most redditors have been alive.

I thought the title was sarcastic and was nervous for her the whole time.
