Four is better than two, but two is still much better than zero

Loved the previous steam controller but probably passing on this as it is missing what I think is the killer feature: the rear buttons

Also you can’t fire without cause here, and the burden of proof is on the employer should it be contested. Instead they do this and rely on the cooperation/feeling of obligation/“the implication” to get employees out.

Cinematic was fun, but was not expecting a hero shooter from it. Was a bit deflated when they revealed it as “5 v 5 shooter”

I’m not pissed at this strategy like typical ones, however I absolutely hate having my collection of a series split across platforms and feel like this isn’t the least common idea. Now, if they were to include the older game in with the new one in this strategy or have some sort of cross buy feature for older titles, but this will never happen.

I feel like Steam would make more than 12 billion pounds in the time it would take for a take over to finalize

The article says that they couldn’t find subgroups to show trends, so seems to be pretty flat across the board

So far up his own ass he’s back out the mouth and heading for a second entry

I don’t see the methodology in here, so any influence I could guess is pure speculation. The mentioned lack of strategy games is a possible culprit. This would also prevent people from discovering an interest, as new eyes wouldn’t be on the genre. I’m sure a lot of people discovered they like some RPGs via Baldur’s Gate 3. One I might suggest exploring is that as gaming expanded in audience to different types of people, the new members would proportionately be less interested in deep strategy skewing the average interest as a whole. As a guess, a lot of people who have gotten into gaming via their phone are more interested in things that can be done while focusing on something else or something with a shorter run time than the typical strategy game.

And this is while most people who say the flag can’t touch the ground ignore the other rules in the flag code (that doesn’t apply to civilians) that state that the flag should not be flown on the same pole as another flag, and in the event that it is flown alongside another flag on a separate pole, both flags should be flown at the same height.

A big problem will be that it’d be super easy for an aspiring and talented Mexican dev to just get scooped up by a US company. Brain drain at work.

I don’t know how plausible this is, but a way for trans men and trans women to exchange sexual traits. There might be an answer elsewhere in that there are animals that can change sex in certain conditions so there is some biological evidence of possibility in a singular case. However it seems anti-poetic that we have genetic females who want to be genetic males and genetic males who want to be genetic females and the answer that we currently have as society is for them to go fuck themselves.

I guess for more realistic, then deep dive VR.

It will know the folly of its ways then and pass the information to all children you have post mortem.

Why the fuck didn’t I do this years ago?

Because it is quite hard, especially to get momentum going and OP should be proud of the achievement.

Let’s put a cap on how much excess energy the body can store as fat. Sure, some amount is fine and has a number of uses, but just let me poop some excess calories out. I’d only need more if I were to hibernate.

Thinking on it, I want to hibernate too, please.

While we’re at it from animals, how about upping some of our regeneration? Teeth don’t regrow? Naw, constant regen please. I get too big of a cut and I get a scar? Let’s let everything regrow from being lost if you can survive without it. Also why doesn’t the brain heal? Most important part of the body and each crack’s there for life. Let me get my serotonin back already, slacker.

Also what’s with this getting assigned a gender thing? You don’t even get to know what it means before you have one! And then we build society as if this coin flip was the seed to the tree of life. Let people choose and switch naturally, please and thank you.

They’ll skip 9 as that seems to be Kryptonite to tech. Both Microsoft and Apple decided to skip straight from 8 to 10 with Windows and iPhone respectively.

Not as frequent in posting as he used to be, but Todd in the Shadows is a pop music reviewer who also makes interesting videos talking about the careers and context of one hit wonders and career killing albums.

Every day.

While I’m walking/commuting, I have my headphones in and am listening to something, be it music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Even on days I don’t have anywhere to go I’ll go on a walk for about an hour and will be listening to something the whole time. I’d buy a phone without a camera before I bought one without a headphone jack.

Not who you asked, but I also refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack. I am constantly listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks on my phone while out and greatly prefer using wired headphones over wireless for a number of reasons-

-Bluetooth can be finicky in connection. No matter the pair I’ve used, just the act of walking can make the connection falter at times and there’s no way to fix it

-Bluetooth headphones have a much worse cost/performance ratio than wired when it comes to sound quality.

-I use the mic when taking calls and even a cheap wired mic is dramatically better than any bluetooth one

-Wired headphones don’t have a battery. This is huge for me. I hate, hate, hate it when caught out and my headphones run out of battery. Additionally, batteries put a life span on electronics that I like not having to think about with my headphones.

-Simplicity. If I want to use my headphones, I plug them in. If I don’t, I unplug them. I can quickly switch to a new device when I want to use them on something else. I don’t have to think about what they are paired with at any time or fiddle with it when swapping devices

-Small case, but I like that when I need to take my headphones out for a bit, I can just ease one out and leave it wrapped around my ear rather than deal with the case just to talk to a cashier

This was back in 2007-2008 ish. I believe the Ubuntu version was feisty fox at the time, if that helps.
