They were much too big for my thumbs (going off the theme of the Deck in general being made for hands clearly bigger than mine). Too tall, too wide on top, and while I never had to deal with any drift - the deadzones suck to play games with. I keep a gamepad at my desk for racing and flying games and I switched it to a hall-effect gamepad about a year ago and I’ve never looked back. Potentiometer-based joysticks just feel like garbage in comparison and I think are inexcusable to use in a highend gaming product these days. I ended up using the touchpads instead for many things.

Poor ergonomics is actually a large reason why I sold my Deck. It is quite heavy and clearly made for hands bigger than mine, which made holding it for more than 20 minutes quite uncomfortable. Also the joysticks are just awful, awful, awful awful awful. Id say a hall-effect stick mod is basically mandatory.

“Load up and play” is a very loaded statement. When I tried it, about a year ago, it was a buggy, glitchy, crash-prone mess that ran like deepfried garbage.

Buying a game post-launch:

• Better prices; often on sale.
• Fixed and patched up.
• Extra content often included.
• DRM often removed.

No brainer, imo.

This is what got me about the RTX 50 series cards from Nvidia. People with 4090’s getting upset at the prices and lack of supply as if they must purchase one.

And then sending those “perfect” children off to die in their many wars.

It isn’t. Not yet, at least.

Most Americans still have jobs, can afford food, can find food, and have their cars and homes. Some have lost some of the former, it’s true, but not enough to ignite any real change.

Imagine a scenario of Trump enacting martial law and beginning to mass arrest and imprison US citizens in detention camps. Not immigrants, refugees, or tourists - actual US citizens taken from their homes. Imagine the US government gathering troops on the Canadian border. Imagine the government disappearing members of the Democrat party. Imagine the government enacting a China-styled internet blockade.

Those are the things that will likely spark some kind of call for change.

So just like how the original was at launch too.

I am largely happy with how faithful the remaster is, warts and all, but this is something they should’ve included as an optional checkbox in the settings.

Depending on how the remaster goes, Skyblivion might still be the better game.

I enabled the setting to hide bots in my user config. They’re annoying wastes of space on Reddit and the few I’ve seen here are the same.

There are. It’s just the US is a large car-centric country which makes travel difficult and the ruling party controls almost all of the media and thus there is a media blackout on protests.

Using generated frames so you can have an even faster frame rate of blurry and smeared frames and godawful raytraced jittering shadows.

Oh nice. New enemy types and combat mechanics! That’s something the game badly needed.

So what will it be this time? Massively overpriced? Zero stock? Burning power connector? Missing ROPs?

Maybe all of the above?

Fish do too. Fish have pressure sensors down the lengths of their bodies they use for navigation, sensing prey and predators, and communicating.

My gouramis are making clicking noises in their tank as I type this. Love those things.

Myths like this have always made me kinda angry. Anybody that has owned fish for more than a few days could easily say that this isn’t true at all.

But aside from that - animals simply wouldn’t exist if they were that stupid. The world is a dangerous place, especially underwater. Not having even basic memory and pattern recognition would be a one-way flight to extinction.

Even worse: Cow tools.

The Convoy being a rights movement was a skin-deep excuse for what it actually was. It did not take long at all before it turned into a general anti-vax fascist movement that saw significant funding and support coming up from the US.
