Clearly, not.

Scam is still a scam. Maybe masochists are taking part in it but it’s still a scam.

Valve makes PC hardware. Consoles are walled gardens. You want to use any controller? Stay on PC or buy a Magic Flash or Brooks.

My Thrustmaster Flight Stick doesn’t work with my Wii U, how dare Thrustmaster not support my choices.

Some membranes feel like mush, the buttons have WAY TOO MUCH travel, and the buttons wiggle as you try to mount them.

Then there are micro switches that immediately give my fingers cramps, click louder than a Cherry Blue switch, and you can never tell if you’ve actually pressed it or not.

For posterity, I prefer membranes as well.

Yeah, but buy a Switch 2 Pro Controller and try to use it on the PS5.

Vendor lock in is bad, don’t get me wrong but, without Steam, PS controllers have always been a pain to get going on PC. I would prefer they push native level OS controllers, even if it’s just a ‘lizard mode’ but I’m sure the track pads make it more complicated.

They learned how to get McDonald’s AI to do their work for them.

Jokes on them, all my PS4 games a FPKG. It’ll never go online.

That normally implies cordial relations between heads of departments. No one in the administration likes anyone else, they like themselves and sucking up to Trump to benefit themselves.

Kash would need to get Trump to get someone else to cooperate and you can’t go running to the boss to clean up your mess when you’re supposed to be cleaning up his!

The XPS 13 I bought like eight years ago will eventually turn to dust just… Watching YouTube videos on my desk.

The battery died five years back so I replaced it.

Dell emailed me to tell me that Windows 10 was out of support, I’ve had Linux on it for years now.

I also have an EeePC.

I will take Palantir’s money and do my best to be the worst I can be at the job they hired me for. I’ll have to donate a sizable portion of the money though…

I’ve got hundreds of hours in Forza Horizon - So I’ll say this, Forza Horizon is an open world exploration game with race events. It does have a big online focus, as the Weekly events structure usually has a few that are online only but you can still have a lot of fun just making the perfect drift car and sliding around the map.

Wooting and Razer had a macro function that allowed Counterstrike players to setup a function to always get counter strafe. Valve decided that was a bridge too far and banned “Hardware level” exploits.

So, Valve once banned a keyboard.

So is Hell, Michigan.

The US (and international coalition) very openly arms the Kurds in Northern Iraq, and through the SDF (YPG and YPJ are DTOs so they can’t technically send to them) in Syria while Turkey shells the aid workers responding to earthquakes. To assume they stop arming the Kurds at the border implies Iran has excellent border security.

An armed Kurdish population gives Turkey something to play strongman against. They know it’s happening.

Vote with your wallet works if everyone agrees with you…

And the amount of people that love gambling makes it clear that most people do not agree with me.

Never been to prison, huh?

State department can’t always evacuate everyone. Can’t spend the big bucks doing an extraction on every American because one building got hit. When the region was getting hot in 2021, state department had like five five-seater jump planes in the area to do everything.

Now you’ve got hundreds of people getting squirrelly and demanding a flight now when the airspace is not looking great.

Okay, rephrasing it then “What are Americans doing in near proximity to a place that has been a war zone for more than 20 years due to US intervention in the region?” and the answer is “Either profiting off of US oil interests or propping up the tourism industry of US interested parties.”

To track when you’re falling asleep or texting or are vaguely Asian looking.

Steam library is at over 2000 games, yet it’s always Arc Raiders, Minecraft, and Peglin. Can’t get them to play a game with an actual story for the life of me.
