Kinda a niche thing but I'm always happy to share stuff like this. Microsoft has essentially a half controller you can buy for 30$ as an accessibility tool for gaming and apparently it works fairly well www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/...

I haven't really said this to anyone but to continue my long-standing tradition of posting my problems publicly on the Internet from the bathroom at work instead of talking to family or doctors: I'm pretty sure I have memory issues that probably arise from COVID and I'm really scared about it

If there has ever in human history been a police officer or other first responder who responded to a call fast enough to save someone from choking I would like to hear about it

Hey so this is the same PSA I post or think about posting several times a week but if you are in a store still shopping after it is closed you are an asshole and there's no way around it. This goes for restaurants too and pretty much everything else too. Go home. Nobody fucking likes you.

I still think 48-hour detentions without a hearing are too long. Americans are far too comfortable letting other people be detained without a legally sufficient reason.

"I've read all about it but no I'm not going to tell you where because I don't actually care about helping people understand what's going on I just want to tell you how I'm better than you for knowing something you don't"

There's a bit of a chicken and egg problem here but we gotta be close to triple a gaming on high performance ARM based mobile hardware soon right? Like basically a more ergonomic version of strapping a controller to your phone but you could play all the newest shit?

I found out that no man's sky has cross save which rocks so I started playing my switch save on my PC but then I went to play on the switch again and I can't because the PC is on a more recent version of the game? So now I can't play my save on the console I primarily want to play it on

I know I'm a real minority because I'm never allowed to be upset by the horrible shit happening to me and my cadre.

Maybe, just maybe, it's impossible to hold power over millions of people and also be a good person. Maybe we were never meant to be ruled.

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

This is absolutely true and I hope every sensationalist journalist who put us back in this situation never sleeps again. Propagandists have blood on their hands

I'm not even gonna get into the 50501 shit because honestly everyone who actually understands the situation in the broader picture could tell at a glance that organization has no fucking clue what they're doing and they were always going to get people hurt. My the fallen rest in peace.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

we're going to win, but a lot of trans people are going to die first, and i am feeling so much grief about that fact this morning

NYT, holding us underwater: "You'd run out of air slower if you stopped kicking so much"

was there no other way to phrase this

yes they are. they are christians and you have to deal with that

A handheld Nintendo Console that is a marginal but noticeable improvement upon its predecessor with the backdrop of an unnecessary war in the middle east predicated upon the shaky premise of the existence of weapons of mass destruction? Welcome back, Gameboy Advance SP.

Same energy

Damn those 10 green marbles seem pretty significant in this situation if I'm being honest. Better do everything you can to get them on your side if you wanna win methinks

The problem with "just nominate centrists and tell people to vote for the lesser evil" every time is that: If you're one of the people thrown under the bus by the "lesser evil" the evils are actually equal

So we all know that the steam boxes aren't actually going to come back until they convince FPS devs to make anti cheats work on linux right? They could compete in the modern console market ONLY if they can support popular multiplayer FPS games. It's just a reality of the market.
