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.

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.

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.

But your masters do, so you will live without gaming PC. Enjoy subscription streaming gaming from now on.

I can’t tell you how many times I emailed someone last week asking that they don’t send me any sensitive information over insecure channels.

Firefox… I mean, regular old from the app store Firefox… Not even Waterfox or anything, just Firefox.

How did you end up at Brave without knowing Firefox could do all that?

The Latitudes are balls in the worst way. Including the new “Pro” models. I’ve had i7 and i9 Latitudes that are slower than my i5 XPS 13, and yeah that thing sucks too but at least it sucks predictably.

Just keep old computers is all. Eventually your spec will be considered ‘retro computing’ and you can still enjoy the thousands of games that are playable on real hardware.

You posting on the Internet is also useless digital garbage, so put your money where your mouth is and go do something productive.

They even have a part with translated subtitles… You could’ve at least chosen Snatch for your reference for Brad Pitt’s Pikey impersonation.

Work on the backlog! Of what? Anything! My back log of books, video games, hobby projects sitting half finished in my workshop! My boss would stop by and I’d have my soldering iron and extractor fans set up and I’d be like “Yeah, I’m waiting on the phones right now.”
