  • Why vertical? That’s definitely the worst part. Maybe for DS games, I guess. The SP always gave me cramps for its thin design, and I’d hate to hold my phone with both hands.

    Back when I was still buying new phones every time my old phone broke (so about 11 years back) I always liked the idea of a slide-out controller instead of keyboard for a touchscreen (just any modern) phone. Sony did the Xperia Play way back when, and if I was looking for a new phone at the time, I’d have gotten it. Nowadays I don’t even think they make the slide out keyboard phones. The next best thing I had was a little phone brace at the top of a bluetooth controller. It games great, but you it isn’t nearly as fast nor as portable. And even then I haven’t used it in a long time.

    If I did still use it, I’d probably want one of these, and I think the price seems good. But I would also definitely look for a horizontal product, first.


  • I do agree with the general idea of what you are saying, however I do not think it really applies to what the original commenter or the article/post we are replying to are saying.

    When it comes to politics and making changes that impact our future, we are playing a really stupid game always putting people in charge that feel zero consequences for poor, shortsighted decisions. In many cases, the shortsightedness of the decision actually benefits them, as they won’t be around for the consequences. In our current plight, that happens to largely be the boomers.

    Alternatively, using your example, a (theoretical, statistically weaker) woman works a physical labour job, any consequence is felt immediately. If she can perform her job, then she isn’t too weak to… perform her job, I guess.

    I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t see it as bigotry to assert that we should have the groups invested in our future making those decisions. Eventually it isn’t the statistical chance that the boomers aren’t capable of doing the physical labour (or work in general), but instead the totality of the boomers being too old to work.



  • Assassin’s Creed Rogue was a hidden Black Flag 2 that came out when Assassin’s Creed Unity came out (Unity was a new engine for new consoles, but Rogue was a throwaway remix of the older game for 360 and PS3).

    I recently went back through Black Flag because Ubisoft added Steam achievements to a select list of their old games, which I’m a sucker for. The game was fun to play again, tons of fun, so I’d imagine Rogue would be good, too. Although I have a friend that likes Black Flag that swears that Rogue was boring.

    Although, a warning, Ubisoft cucked me in getting achievements because they actually removed DLC from the clients. You actually cannot play them without modding, and even then I’m struggling to get content that I paid for. That’s a small portion of the game if you don’t care about achievements, but it’s still something to watch out for, ESPECIALLY if you plan on purchasing the game. They sell Freedom Cry, one of Black Flag’s DLCs, separately now (might/might not have sailing in it).
