There is a certain type of people that absolutely hate public transit, because its the evilbad socialism.

So they do everything in their power to sabotage it and make it as awful as possible, with the ultimate goal of selling it off to one of their pals and privatize.

Really need Theodore Roosevelt to rise from his grave and start taking his big stick to all the big, monopolistic companies again.

its a fucking tragedy theres no one making decent dumb TVs anymore. But dumb TVs last longer cause they dont run as hot or are as complicated… and disposable society needs products to burn so they can churn for extra profit.

Which is supremely funny, because the religious states always have the highest porn consumption. Which I guess means they wont get many customers.

if they are so concerned about children, how about doing something about the mormon church and the fucking horrible crimes that are committed against women and children in it?

Who hurt you?

altavista, lycos, infoseek, ask jeeves… i feel old.

I didnt realize ask.com was still around.

Iremember when it launched… another relic of the old internet.

For serious, tho: people change. I don’t expect mega corporations to ever change for the better.

at the very best, they can, on occasion, do something thats accidentally good.

But that never really meaningfully alters the trajectory of evil.

If Microsoft wants to win users back, the only way to do that is by re-releasing Windows 7, and make a legal contract to never add spyware, monetization, adware, AI, service accounts to install/log in to the PC, or anything else to it.

Windows 7 was the peak of their capabilities. everything before that was building up to 7, everything after was a series of missteps and fuckups.

But thats never gonna happen.

Wurm Unlimited is the privately hosted server version of WO. Anyone could set up a WU server and run it how they wanted as far as map size, mobs, mods, skill gain/action timer speed, etc etc.

It was very attractive to anyone who didnt want to play on Wurm Onlines geological time scale. It was mostly 1:1 with content and updates with WO too, until development was abandoned like…6? years ago? or so.

It was super attractive to anyone who didnt want to drag ass on the glacial speed that WO progress is based on. Typical servers ran 3x skill timer/action speed… Which made the game much more playable, as a good balance between WO’s glacial speed, and the “Just start people with 99 skill cause theres no point” speeds that a rare few servers ran.

I had many years of great fun playing it… but every server I ever played on eventually imploded due to staff/admin drama… and no, i was not on the staff or admin of any of them, was just a player caught in the crossfire

So…what… you played CS:GO for a weekend? :p

I have 4000 hours in Wurm Unlimted as tracked by steam. A fantastically wonderful game, that was sadly abandoned by developers, and even more sadly doesnt seem you can find a stable server for anymore because the servers are either weird, scummy places, or eventually implode due to weird admin dramas.

I have two other 1000+ hour games as officially tracked by steam, that i wont mention because i need to pretend it didnt happen for my own sanity, lol.

beyond this are older games that I know I have more time in, but steam was really buggy at the time about tracking played time… like TF2, which I’m sure is my actually most played game, because you can’t play that game 5 hours a night, almost every night, for 5+ years, and only have 700 hours played. My real played time is probably in the 5 digits.

Arma 2 (for original DayZ mod/DayZero/Epoch) is probably up there in the 5 digit range too, if steam tracked time properly.

my main PC controller used to be a DS3.

Now its a Dualsense for PS5. The DualSense is grossly overpriced, but i managed to score it on black friday with a coupon that made it only like…35 bucks, 40 shipped.

i mean…this is one of the many reasons why controllers typically can be turned off/ auto turn off after like 5 minutes of inactivity or something

and people would probably still offer to buy the panties they wear.

Interesting they basically made a dualshock controller with two trackpads instead of one. wonder why they kept the dual track pads?

Or just a keyboard with a track pad built in.

not for gaming, of course, just for navigating the OS. keep the controller for t3h ga3mz

Its easy to do, especially recently, where it feels like theres a year of bullshit in the news every week.

Change my mind: Xbox-X controller are best controllers.

There is no absolute best controller, because everyones hands and preferences are different.

Xbox may be best, for you, and thats fine, its great you have a controller that fits your hand comfortably and plays well.

but, for example, for me? Dualshock/Dualsense controllers fit my hands better, and are more playable, because I prefer the symmetrical joystick layout, vs the asymmetrical of Xbox/Switch Pro.

I’m sure theres someone out there where the SNES style 8bitdo works and feels best for them, too.

I think we can, however, universally agree on prices being too expensive for all of them.
