- Comment on Favourite controllers 4 days ago:
N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right... prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was... still pretty awkward.
I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.
- Comment on Dpad vs analog stick 1 week ago:
Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.
Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

What do you mean, "nowadays"? Mobile games always sucked.
- Comment on Capitalists hate competition, especially when it comes to wages 1 week ago:
Oh, no no, capitalism welcomes competition, don't'y'know.
Just as long as it doesn't mess with the profit margins. - Comment on Anon works in a high end restaurant 1 week ago:
I don't see it either, but I'm sure the .ml gentleperson is only too psyched to explain.

It’s disgusting that you endorse discriminating against people
Poor trolling is showing there, 2/10 for the sheer effort of typing up all this bullshit.
lmao

Then go sue them over their lack of Your Particular Setup-compatible wifi, I guess.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 1 week ago:
It's their network that they are offering as a service, if they say no then no it is.

Really more of a middlelord at most.

Yeah, bad faith participation is awesome if you have an excuse.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Have you considered maybe your "participation" is just insufferable even if it weren't blatantly bad faith?

Can only hope they'll get flayed in court, but I sort of doubt it.
- Comment on Is this a 16th-century smartphone? 3 weeks ago:
I think the term "PDA" dates back to about then.

Cyclops are Finnish??
- Comment on Anon misses a potential match 3 weeks ago:
The solution is: don't go on Tinder. If it tried to be even remotely good at its ostensible job, it would put itself out of business. It's all "Match Group" or some shit, they own a lot of the "brands" on the dating market.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
It emphatically does not mean that. Tankies tend to shill for Russia and China (CCP), neither of which is communist or socialist. I don't even mean that in a "no true scotsman" way, they are literally market economies with astronomical wealth inequality.

nothin personnel, kid

This is an outrage.
- Comment on How do genocides happen? 1 month ago:
It's very human, that's why it happens everywhere in history and also in like 4 or 5 different places right now.
We'd like to think we're nice and rational and empathetic, but we're just not as a species.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
Because what is legal and not does not involve all that much logic.

Damn Brunhild, that's just like her.

Yeah, calling pi infinite makes me wanna cry, too.
- Comment on Sometimes when I say danke (thanks or thank you) some of my friends will say (and the spelling is wrong but it's as close as I can get) they will say danata or maybe it's dinata. 1 month ago:
That makes sense. For some reason, I thought it was something like "no reason to do what I did". So basically "Sure, totally no ulterior motives here, by the way!", which seemed kinda weird to me.

"Ah, {countryName} switched out their authoritarian ruler for someone who thought FNV's Caesar's Legion were a pretty cool bunch."

Do you happen to know why it's "keine Ursache"? That is a thing in Danish and Norwegian too ("ingen årsak") and I always thought it was a weird phrase.

"De nada"? Which is really confusing as that is Spanish and "Danke" is from German.
- Comment on What is the cruelest "twist the knife" move or statement by a villain in a film for you? 1 month ago:
Yes, he absolutely could. She had a gag reflex and was choking, clearing her airway would've saved her and he actively chose not to.
- Comment on temperature 1 month ago:
The focus of it is what you are used to.
All scales are basically created equal - they must be, since they measure the same thing and scale the same way. (No pun intended.)
The only difference there can ever be between C/K/F (or R for that matter) is multiplying by one constant and/or adding another.Yanks use Fahrenheit, grow up with it, and see it used every day. Therefore it is intuitive and logical. To them.
The vast majority of people on Earth - about 95% - actually don't, so it isn't.That makes the phrasing and underlying assumption pretty characteristically American, and tempting to poke some gentle fun at.
- Comment on temperature 1 month ago:
How very American.
I suppose it is how people feel, just, y'know, about 4% of people.
