But that level of stability would mean no one could make themselves richer!

The thing is: nature will bring the stability anyway. It just won't include us. Sucks that we all have to die because the greediest among us cannot pull head from ass.

To be fair, a lot should make the Christian right feel ashamed. Like, you know, completely ignoring the teachings of Christ so that you can make rich people richer and lick the boots of your oppressors.

This is key. The right vs left, culture wars, even, I suspect, focus on proxy wars -- all of it is meant to distract the people from the fact they have been bought and sold by the rich.

Rich vs everyone else is the conflict to focus. Everything else is distraction. And, what do you know? We The People have a lot in common if we start talking about wealth disparity.

Remember when Kanye "went away" after pro-Hitler comments?

Let's see if Musky goes all the way.

Edit: a ? mark

Try them in an FPS. You may be surprised how much more accurate the trackpad can be for aiming versus an analog stick.

*Partial or no controller support.

Anything which does not have controller support. Civ, for example. Lots of other similar strategy titles. They function as a great mouse replacement. I've even used them for first person shooters, where a trackpad in trackball mode can be more accurate for aiming versus a controller.

The right one, that is. The left is more often used for custom menus.

But the fact remains: you are restricted to games with controller support without the touchpads.

When will literally any media outlet notice that the touchpads are what make the Deck really special?

To his supporters: now imagine if you had thought critically about your boy before voting him into office. It's almost like your desires to be both lazy and correct bit you in the ass, since you seem to love taking the words of a conman at face value.

RIP to a good person.

His supporters generally have a memory span of about 3 days

Yes, I am unfortunately aware of this.

Not a chance in hell.

It does highlight how out of touch those in the gerontocracy are, however.

Ffs. Get rid of the dinosaurs and start over. If the Dems can't do it, maybe it's time for a new party.

Well, they will. Two things drive the trend, in my view:

1. Lack of informed opinions. If you don't know that other options exist, you'll buy whatever because you think it is the baseline.
2. Convenience. This one is a killer. People regularly give up a lot -- even rights -- in the name of convenience.

Between those two factors, it's a hard sell for the average consumer to not support this kind of corpo garbage. A nihilistic view, maybe, but I think it's an accurate one.

In a similar vein, it's pretty easy to show someone that consoles have these needlessly expensive proprietary links, plus games which are very expensive for the same reason. But it is very hard to convince someone that the cool thing they saw on TV isn't, in fact, "cool" because of the aforementioned reasons. And ultimately, people like having cool things, even if that coolness is subjective.

Historically, it's been a push-pull between groups, but everyone has had a different future. Now that things are being consolidated wholesale -- e.g. physical media going out the window because so many are happy to stream and never own anything -- it is more necessary than ever to call out #1 and #2, since the market itself is changing for the worse.

I don't fucking get it.

These are discussions that should be happening before there is a fucking election.

All these "freedom-loving" people who blindly vote for someone and give him carte blanche. That's not freedom.

Not even once

It is intentionally difficult, of course.

The real solution is not to buy the console.

If they make a Connie Refit, I will have no choice.

I hope they don't.

The fact that consoles still get away with this inflated proprietary crap is shocking
