Sorry, it's aggravating to see people complain about bottle lids and not seeing what the bigger problem behind is.

We created this mess and now the least bad thing in this literal pile of garbage gets labelled 'mildly infuriating'.

You're coming up with a sarcastic exaggeration (barrels and glasses), followed by "serious question". So which is it now?

Anyway. How about refillable cups, travel mugs, returnable bottles? Stop buying bottled water if your tap water is fine. Get a soda maker if you like sparkling water or Spritzer. Clean up after yourselves, return or throw away bottles with the lid on.

And first and foremost: stop buying packaged and bottled sh*t at every possible occasion. Things like single-use / to-go cups or bottles shouldn't even exist.

We all created the landfills and ocean garbage patches and now we complain about our own stupidity, unable to drink from a bottle with a lid attached to it like we're toddlers.

If you seriously ask me for an alternative: stop creating waste. Stop complaining about your waste. And stop complaining about regulations that try to limit waste that shouldn't even be there. Big part of the problem stems from our own laziness and consumerism. Everyone is part of the problem, nobody wants to be a part of the solution. What did you even expect?

It's a conventional GameSir controller that has a Switch mode among others. The split design of the Joycons rarely plays out, most of the time it makes the controllers unnecessarily complex and thus expensive IMHO.

My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.

Hot take: Nintendo Switch Joycons. They're a nice and clever concept but in reality they're bad.

Too small even for casual games. The Wiimote was much better at it.

Very expensive at 80 € per set. Yes, you get two of them but in most games outside of Mario Kart you also need both. And even then they're fine at best.

4 out of 4 of my controllers got stick drift. Nintendo had to be sued into repairing them.

If everyone had either stopped buying bottled beverages or cleaned up after themselves, this wouldn't be an issue.

Also, y'all sound a little whiny. This isn't even a first world problem.

Ah I missed the age gap.

Would this guy qualify as an OUTER JOIN? (Sorry, SQL is not my native language)

Guy with a belly asks for girl with a small waist. The half-assed ugly shirt will do it.

Instant woman repellant.

BOTW is a beautiful game. But the complex controls and the fact that all weapons simply break would have had me sinking hours over hours into the game.

You *have * to try Blood and Wine. Simply put, it makes up for everything before it. The bright, warm, Southern France -inspired map, great quests, and finally a homestead.

Try Witcher with some QoL mods, like easier fast travel, auto harvesting, auto-applying of oils. Everything that lets you play the game instead of plucking flowers all day.

They compare platforms from time to time, mostly indirectly. Android gets a mention concerning OS version fragmentation.

That's it, for Apple the mere mention is already too much. Why would anyone want compatibility if they also just could buy an Apple product?

Also the reason why ipads and Vision don't support multiple users: not only should you buy an Apple product, but so do your partner, parents, kids, etc.

Because they don't know the difference. People don't tend to use expressions or sayings wrong on purpose. Most never investigate the meanings or etymology, they're using them and are understood by the like-minded.

Hit it!

Haven't seen a video of any of these, did I really miss out?

Why not make it public domain? They're millionaires or even billionaires already anyway. And Queen also had essentially no new musical output since exactly the day Mercury died. All they did was grabbing every tape with Freddie's voice on it and sell it.

Depends. Where I live even signed contracts can be deemed illegal in parts if a clause is still seen as unexpected or surprising for the customer.

If Google included a clause that states the customer loses a kidney to them, wouldn't make it legal just because it's written there.

I don't defend the situation, I get along with it. Is it not possible for some people to have an issue with a product and still be able to use it?

Launchers aren't perfect, not even Steam as the pack leader. But they're a **minor inconvenience **.

I haven't got a single game installed that uses nearly as few resources as all the launchers. Mass Effect LE alone is around 100 times bigger than Steam on my drive. That's not bloatware, that's a mini tool in comparison.

Curseforge/Overwolf takes less than 500 MB of RAM, when I launch Minecraft through it the game takes 20 times the amount.

Tell me where the problem is. If your computer can run and install the game it can do so with the launcher too. Some of us can deal with that even if it's not a perfect situation.

Good grief just read and reflect on the first sentence of my previous post.

I don't claim it's not an issue and yes I can ignore it perfectly.

Compared to what amount of resources most modern games require, a launcher or store app needs a tiny fraction of that. The issue is overblown IMHO.
