There are countries that are probably more aware of the connotations through their connection to the US, I figured.

Being cringe is enjoying things that people think is embarrassing or lame. If someone likes Sonic the Hedgehog enough to wear sonic shirts every day, should they stop wearing them because it’s “cringe”?

Yup, my cat will sit at the bathroom door and guard me whenever I use the restroom or take a shower and she has her own little cat bed next to my pillow so she can sleep by me at night.

Nah, cats can be just as dedicated to their owners as dogs. I think they just have different body language that most people aren’t really as in tune to as with dogs.

For example, when cats glare at you with a kind of disinterested look, blinking slowly etc., that’s actually an expression of trust for cats. I know my cat also gets extremely excited to see me every time I come home and hangs out on the porch with me after work each day.

Covid was great for rich people though, all the richest people got so much richer during covid.

Can I ask where in the world you live? Not to be rude but just that I’m curious because this is one of those things that “everyone knows” in the US at least. Can’t listen to a lot of rap music without hearing it a lot!

It works surprisingly well, most 2D fighting games are just doing 8 directional movement anyway, so it can make a lot of inputs easier actually

Idk, anything that does what a keyboard does for gaming will basically just end up being a keyboard honestly. If you want a set of easily accessible, customizable buttons for a videogame, what better than just a whole board filled with them really. I think that KBM has stuck around so long is that it is just a great way to play a lot of games.

My main point is just that I don’t think a lot of people are “tolerating” keyboard controls like you initially said.

You can technically get analog keyboard switches for your WASD movement and such, but afaik it’d be quite expensive and require a fairly customized keyboard to pull off. But it can be done!

Also I love having extra mouse buttons for all my modifiers. I use mine in WoW to access all my hotbars without moving my hand to press any modifier keys on the keyboard, really nice setup.

Nah, mouse and keyboard is great for a lot of things. Strategy games, most MMORPGs. Heck even fighting games are actually really nice on a keyboard if you can get used to it, you can do very complicated movements by just pressing a few buttons, the actual analog input is actually completely unutilized in most fighting games anyway.

Having such a precise control over the buttons you press as well as having such a large amount of them is really important to a lot of games. And honestly even if we made a unique controller to replicate this precise input, we would still end up using a keyboard anyway because you can actually type messages on it, too.

What does Ubisoft have to do with this?

I had it pop up while I was in the middle of a raid boss in WoW, lol

Tbf I’m fairly sure this is an old post, could’ve been from years ago

Well, they might imagine one specific crucifixion

A code for the game on Steam? They still get their cut

I find it interesting how the Mongolian empire has kind of taken a 180 in its historical image. Not long ago they were viewed as just cartoon villains that destroyed everything. But now you see so many people talking about some of the “good” aspects that it almost makes them seem strangely benevolent.

The reality of course was that they were an empire, and like all empires they steamrolled and destroyed anything that stood in their way while taking advantage of anything that furthered their goals. They probably killed far more people than they helped if you asked anyone living through the time.

Dan Carlin’s podcast, Hardcore History, has a series called Wrath of the Khans where he talks about this in length and it’s very interesting to think about.

Theyve been dumbing down systems since before Skyrim honestly, it’s been the consistent complaint ever since Morrowind came out.

It is absolutely terrorism. When the pagers went off most of the people hit by them were in plain clothes, including a child, people were just seeing other randomly exploding and are adding strain to hospitals. This is a terrorist attack.

What he did was play on linux. You can have kernel level support for anti cheat on Linux so they look at that and see it as “suspicious” then ban.

Yo, that’s exactly what my house key looks like
