Okay, I'm going to need this one explained to me.

I'm going to start with my most played game and work backwards from there. So... K for Kerbal Space Program.
Maybe not the best choice in terms of number of games but I'd still get stuff like
Probably others, but obviously not as extensive as a letter like S or T. Still I would probably opt to pick the letter with my favorite game of all time in there than one that just gives more options.
Sega Saturn and Dreamcast also probably factored in. They weren't nearly as successful as the Genesis. With even established brands floundering it's no wonder people didn't think the Playstation would work.
Ah, yup. You are correct. For some reason I thought they came before.
I saw this Lemmy post and then bought Balatro and started playing it. Afterward I was browsing Lemmy, saw this post again, and was reminded I had more Balatro to play. I'm stuck in an infinite loop.
Okay, I have to wonder... what is the point of shoving ads down user's throats all the time? Ads make me NOT want to purchase something. If I see ads for a product it just makes me hate that product. If a product pushes ads I hate that too.
Yeah, you make some good points. But I'm also wondering if it isn't the advertising companies themselves who are perpetuating the idea that all this super aggressive advertising works to sell more advertising. After all, they tout targeted ads as some new must-have evolution but as far as I am aware targeted ads haven't been shown to be any more effective than contextual ads. And maybe not everyone has the luxury to actively avoid purchasing products that annoy them with ads. But I definitely agree that it's never worth the sacrifice.
I can see it working when you otherwise have NO brand recognition whatsoever, but seeing ads for, say, TikTok on YouTube every 30 seconds isn't going to convince me to get a TikTok. I'm never going to be "gee I wonder what short form video content provider I should subscribe to" and even if that somehow miraculously DID happen, I'm going to research my decision and not just arbitrarily make a decision based on a notion I might have heard about a product one time months/years ago. Maybe if I didn't have a computer in my pocket at all times where I could get unbiased reviews on demand that would work but definitely not in modern times. But apparently I'm in the minority.
"Your call is very important to us... but not so important that we would actually do anything about it like hiring more representatives. This message will repeat every 5 minutes until you get frustrated and hang up."
Right? At best their argument is "I was too stupid to make the right decision for myself therefore no one should be able to make the decision for themselves"
Nah, seems to be an episode of The Boys with a mute character who uses sign language. So she signs i"I hate you" in a scene and it gets subtitled. But it doesn't use the normal CC code as it's a special case. And the code is buggy so it's really easy for the subtitle to not clear off the screen and since it isn't the normal subtitle/CC system it can't be controlled that way. Fun times!
Omg that was such a good watch. Thanks for sharing.
Now how much force does it require? That is up to the trigger spring. Some jurisdictions like NY force glocks to have a really heavy trigger pull but as far as I am aware there is no data supporting that it makes them any safer. I will say if I had to criticize the glock, it is that you need to pull the trigger to disassemble the weapon. Of course you should only be trying to disassemble it after you've cleared any rounds from the chamber but it is one minor flaw with the design and one reason why the glock wasn't eligible to become the US Army's sidearm.
