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.
Got rid of (most) social media. Even only reading about its toxicity makes me uncomfortable.
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.
No, too easy. I'd only accept bets on how much of what material is found - like "31 Terabytes of furry porn" or "452 illegal WW1 weapons".
Flabbergasted!
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.
M83. "Hurry up we're dreaming" may not be perfect but it's a great album all their other stuff pales in comparison to.
"Wolfmother" by Wolfmother. Period.
"Cruelty and the beast" by Cradle of Filth, although they had a good run around that time.
"Origin of symmetry" by Muse. It is the almost perfect sweet spot between too rough and too polished in their discography.
"Seeds" by TV on the radio.
"Boy King" by Wild Beasts.
"Passage" by Samael was peak song writing and composing. A text book concept album. Brilliant.
"The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi. Absolute banger, not an album though.
General Streck: 'Very well, let me know if there is any change in his condition.
[hangs up]
He's dead.'
If there's one thing I don't need from a TV, then it's low latency. The pause, rewind, and skip functions are some serious stuff, on the opposite.
Self-checkout and self-scanning are great when done right.
I only need to pack my groceries into my shopping crate once with the hand scanner. Or when buying only a few items, I skip the lines and scan them myself, pay with my phone, done.
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.
If a video title or headline claims that there is one single reason for xyz then most of the time it's clickbait.
"Sounds like neither of you watched the video. "
That's. The. Point. I neither watch videos nor read articles that suggest having boiled down a more or less complex topic to 'the real reason (singular)'. Maybe it's bad wording, maybe it's on purpose. I'll never know.
I have a simple trick how to distinguish both:
Figurative means Figurative. Literally means literally.
You're welcome.
You aren't happy with your selection of free software and still have the audacity to call the people behind that names? You didn't even read the article did you.
Be a "decent" person yourself and start your own browser. We'll happily judge.
Came here to say the same-sung.
They compare platforms from time to time, mostly indirectly. Android gets a mention concerning OS version fragmentation.
My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.
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.
I died three times in a row directly before reaching the first shelter and Alt-F4'ed out.
Until then the game just couldn't pull me in. The dialogue and characters were just bland, foreseeable, two-dimensional.
Some of the puzzles are fun though and the tutorials are disguised well.
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.
It was so in the football world cup of 2014 IIRC. Outside was public screening and they had a sat dish while we watched a delayed stream. We could hear the goal seconds in advance. But that's an edge case.
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'.
Oh you mean replace. Swap means (for me) to switch from one battery to another on the go. Of course, replacing batteries in any appliance should be easy and cheap. Maybe not necessarily being performed by the customer.
He only wanted to make sure that no one else could fly his shuttle.
I'm conservative on this one. I like the versions with Anne-Sophie Mutter and the one by Europa Galante the most. Interpretations can be so different, I'm content with that.
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.
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.
You mean both hands have to grip one controller opposed to having a Joycon in each hand? That split-design can be an advantage, but IMHO doesn't cancel out the shortcomings of the Joycons. I find them still too small and not grippy at all.
Sorry I misunderstood. And literally followed up with a clarification so what's the problem
Why? I changed my bank like decades ago and have a free account ever since. IIRC a 'real' credit card would cost a fee, and unlimited cash withdrawal too, but I think that's it. I don't use either.
I think it's one of the albums that "just click" and then you try to discover more of that great stuff and it doesn't work. There's this mood and vibe in the album I couldn't find in the others.
that’s the point I was making: anectdotal evidence is not evidence, it’s opinion. have a nice day.
What I wanted to say is that a car's quality doesn't solely depend on if it's got touch or physical controls but on **how ** good or bad they're done. OP overly generalised that.
Does your car have the rocket launcher button directly next to the volume knob or what do you mean with life and death?
Why is it "hardly an answer"?
Getting everything you want at any time is part of the reason why the planet's dying. Consumerism is not sustainable. Just one example: one wants a coffee and isn't at home. Solution today: get a single-use plasticcy paper cup of coffee with an optional packaged portion of sweetener and / or cream, a plastic stirring thingy, and a plastic lid. All that goes to waste because people were led to believe that a "paper" cup is good for the environment. It isn't.
Often my cats get more expensive food than me.
Why swap a 10 day battery anyway? What's the use case here? I mean in the last decade I had not a single phone die on me with an empty battery. That's one day battery life or more, so why 10 days and have it (hot) swappable? I understand that on a hike or while camping outlets and wall chargers are off limit. But there are so good alternatives to having an immensely dense battery in the phone that you don't also have to carry all the time.
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?
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.
