A lot of games now still have motion control aiming, you just tilt the controller. Sometimes it’s off by default though. I typically use the stick for big movements and tilt aiming for zeroing in.

You don’t think a function of the temperature from the sun to the earth forms a continuous line? You think it’s piecewise? It’s continuous! Yeah it probably bottoms out to effectively zero pretty quick, but there’s some distance from the sun that would be the right temperature. Sure, the other rays from the sun might not make it livable. Sure, it might be so narrow there’s no way to effectively keep yourself in orbit there without getting sucked closer and burning up. Sure, it’s a dumb thought experiment, but there’s no way there isn’t some point where it’s comfortable.

I really dislike the sound they use for censoring. It’s so annoying. Plus, why make it so loud? I think they genuinely do it to make it seem worse and grab your attention.

Another thing I hate is when the subtitles are censored but not the audio. That’s actually pretty ableist if you think about it. They should match. If the audio is censored, censor the subtitles. If the audio is uncensored, don’t censor the subtitles. It infantilizes people who are hard of hearing as if they can’t handle a swear.

Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.

Define “quickly” and why is it not always immediately after confirmation?

That joke is NSFW, please present facial verification and ID now or you will be banned and reported to the authorities!

Lol imagine the alternative. “Not a big fan of JEW.” 💀

One of my Discord friends has a stalker and can’t get anything but automated messages.

Guilded went to Roblox-only in 2025. I’d never heard of it until someone else mentioned it as an alternative.

☝️🤓 Discord said they’re going to delete the data!

Yes, that’s the one small silver lining one the pile of bullshit this is. Plus you won’t need to do it multiple times anymore.

It comes down to is Discord really deleting it once they’re done and not training on the facial scans.

Your first reply was some age based condescending bull shit

No it wasn’t, you’re mistaking me for someone else.

I’m criticizing you because you were being condescending earlier. Now you’re being ableist.

I disagree, but I could see it being difficult for some folks with thumb problems.

I had this cool PS2 controller that let you swap the positions of the d pad, analog sticks, and buttons. So you could make it like the Xbox layout, left analog on top left and dpad on bottom left. It’d be nice if more stuff like that was a thing. Though I think most consoles have pretty good accessibility settings now and let you do stuff like that (though not as dramatic as moving hardware of course). It could even adjust the tension in the sticks by twisting em.

Elden ring would consistently get ~20 fps on my old computer which I would say had a potato CPU and a good graphics card.

I still don’t get how they ever approved this design.

I think folks telling you things like “you should learn X language before Y language” are not giving you the best advice. I often understand their arguments. The advice is typically “don’t learn X high level language before Y low level one.” But if we need to start lower, where would that advice end? Must someone really understand transistors before writing hello world in Python? No! Absolutely not.

Learning any programming language will make you better at all programming languages. There is no perfect starting place. There is no bad starting place.

Think about it like this. Someone tells you before learning to drive a car with automatic transmission you should learn manual. They say it’ll make you appreciate the automatic transmission more and that it’s easier to go from manual to automatic than from automatic to manual. Well, a more relevant question is do you plan to ever drive a manual on a normal basis. If the answer is no, you don’t plan on ever using it apart from learning how to, why bother? If you ever need to learn it, you can learn it. You’ll be better at driving by then and can focus on shifting gears without having to struggle to also focus on all the rest of the driving things you do (like staying in the lane, going the right speed not hitting people, etc.)

If you only want to learn C just so you better appreciate things in other languages, don’t bother. Learn the language you want to use. If you want to use C, go for it! There’s nothing wrong with it. A lot of folks want to learn both Rust and C because they want to learn both and stick their toes in everything. That’s fine too! Just don’t feel obligated because you think it’s the best way forward.

I want you to go search “is Redbox still in business?”

I FINALLY convinced my wife to use Firefox with uBlock on their phone. We had a YouTube Premium trial for something (I think so we could play some vids at a party without ads) and they loved not seeing the ads. I kept telling them “you know, if you use Firefox in your phone with the uBlock extension to watch YouTube instead of the YouTube app you just won’t get any ads, right? Also it can play videos while the phone is locked.” This finally convinced them to try it for their podcasts.

Why would you not be a fan of your own character? 🥺 You should play characters you like!
