I also didn’t mind the two extra buttons, and was a little sad when they went away, because they were largely replaced by the joystick buttons, which I think are hard to use properly.
Weren’t the black and white buttons replaced by triggers? The joystick buttons already existed in the first XBox.
The original PS1 controller didn’t have joysticks, and when it did, the position sucked for larger hands. I have always preferred the XBox layout.
Right. I meant the second PS1 controller, not the original one. The design changed over the years, but the general specs stayed as the baseline of controllers.
The XBox layout with its six face buttons did not stick, and the XBox 360 conformed with Sony’s design of four face buttons and two triggers. Which makes more sense for shooters (since you have more buttons while keeping your thumb on the right thumbstick)
The entire industry has agreed on a de-facto standard for controllers, which is pretty much the PS1 controller:
You can add things on top of that (trackpads, gyros, making some of these digital buttons analog), but if you don’t have that - your controller won’t work for games that expect these inputs to be available.
If I had to put a date on when this became the established standard, I’d say 2005 or 2006 - the years when the XBox 360 and the PS3 were released, since both consoles had these capabilities (Nintendo kept doing its own thing, and only supported this standard starting with the Wii U). So when the Steam controller was released in 2015 - this standard was already established, controllers for PC made sure to support it - and even PC games stuck to it.
This is why I think the Steam Controller failed - you had to map it. You couldn’t use it like you would a standard controller even if the game was made for standard controllers.
Order of magnitude better. Three orders of magnitudes better once you also fix the misuse of percentages.
No matter where you click, it’ll open some pop-unders for the first few clicks.
People died in concentration camps too - they are still distinct from death camps. There may be death camps in the near future, but there aren’t yet.
Concentration camps are bad enough as is, and calling facilities like Alligator Alcatraz concentration camps has the advantage that it’s the truth - they check all the boxes in the concentration camp definition checklist. If you make stuff up for dramatic effect your argument is no longer factually correct - which means it can be disputed using facts.
Reading the article to see what ridiculous name he’s going to give it.
“The America Party”?
TBH, pretty tame in Musk standards. At least it’s pronounceable.
But then they’d know they are not real ICE agents, which kind of defeats the purpose.
You can’t get a good view of the bombing of Tel Aviv all the way from Iran.
So basically… by being familiar with 4chan the model knows better what not to do?
The Nuremberg trials did not happen because the Nazis were wrong. They happened because the Nazis lost the war.
Blackjack and hookers will be among the most morally acceptable things in that ring.
The fact that they refused to accept the donations before the public backlash says everything. I guess people don’t like it when you mess with their orphan-crushing machine?
This can’t be not satire
Money is like stamina - you usually have much more than you think, but accessing it is not without a serious toll. Extreme example - you can probably sell an organ to cover your debt. And there is a wide spectrum of things you can do before reaching that point, many of them crossing the legal, ethical, and humane border.
The original BNPL creditors are not going to make you do them. They need to be legitimate, customer-facing businesses. But they can sell your debt to collection agencies, which will be more willing to put pressure on you. And if that doesn’t work - there are always gray market collectors to sell it to.
Who said anything about memoirs? The thing about “the memoirs of random people” is not that they were written by non-famous people - it’s that they are about non-famous people.

don’t be a nuisance and make yourself small
That’s the most un-American thing I’ve ever heard.
I’d expect Israel to see the decline at 2024. For Russia I’d expect it to be at 2022. By 2025 these countries probably didn’t see a decline simply because they started from a low baseline.
