Assuming it's just like a Steam Deck without the screen, how would that compare to popular controllers like consoles first-party ones or 8bitdo's offerings?

Get a Nintendo console. Nintendo Games are absolutely a gateway drug. They're high quality and generally very easy to get into.

Liberal and leftist are both very vague terms with several definitions that place them both in very different places in the political spectrum.

You should just use other, clearer terms.

Come to think of it, I've heard that all my life but never questioned it. Is it really true for all of them?

Why would used games cost more than new ones?

Well they don't know know, but there are signs. For one, we fill in timesheets, and lying on them is a no-no. I could probably get away with stretching the truth a little, but if they notice I only commit between X and Y time, or that I'm seldom available for developer questions at a particular time, they might get suspicious and investigate my hours.

As for overtime... Well I think how companies handle it is they don't actually ask us to stay late; they just give us unrealistic targets that kinda require overtime unless you're a god if we ever complained they'd say they never asked for us to stay late.

We used to be able to accumulate time indefinitely and take time off according to the bank of extra time we'd worked, but once, someone accumulated hundreds of hours and just left on an unplanned vacation for nearly a full month and they really didn't like that. So now, you need to work your quota (which you can have them adjust to your capabilities; 30, 35, 40...) on average every month. So, sure, I can work only 20 hours one week, but that's 15 hours of extra time I need to do within that month.

And if you have extra at the end of the month, well, that's lost.

Which sucks, because I used to use those as sick days over the legally required two paid ones we get per year; my health isn't exactly resplendent.

According to the dictionary, 抜き打ちnukiuchi and 抜き付けnukitsuke sound like synonyms. I'm a little confused.

I guess with uchi (to strike down) vs tsuke (to put, attach, etc) one sounds more like the result and the action but it's weird that the definitions from Jisho.org aren't too explicit.

That sounds dumb. :(

Interesting! I didn't know there was a movie. The version I saw on stage was even more over-the-top (very stereotypical gay coded)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised it isn't a thing in some countries but ... Come on. :(

I'd have expected ad providers to catch on pretty quickly that there's cheating involved, no?

Wait it was? How are we still seeing it and commenting on it?
