I likely have some combination of autism / ADHD myself

Should probably stop using that as an excuse, bro. Just try a bit harder on this empathy and knowing-what-you're-talking-about thing. Wikipedia is your friend

Oh no. Anyway.

(Seriously, Chromecast was so fucking awful to use)

I've been hearing reports that "the market is way down" (due to Kamala/Democrats/god knows what else)

And how would you estimate the likelihood of any part of it being... uh, true? What are they basing it on, does it seem to check out with reality?

I mean, surely these allegations wouldn't, in a truly shocking twist, have come from their (notoriously pathologically dishonest) political enemies, right?

I mean, just never. What people eat is a function of what is available/cheap/tasty/trendy at any given time, and I doubt the availability of both ingredients and "ideas" (recipes and techniques globally, trends for better/worse) has ever been higher globally, let alone in "developed" countries.

Yeah, but it's not the gotcha you think it is. The entire right-winger thing is whinging about everything being someone's fault. Particularly de gubmit. Even in cases when they are in a majority in said "gubmit" at the time, and have been for nigh on a decade.

Point is, you are implicitly giving these cretins too much credit in the rhetoric they use. It's not meant to make sense. It's meant to rile up rednecks/whatever-other-relevant-stereotype.

Games should be fun. If you are having fun, you're playing it right. If you are using a feature they put into the game, you can't be doing it that wrong.

It's perfectly fine to be a masochist, but it doesn't make anyone better'n anyone else, or the games better than anything else. Knowing what you like, managing game difficulty, knowing its features and "optimizing" your enjoyment are just another kind of gaming skill. You should never feel pressure to play at harder difficulties than you want, because... why would you? I know "souls culture" is full of screeching 13-year-olds with infinitely long lists of things that make you "nOt a ReAl GaMeR" despite being literally designed and implemented as part of the game, but fuck it: that's why nobody listens to screeching 13-year-olds.

BlockTube makes it possible to hide stuff you've already seen, among other things. Presumably it works by video ID, so thumbs and titles don't matter. If channels keep reuploading the same shit... just unsub, I guess.

N64, and this is the one I actually grew up with. They took a chance, they fucked up by making an alien spaceship three-pronged dildoesque monstrosity, that wore out at mach speed - especially by normal gameplay in certain (coughMarioParty1cough) games. While I have tons of love and nostalgia for N64 and several games on it, it can't excuse the controller itself.

No, and if that is a powerful feeling (not "I'm autistic and see things differently", but "normal reality does not apply to me" somehow) then it might be something to check out with a medical professional.

company that spouts "think different"

Spouted, to be fair. 20-odd years ago.

But still, it is a pretty damn funny bit of irony how it went from that to "everyone must have an iPhone, if you don't you're a loser".
