It's like "plop" - it's the sound of a horse shitting. It's out of frame, but that horse is leaving a steady trail of horseplops behind it like a brown battlefield Hansel and Gretel.

@fullbright @ADAMATOMIC @ID_AA_Carmack : DOOM was made for mouse input, so was Wolf 3D. Keen was expected to use keyboard.
Some games literally don't use a mouse. For instance Baba Is You or The Binding Of Isaac or Shank would, at best, use the mouse for menus. You could play them exclusively with a keyboard but 1) you're giving up analog input, and 2) unless you have a gaming keyboard, some of those games will have horrific keyboard ghosting especially if they have any sort of combos like Shank does.
It failed for multiple reasons, but a big reason was that they tried to outsource the hardware and basically just got reskins of existing gaming-PC prebuilds, which didn't actually make PCs any less confusing. And they didn't actually save money (and some were overpriced scams) so buyers were basically forced to do as much research as buying an actual gaming PC.
All of that will be solved, and the software/UX/other stuff you mentioned are far more mature, like you say.
Pretty sure Lazerpig made a 20min rant video about this exact topic, specifically regarding why Sea Of Thieves sucked as a result of its forced-PvP for PvPers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGWOgMcMJ8c
Regen braking exists, and everyone does want it, because it gives free power when you hit the brakes. The reason nobody adds it is because up until recently, you could only have coasting or regen braking, and not having to pedal literally all the time is just far more important for bikes. There's a recent tech, freegen? Called something like that, it lets you have both regen braking and coasting,
The irony is that they can't, but their greatest weapon is that the people they fight think they can, and flee without even trying. And this post is making the exact same mistake, while also assuming they're invincible. The answer to the post is the post. That or pointing to the post and laughing.
While that's all true, if the US built the solar future then it would also be true of the US. Altruism unfettered by vested self-interest doesn't really exist at a strategic level, and at the end of the day the reasons why we avert planet-scale mass suicide are kind of irrelevant, as long as we get it done.
Being certified as the winner is not the same as being the winner. There's nothing contradictory about both claiming Biden was certified and claiming Biden was falsely certified - so this isn't like the "state's right to what?" thing, finishing the sentence for them doesn't change the statement.
