I’m so sorry.

Man, you must’ve thought a whole 2 seconds about that comment.

Got mine basically as soon as they released, and I still use it plenty. I have it set up to be usable as a controller for my PC, and it is by far my favorite controller to use. It’s a dream come true for my controller to become its own console whenever I want.

I think you’re right. But it can be worth it to try to change a mind.

I feel very silly for not realizing it could be my tone-deafedness making it hard to ask questions.

It’s insane to me that the competition can’t compete with the blueprint. I was really hoping that the deck would cause better products to follow, not worse.

Do you have a special interest? Is there a community for it? Start there.

Once my Switch broke and the Steam Deck released, I decided I didn’t want to bother with Nintendo anymore. They’ve been killing their communities for far too long.

Here I am getting migraines so bad I contemplate self- terminating on a monthly basis. Life can be cruel.

Yes, I’ve heard of faith before. Philosophically riveting stuff, I’m sure.

I’m simply here to say you might try being less intellectually hostile. This extends beyond your interaction here. I agree with your sentiment, but you don’t exactly make people want to meet you where you stand. There is no “them” for you to fight. It’s just us.

You’re not really making any meaningful points for me to interact with, and as such I have nothing in myself to defend. You seem to just be really cranky and hostile.

That’s where your downvotes are coming from, by the way. You’re not appealing to reason; you’re more just being kind of a dick.

Something seems to have triggered you. Are you okay?

I’m referring to the bit where we have literal cryptic prompts lol

    "Unveil the hidden truth within the scorching embers.",
    "Decode the whispers of the arctic winds.",
    "Unravel the enigma of thermal equilibrium.",
    "Unlock the secrets of the thermometric realm."

Those cryptic prompts go pretty hard.

I’m considering a second opinion, after a rest period. The process took a lot longer than it was supposed to and stressed me out quite a bit. The person who started my assessment left the company before she could finish, so someone else had to take over, and no one knew this fact. Took months to get an answer. Sigh.

This is unironically me. I just went through a lengthy diagnosis process that determined I do not in fact have ADHD, despite ticking an alarming number of boxes. I call myself ADHD-adjacent now.

There are a few unexplained phenomena in the universe that physicists do little more than shrug their shoulders at. Any of them could be evidence of other life, and there are proposed theories suggesting as much. We can’t prove anything definitively because we’re too limited in how far we can go towards explaining the unexplained, but I’d say there’s an asterisk on “nothing”.

For like a month. Then you need to be important and pay them.

Edit: for the current/legacy API. The new API is free, but limited.

In a capitalist worldview, which is indeed the system we live in, your point makes sense. However, creative endeavors existed well before the ability to profit off of them. If I didn’t want for money in my daily life, I’d still be intensely motivated to create, as it’s one of the few things you can genuinely love doing regardless of if it’s making you money. Being creative is magnitudes more “basic human instinct” than making money will ever be, and I don’t buy for a second that “nobody would create anything” without the profit incentive. I do think that we would have a very different system for sharing our creativity without copyright, and it’d arguably be a better one than what we have now.
