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.
So basically… by being familiar with 4chan the model knows better what not to do?
I tried. It says there are monsters nearby.

The USSR was the prime example for what happens when communism fails. The USA is the prime example of what happens when capitalism fails. Many of their mistakes are mirror images of each other.
Time travelers already tried and failed. It’s a fixed point in time.
I like the description by a Finn who said: Rust is like a car with automatic, while in C (or Zig) you need to change the gears.
I don’t think this metaphor is correct. The automatic gear’s analogy would be the Garbage Collector, which almost every mainstream language has. Rust’s memory management, in comparison, is still manual. Maybe not as manual as C or Zig - but I’d say about as manual as C++. The difference is not that it has some weird gear-changing (memory cleanup) scheme that does not require human intervention - it’s that it yells at you when you don’t do the regular gear changing (memory management) properly.
<= makes sense if you start from 1.
You think they don’t add anti-cheats to singleplayer/co-op?
If they make the phones smaller they’ll have to make the ads smaller too. Can’t have that.
“North America” is the name of the continent. It can stay.
I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners?
The heck is “instant opt-out”? As opposed to what? Not being able to close the ad unless you buy the product?
He won’t die before releasing Half Life 3, which means he’s immortal.
Are they trying to present it as if poor innocent users need to be protected from the vile ad blockers?
