Comment on How gamers were nickel and dimed in 80s and 90s (besides arcades)

Yup. But that assistance in retrospect feels like the first time we encountered something alike. It prints faster for you but it needs a constant supervision, so you end up glued to the screen, fixing the results. I recall printing a long word with t9, and it followed me for 6 letters, but completely changed the word at the 7th letter to something else entirely, because it’s dictionary didn’t have my word in it, or it thought it’s not as popular. Less control, more attention, frequent fuck ups. It’s close in UX to what I personally getting now.
