- Comment on Favourite controllers 12 hours ago:
My description of the perfect controller:
- nice size and hand fit
- left joystick is “up” at a natural spot (sorry PS enthusiasts, those low sticks suck)
- buttons are “chicklet” style (Xbox round buttons feel awkward)
- one set of trigger buttons are “throttle” style
- sits on a flat surface without any buttons being pressed
Not sure if there’s one out there that meets all of those. But I have a certain fondness for the GameCube controller. Always felt comfortable, and I actually liked the asymmetric button layout.

If the high-ups at Arrowhead knew and made that decision anyway, it’s squarely on them, full stop.

- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 2 weeks ago:
If home is where your heart is, and I have my honey’s heart, then saying “Honey, I’m home!” makes perfect sense.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
Dual boot is definitely more tricky to get going. I just set up a Windows partition again to play a game that uses Easy Anti Cheat, and it took some time to have everything working happily.

I’ve used both Linux Mint and Manjaro, and my Nvidia card has done fine in both. I switched to Mint from Windows because it was easier and faster to set up under Mint (Windows was missing a bunch of drivers and the OEM’s site didn’t have updated ones). The only configuration I had to do was select the proprietary driver (and Mint has a nice little GUI for that). If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend trying Mint.

- Comment on When you are on a videocall do you also keep looking at your own thumbnail video? 3 weeks ago:
Consider where you look when you’re talking to someone in person. Do you look at them continuously? We generally don’t do that, it ends up being weird and creepy. Our eyes wander as we talk, so it’s natural that we’d do the same during a video call.
And consider this: when your own face is visible to you, when aren’t you looking at yourself? Typically when I see my face, it’s in a bathroom mirror, and it’s natural to look at yourself (whether to take note of your appearance or otherwise).
So I think it’s pretty natural, and I’m guessing lots of people do it.

- Comment on Half of America Makes Less Than 35k 4 weeks ago:
It’s tough because the snopes article moves between individual and household income amounts–which are two very different things. Kinda wish articles were written more clearly, and provided contextual data regarding how many households have multiple earners.

Legal stuff is often complicated because life is complicated. That being said, there are some people who benefit from legal stuff being complicated, and I suspect they do what they can to make it as complicated as possible.
