  Yep, not excited for Starfield generated planets type of deal when it comes to dialogues and such.

  And pvp games like The Finals clicking the right pad to switch through gadgets and using the trackpad to quickly turn and activate gyro, and not feeling like my inputs were too slow versus mouse users. And not having to bother with aim assist.

  Mind sharing the setup, please? I’ve played The Finals on my Steam Deck and gave the trackpads+gyro a fair try, but couldn’t land a scheme that made me really comfortable and let me perform well at the same time - lots of unintentional clicks as well as not pressing shoulder buttons to activate the modifier.

  Having a trackpad act like a touch-sensitive dpad with gyro felt very close to perfect, though. Just couldn’t tweak the entire scheme well enough.

  Well, it’s nice that you have landed a higher-paying position afterwards. Which I hope is better in other ways, too.

  I certainly don’t feel better about this kind of crap just because it’s not a once-in-a-lifetime event.

  Somewhat typical for type of work that has a clear end in sight. And they typically never tell about the project-based plans in mind. Sorry you had to go through this.

  Had something like that when I automated stuff for a small company.

  Genuinely, is there a good outlet that’s easily available in text that is not like that? Preferably with proper full-body RSS.

  Difficult to read about my beloved hobby in this hyper-monetized culture.
