Well at least this surely will be easily disabled and then not keep re-enabling itself when Windows forgets its own settings every couple weeks(!)

I wouldn’t be too comfy with b) either, as it sounds like a complete unicorn. At best, it’s hard to know the “quality” of that backing and even then there are ethical and legal liabilities.

“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.

To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.

Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.

Nah. The pattern is cool as hell though.

So don’t?

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

This place is noticeably more anticorporate - which makes sense because corporations tend to be dicks - and leftist. Enshittification is a fairly apt term for what goes on.

handwaved it away as perfectly normal and expected

“Yes, but space is boring and therefore it’s realistic” is still one of my favorite excuses for a game.

Nothing at all, if it’s been maintained and “upkept” much better than theirs has. But, y’know.

Starfield is starting to seem pretty spackled together, and the engine was already sort of infamous for bugs. It’s not just BSW being sloppy about content (although they are), it’s also the engine and tooling. The CKs tend to look… grim.

What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.

Absolutely essential. SponsorBlock is very nearly as important, and BlockTube also does a lot of annoyance damage control.

It’s so much waffle it sorta doesn’t even matter. Super dodgy site.

AI generated or just crap? You decide!

“You’re welcome” was always taught to me as the proper thing, but sounds slightly stilted. They express the same sentiment, roughly, but “[it was] no problem” is arguably clearer about it. I personally just think it’s a slightly “nicer” nuance.

Of course, sometimes maybe it actually was a problem, and then I’d only say it if going out of my way to be nice about it.

I’d assume they were trying to pimp me to some buzzwordoholic. I don’t see any reasonable interpretation of it that’s insulting, though.

Having it be (perceived as) the norm is absolutely stupid - but the issue is with ignorant management and recruiters, not people who get into entire stacks honestly for fun or profit.

So where in Florida was this?

Damn, I hate it when bathroom supplies don’t available.
