Yep, it's just a bit frustrating really. All they need to do is throw in some extra keycaps into the box.

I just cannot do ANSI. there is no reversing 30 years of muscle memory.

Edit: I mean, I can do ANSI. and other layouts - I have an original Famicom keyboard I love. But for daily use, especially work...no.

I was shown it by a mate, along with soulseek, in like, 2006 or so when in sixth form. It was way better than what I was using at the time (IE)

At least that's what I remember, pretty sure that was the date. I remember soulseek was before by a bit actually as we used it for trading At the Drive In and Mars Volta tracks

I've carried on using it because of plugins, adblocks, privacy, etc.

I literally came here to say this

It's so obviously fake, yet exactly the kind of thing my mum would see on Facebook and believe.

And what about bottles of alcohol, toiletries and meat to be sold at the local pub?

Yep, people here seem to be totally misunderstanding and overestimating how much the average person knows about tech.

I work in a role where I have to help clients sometimes access their reports via a portal. The clients ages range from 20s to their 80s, some very successful, some less, all intelligent at least. The amount of times I have had to explain what a browser is....or how to type in a URL ("but I just type the address in the Google thing!', searching for a fucking URL), and the absolute fucking basics.

My daughter is 12 and has just moved into secondary school. She's commented that a lot of her class in IT cannot use a computer. They do not know how to use a filesystem, how to use a mouse or even a keyboard as they've grown up with iPads/phones and being able to bash in what they want into the first screen they see.

I have no issues with the judge. He asked for clarification, got it, and moved on. That's not being inept, that's being a normal person. Now if he keeps doing it past this point, and it starts affecting the case because he's incapable of understanding, then yeah that might be different.

?

I've been to quite a few cities here in Europe that aren't car dependent.

I love how every bit of mischief in the first three panels is immediately described as "Hobbes did this"

So technically Calvin wasn't wrong at the end, in his mind anyway

Of course they are. Because - you can buy the fucking things second hand or lend them to people!

I just use Yuzu rather than my switch. Can't beat 4k60fps+

Xenoblade 1 is over a decade old and launched on the Wii. While it is an important game, and was mind-blowing at launch, the sequels surpassed it imo.

Skip 2 and go straight to 3. The gameplay is a combination of both titles and the battle system is FUN. By the end, you're changing classes, 7 team members at once in battle - switching between them at will, 12 arts available to each member at once, chain attacks and transformations into massive mech-like beings called Ouroboros where you can really fuck shit up. If you install the rebalance mod it's even better, battles are fast and if you don't keep up you can get fucked over quite bad. Or you can just go YOLO and just punch things with the fighter class loaded up with attack gems.

The story is very strong (endless war between two nations where the lifespan is only ten years (born at 10, die at 20), and your life is replenished by taking others) with some incredible voice acting from the UK cast, the world feels alive - full of warring factions and roaming armies, and the quests all actually mean something now (help any colony and you gain their leader as a computer played party member, as well as their class and weapon that you can assign to other team members and level up through use). The game runs a dream on a good Yuzu setup in 4k 60fps too.

The great thing about Xenoblade is that you can arguably play the main games in any order and still enjoy the full story. XB2 is super horny, has a fucking terrible menu system and has a lot of it's own issues, despite it still being a very very good game. But there's a reason Xenoblade 3 was nominated for Game of the Year at the game awards, you know.
