Controllers are good for FPS games, especially on PC, and we have to stop pretending like they’re not

Every time someone brings up a controller vs mouse and keyboard, most of if not all comments will push towards the OP to “switch to mouse and keyboard” because “it’s better!”

In my eyes, the person is already accustomed to controller, they’re used to the sensitivity, and if not it’s a quick change.

If they’re going to get used to mouse and keyboard they need to:

  • find a reasonable mouse

  • find a reasonable mousepad for their situation

  • find out if they’re a wrist aimer or an arm aimer

  • make sure their windows mouse sensitivity is set to 6/11 for some reason otherwise everything else will be messed up

  • find their “optimal sensitivity” many of which tutorials are (subjectively) hard to find (the good ones)

I’m both a controller and mouse and keyboard user but I find it easier to aim with a controller. It feels natural.

With services like Uber, DoorDash, Instacart etc, how do the apps give you orders?

Lame title but let me explain,

I had Uber eats and was a driver, and I didn’t really like it but at the same time I had applied for Instacart and I’m in the process of signing up for that.

I live in a small town off the #1 in Canada and it takes about 25-30 minutes to get into the city on a good day. My town is also full of elderly, and considering people have to travel so much to get into the city, they make a day out of travelling down there.

I want to advertise the fact that I am an Instacart delivery person who is willing to go into the city to pick up groceries, prescriptions, whatever it may be. So my question is: does Instacart create batches for drivers to pick up in proximity to the store, or proximity to the person?

In other terms, will I need to actually be on the road near these stores for a chance to pick them up? Or can I stay in my home, keep the app running, and check every few minutes to see if anyone from my town requested something?

Passing on the right on a highway

Why is it illegal to pass someone on the right on the highway in the US? In Canada if there’s a three lane highway which, in my case, isn’t very prominent, there’s really no law that enforces it, it’s more of a respect thing here on two lane highways both ways if someone is going slow in the left lane to go into the right but I’m just curious as to why it’s actually enforced in the US?

  • Can you give me an example of what really important data could look like?

    Genuine question, I don’t work in IT or work with computers very often. I’m tech literate, but the most important thing I really have is my resume and even then I can redo it if I lost it.

  • When someone makes a crude joke on the internet
  • If you just browse through your home feed, sure. But actively going out of your way to see someone's comment or post history because you don't agree with what they said is childish and frankly a bit concerning. It really shows your character.

  • With all this talk about sync's pricing...
  • you don't have to buy ultra

    Then don't put it in the app. Simple as that.

    It's 2023, we're really debating over pricing in a FOSS Android app that just so happens to host a website/forum that just got popular only because people don't like the other main big internet forum?

  • With all this talk about sync's pricing...
  • Oh yeah $20 is fine albeit a bit too much for ad removal but fine

    What I really have gripes with is the $130+ ultra thing. I saw that and noped the fuck outta that app and uninstalled it as quickly as I installed it.

    It also doesn't help that when I bought sync pro it was equivalent to or less than $10 and now he wants $20 for a basic ad removal? He's greedy.

  • With all this talk about sync's pricing...
  • They can get paid, but $20 for lifetime ad removal, and $130+ sync ultra whatever it's called?

    That's not beer money like another commenter said, that's fraud and stealing money for barely anything to give for it.
