  • I don’t think the idea was mature enough. Yes it did try to innovate and do new things but it also was trying very hard to be familiar to an audience that was never going to embrace change while not changing enough for a new audience to develop around it. I would compare it to the Dvorak keyboard, a device that offered only marginal improved efficiency and use while requiring the user to completely relearn from the ground up and have to fight muscle memory for those who used the popular medium it meant to replace. And in the end, most people said it wasn’t worth it.

    I was initially intrigued by having buttons on the bottom of the controller, where your fingers naturally would be thus freeing your thumbs to stay on the pad/sticks. And imagine my frustration to realize those rear buttons are just extensions of triggers already on top. Huge missed opportunity imo that a redesign could have given dedicated buttons on the back of the controller to each finger and expand the possibilities for input combos a player can perform.

    TL;DR I think the controller was a valiant effort to innovate but didn’t go far enough or do anything sell enough to stick.













  • While I like the concept, the idea that a family of 4 needs 4 bathrooms is ridiculous. Maybe a half bath with a sink and toilet, but the extra 2 showers could be used for more communal space. The long hallways on the exterior two bedrooms bother me, that’s a fair amount of space not being utilized for anything.

    The only way this apartment layout makes sense to me is if ‘family’ is being described as 4 adults (or 4 couples) sharing a single apartment.


  • Big issue is modern conservativism does not reflect what conservatism actually should be. I don’t agree with either philosophy as a whole but the classical definition of a small government only just powerful enough to protect the rights of its citizens without any superfluous powers or privileges that could be abused for self enrichment or tyranny does have some merit, even if that merit has been buried in the political backyard since at least the 70s. Modern day Republicans are everything the conservatives who built the party feared.





  • Well lets stick to facts. He was arrested at McDs 3 days after the murder.

    However, nothing of what he supposedly had in his possession makes sense, especial with the revelation his bag was searched illegally off camera before they finally turned on a body cam to search it.

    MO doesn’t make sense that he would go through efforts to hide his identity in New York and ditch clothing backpack but keep the fake IDs, gun and manifesto saying everything cops would want to hear on his person 3 days later.

    My ex was always fascinated with how soft my hair was compared to hers and generally in good condition. She refused to believe I didn’t use any product as from an all in one shampoo.

    Meanwhile, she dyed her hair once a month and had an entire shelf of different products that were supposed to give her volume, bounce and spring while enhancing the color. Some days I swear her hair smelt like spray paint and felt like sand paper.
