Aren't sovcits like the polar opposite view and believe that the "system" is so real and literal that they can recite magic contract language to get free money and have laws no longer apply to them?

Money is so fake lmao

I just stick to AMD, especially on Linux. The official AMD driver is open source on Linux, included in mainline kernel, and performance is better than their Windows diver now

1. yes, this is how interviewers must conduct interviews in order to have guests agree to be interviewed, to some extent

2. Did you see his latest interview with Bill O'Reilly though? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7qZE4C_neo

Or famously, Jon Stewart on Crossfire? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE

EDIT Also in the Crossfire one your exact concern is addressed by Jon directly

EDIT again, also his "both-sidesism" seems to be being critical of both MAGA right wing nonsense and neoliberal capitalist nonsense, but I have not seen much criticism from him of progressives. If you have some examples, I'd watch them. So I don't see how that he is "steeped in neoliberalism" because he is often critcal of it.

What was I "fuming" about...? Wdym?

"Everyone around me says they have positive experiences with the touchpads! They're the ones that are wrong and I am right, because... the real people just ignore them and don't post about it!!!"

Lmao. Yeah, I'm the one in an alternate reality here...

Wow this "alternate reality" seems pretty immersive:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/td9inr/how_good_are_the_touchpads/

My experience with them has been pretty great. I was able to play a mouse and keyboard game with them without issue (in my case, the games I tested this with were Planet Zoo and FrostPunk). From my experience in the past with Steam controller, it’s the same if not better.

People have been playing every type of game out there with the Steam Controller for years. The efficacy of trackpads is self-evident.

I like to use them for typically very mouse-oriented games, like RTS and point-n-click adventures. They also help make navigating the desktop mode a snap.

Trackpads are highly underrated as inputs for the simple reason that there are two

the ones on the steam controller were perfect

the touchpads work great as a mouse replacement in games like Civilization VI, which was surprisingly playable on the Steam Deck.

Gee, what kind of "homework" did you even do? These were the top 3 search results for "steam deck trackpad review", skipping over a Reddit post titled " Steam Deck Trackpads are Actually Good" which was the #2 search result

Lmao "Playable" tag...

Can framework physically be upgraded? Yes. Is that practical, realistic, or something the makes sense for a typical user to actually do (beyond RAM and hard drives, which is common to be able to replace on most laptops already)? No. See all the reasons I've already covered. To market the product based on that like it is something great that a user will expect to do and why they should buy it, is pretty scammy behavior, especially when the laptop is priced at a premium and this is justified by these impractical features.

Ir16 is as repairable and as easy as framework to replace/upgrade typical components as one should expect for a laptop, like RAM, hard drives, and network card. You remove 9 screws, the bottom panel comes right off, and there is access to those components. I wouldn't expect to easily replace other parts of it or the entire mainboard, but again, no one is practically going to be doing that with framework either anyway.

an unrelated and fairly ignorant take

It's actually related (given all of the comments suggesting framework and parroting scam marketting points), and not ignorant, just realistic. People often want to defend their purchase after they've been duped.

You already have one!

Alrighty, then! If you say so

continues enjoying keyboard and mouse games on Steam Deck like most users, as Valve intended

Makes invalid comparisons based on incompatible measures and draws incorrect conclusions

You're still wrong.

😂

Granblue Relink is just about closing that top 100 and has about 650 players right now. That’s not on Deck, that’s across all of Steam.

So a completely different measure than what is used for ranking Great on Steam Deck games...? 🤦 Comparison to concurrent users just isn't valid because Great on Steam Deck ranking aren't measured by concurrent users...

it’s that mouse-first games are quite unpopular

Evidence needed. Also, did you purposely leave out the fact that Civ VII is literally #2 trending on the Deck right now because it proves you argument wrong or...?

I don't mind being wrong that much

That's certainly convenient for you lol
