Some of us have a whole-ass HOTAS and a racing wheel _and_ a 6DOF spacemouse and we SHOULD be able to use them in your game.
If you make a vehicle construction game and you don't have a built in way to let people with freaky controllers map shit to them, what the heck are you doing?

Man, this guy has never been to a holiday with me. I will project a 17 step powerpoint presentation right on the turkey.
ANYWAY THE WAY HE THINKS YOU CAN GET YOUR PINKO COMMIE NEPHEWS TO SHUT UP (AND I GUESS YOUR RACIST UNCLE TOO BUT THIS WAS CLEARLY WRITTEN FOR THE RACIST UNCLES) IS THIS LINE:
"I'M TOTALLY HEARING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I'M WONDERING HOW WOULD THAT WORK?"

YOU DON'T GET A MEDAL FOR FIGHTING YOUR FAMILY.
THERE'S NO REWARD FOR WINNING A SCREAMING MATCH WITH SOMEONE WHO LISTENS TO FOX NEWS 364 DAYS A YEAR AND YOU FOR 1.
IF THE OPTIONS ARE A POINTLESS SCREAMING MATCH AND NOTHING, NOTHING IS THE BETTER CHOICE.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

We've already seen AI driving people to psychosis, but man, what happens to these people if/when the bubble pops. Not just to the economy but also, just, to these people's brains, what happens If AI stops being available or just stops being cheap/free to use

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

Instead of the Nuzzi shit, let's focus on the fact that apparently Johnny Knoxville got married this past weekend, the wedding was officiated by John Waters, and a dog was involved
