I’m not saying Metacritic is the end-all be-all, but it does confirm the most commonly held opinion about the popularity of the modern games. You may think that there is a real debate here but that just isn’t the case. 4 and 76 are pretty firmly the less well received of these games.

“I have money, so how could anybody be poor‽”

Obviously not. His name was Journeyman.

Hey buddy, unless your contribution tomorrow is more than Jack shit, maybe keep your opinion to yourself.

Huh, TIL.

Tank the economy. The alternative is not better.

Immediately thought of this because of It’s Just Cinema’s series on weird 70/80/90s animated films.

I’m sorry, but don’t be ridiculous. That is not even remotely what the last commenter said. He simply pointed out that inaccurate hyperbole isn’t helping our position.

Bieber’s first album didn’t release until 2010. This look was just fairly ubiquitous among teens and 20s hearthrobs in the 2000s. Note the boot cut jeans that you would never catch Bieber wearing.

It’s coming. They’re officallt trying to “declare war” on American cities. There is going to be violent backlash, and unfortunately that’s exactly what they want.

I think you’re overestimating the degree to which the majority of users are willing to inconvenience themselves over a browser. If Microsoft announced tomorrow that Windows no longer supported any browser other than edge you wouldn’t see a mass migration to Linux. Instead you would see a healthy uptick in complaints about edge.

Yes-woman, please!

ergonomic, don’t have to move your hands.

I can’t even begin to understand what you mean by this. It sounds like maybe you’re an iPhone user, which has almost no native universal controls. Android has options like gestures or a digital button bar, which allow for universal navigation from the same location that physical buttons would be in.

tactile, don’t have to watch the phone to navigate if you are familiar with what you are doing

Those buttons are contextually dynamic. You wouldn’t be able to use them without looking at the screen anyway.

“safer” since you can rest your hands while holding your device without worrying about accidental touch inputs that means you can have a firmer grip

How are you firmly gripping buttons without pushing them? This makes no sense.

It sounds like you have rose tinted glasses inspired by the inferiority of iOS, but I’m making assumptions.

Phablets were larger than modern screens; in the 8-9" range. You were lucky to fit one in a back pocket.

Fwiw I think you’re correct. Everyone else wants to keep being nice to these morons. I say rub their face in it.

Exactly. Apples biggest success has been looking at all the options being tested by other manufacturers, choosing the option they want, then completely eliminating all other options and convincing people in droves that what they are offering is what you want.

Why

I don’t think I can agree with that logic when literally one Internet search could course correct these people on most of the issues they are choosing to be on the wrong side of. They don’t want to know what the truth is because it doesn’t fit their emotional narrative.
