  • D-pad for me, functionally, is a 4 directional buttons clustered together, oriented along the X-Y axis. To conserve parts, it’s quite often made not as 4 buttons but as a combined shifter, because you realistically wouldn’t be pressing the opposite buttons at the same time.
    The left track area on the steam controller is that. The buttons are fuzed together (which is normal for D-pad) and big and harder to tell apart (which is less normal)










  • You probably wanted to show off how smart you are, but instead you showed that you can’t even talk to people without help of your favourite slop bucket.
    It didn’t answer my curiosity about what came first, but it solidified my conviction that your brain is cooked all the way, probably beyond repair. I would say you need to seek professional help, but at this point you would interpret it as needing to talk to the autocomplete, and it will cook you even more.
    It started funny, but I feel very sorry for you now, and it sucked all the humour out.






  • You’re acting like the most “well acsually” person ever. You see the word “never” and don’t understand that people routinely use this word colloquially not to literally mean “there was zero cases in history of humanity”. Maybe they shouldn’t do that, maybe people should use “almost never” to mean “almost never”, but they aren’t.
    If you want to engage with meaning of what the person you’re arguing was saying, instead of hanging up on a technical usage of the word, their point was that sensationalist media and crazy usually religiously motivated groups love misunderstanding teenagers stupid humour, and making a big panic out of basically nothing. All the kids who really physically put tide pods in their mouths even for a second for a stupid video, can fit into one short bus. But the panic around it was so widespread, you could get an impression that everyone is popping them like tic tacs. That is a classic example of a moral panic.
