Why is this so true? Damn that's sad.

Guess God wants me to learn AV.

Depends on what you want from the controller. Very few have the track pads for example. But there are a lot of good controllers out there these days. I stuck with the Flydigi Vader 4. Gyro that can be mapped to right stick for motion controls in any game. 2 extra buttons, 4 extra back paddles (only 2 are particularly usable on the back). Great polling rate. Xbox ergonomics. Clicky mechanical face buttons. Analog triggers. Hall effect sticks. Customizable RGB but not too much of it. Has 2.4GHz dongle, works with xinput, dinput, and works on Switch.

I think Vader 5 is out now. I think it has TMR sticks but I'm not sure what else is different.

Gamesir Nova Lite 2 is a good budget controller with a lot of the same features for less than an official Xbox controller.

Gamesir G7 Pro is a good alternative to the Vader but I haven't used it.

8BitDo makes some fun and unique controllers but their latency is not always great, and the ergonomics for the Ultimate feels off to me. I get a lot of use out of their Pro 2 controllers which are really nice for 2D games. They're basically a Dual shock 4 + SNES controller. Also has gyro, paddles, xinput, dinput, and Switch modes. The Pro 3 is out now with a few more improvements but I'm good for now.

Did you really just ask me for YOUR opinion on a topic?

It's always valuable to take wisdom where you can, without fully accepting everything else with it without question. Media can help you discover something as long as you realize it's not reality, it's what someone wrote. For example I sometimes get shit from people for referencing Nietzsche. I don't agree with everything he believed, but he makes some interesting points about a lot of things, and even then he is often misunderstood as objectivism.

You're not wrong, but I get what OP is saying too. Most of the camp does like and regard each other, it's mostly Dutch and Micah that are shitheads and lit people against each other. And yeah, it's a game about outlaws and will have conflict, that's how it works. It's just that the whole approach to life is different. It's actually living life, actually talking to people instead did "what's new?" "Just work, someone couldn't figure out how to update Teams again so I watched a progress bar and went back to my office and pretended to be busy the rest of the day". Or just staring blankly when someone has the audacity to speak to you, and then going back to being mesmerized by your depression rectangle.

Yeah, this game helped me "get" Westerns. It's a romanticization of the last period before the industrial revolution and federalization caught up to the entire country. RDR in general is about the end of that period, where you can't just ride to the next town over and restart your life.

Nothing is the right fit for Game Pass really. Indie devs barely make shit from it being on there. Big games are too big. Turns out everyone loses money except Microsoft.

Definitely GrapheneOS.

Re-Google Maps: I use Here We Go, it is much better than the open street maps apps, has live traffic data, and reviews. Unfortunately needs to be downloaded from Play Store for use with Android Auto though (not even Aurora works).

I recommend using a separate user profile for work.

Filen I want to like but they have had questionable encryption methods in the past, and they have not yet been independently audited.

Proton is pretty great. Solid free plan too at 5 GB.

Nextcloud is also great and has a lot of options and integrations with other FOSS software. Self hosted only though of course.

I have a desktop PC with Linux on it, wired Ethernet only that I can unplug, and a gun in my night stand in case it makes a noise I don't recognize.

If you take a look at the username, it is usually just OP 90% of the time.
