    Honestly, until there is an official pc release I'm not going to get too excited. It is nice to see that Steam OS is taking off though. Someone needs to knock microsoft off their throne.

    I'm blocking java script right now so tildes is functional with out it and slashdot certainly worked just fine for me blocking scripts when I was there earlier.

    The youtubers are only mad because they got screwed, if it was their audience getting screwed they wouldn't care.

    Among my many keyboards is a WOOTING ONE, it has analog keys as well. It is a nice keyboard but ultimately useless to me. I don't do anything with it that I couldn't do with any other keyboard....

    Among my many keyboards is a WOOTING ONE, it has analog keys as well. It is a nice keyboard but ultimately useless to me. I don't do anything with it that I couldn't do with any other keyboard. The analog features are pointless as the switch travel is so short its hard to consistently use. I ended up disabling them because they require X-input to use and it screws with almost every program in some unexpected way.

    That was a long winded way of saying its' a cool toy but a bad tool. I imagine this keyboard to be much of the same.

    I'm with ZeroGee on this one, this video is actually worth the length, she doesn't just go off on an angry tirade for 4 hours she actually manages to articulate her points well and shes a bit silly so it's quite entertaining to watch.

    Yeah I'll wait until I can watch if for free and if I can't I'll likely never care.

    I'm gunna have to disagree this would be my vote for worst trailer of all time but the "section 31" trailer is a close second.

    People keep insisting lower decks is good and I'm left wondering if we are watching the same show because it is just as cringe inducing as Discovery/ Picard in my opinion. I just don't find any of it funny, I have laughed more watching DS9. That experience made me extremely reluctant to watch Strange New Worlds, I am glad I did because its great but I still can't figure out the appeal of The Lower Decks.

    I dealt with mine by simply never speaking to them again, unfortunately that doesn't work for everyone but it sure was effective.

    The first one was a terrible ripoff of a mediocre film, I don't know how anyone expected this one to be any good.
