I think some of it comes down to what your brain is used to.

I usually use mouse/keyboard, that kind of constant movement from holding the stick in a certain position is kind of foreign to me. Whereas having the right track pad basically emulating a trackpall mouse instantly felt really natural. In this case it's like a mouse in that your movement directly translates to camera movement.

You may just be more used to analog sticks

I loooove my steam controller for first-person games. The right track pad for camera controls just clicks with me. I guess it's because I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, so I'm used to mouse-like aiming rather than the analog-style stick aiming.

I never really used the left track pad though...

That being said, I was let down by the steam deck trackpads. Maybe I just have big hands, but I could never use the right track pad the same way I do with the steam controller.

Also a general comment: AA/AAA is the best if you get some rechargable batteries. No waiting for charging when something is out of juice! Plus you can just get a new set of batteries if they ever die instead of a whole new controller

The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.

Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me

Some of this is probably because we're not using windows, so nearly everyone is using the browser version.

In my company in nearly every meeting someone has issues with either video, audio, or screensharing not working. We even had a couple instances (including for myself) where it showed the camera as being off, but other people could see you....

For comparison, as much as I dislike google, I also regularly use Meet and I can't even remember ever having issues.

I was thinking North Macedonia or something, but then I remembered that the post referenced pounds

It's been probably 25 years since I read it and I can still remember what an impression it made.

Big recommend!

We use Cursor at work and I find it quite useful for quickly putting together something brand new, but fairly painful to try to do anything connected to expanding our existing codebase.

I often run into situations where getting it to do what I want takes longer than just coding something myself.

It's also the biggest language (in terms of native speakers) in the EU. Not that it's anywhere close to a majority...

Ufff, hurts to see because it would have definitely had at least a chance at winning the whole thing!

That's basically it.

A famous example was a few years back when Electric Callboy wasn't even invited to the national finals for selecting the song because the selection committee knew they would win but "didn't feel the song was fit for radio"

It's a different sport that originated in Mexico but has been expanding fast throughout South America and Europe.

I think Pickleball is more of a US thing
