This is actually quite eye opening to me, as someone who doesn't really ever have to look at ratings as a consumer and has always just taken them for granted. Now I'm keenly aware it's yet another example of runaway capitalism. Just never thought too hard about it.

PEGI's a cunt.

I agree with your point about OS X style menus, they've been steadily going downhill since "macOS" though. Granted, they're still uphill of whatever the fuck Microsoft seems to think of.

I've done a triple take to try to see what you're referring to but all I can conclude is that he has great hair. If I showered and let my hair dry it would look exactly like that.

Fuck this stupid world we've built.

I don't have a single DLC, the reviews always seem to be mixed at best. Are there any good ones?

Similar to, but not quite the same as the kind of man-child that buys an F-150 on the off chance they need to haul a dresser once every 4 years. Seriously though, if each one of these buyers keeping US truck bloat in style bought a motorcycle instead to cement their self-worth, traffic would be eliminated in most US cities. That's not possible due to many factors, I know, but it must be said motorcycles are just way cooler.

I imagine they're really itching to torpedo it somehow. Surprisingly long time for them not to do so.

This sounds like a shower thought I would have but when someone else says it, it just seems reductive and incorrect. The Germans probably have a word for this phenomenon.

I'm very much a tech person and can confirm for me personally: T9-Word in combination with physical keys was a much faster, one-handed, and even eyes-off experience. Even when I upgraded to a phone with a slide out full physical keyboard (Samsung Intensity), T9 was still faster. For any word that had repeated keys back-to-back, my hand knew to press the right arrow which would move the cursor to the next position.

I'm purely talking about typing while not looking at the screen (for instance in a pocket like OP mentioned). Not sure why you brought screen resolution into it or media players. I'm not a vintage tech apologist--I'm typing this on an S22 with SwiftKey and it's fine minus a few mistakes. But there was no way I could do this blindfolded. I'd have exited the app and be typing something regrettable into Slack by now.
