So they’re ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.
Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what’d they think was the point of the campaign?
These guys…
“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.
I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.
To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar
and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.
Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.
Fite me irl
Roasted/broiled/pan fried sprouts are amazing, though.
What should be crossed out is the rutabaga.
N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right… prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was… still pretty awkward.
I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.
Nah. The pattern is cool as hell though.
Disproving them can work
No
So don’t?
Then what’s your counter?
Arguably best way to counter misinformation is non-platforming it. Mere provable facts and impeccable logic have a dogshit success rate.
Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.
Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

This place is noticeably more anticorporate - which makes sense because corporations tend to be dicks - and leftist. Enshittification is a fairly apt term for what goes on.
handwaved it away as perfectly normal and expected
“Yes, but space is boring and therefore it’s realistic” is still one of my favorite excuses for a game.
Nothing at all, if it’s been maintained and “upkept” much better than theirs has. But, y’know.
Starfield is starting to seem pretty spackled together, and the engine was already sort of infamous for bugs. It’s not just BSW being sloppy about content (although they are), it’s also the engine and tooling. The CKs tend to look… grim.
What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.
With phones, like with other things, a bit of protective covering goes a long way.
