I am guessing that it’s different because they spend weeks and months on the ship. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be too keen to enlist in the navy if it required not having my personal phone for months on end. They gotta make some concessions in policy to keep everyone sane.
Or maybe they’re banned but people sneak them in anyway.
Edit: then again, if they just snuck them in, they wouldn’t have any connection. They need wifi. So it’s probably allowed.
Beat me to it! It’s not my favorite sketch of theirs, but any excuse to share a Chris and Jack video is good :)
To the uninitiated: Jack was the voice of Sokka in AtLA. Chris was a Blue Man.
Not fucking safe for work.

In general, old fables need more psyops.
It’s an interesting thought, but no amount of software is going to conjure up new physical buttons. You pretty much always need to use the ABXY buttons at the same time as the D-pad, so this remapping trick wouldn’t be possible.
Interesting. I played Hollow Knight on Switch and joycons were my favorite option for this exact reason. The few times I tried with a Switch pro controller … did not go well. It’s too squishy, and I absolutely do blame the controller there! Presumably 8BitDo is much better and clickier.
Silksong I actually played on PC, with a keyboard. It was great for me, the biggest downside personally is the lack of rumble - I love haptic feedback. The game definitely plays better with a controller but the button layout on keyboard was totally playable.
That’s a good idea actually!
I don’t know what you mean, Hollow Knight is unplayable with accidental diagonals. Try attacking in mid-air while moving left, but then oops! Instead of an attack to your left, you do a pogo or an upwards attack. You miss your target, and you die.
I want this controller, but I am so annoyed that no controller on the planet comes with separated directional buttons for the D-Pad. Accidental diagonal input is the bane of my existence. The Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons have separate buttons and I freaking love it! But the ONLY reason they did that is to allow them to serve as ABXY when held sideways. No “real” controller does this.
The only option I’ve found to achieve this is to get a PlayStation controller (PS4 or PS5), and mod it with a kit that separates the buttons under the faceplate. But the extra features of the Steam Controller sound too good to sacrifice just for that.
The only D-Pad I’ve ever actually liked is the 3DS (XL), because it’s so clicky and never caused accidental diagonal input. Seriously, how do people accept this crap?
So yeah, I really hope the D-Pad on this is clicky. I’ll probably be buying it either way.
I don’t know if it’s that crazy. The form factor of laptops, and computers for that matter, has pretty much stayed the same for many decades and still going strong. It’s entirely possible that this slab phone form factor will stick around forever.
Off the top of my head, random list of older things that haven’t significantly changed form factor in forever:
Maybe some of those I’m wrong about, but certainly not all. Sometimes, a form factor just sticks around.
Just that the sun is, and always has been, a higher being observing humanity. She doesn’t look at the “camera” at any point, so I don’t see it as a 4th wall thing.
Back in my day we had a saying: Don’t Feed The Trolls. This is obviously what he wants.
Find a balance between letting other users know who he is in the comments, and not engaging with him.
The sign is throwing me off. I get what it’s SUPPOSED to be: “POISONS”, with the “IS” overwritten by “TI” to make “POTIONS”. But the visible parts of the letter(s) after “POIS” absolutely cannot be an O. It looks more like “POISIUNS” or something like that.
Good comic! And I like your interpretation, though it’s not what I thought.
This planet is almost entirely made of rock. Compared to the amount of rock there is, all of humanity might as well be a rounding error. Insult their intelligence all you want, but they’re winning.
How does industrial diary farming work? Do they have sweatshops in third world countries where people write a few months’ or years’ worth of diary entries per day?
Have you been living under a rock? Electric vehicles are where it’s at, ICEs suck.
Careful, DO NOT share photos of keys with the teeth visible. It’s possible to duplicate keys from a photo.
Depends on your threat model of course, if you’re just a guy (or gal) with no enemies or online fame/infamy, you probably don’t need to worry about things like that. Just be aware of the possibility.
Lol, awesome.
Annoyingly I noticed that the status page only shows the past 22 minutes to 1 hour for the primary services. I have no idea why, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to look further back. But the badge says 99.45% uptime over the last 14 days, so that’s probably right.
Ooh, I love Mitchell and Webb! Though their newer sketch show, true to its name, is not helping. For some reason they decided to sprinkle in very few hits with a lot of misses.
