    Yeah I agree with you, this just actually does not make sense unless he’s a Ken Doll.

    Bro literally has no balls.

    Yeah, you can tuck, or maybe have a micropeen … but he would have had to actually lose his balls, which is simply too on the nose insane for me to entertain for the serial rapist king of the manopshere.

    And also yeah… any… basically woman that’s actually a woman, that’s gone through puberty, would also have more of a bulge than this.








  • Unfortunately, you’d have to actually make a left and right hand version… ‘hand agnostic’ wouldn’t work with this kind of design.

    Imagine a non reversible hand agnostic glove.

    Hope your thumb and pinky are identical, on each hand, just swapped.

    Mirroring the entire hand isn’t the same as a hand being symmetrical.

    … you could perhaps try to model a mouse around a pistol grip or flight stick… not sure if that would be doable to work out to the correct wrist angles though?

    Hrm.

    Actually, a standard dildo with balls/flared base design might actually work as a kind of basic shape to start from…

    … the balls would be the place the pinky side of your hand rests on… then you’d need symmetrical flaring/indentation where either thumb could go… make the left and right click and scroll wheel be along the … would it be dorsal? side of the shaft, have a button or switch elsewhere that can flip button assignment and wheel orientation between left and right handed use. Scroll wheel is horizontal due to grip angle / both handedness.

    Then I guess add more bonus buttons the thumb could use.

    You’d also have to weight the bottom of this thing to prevent it from toppling, the whole thing would have to be fairly heavy.

    And you’d have basically double the amount of buttons as per a particular handed variant…

    … design is all about compromises, lol.





  • I wholly agree.

    What I am trying to describe is… that room thought it was done, with Obama getting elected.

    They tought that was ‘the end of history’.

    I was trying to tell them what you are saying… no, this never ends, you are never safe to rest on your laurels after declaring ideological victory.

    … but they did. They ‘won’, that was that, onto the rest of life, making big bucks in an ethical capitalist megacorp… thats what they thought, thats what they did.

    Arrogance. Entitlement. Declaring victory far too early, ironically, just like Bush who they all hated.

    Those kinds of people… they are our current ‘illiberal liberals’, if that makes sense. They’re actually just class elitists, interested in the appearance of moral superiority, but not the substance of it.

    …only now dawns on me that I was different from them: significantly poorer upbringing, but I got excellent grades in spite of it.

    … didnt matter in the end though, i ended up poor anyway, because people like them get ‘the ick’ from people like me, calling them on their bullshit, highlighting their privelege in undeniable detail.

    A society of entitled narcissists… oh god we are doomed lol.


  • Yeah haha, ‘casual’ as a word for that… I tried to expand on the meaning confusion via stealth edit, I may not have been fast enough lol.

    But yeah, a lot of bog standard dudebro games are not casual in the sense of uh … sweatiness?

    But they are casual in the sense of ‘you only have to be casually aware of video games to know… CoD, or Zelda, or Halo’… like, opposed to niche, basically.


  • You are precisely the kind of exception I was trying to describe.

    I know not all console primary gamers pretty much only play games from well known publishers… but most of them mostly do, as you seem to agree.

    ‘Casuals’, as we used to say, though the vocabulary has changed in the last 20 something years, so thats probably not a great word to use these days, as ‘casual’ is now more of a genre or an attribute, games that tend to not require intense/precise input sequences, or very much thinking, are designed to be low intensity, low frustration.

    Back then, we meant it as ‘casually interested in the hobby of gaming’, as opposed to some kind of diehard nerd that was always looking intently for the best or the weirdest or rarest, or something like that.


  • … No, I haven’t.

    i’ve described reality as it is.

    I’ve also said that in general, people should be allowed to publically make mistakes and publically learn and grow from them.

    If you want lemmy to … actually support truly deletable posts and comments? And also be public facing?

    Go redesign it then.

    You are ignorant of how the actual mechanisms at play here work, and you’ve decided that me describing them to you is somehow a moral defense of surveillance capitalism.

    You can’t have something that is totally public yet is also truly totally redactable at the same time.

    You’re just mad that you don’t understand how software works, and lashing out wildly.

    I don’t do it because I wish to take part in the construction of an online archive of everything that anyone has ever said that can be easily scanned to profile people, harass them, and for other such fun anti-social uses of technology.

    Then stop communicating on any public facing communications platform.

    What you said there applies to all of them.



  • Apologies, genuienly, even though I’m just a fanboy for this thing.

    Like I’ve … I’ve literally begged this company to diversify and expand from this mouse model.

    I suggested they do like a more expensive ‘gamer’ version that has a higher polling rate, a left handed version, maybe figure out how to do swappable body kit parts to dial in the kind of grip you want.

    I genuienly do not understand how they can make and sell this thing at $30. Nothing comparable exists in that price range, that I am aware of.

    They’re sitting on an incredible design they could potentially expand on.
