The problem with a feature-packed gaming mouse is not usually a shortage of buttons. It is using the wrong buttons at the wrong time. MMO players may want a full thumb keypad for skills and macros, but that same grid can feel cramped in a shooter. A minimalist mouse is better for FPS games, yet […]
Your AI Slop Bores Me is brilliant in its simplicity. There are two tabs: human and LARP as an AI. On one side you enter a request. On the other, you submit an answer. But the important thing is that there's a human on both sides of the equation. Prompts can request a response as […]
