When I played counter strike I expected no such thing. If I wanted skins, I could go get them for free on csbanana. I expected nothing more than a game and a dedicated server client. The rest was provided by the community.

Is that guys name actually Pony Ma?

Now, my mandarin is very bad, but Ma means horse, among other things. So is this guys name horse small horse?

Edit: his Chinese name is 马化腾. Mǎ Huàténg. So his family name is indeed horse, but Pony isn’t his name, just a nickname.

China is a communist country, they purposefully repressed religion for quite some time, though that has eased up a lot these days. If that was why, it would have happened decades ago when people stopped being religious.

You might look into repairing the joystick you have. I recently had a similar issue with my 360 controller after it sitting in storage for many years and a good contact cleaning got it working again.

If that doesn’t work, depending on your level of confidence, you could measure the pin pitch and note termination style and see if you can find a replacement joystick module to solder in somewhere. Maybe it used the same footprint as another controller, and you can drop it in and have it work.

Either way, good luck. I hope you succeed!

Except they don’t support USB OR Bluetooth audio.

They asked for 14, we’re going to strike for at least 7, and got 4 and the ability to turn 3 PTO days into sick days. Not exactly what I would call a victory, but it’s definitely better than nothing.

Do you think titles like that are a result of a severely myopic mind, unable to even comprehend why a corporation would willingly do something that their users dislike, or just clickbait?

Agreed, there’s limited resources, that’s exactly why we can’t afford to waste any more on another CEO mega yacht or private plane. We’re capable of a post-scarcity society with just the setup we have today, were we to distribute resources on need rather than greed.

Here’s an Imgur link that has more photos.

Basically, it slides into a slider on the post and the four rods hold the crossbar in place.

Okay this is the second time I’ve posted a picture and it’s rotated from how it is in my library. My library doesn’t seem to be saving the rotations I do to the actual photo data. Sorry!

Action movie bad guys are always the topical enemy of the state. Even satirical takes on the genre end up recuperated and reinforce the very tropes they were criticizing(Robocop is my favorite example).
