Hot take: keyboard and mouse isn't always better for shooters

Honestly that makes total sense to me, it's the same thing with how people pick tools in real life too. Everyone assumes the "better" option is the one with more skill involved, but sometimes the wrong tool just clicks for you because of how your brain works. Like when I see people argue about mouse vs keyboard, they always focus on raw speed and precision, but they never talk about comfort or how your hands naturally move. I swapped from a controller to a cheap tablet for editing photos once and my workflow got way faster, just because I wasn't fighting against my own setup anymore. Ngl it's kind of wild how much ego gets wrapped up in choosing the "harder" input method, when really the goal is just to enjoy the game and hit your shots. Tbh that K/D jump proves there's no shame in taking the help aim assist gives you if it makes the experience better for you.

The jump from 60hz to 144hz was way bigger than I expected

Is the blur really that bad or are you just used to smoother frames now?

The stat that made me finally leave my desk job after 7 years

Did you ever calculate the actual dollar value of that unused vacation time? Because that one really stings when you see it in black and white. Ngl, the commute math hit me the same way, especially when I realized I was spending over $200 a month on gas just to sit in traffic. Those little numbers add up fast and make you wonder why you put up with it for so long.

Appreciation post for the hostel worker in Prague who saved me $40

Gotta love those hostel workers... they always know the real spots. Your buddy saved like 50 bucks and got a way better experience. That's the kind of trip advice you can't buy.

Am I the only one who notices people misusing 'said' in dialogue tags?

Honestly I used to be the opposite of you. I thought more descriptive tags made the writing feel more alive and cinematic. But a few months back I read a thread here that broke it down and it clicked for me. Now I can't unsee it. When someone writes 'he whispered quietly' it's like they don't trust the reader to get it from the word whispered itself. Simple tags like 'said' or 'asked' just let the dialogue do the work and the story moves faster. I've started going back and cutting most of my fancy tags and the difference is huge. Feels cleaner and less cluttered now.
