That's a fair point, actually, repressed probably is more accurate for what your saying

Ah, ok, that's not so bad then? Still pretty annoying though

Considering a lot of games on steam don't have a rating at all, it's probably going to affect damn near everything but AAA games, honestly

We sure are supporting Israel a lot for it to not be a proxy war though...

Repressed gay works just fine tbh, most people probably use "closeted" but that's more colloquial.

However, referring to a gay person as a "gay" can be a bit problematic as it strips their personhood from the statement. A lot of bigots will refer to gay people that way to imply they are lesser. I dunno if that's how it works in other languages, but at least in English it's generally more respectful to refer to groups as people specifically. So you'd always say "gay people" or "black people" and etc.

It works surprisingly well, most 2D fighting games are just doing 8 directional movement anyway, so it can make a lot of inputs easier actually

Idk, anything that does what a keyboard does for gaming will basically just end up being a keyboard honestly. If you want a set of easily accessible, customizable buttons for a videogame, what better than just a whole board filled with them really. I think that KBM has stuck around so long is that it is just a great way to play a lot of games.

My main point is just that I don't think a lot of people are "tolerating" keyboard controls like you initially said.

You can technically get analog keyboard switches for your WASD movement and such, but afaik it'd be quite expensive and require a fairly customized keyboard to pull off. But it can be done!

Also I love having extra mouse buttons for all my modifiers. I use mine in WoW to access all my hotbars without moving my hand to press any modifier keys on the keyboard, really nice setup.

Nah, mouse and keyboard is great for a lot of things. Strategy games, most MMORPGs. Heck even fighting games are actually really nice on a keyboard if you can get used to it, you can do very complicated movements by just pressing a few buttons, the actual analog input is actually completely unutilized in most fighting games anyway.

Having such a precise control over the buttons you press as well as having such a large amount of them is really important to a lot of games. And honestly even if we made a unique controller to replicate this precise input, we would still end up using a keyboard anyway because you can actually type messages on it, too.

What does Ubisoft have to do with this?

I had it pop up while I was in the middle of a raid boss in WoW, lol
