Google maps when Android auto detects music moves all the buttons up out of their usual place but it's slightly delayed. Most dangerous #5 I've encountered.

Modern autos with cvts are kinda at the point where it is basically magic. They feel like driving a golf kart that can reach 200km/h.

But which America is it? North or south?

Sure, but who the hell doesn't season their chicken?? It's good because it's versatile and it's only dry if you don't cook it well.

Yee game development is very accessible nowadays. Fortunately it still requires great effort to make a good game.

A huge amount of games in the indie scene are made by zoomers. Lethal company was made by a 21 year old. The current game industry is composed of mostly millennials, but still a lot of zoomers.

If you want to be able to buy the game physically then sure it would be nice. But as someone who works in the games industry, I can say that you'd be alienating a gigantic chunk of the games industry especially the indie scene. Physical game distribution is really expensive, ethically dubious, and actually acts more as a marketing tool than a means to make sales.

I work for a pretty big studio where I am and we can't afford to do conventional physical distribution. The last studio I worked at only could do it because our publisher had connections.

But that doesn't have to be the nail in the coffin. You have access to the internet. You can make your own physical media by purchasing drm free games and storing it in something quality. if you can't for a specific game then you should vote with your wallet. It'll eventually come to gog or something.

Blu-Ray is very proprietary and DVD-Video requires licensing. Some games also have on disc DRM which imo is still akin to making it a proprietary medium.

You can own software without needing to use dated distribution methods. Look at GOG. You can download and keep your games in any way you want forever. And you don't have to deal with annoying formats or media that's hard to back up.

The bedrock UI is far more controller friendly. And it has aim snapping features and so on.
