Physical controls were a primary reason I went with a 2023 Mazda 3. I didn’t want a touch screen as the primary input device. The rotary dials for menus and volume have been great. I find the screen is just in a better position too; it doesn’t need to be within reach so it just blends into the dash better and is at an easier angle to see.

Before I updated my car I used the headphone jack regularly for playing music there. Otherwise it was relegated to a couple situations a year like air travel.

Now that I’ve got a newer vehicle I just have all my music on USB there.

I only go for one community surrounding a book series, and only on Mondays when there are weekly discussion threads for new chapters. I found reddit pretty easy to cut out when I just stopped using it on mobile entirely.

Good way to play victim too.

Really hope the series does something with the completion of this cosplay. It’s been more interested in talking about its in-universe fiction than it has anything else of relevance.

I haven’t watched any episodes (of any series) this season, but I’m pretty surprised to see something above Mushoku Tensei. Figured that’d be a lock for the season.

Cause crypto is shit.

Thanks, that was interesting. Pretty different experience when there’s very little contention for space.

I suspect it was supposed to be Ferdinand from the Honzuki no Gekokujou book series, bookwormstory.social has a couple things on the board and the colors matched up. The glico pose is used in the series so it’s probably what was originally intended (Example from the Light Novels).

Totally down to help convert it to Neco-Arc.

Less engagement is exactly what I would want. Show me my new chronological content and then I’ll get the hell out of there.

Not having a touch screen was a pretty sizeable component of my decision making process when I bought my 3.

This is one of my favorite GDC talks and it’s about this subject with a sizeable segment devoted to the second paragraph in this article comparing Video Games to the availability of classic Movies.
