I’ve never cared for it - the entire show’s awards and announcements could be YouTube Shorts that I can pick and choose to watch, and I’d get exactly the same thing out of it.

I wait a day and then check for a megathread with bullet points, then see if there is anything of interest to me.

I hear you, but as you just said it can be adapted to be used as an exaggeration, generally to indicate the person is out of touch in opinion.

A similar pattern with our speech is how terms for mental disability (eg idiot or some of the modern terms recently deemed a bit more hateful) were adapted in our language to become insults.

“ok boomer”

Same!

In particular though, I loved my old Steam Controller, and hope this new one compares. I’d still be using one now if they weren’t all bought by asshole scalpers and marked up 6000%…

I remember this same discussion point when Valve released the first Steam Machines ten years ago.

Appreciate that! I don’t recall there ever being anything explaining that in the game - I played through it and unlocked all the characters, beat the Tropy ghosts and some of the Oxide ghosts, but never heard of this stuff the entire time.

I don’t think nitro reserves were a mechanic in the original CTR

I got a 3 with my phone, and cannot be bothered - unless someone manages to break it and work out a custom OS situation, the thing is worthless to me.

From what I understand that is why Valve started working on their own operating system and hardware.
