Do crows, jays and magpies always look so smart because they were dressed by corvid owl?

Gore Vidal, the writer? Did he also do couture?
|
|
|
|
|
It would certainly work better if he did, yes.
(I blame messy implementation of reality for the problem - it worked perfectly well inside my brain)

Interestingly they are Corbeau in French, also a manufacturer of racing seats. Anyway, what name did you intend it to be, I cant see it for the life of me.
|

I meant Gore Vidal - who I had mistook for Vidal Sassoon. Need to do DBCC REINDEX BRAIN.
|
|
|
|
|
Ahhh, gotcha. Yes, thats quite different. Didnt Sassoon do hair though and not couture?
|
|
|
|
|
Right - that's it Brain - you're fired! It's google only from now on.
|

Not saying you can't have smart hair, but clothes did spring to mind first.

Perhaps the bird is a Raven (that is a hair colour)

Under duress, I bought a PS4 pro last week and I have to say the graphics on it are quite splendid, but I'm struggling with the controls. The last time I devoted a significant lump of my life to online gaming was when the original Call Of Duty (on PC) came out about 2003ish I think. I got quite good at it.
My current thinking is that the PS4 controller is a blunt tool for running around shooting at stuff - I miss the precise control of the mouse.
Any advice? Am I right in thinking the mouse is king here?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Doesn't using a joystick mean you get legal aimbotting aim assist?
|
|
|
|
|
Basically yeah. That is how pretty much all games work. You get aim assistance while using a joystick or gamepad, and I think that might be the reason that games don't let PC players and console players play each other online.
|
|
|
|
|
Aha, right. So the joystick is so inaccurate the game corrects it for you. That kind of takes the skill away.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

It depends on the game and usually online it is banned / disabled automatically. Halo 3 (or 4? can't remember) had a terrible joystick control that was nearly not progressive at all and caused me and my family nausea - one of the few games that ever did that to me. It hadn't aim assist and for me it was unplayable.

Right enough that when a shooter (can't remember whioch one, maybe a CoD) opened mixed servers for both PS and PC gamers they were forced to separate the platforms because palyers with keyboard + mouse were nearly unbeatable by console gamers.

I quit gaming (pretty much cold turkey) 10+ years ago, but even by that time I had been gaming for well over 20 years. Never, throughout that entire time, did I ever get used to console controllers. To this day, I'm useless with them. Mouse/keyboard FTW.
[Edit]
A few weeks ago I lucked out and managed to score a NES Classic (the now-discontinued miniaturized NES that Nintendo came out with last November, which had been impossible to find). Because it's got "one of those controllers", total use since then amounts to under 20 minutes...

|
|
Why did you quit? Were you spending too much time doing it?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Sudden and complete loss of interest in gaming. I call it "growing old".
I still make an exception for the Grand Theft Auto series however, although with the 4-5 year gap (?) between games, by the time the next one comes out, what I last used for a gaming machine needs to be upgraded...so the repeating pattern has been to put together a kick-ass machine, play the game, then when I'm done with it, the machine gets recycled as a VM host (with an overkill video card)...
