Comment Stop with the fucking Start Button bullshit. (Score 2) 516

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 have faced a boat load of criticism and hatred, partly due to the removal of the Start button and Start menu.

Start Menu. A button is just a fucking button and only necessary to show you where to click. That's how the majority of 8's blatant mistakes with all the hold mouse here, charms bar, and other nonsense.

[...] if you can circumvent one amendment, you can circumvent them all, and down that road lies fascism.

Which, of course, is why gun owners are famous for defending free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of (and from) religion, the right to peacefully assemble, the right to a speedy and fair trial, against unreasonable searches and seizures....

Sadly, battery-backed saves don't last. My Pokemon Crystal is nigh unplayable because of it and I remember as a kid having the same issue with Zelda on the NES. N64 and Gamecube controllers can't handle the beatings that the consoles can. My Gamecube has occasional read issues but it's lasted thousands of hours, many a tens of hours play sessions or overnight cheeze-fests to level up RPG characters (or I'd fall asleep with it on while leveling up). But yeah... RIP analog sticks. :(

It certainly does feel like a desktop replacement with some livetiles replacing the previous widgets and system tray notifications but with that in mind, it's odd that they left the original desktop and this solution to prevent needing to minimize programs came with full screen or splitscreen only apps.

Except it wouldn't be. It wouldn't be articulate explanations of their situation, maybe current reserves of food, water, and air, nor of any meaningful footage of construction, exploration, or scientific progress.

What it would be the glorification of one person's feelings being hurt because of another and, since you suggested it, a mouthy, annoying narrator who'll do recap and promos and puns and more recaps and commercial teasers and more puns and re-explaining what the people on the show just fucking said and more recaps/teasers/puns.

To me, a really interesting reality show was How It's Made. And then Discovery took it off the air for 'MURICAN Guns and all sorts of stupid bullshit "reality" shows.
