Any other games that are “controller required”?

I don’t see this too often, games that don’t support mouse and keyboard, and it makes me wonder how many other games exist that are like that. I tried searching for Steam games that require controller but they always show games that prefer controller, but is still playable on mouse and keyboard.

What other games don’t support mouse and keyboard?

Offered Onsite Medical Representative position, wondering if I should take it?

Won't bore you with details but I'm currently between two job offers, one as an OMR for a warehouse outside the RVA area; I have 4+ years EMT experience and from everything I've read that doesn't really matter as I'm just a school nurse. Fine by me. The real question is the only knowledge I have for working at Amazon is in relation to the floor workers/pickers and the conditions they endure, all third-party info of course.

How stable/secure is the job overall? What's it like working as an OMR? Any advice? Is it worth it? I just need some input to make a well-informed decision from anonymous people who aren't trying to sell me the job during the interviews.

Any and all advice is welcome, thanks!

The Fortnite Trailer takes place post finale

Let’s pretend the trailer is canon to the series, making it the first official post-series piece of content. Secondly, let’s assume the trailer is 100% true, meaning three very important things are revealed:

  1. Jax has come back from abstraction.
  2. Other characters can come into the circus to visit, such as Jonesy who is an internet character.
  3. Gangle played Fortnite while in the circus.

But wait, surely this is insane and could be a pre-finale adventure. Caine could be making it all up for some goofy fun adventure for Pomni and Jax, but look at my image: Gangle asks about the shockwave hammers.

For those who don’t know the hammers were introduced in Chapter 4 Season 1 which started in 2022. I don’t remember exactly when they were vaulted, they were vaulted due to a bug for a few months after release but came back. That’s not 100% important.

What is important is this trailer takes place during a time the hammers were vaulted, and if TADC takes place in 2017 then this trailer is at least 5 years in the future after the hammers were introduced and vaulted, meaning at some point post finale Gangle played Fortnite when the hammers were around and left after they were vaulted either initially or later, and does not know if the hammers are back.

Basically, if this trailer is canon then it takes place more than 5 years after the finale, Jax has been cured of his abstraction status, and the gang can access the internet and even play video games. Jax also does seem more subdued here, like he’s chilled out. Caine is his normal self but it could be hes acting the part for Jonesy.

Also… where’s Bubble? You could argue that Bubble isn’t important to the trailer but Bubble is a pickaxe, so he could have shown up. I argue Bubble is still deleted per the finale, and the pickaxe is just representing his time in the circus, not that he’s been transformed like Zooble. We’ll ignore Gummigoo being a backbling and not in the trailer.

Anyway, insane lunatic rant over.

To summarize: Fortnite trailer is canon and takes place after the finale, Gangle plays Fortnite, and Jax is no longer abstracted. Oh, and internet characters can visit The Amazing Digital Circus.

To clarify this is partially a joke post but it supports my Jax abstraction theory so I like to believe it, and what’s funnier that it’s not canon or Gangle plays Fortnite and Jonesy has been hanging around the Circus for two weeks? I’m choosing to believe the funnier option.

Edit: I don’t know what happened to my picture, but it was Gangle asking about shockwave hammers. Oops. Reddit mobile ate my image.

Marathon failing means Destiny fails, it’s crazy that fanboys can’t see that

I keep seeing so many people in the Destiny subreddit talk about how if/when Marathon fails that it’ll push Sony into making Destiny 3, and that’s so ignorant I can’t even comprehend the thought process.

So if Sony loses out on more money from Bungie with Marathon failing they think that Sony is then going to pour *more* money into Bungie? Marathon is it, guys, if this game fails Bungie is done. I have no doubt they’ll shutter the studio and send the best talent to other Sony companies if they’re lucky.

I love Destiny, and I love Marathon, but anyone who thinks Sony losing a ton of money on Marathon will cause them to spend more money on a game series that has caused them a $750m impairment on Bungie is delusional.

Am I crazy? There cannot be people who actually believe Marathon’s failure will greenlit Destiny 3, right? It makes no sense from a business perspective.

“Well Marathon cost us half a billion, and Destiny 2 underperformed, so let’s spend another half billion on Destiny 3 I’m sure it won’t backfire, all those loyal fans signed a petition!”

Tell me it’s not bananas lmao

Edit: because I’m convinced people can’t read let me be clear, I didn’t say Destiny *failed* I said it *underperformed* which is what Sony said as much with their statement of the $750m impairment with Bungie.

To recap so there’s no mistake: Destiny didn’t fail but if Marathon fails then Bungie fails which means any hope for Destiny 3 or more content for Destiny 2 is probably out of the question. Destiny’s future is going to be tied to Marathon, Sony isn’t going to put money in Destiny 3 when Destiny 2 didn’t do as well as they needed for as much as they spent on Bungie, and if Marathon doesn’t do so well what do you think that means?

How many “underperforming” games come out before the studio closes or they move on to a different franchise? Not many. If your games don’t do as well as needed twice not a lot of companies get a third try.

No stones being thrown no shade being cast, just a simple observation of a company’s future in contrast to the people rooting for a failure of a game in the hopes it gives them what they want. Spoiler alert: that’s not how it works.

Another one hit with “verification method cannot be used”

I’ve been locked out of my Microsoft Account, Outlook included obviously, for a week now with my only minor salvation being my outlook phone app. Unfortunately because I’m a genius who added 2FA im one of those suffering from being unable to get an SMS code, preventing me from resetting my password. Of course, I wouldn’t need to reset my password if the password I had to reset in March was working.

I’ve been through every step imaginable, and my only current source of Outlook is my phone, which is fine at least that works but I can’t log in anywhere new, so my reset laptop can’t sign in to Microsoft (which was a fun journey to figure out how to make a local account, turns out you can’t if you connect to wifi unless you go through command prompt… thanks MS!), and I can’t access Gamepass, and I can’t use my laptop for emails.

I am so fucking frustrated with Microsoft. Oh but here’s the fun part, according to another user if you use https://account.live.com/password/reset to try and recover your username you can get an SMS code *there* but not if you click forgot password. Make that make fucking sense.

Moreso, because I have both email and phone number 2FA it’s not enough to have an email code sent, I *also* need an SMS code sent, but again it won’t send *unless I forgot my account username for some fucking reason*.

How can a trillion dollar company be so fucking incompetent, at least I take a little solace in the fact that I am not the only one with this issue. But even after making a new account for the sole purpose of talking to chat, and getting my ticket escalated they told me there’s nothing they can do. Are you fucking serious? The issue isn’t *mine* it’s *theirs*, they’re the ones unable to send me an SMS code!

Moreso, I *know* my password is right I had been forced to reset it two months ago and updated it in my passwords app, so why is it wrong?? Makes no sense!

Anyway, I don’t really need advice I’ve already done everything and looked up every solution and followed every video and not a single thing has worked for me.

I even tried the silly method of getting an SMS code from forgetting my username and using that in the forgot password field and saying “I have a code” in case it was just dumb enough to work. It was not.

I’m out of ideas, and frustrated I can’t access my Microsoft account elsewhere but my phone app, I mean I’m pretty sure being unable to access Gamepass, a service I pay for, has gotta be illegal. Think if I contact support and threaten legal action they’ll escalate it enough to fix my account? Haha. Wishful thinking.

I’m making my Gmail my primary because this is some kind of advanced incompetence that outshines all other incompetence ever seen before. So done with these clowns.
