I think I may have always mispronounced one or both of these then.

Man, English pronunciation, I swear.

Hmm, it is similar to a J, and may become the same depending on the speaker, but not necessarily exactly the same

Ooh wow you're right.

Close to me is "closs"

Close the door is "cloz"

I never noticed

Close isn't always pronounced the same?!

Assuming it's just like a Steam Deck without the screen, how would that compare to popular controllers like consoles first-party ones or 8bitdo's offerings?

My doctor did 10, 20, 30, 40, and I ended up going back to 30 to reduce the tachycardia. I weigh 74 kg.

Maybe we're just really different people. Or maybe my doctor is just really really careful

The Switch is fantastic for what it is. Sure, it's anemic and old, but it's a creative design that more or less created a whole product category and allows for very creative gameplay.

They did push their luck a bit with BOTW and especially TOTK, regarding performance, sure. But most of the time, you really don't need incredible processing power to play a Nintendo game. They're overdue for a Switch 2 (I suspect they planned to release that much earlier but a combination of the pandemic and higher sustained sales than anticipated changed their plans), but I really don't think most of their consoles can be considered mistakes.

IMO Nintendo brings something different and it's very much okay that it exists.

What I'm actually doubtful about is Xbox and Sony. Those are just PC-controller combos, made cheap through standardisation, high volumes and loss-leader tactics, essentially. Microsoft and, to a lesser but similar degree, Sony, are the ones I'm not convinced provide the world with much value by making consoles.

• there are lots of different drugs, and not all of them work on everyone. You may have to try several until you find one that works well and doesn't have too many undesirable effects on you.
• usually they start you on a low dose and increase gradually, kind of similarly to how they do for antidepressants. So you won't really feel the full effect right away. Though starting with 30 mg of lisdexamfetamine is kinda intense. Unless you're a properly massive individual, I'm amazed the doctor just went there straight away. You could've had really unpleasant cardiac side effects. Glad it doesn't seem like you did.
• it's not like cocaine. The effect is supposed to be relatively subtle if it's right for you.

Have you tried brush-gloves? The idea is that they allow you to brush your pet every time you pet them. Having several in every room where you're likely to spend time with your cat could be the key to brushing more while not feeling like you do.

A lot of authoritarian governments are/were elected though.

Both are young. I think that's about it.

I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.
