The best part is (in my experience) come Sunday those spots will be filled, most often not by handicapped people.

What really sucks is that it was added somewhat recently with their new pvp mode, which I couldn't care less about. I paid for the game, and they made it unplayable for me.

I think the people doing the rewrites genuinely believe it will be an improvement, and they could be correct. I get the instinct to "don't fix what ain't broken", but that is what staging is for. There is no need to make sacred cows, and this seems like a perfect opportunity to improve security and integration testing as well.

You could try adding Steamdeck=1 %command% to the game's launch arguments.

I don't hate telemetry, and words do have meanings. I wouldn't call it a consumer attraction, however, otherwise it would make the most sense to design it as opt-in.

Telemetry isn't malicious by nature, although it likely is in support of predatory sales practices in this case considering HP's recent history. When opt-out, I would call it undesirable software designed to send unauthorized data from a consumer perspective.

Maybe there is a better term, but I can't think of one. Language is flexible though, and most categorizations have defiers.

Fair point, although it feels wrong to refer to malware as a feature.

FYI that sounds like ADHD to me. Not something to act on unless it becomes a problem, but I wish my parents would have recognized it when I was struggling.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (people who think BL2 is better than TPS are wrong)

Are you Australian by chance? I have a lot of complaints about TPS, but then after watching some taskmaster Australia I had a theory; I wonder if there is some fundamental difference in preferred pacing that causes those to fall flat for other audiences? In dialog, humor, events, etc.
