Your sudden but short-lived lathe-ing adventure.

Just toss it into that huge pile of ex-hobbies.

Can't be, you don't see him showing off with a Single Action Army revolver.

The last point should say "... and stop halfway, because I don't feel like it anymore".
Or "... but get stuck halfway because I found something interesting in one of the drawers."

In general, yes, but to be this petty and go this far to do it unironically would've been sad.

There's a good chance this person is doing this ironically, which makes it ok.

But please don't buy Cybertrucks ironically.

It's not really that ironic. Something more ergonomic with the same tactile short travel buttons would've worked even better, you can just also do it with a keyboard, albeit not as comfortably.

Why are humans the only ones eating? It's the dog's day!

Yeah, I'm not strictly comparing KBM vs. gamepad. As you mentioned, keyboards are just not ergonomic, and that's what I was basically saying. So you understood my point precisely, I, too, want to see more options.

I think it stuck around because the primary purpose of a computer is still information handling, and thus almost all of them require a keyboard. And since keyboard is always included and is "good enough" people just kept using what was available. History is littered with cases where something stuck merely because it was good enough and easily available. The QWERTY layout itself is a good example. There are layouts that are much better, yet 99% of the keyboards still use it. Because alt layout keyboards are scarce and using them requires relearning. All while QWERTY is good enough.

That's not stupid, that's malicious. Well, and stupid, but malicious first.
