  • Even if it isn't that... that's not how you change your position on something.

    The normal way would be:

    1. Admit that you are changing your stance on something (Zelensky is not a dictator, even though I previously said he is)
    2. Refer to something that changed your position on the matter ("When I said he is a dictator, I did not know that...")
    3. Explain how it changes your view ("This new information has convinced me that....")

    But saying "Oh, I said that?" is just... dumb and pathetic. Not that it's surprising, coming from him.

  • Someone should tell them this isn't the twentieth century anymore.

  • Yes, for you and me, this is useful information. But here is where I think, for less savvy users, even a blanket error would be really helpful, focusing on next steps the user can try.

  • Thanks for the tip, and yes, I can do that, I can check logs, but the point of my post is to have some information that a less experienced user can access and get a clue on what to try next.

    BTW in the case of RE2remake, the solution was to switch the game to the beta branch, redownload it, then launch it again - it worked, but I only know this, because of a post on the Steam board of the game. Here is where a blanket error would come in handy ("try this, this, and this, then switch to beta and try that, etc."), if there is absolutely no information about the nature of the error.

    Games that won't launch and won't give you any errormessage

  • Space bar not pausing / unpausing a video and skipping half way down the comments

    Yes! That's the other one I forgot to mention! 😆

  • Indeed, this is on desktop. Curiously, on mobile, I don't really have a problem with YouTube, apart from the infuriating length and abundance of ads.

  • Good points... But it's even more bizarre, if you think about it: apparently the only person to never have used the YouTube player, is... the guy who designed it? What the...? 🫤

    Never have I ever pressed right arrow on a YouTube video, expecting the volume to go slightly up
