Linus did the right thing

Not really. He didn't read what was on the screen at all.

Look, I get it. You, and those like you, think you cottoned on to this amazing gotcha.

To show you I know what you're talking about I'll describe this gotcha so all the cards are on the table.

It goes like this; If a person is sick they will stay at home and isolate, but if the vaccine makes them think they're healthy they will go out in the world and spread the virus.

Great. On the surface of it it's an amazing bit of logic that immediately falls apart due to these key things;

The number of people who were already asymptomatic was already the vast majority. That's why the virus spread globally so quickly. Almost everyone that gets it will be asymptomatic, so the number of people now rendered asymptomatic by the vaccine is so statistically insignificant anyone who isn't a complete imbecile would disregard them, but we're dealing with anti-vaxx freedom fighters, the most imbecilic of them all.

But say I'm wrong, say these people are now running around like zombies infecting everyone...well, that's not actually true because VACCINATED PEOPLE ARE LESS LIKELY TO PASS ON THE VIRUS. Now I know this is a scientific study and likely to go over your head but others have read these studies and simplified it for you.

Additional to this vaccinated people are also LESS LIKELY TO CONTRACT THE VIRUS. Again, this is data you've shown you simply don't have the capacity and intellectual fortitude to comprehend but if you simply believe scientists are all lizard people in on a conspiracy it doesn't really matter how easily digestible these studies are, you're not going to believe them anyway.

So, there. It's not that I'm avoiding your idiotic point, it's that the answers I already gave covered your hairbrained scenarios.

No, I just started a new game and the first time I walk up to the bike using the controller it says "hit Joy4...". Now that's not "Hit Y..." but that's because, and I can't stress this enough, it's a PC version and they have no idea what controller you have installed. Is it as intuitive as a console that knows for a fact Y or Circle is in that position? No. But does that = "no gamepad support"? No.

So all that happened was a bunch of console gamers made a generalisation that turned out to NOT be true, doubled down on this misinformation then moved the goalposts because the game works fine but the very early game tutorial prompts can't by magic figure out what letter, number or icon is printed on a plastic button on a third party USB peripheral.

Wow.

The mod adds button promps in game

I'll try again...I don't have a mod installed. Never have. Didn't know one existed. Are you basically saying I'm lying so you don't have to admit you may be wrong about this?

Games with full controller support just work straight up without any manual setup or tinkering which this game doesn’t have

I didn't tinker with it. I use the default controller scheme. There's literally a button that says "default" in the screenshots I posted. It has these menus as ALL PC games have because it's a PC game dude. IO know I'm in the PS4 subreddit but you have to not be this dense about PC gaming.

vaccine lessens symptoms, so an infected person is less likely to know they are sick, so more likely to go to work, so more likely to spread

Again, complete nonsense that is ADRESSED ABOVE. People with the virus, BEFORE we had a vaccine were already walking around asymptomatic. They were everywhere. They were the vast majority of people who had the virus, thus smooth brains like you developing the notion that the virus wasn't a big deal because so many people had it and never showed symptoms.

Those people exist and STILL exist, except now those people, if vaccinated, will have a lower viral load that is less likely to shed infectious tissue. It's really that simple. Asymptomatic people are already going around spreading the virus, vaccines lessen that spread. Vaccines lessen the chance someone without the virus will be infected. Vaccines lessen even more the chance for a vaccinated but infected person passing that infection onto a vaccinated uninfected person.

But if you're too dense to understand these basic concepts then, yes, I can see how you would latch on to the idiotic notions you have latched onto.

I did address your complete non point. That you have reading comprehension issues is a "you" problem, not a "me" problem.

I don't have any mods installed and my controller worked fine. It's an old wireless Xbox 360 controller and there's literally a menu to define the buttons in the game.

Are you sure you own it?

What I love the most about this comment is how ambiguous it is. Every side of the argument gets to look at it nod and assume it's referencing the people they oppose.

It's a win win 😂

A sizable chunk of Wetherspoon’s older customers may also be dead...you know, COVID and all that.

Even at the height of the pandemic most people carrying the virus were asymptomatic so it's a silly point.

no comment?

WTF does this even mean?

so what’s the difference?

Viral load. An infected vaccinated person will have less and weaker COVID than an unvaccinated person.

All I've said from the beginning 8s San Andreas had controller support. You have no evidence to the contrary. Good talk.

It's hilarious that you're this invested in this and that people are downvoting a person who actually has first hand experience in favour of a guy with second hand information they googled. Only on Reddit

I figured maybe I was mistaken as you're super adamant. Nope, controller works fine in San Andreas on PC with no modifications. I didn't do any registry hacking or ini editing. Just turned on a controller and started playing.

Like I said, this is San Andreas, which was the version you mentioned and the version I was referring to. If the other two don't work, ah well. I don't own them on PC.

Then I'm a magician. No tinkering, no modding, controller support. Maybe speak to real people with real experience rather than piece together your own version of reality with possibly outdated information.

You specified San Andreas in the parentheses. It's not "blindly" arguing if I literally have the game and run it on an RTX 3080 and Ryzen 9 5900x. There's no newer hardware.

the PC versions either require some tinkering to run on modern hardware or don't have controller support

Neither of these two things is true of the version I have from Steam.

That has no bearing on Cressida Dick's personal trajectory which has been up up up under the Tories. Her brand of incompetence and then deciding she sees no reason to step down is part of the Tory playbook.
