- Comment on Microsoft shows another Bing popup advertisement to Windows users - gHacks Tech News 8 months ago:
I have a laptop with Win 11 installed as default, and dear gods is it exhausting to work with. Right-click has been neutered to the point where I have to click “extra-options” every ducking time because they moved the options I actually need behind another damn click.
If Microsoft would take a lesson from the failure of Clippy, and stop trying to “help me” (jerk off motion) I might stick with it. But as it is, and as it’s going, they are trying to tablet-ify the UX to the point it’s useless on desktop (why the fuck do I have to dismiss a blank screen in order to actually input my password when logging in?!).
Once I get the important files transferred out, it’s Linux baby!

An oldie but goldie: Grim Fandango
You drive your character like a tank, up moves him forward from his perspective, though there might be a setting to change that, it’s been years.
When you walk around the environment, Manny will turn his head to look at interactive objects, then you have “interact”, “examine”, or “pickup”.
The inventory screen is a close up of his jacket, where he reaches in a pulls something out. Hit the “next item” keyboard shortcut and he puts that object back into his jacket, and pulls out the next item.
Example of inventory screen: static.wikia.nocookie.net/…/MarkedCard.jpg
