Aside from the main vampire doing an Irish jig, in what way did they

A) Indicate he was Irish

and

B) Pick on him for being Irish?

“What kinda mileage does it get?”

“Cool, I went to the bar with my friends last night. What did you do?”

“Can you get me some more water?”

BOMBSHELL audio! Wow! I’m shocked they were able to find this legitimate audio that isn’t AI generated! And it was released by WatchMojo too! So glad to see they’re getting into the news business! Looking forward to WatchMojo’s “Top Ten Worst News Stories of 2025!”

Even if the audio is real, how is this a bombshell? It’s just what one guy said about another guy and no one who follows Trump religiously gives a shit about truth or reality.

Just adding here that when I first got into PC gaming, I was really into Battlefield 3 but hated the M+K controls for any of the vehicles so I would pick up my wired gamepad whenever I got into a vehicle.

If we had something that seamlessly mixed the strengths of both input methods, as it seems that the Switch 2 JoyCons do, that would solve so many of the problems I have with playing vehicle-heavy FPS games, or 3rd person action games that also include aiming a ranged weapon.

“any bluetooth mouse” needs to be paired with either a keyboard, or one of those split keyboards, or a gamepad in the other hand and none of those are very conducive to playing a game from the couch.

I’ll admit I haven’t tried the MouseMode at all, let alone on my lap or on the couch next to me but it sounds extremely novel and likely to catch on if it could work well.

If I were to use a trackball, I might as well use my old Steam Controller with its track pads which are practically the same.

I feel like the benefit of the Mouse Mode is you have two halves of a Steam Deck’s built-in controller, one in each hand, but instead of track pads you have an actual laser mouse. Maybe I’m being picky but this seems relatively revolutionary in my head

I think you’re missing the point. A standard mouse lacks a lot of stuff. Sure there are mice with peripheral buttons, and some with a lot of them, and even some with joysticks, but the Switch 2 JoyCons come with not just that, but a paired controller for your other hand that fits there much better than a full Xbox or Playstation or Switch Pro gamepad. Having a mouse built into the controllers would be just like having the Deck’s trackpads, except with more precision.
