What a plot twist
I hate KB+M for everything but RTS games. Video games are meant to be played on a big ass TV on a couch with a controller and preferably on a console, but I'm old school. In any case if you go for a different setup might as well whore whoever you have close to you and watch as he/she get's the BBC while parroting "it's better that more people can play my gf".

thats not evolution, thats Artificial selection, poachers hunt elephants with huge tusks so fast they cant reproduce.
>>342825239
>thats not evolution
Yeah it is, natural selection isn't the only mechanism evolution can work by. There's a reason it's always described as "evolution by natural selection".
>>342825239
>"artificial" selection

The source of selection pressure is irrelevant - whether it's meteorite dust blocking the sun or morons with rifles, it's still evolution.

It's evolution. They're adapting to better suit their environment.

>>342826208

>>342826191
No dude, that's called evolution of the species. Evolution is not a process where something evolves into something it needs to become, evolution is a process where things that are not sufficiently adapted to their environment die before they can reproduce. Whatever is sufficiently adapted DOES reproduce, and thus the species "evolves" because all that's left are members that have the trait that allowed them to survive.
>>342825539
It's evolution, but it doesn't occur naturally, so it's artificial/forced.

Fair enough, guess we can agree on that.
>Early research conducted in the 1990s indicates that a significant amount of female subjects affected by the PlayStation Thumb are having more pleasurable orgasms. The deformed finger is used by some as an organic dildo. The peculiar shape of the finger makes it apparently easier to reach the g-spot. The repeated movements – hysterical, frenzied fidgeting – is particularly common after consumption of alcohol beverages, which may suggest a correlation. It has been observed that, in some cases, subjects penetrate their own orifices with game controllers.

Arrow keys have space around them on purpose to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Product creators specifically designed keyboards that way so that people wouldn't destroy their hands while playing video games, but the foolish modern video gamers had to decide to be special and use the unsafe keys. It is even described on the back of every keyboard under the warnings section.
>people in this thread are taking this seriously
>>342827556
It's tumblr, 95% chance of it being serious
>>342827214
I haven't checked recently, but as far as I remember there's some kind of scientific consensus that humans are considered "natural predators" up to the point where technological advancement allowed us to basically do whatever the fuck we want with the planet, since we left the system of natural checks and balances.
But what the hell do I know, I ain't no biologist.

Tool usage has long been proven to not be unique to humans, it's not "the thing" that makes us "superior". There are a lot more factors involved and it's a lot more complicated than that.

lmao you dumb fuck. you think elephant genes are consciously making decisions? please go back to 1st grade. if poachers hunt elephants with big tusks, then big tusked elephants can't breed as much as small tusks elephants. therefore small tusks elephants would be more predominant in their herds or whatever the fuck they're called

If it's specifically for an old console game, then always look on emulation forums.
Getting into emulation turns people into full-on tech wizards if they stick with it for a few years, although if they go in too deep they turn into the general vidya equivalent of pokemon genwunners.

Usually I'd agree that this can be funny, but if you have no indication whatsoever on the page itself and have to go to a tiny credits link hidden all the way at the bottom to figure out that they might actually just be bullshitting then that just comes really close to a malevolent attempt to defame video games.
