Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Touch screen. Some mimics console game controler. It's a widely accepted thing now.

Not saying that I like it myself, but lot of people do.

Yeah I didn't understand how anyone can play with so much of the screen taken up by buttons.

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It’s because of display size.

Back in the ancient times people used to divide mobile devices into phones, phablets and tablets. Nowadays, most phones are about the size of a phablet, so you totally have the screen real estate for buttons.

I guess that's why small phones died.

Man, I miss those.
