Right enough that when a shooter (can't remember whioch one, maybe a CoD) opened mixed servers for both PS and PC gamers they were forced to separate the platforms because palyers with keyboard + mouse were nearly unbeatable by console gamers.

I quit gaming (pretty much cold turkey) 10+ years ago, but even by that time I had been gaming for well over 20 years. Never, throughout that entire time, did I ever get used to console controllers. To this day, I'm useless with them. Mouse/keyboard FTW.
[Edit]
A few weeks ago I lucked out and managed to score a NES Classic (the now-discontinued miniaturized NES that Nintendo came out with last November, which had been impossible to find). Because it's got "one of those controllers", total use since then amounts to under 20 minutes...

Why did you quit? Were you spending too much time doing it?

Sudden and complete loss of interest in gaming. I call it "growing old".
I still make an exception for the Grand Theft Auto series however, although with the 4-5 year gap (?) between games, by the time the next one comes out, what I last used for a gaming machine needs to be upgraded...so the repeating pattern has been to put together a kick-ass machine, play the game, then when I'm done with it, the machine gets recycled as a VM host (with an overkill video card)...

Depends.
The PS4 controller is kinda suck; the X-Box 360/One controller is much more comfortable to use. I greatly prefer it to KB/M for shooters.

Yes, the mouse is king.
A few years ago, someone tested an online shooter where XBox and Windows users could compete. Windows users dominated the XBox users. I remember the universal opinion being that it was the mouse/keyboard which allowed much finer control. I've never much liked consoles anyway, but it does seem that most have aimbots built in.

I never played many games on the PC (Scumm games and DooM notwithstanding), so I'm more used to using a joypad, and not having to sit up straight to use mouse & keyboard.
That said, I only ever play silly little gamed on my phone, nowadays -- I'm even thinking of writing one myself, and calling it "Bloated Battery Killer!"

I hope so as well, they could then conduct an operation faraday or more.

Are you sure that is proper current usage?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Alessia Cara - How Far I'll Go[^]
So last week I've seen Vaiana (or Moana outside of Europe), the newest Disney "classic".
Not their best, but still an entertaining Disney.
With a very catchy song (just a little less catchy than Let It Go from Frozen) 
It's been stuck in my head for days now.
I've had worse stuck in my head
Bonus:

Google’s venture capital arm and other backers poured about $120 million into the startup. Juicero sells the machine for $400, plus the cost of individual juice packs delivered weekly. Tech blogs have dubbed it a “Keurig for juice.”
But after the product hit the market, some investors were surprised to discover a much cheaper alternative: You can squeeze the Juicero bags with your bare hands.

From what I could understand about the product is that the pouch actually contained fresh fruits/vegetables and that was supposed to be crushed by the machine (which could be a nice idea), but it turned out that the pouch contained mostly the juice itself.
Anyway, useless gadget.
I'd rather be phishing!
