One of them Carpenter nerd types.
Probably that first NES controller… Those corners were hell on the palms.
Edited to clarify. And you can roll separated buttons just as easily… I know because I’d do it a lot on the psp with dj max.
The directional pad is four separate buttons. Up down left right. I want them to be like the c buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller. Separate.
What ends up happening with me is that I’ll press down but not squarely down. There is a good chance I’ll press partially to the left or right while using smaller d pads. This causes extra inputs I didn’t intend to do happen. The ds made playing tetris much harder on me than it should have for me.
Yeah, I just wish they’d split the directionals.
I do not know what the industry wide obsession is with connected D-pads, but my chunky thumbs do not appreciate it.
And with that in mind, the Playstation style of controllers are the closest thing to my ideal controller currently on the market.
Also, I prefer thumbstick under D-pad just in case I need to hit one of those buttons regularly I have a few options.
Too many to list.
They all either:
Died
Got cancelled
Pandered to a younger audience of which I am not.
Terraria. An old friend popped up to ask me if I’d like to play and it’s been many updates ago and at least a decade since I last played. We are playing both calamity and Fargo souls mods mashed together and having a hell of a time with the extreme difficulty as we work through the boss fights.
Not to mention our life schedules work out to 2 hours a day.
You’ve been missing out. Customizable vapes allow for flavor and nicotine customizations as well. I weened myself off of the nicotine some years ago, but I do still occasionally take a poof of the melon mix that I like.
The part that’s wild to me is people who have the option to never touch the addictive agent of smoking still opt into it for some strange reason.
It’s the one game I would suggest hands down to anyone to play. From non-gamers on up. The game is a short masterpiece and one of a very few to elicit an emotional reaction out of me. I cannot sing it’s praises enough.
I finally started doing story missions in dragons dogma 2. I’m level 60 and just started quests in the first main city.
Inoreader for android. It’s just a news links aggregator that you opt in various topics or networks and get fed a plethora of headlines and links to the articles. Sometimes they’ll even grab a paragraph or two from the article. I started using that at the same time I hopped on Lemmy.
Nah I’m not nice though I am considerate. I’m not socially… apt… but I know how to act.
I don’t think I played anything over the past week. I’ve been thinking about trying some fresh builds in nova drift, which is in it’s final steps to full release.
I remembered that I played dragons dogma 2, as I also did last night and there is something inherently wrong with the later parts in that game. I’m wandering through the desert sections of the map, clearing everything as I go, and I’ve flat out lost pawns while just walking on major paths. They get stuck running into a cliff face somewhere and no commands or anything else will tell them to knock it off. I literally have to go to them, pick them up, and move them away from the wall. I must have missed one of them getting this stuck as she simply despawned completely instead of teleporting back to the group. I have been besieged by roaming groups of what might as well be orcs only to look at the minimal and realize my front men are somewhere 100m back. It’s so incredibly frustrating.
And then hilariously I happen across this article today about a free unreal 5 version of fable some fan has made. From the looks it seems like a prettying up of the original, but might not have changed much if anything about the gameplay.
After spending a bit of time back on the original, I can say that the camera controls are just naturally janky, though it is significantly worse on the anniversary edition and it might be due to something as simple as the increased aspect ratio.
There was some random video on YouTube about the original fable and I had the urge to play it again. At some point had received the anniversary edition on steam so I loaded it up. 30 minutes and a bit of motion sickness later I uninstalled it and went hunting for my actual original disk. Found it, installed it, and the options and controls are so much better… It’s amazing that they ported the Xbox version for the anniversary edition and didn’t bother to include things like mouse sensitivity, smoothing, acceleration, or really any pc specific options.
The main issue is that the camera seems to be connected to more than just character location, it seems to also be connected to orientation of some part of the character, like the hip. Combat is jittery as all hell, movement isn’t pleasant, and everything else hardly matters… I will be playing the original.
D-pad for precision, analog for thereabouts.
Or in monster hunter, d-pad for camera with index finger, analog for movement with thumb, embrace claw until everything cramps.
I thought about playing a lot of things. I spent about 2 hours in helldivers 2 and that was about it for the week.
Asexual. There’s a lot of us around these parts for whatever reason.
There are levels and layers to sexuality, with some being absolutely disgusted by the idea of anything romantic related at all, while I’d say the opposite end of it being those who are actively willing to engage in sex, but don’t get anything physically out of it themselves.
The biggest thing to note from any asexual person is the general apathy on the importance of sex as a thing to experience. Being one myself, I can’t really claim to know amazing it is, but I can guess that if it’s what some people think about constantly, get addicted to, and continue to engage in after having enough kids that it’s financially impossible to support them… It must be pretty good for some people.
