threelonmusketeers,

That was one of the more cinematic stage separations I’ve seen in a while. Beautiful shot from the upper stage camera.

Buzztiger,

Yes beautiful!

clothes,

I’m impressed by the quality of their onboard cameras, without the help of starlink.

threelonmusketeers,

Seems like they might be between ground stations right now. Haven’t seen live video from the upper stage for a few minutes. Telemetry still looks good though.

Looks like we have SECO-1 and nominal orbit insertion!

Edit: Webcast commentary scheduled to resume T+52 minutes for a circularization burn and the first set of payload deployments.

Décollage!

coffinwood, do gaming w I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?

Hot take: Nintendo Switch Joycons. They’re a nice and clever concept but in reality they’re bad.

Too small even for casual games. The Wiimote was much better at it.

Very expensive at 80 € per set. Yes, you get two of them but in most games outside of Mario Kart you also need both. And even then they’re fine at best.

4 out of 4 of my controllers got stick drift. Nintendo had to be sued into repairing them.

sleepybisexual,

Fuck joycons

cRazi_man,

All the cool kids hate Joycons.

Seriously though, I replaced them immediately and never took them out of the drawer again.

sleepybisexual,

I used them for s bit before I got something better. The sticks have less travel than a fucking 3ds slider

JillyB,

On the other hand, you can play with your hands in completely different locations which is nice for being lazy on a couch.

coffinwood,

My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.

JillyB,

Yeah it’s not the best option. But it did popularize the form factor

algorithmae,

Which one? I’d love a controller that works for PC that I can split apart like joycons

coffinwood,

It’s a conventional GameSir controller that has a Switch mode among others. The split design of the Joycons rarely plays out, most of the time it makes the controllers unnecessarily complex and thus expensive IMHO.

algorithmae,

Sooo you can’t play with your hands in different positions like you said?

coffinwood,

You mean both hands have to grip one controller opposed to having a Joycon in each hand? That split-design can be an advantage, but IMHO doesn’t cancel out the shortcomings of the Joycons. I find them still too small and not grippy at all.

algorithmae,

Here’s the comment chain as a reminder.

OP:

On the other hand, you can play with your hands in completely different locations which is nice for being lazy on a couch.

You literally replied:

My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.

So can you play with your hands in completely different locations with your “conventional GameSir controller” or not?

If not, why did you say that you could?

coffinwood,

Sorry I misunderstood. And literally followed up with a clarification so what’s the problem

Palbous,

And literally followed up with a clarification

You weren’t clear until now. I know I spent a couple of minutes looking for a GameSit controller that splits, hahaha.

I think they are actually really good at very specific things, the clicky buttons are great for ace attorney and tetris

brsrklf,

Single joycon is barely usable, but the Wiimote was terrible for sideways holding.

Its shape was clearly never intended for it, and the d-pad was absolutely awful, one of the worst I’ve used.

The d-pad worked as buttons (which was how most games used it, in vertical mode), but for movement it was very stiff and almost impossible to get diagonals. For a console that featured virtual console heavily and needed a lot of classic controls, that was very bad design.

_Lory98_,

I hate the Joycons so much. The clicky buttons are terrible, the split dpad sucks for games that use it for movement, the sticks aren’t great either for precision (ignoring the drift issues), and I find them painful to hold.

ESA webcast is live! youtube.com/watch?v=B0oFpOJaIYc

FYI to everyone: there are several fake “ESA Official” YouTube channels running deepfaked Elon crypto scam streams that claim to be “Ariane 6 Launch Stream”.

They’re nothing new, but sharing in case anyone hasn’t seen it before. Those aren’t real streams!

Rocket fuelled up now , so everything going ahead smoothly…

threelonmusketeers,

Thanks! Updated the main post.

Wohoo a proper launch thread. Thank you!

Let’s hope they manage to launch at the beginning of the window.

So for Amsterdam/Berlin timezone that’s starting at 20:00 tonight.
