@polamatysiak nagrała odcinek podcastu o sprawie. Nie odsłuchałem jeszcze do końca, ale to co usłyszałem mnie raczej przekonuje przynajmniej do tego, żeby nie robiąc przedwczesnej burzy patrzeć co się tam wydarzy.
Neopets still exists and is going strong! The community is wholesome and so amazing, You can play it on your phone’s internet browser, it’s wonderful nostalgic break from everything else, and they have a TON of free games built in… Solitaire, Pyramids, Bullshit, Battleship, Minesweeper, Brick Breaker, Mahjong, Blackjack, Poker, Keno, etc.
I still play every day and have a BUNCH of goodies for new players, if you do check it out!
I haven’t been on neopets in years and now I can’t login anymore. I think at a certain point they changed their login system and my email got lost so I can’t do password recovery anymore. Such a shame because I had put in a lot of work into that account as a kid and had millions saved up.
There’s definitely a learning curve to it but if you put the time and effort into it the trackpads can become second nature. I don’t really care for gyro but your mileage may vary. Take some time playing with the different setting adjustments to figure out what works best and then try to stick with those settings across different gamesto build up your muscle memory. Personally I find 175% sensitivity, trackball friction high, haptics off to be most comfortable. I started practicing with Amid Evil since its controls are quite basic, and moved up from there. Now I don’t even think about the controls and I recently enjoyed a full playthrough of Doom 2016 with no gyro or aim assist. Another approach that might help your coordination and fluency could be to spend time playing something highly mouse-centric like Torchlight, Titan Quest, FTL, etc. It’ll feel really clumsy trying to click around at first but after several hours it’ll probably start to feel more natural. As for the rest of your movement, I recommend setting up the back buttons for jump/crouch/walk/sprint so you don’t have to take your thumbs off the sticks/pads.
A lot of it is going to be game-specific, and spending time tweaking the control settings until you find what feels responsive to you.
The rest of it is going to be technique, and a lot of trial and error to find out what works best for your play style. For instance, I can't do fast-paced, twitchy movements on a controller (even things that are technically possible to do on a controller; I just don't have the dexterity anymore), so I have to adopt a different play style when using a controller. I usually will go for a more support-based role, if possible; opting for long-range weapons/abilities, and playing a more patient, campy game. I play slower and more methodically this way, and try to position myself so that I don't ever get into the situations where I need to react to somebody closing the gap on me in the first place.
For me, it's an entire mindset shift. If I play the same game on M/K, I'll be playing with a much faster, reaction-centric style instead of one where my movements are more premeditated.
Some other tips will be learning to do things like using your left stick for fine-tuning your aim (you can get very precise horizontal micro-adjustments by leveraging your player's position, which can be useful for getting your shot off before the other guy does), experimenting with gyro controls if that's an option for you, or trying joystick extenders (small gadgets that clip onto your sticks to extend their effective length, which may make aiming easier).
As far as what to practice in, I don't know of any aim trainers that are designed for controller, so I'd say you should just practice with a game that you either don't care about or where it doesn't matter if you lose a bunch. I'd recommend The Finals; it's free to play, the default quickplay mode is active and puts you into a match quickly, and it's super low-stakes so you don't have to feel bad about experimenting during a live match. Your teammates don't have loot drops or anything hinging on your success, so if you play badly, nobody cares. And it's got pretty robust customization options for the controller settings (dead zones, acceleration curves, etc), which can help you figure out what settings you respond best to and what to look out for in the settings of other games. It has a huge variety in movement/weapon options, so you'll end up developing skills/habits that will transfer over to other games quite easily.
I didn't mean to weirdly steer this into becoming an ad for The Finals. But it's a very controller-friendly FPS that I think will be beneficial to practice with. I think it's also pretty fun, but that's subjective.
In my opinion one of the greatest games but also one of the saddest. If you already own the game then I highly recommend all the DLC as they all bring some interesting scenarios to the game.
Played it pirated years ago. Not really looking to play again tbh because it’s so sad, but I’ll buy it discounted for supporting, I back then liked the very original angle of playing with trapped victims instead of army.
I played Superhot first on the Deck. Since time only moves (much) when you’re moving, you have lots of time to practice aiming and getting used to track pads/stick + gyro controls. It requires precise aiming, and there are occasional times where speed helps, so it was a good “training” game for me.
It’s still not as natural as KB+mouse, but I’ve been enjoying Ziggurat 2 a lot (on normal difficulty). I won’t push into hard modes, like I would on PC, but it’s working well for me.
