Typing on this thing was a dream.

Willdrick,

Which version? The daisy wheel or the dual thumb keyboard?

I kinda miss the older circular mode, it was hard to get used to, but it was really quick and precise

papertowels,

I think I remember the dual thumb, but I just remember being amazed at how responsive it was

Really hoping the rumors of a new steam controller are true!

I love my steam controllers. Surprisingly where they shined best for me was in racing games. Single joystick was enough for steering. Trackpad+gyro was great for flicking to look around and if there is nos or boost in the game I would always map it to the button for full press on the trigger. Legitimately not an experience you could replicate with any other controller.

I have three. One still fully packaged for when the other two die

I’ve had one since the release 2015. The best controller and, unfortunately, the most worn out of em all. I really need a SC2. It still works just like the first day (well, better since it got software updates), but it’s so damn worn out. Fuck, I’m actually, seriously considering paying those crazy amounts people are selling them (HAS TO BE NEW!) for online. It’s sick how good it is.

Nikt ci tego nie powie. :) Serio, wiesz to najlepiej sam*. Są różne pytania które można sobie zadać, ale każdy jest inny i odczuwa to samo inaczej. Jakikolwiek szablon może akurat do ciebie nie pasować.

Jest jedna rzecz, która się nie zmienia: ludzie którzy nie są trans, nie poświęcają wiele czasu na zastanawianie się nad tym. Jeśli to tylko przelatująca myśl, to nie będzie cię męczyć na tyle żeby to roztrząsać. A to już poważny sygnał że coś może być na rzeczy. I to jest najlepsza wskazówka, a nie to, czy kiedyś tam w swoim życiu wpisywał*ś się w jakiś obraz męskości czy kobiecości.

I couldn’t get one myself. The battery issue is none for me. It’s not rare that battery replacement becomes (nearly) impossible for final users once it reaches its EOL, so I switched to gadgets that use standard size rechargeable batteries if possible.

Buffalobuffalo,

I’ve used a rotating group of four steam controllers for years with no leakage, i use rechargeable eneloops. Is this written by a bot?

selokichtli,

No, I’m not a bot? What do you mean?

The steam controller takes AA batteries. Doesn’t get much more “standard size” than AA.

selokichtli,

Which is one of the reasons I’d still buy one.

@noxypaws@pawb.social avatar

I honestly wish the Dualsense took AAs. I’ve really grown to appreciate how Xbox controllers have always been two AA. Making a small investment in a bunch of Eneloop batteries and chargers is SO worth it.

I loved it, but I rarely use it anymore these days. Often enough, trying to remap the inputs on it errors out in the Steam Input interface, and I’ve gotten tired of fighting with it. I also never used the left pad for anything and would have preferred an actual D-pad. The right trackpad, especially when paired with gyro controls, is so much better than a right stick for every function you could use a right stick for, and I’ve put it through its paces; but that only works when you can map an actual mouse. Often times, the game will explicitly switch between “controller mode” and “mouse and keyboard” mode, and I hate playing with a controller but seeing keyboard glyphs. Also, due to my preferences, and where the market has headed lately, there have been very few games coming out where I need to “aim”, which is where the Steam controller beat a traditional Xbox controller by the widest margin. So unfortunately, between the software being a pain and there not being a compelling reason to bother putting up with it, I haven’t been using my Steam controller lately.

atomicpoet,

I feel a right stick is more useful for games deliberately designed as twin stick shooters. Geometry Wars is a good example of this. Using a trackpad for aiming is fine, but that doesn’t really feel like an arcade experience.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I have done twin-stick shooters like Streets of Rogue and Enter the Gungeon, and I found it to only control better than a second stick.

@TwinTitans@lemmy.world avatar

Game pass is good for one month and playing like 3 single player games. But it’s really been the final nail, last gasp whatever you want to call it for XBOX. Its not sustainable, has stalled out and larger developers have had enough of getting f**** over.

knokelmaat, do gaming w I have about 55 hours of flights coming up. I’m thinking about the deus ex collection. Any thoughts?

I have 600 hours in Slay the Spire and still want to play more. Heck, why not play a run right now…

This is me every flight. Got a Switch with lots of stuff, ebooks, music and whatnot. Always end up playing Slay the Spire on my phone.

knokelmaat,

This is the way :). I sadly lost my previous run. Was good enough to get to the boss of act 3, but Time Eater decided that was enough.

Keep exploring around that area. You’ll know the item you need when you find it - the only hint I’ll give is that you’ll be running for your life. Good luck

Suck_on_my_Presence,

I definitely was running for my absolute life, you’re not wrong.

bluespin,

Well done! Enjoy the rest of the game - it’s a special one

    But in short, PirateSoftware had a fall from grace for narcissism and with his previous opposition to the petition, became a “villain” to unite against.

    Jankatarch,

    Misinterpreted the article, made a video about it. Ignored his own comments calling him out on it.

    Was overall an asshole “I know more than all of you” through, tone and everything.

    Then doubled down.

    Ricaz,

    Business as usual for Thor, sadly
