I really enjoyed “Heading Out” this year which I felt was something a bit different and fresher feeling. Might be worth checking out!

The witness is a really interesting puzzle game that can be had for not that much.

Or if you are looking for something more actiony then I would recommend remnant: from the ashes or remnant 2. Described as souls like with guns, but they really change up the formula I found with semi random worlds and bosses.

Me personally, I like the 360 controller the most

Have you tried the Xbox One controllers? If so, what do you like better about the 360?

Bogusmcfakester,

Not op but the 360 controllers a tiny bit smaller, thumbsticks are shorter and wider which makes aiming easier imo

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

Interesting. I don’t have the biggest hands (fuck the Duke) and I didn’t notice the size difference. I don’t think I could go back to a 360 controller. The XBOne feels like the final form

potentiallynotfelix,

I have, I had the day one 2013 controller, it was nice but it developed drift quite fast, and also is harder to repair

Cadeillac,

Sorry to keep asking questions, but what is harder to repair? Swapping the sticks? I’ve worked on so many JoyCons at this point regular sized controllers don’t bother me much

potentiallynotfelix,

The trigger on the xbox one controller is loose and easy to take off, and it has a spring on it that flew off and I lost upon disassembling it. The 360’s controllers will remain completely function even without any shell, but are also able to be disassembled.

potentiallynotfelix,

IIRC swapping sticks is the same on the two

I’m currently playing with a wired 360 controller, myself. its old and creaky and kinda scratched up but it works gorgeously still!

potentiallynotfelix,

Me too, it’s aged very well.

Webcast ending.

Goodbye Vega, hello Vega C!

Xbox series X Elite controllers. I’ll never go back. They have a good weight and feel.

Sorta on topic, what do people use for N64 emulation? I can’t find a 6 button controller that I like.

USB N64 controller

I used a Steam Controller for the N64 stuff. The right pad worked great for the C buttons.

Circularization burn underway.

Mario Wonder also does that. Anyone know any others?

teawrecks,

Not quite the same, but in WoW, you couldn’t talk to the opposing faction. So sometimes people would make characters like this just to hang out in the other faction’s zones and communicate using only emotes. Good times…

NakariLexfortaine,

If you were lucky.

I remember when people figured out the invisible characters glitch and BG chat was just a wash of shit talk all s p l i t u p l I k e t h i s.

Saw some people also use that for good, but a majority in my experience were just heinous.

I’ve played rescue ranger a couple of times, legit one incident I intervened in was some poor bastard running for their life across the entirety of Liurnia Lake while the invader was leading an angry mob of enemies chasing them

Night and Flame got a workout that day, lemme tell y’all.

Stage 4 shutdown confirmed. Still a circularization burn remains.

HubertManne, do games w Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now?

where does AAA even come from. Is it like michelin stars and the american automobile association started it. If not why don't I hear about the AA or just A or B or C or D games. They should do like the recording industry and have categories based on amount sold and I would limit sales for full retail price. Once they set the price as what they think of it then they only get credit for those who pay full freight. Just to limit deeply discounting to pump the numbers and maybe to encourage a reasonable starting price.

ozymandias117,

My assumption is baseball

AAA is the best you can get in minor leagues before you move to the major leagues

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-A_(baseball)

Goronmon,

I think the more likely relation is to credit ratings or something similar, since the “AAA” is based around budgets and financial investments.

cyberpunk007,

Or hockey

houseofkeb,

My understanding is AAA is literally just a buzzword in the vein of AAAA. It doesn’t relate to budget, team size, publisher/no publisher, kind of same as indie at this point.

It maybe made a little more sense when it was a publisher descriptor? EA, Activision, Ubisoft were publishing games at a different scale than Midway, Acclaim, THQ, etc. But still, as far as I understand is more of a marketing term as opposed to designating anything specific.

Silinde,

It comes from the publishers in the 90s. They needed an easy way to tell stores/distributors how popular they thought each of their games would be, to help them decide how many of a certain title the distributor should order. The games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for “this is a starshot, we’re hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs”. That then lead to more and more games being marked as AAA due to budgets getting increased, and the whole system became a bit redundant.

Goronmon,

he games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for “this is a starshot, we’re hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs”.

Is there any evidence of this being the case? Personally, I don’t remember anything other than “AAA” back in the day, with other variations coming about much later as budgets grew and people wanted more specific delineations.
