PAYNE!!! You gotta help meeee!

I use an XBone controller and it worked without having to tweak or change anything. Pretty comfortable for bigger hands too.

Chee_Koala,

Same, worked with no hassle, and very comfy controller for me.

I play EVE Online soooooo this happens daily? multiple times a day?

The political dramas in that game could put actual real world political drama to shame. I mean take what’s currently happening in game right now. A massive alliance named Pandemic Horde decided to evacuate the space they held. fair enough, the issue? Leadership made the announcement they were leaving said space and then…leadership quit. in the same message. Thus all the regular members, literally hundreds of them if not well over 1000, were left on their own in hostile space with all their assets stuck in stations that were now actively being shot at and destroyed by opposing alliances. The players are essentially stuck because all the upper leadership of Pandemic Horde have the massive capital ships that they could have used to save their members by getting them out of system or aiding in destroying the attackers but they said nope, we’re not going to do that. It’s a cluster fuck.

LORDSMEGMA,

Holy shit that’s big. I haven’t followed up on the Eve shenanigans since I left reddit

@rozodru@pie.andmc.ca avatar

oh yeah it’s huge. As of right now Pandemic Horde have lost over 16,000 characters that have quit the alliance. they’re pretty much done. End of an era.

llamapocalypse,

As a wormholer, watching it unfold from afar has been kinda hilarious

I have lots of different controllers, and have had even more through the years. My personal recommendation is the 8BitDo Ultimate 2, should be plug and play either on wired, wireless or Bluetooth on most modern distros, comes with a stand for charging so you never have the issue of picking the controller and being out of batteries, has Hall-Effect track pads so you won’t get drift with time, has 2 extra back buttons which are configurable on steam. Plus specifically against each other major controller:

Pros over Xbox controllers:

  • No need to install any driver
  • Batteries included

Pros over Playstation controllers:

  • Most games show ABXY glyphs
sonofearth,

Thanks. Unfortunately this one’s on the expensive side and I am not a hardcore gamer. I think I will go with the ultimate C wired as it is in my budget as well as seems to work with Linux (atleast via steam; got mixed reviews with Lutris from some folks in the comments).

Nibodhika,

Fair enough, the ultimate 2 is the same price as the Xbox and Playstation, so I guess those are also outside your range. The ultimate 2C wireless is only $5 more than the wired, I think that’s a good benefit for that price difference, but even the wired should be good since 8BitDo does good hardware.

sonofearth, (edited )

The ultimate 2 is over 100$ more expensive than the ultimate c wired and 50$ more than the official Xbox one. (All of this in rough ₹ to $ conversion) Interestingly, I just searched Amazon and I had to scroll down quite a bit to find the 2c wireless which is actually cheaper than Ultimate C wired (at 81% discount like wtf?!), so now I might go for that one. Thanks.

Edit: Sorry that 2C was just for the Nintento Switch. The reviews mentioned it didn’t support PCs. So now the actual 2c is 20$ more expensive than the Xbox. Now I am confused to put in the extra and go for the ultimate 2 lol.

Nibodhika,

Not sure how the prices are in your location, but these are the rough prices here in Europe that I had in mind when replying to you, I assumed the relative prices would be similar in your location, apparently I was wrong:

Hadriscus,

I bought 2x Ultimate 2 for a total of 108€ and that was with a relay fee, I’m surprised at the prices you mention

Lol this escort mission. I don’t hate it. Now the Funhouse, that’s a great level

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I only really start to regret it towards the end lol. The fun house i enjoy though. I think my favorite would have to be the final level though. That boss fight was fun for me to figure out my first playthrough.

At school there were a bunch of Xbox cod players that were friends and I was in their class and they gave me so much shit every day. It was like 5v1 and 3 were way bigger than me and 1 my size and 1 smaller. We would always argue about which friend group was better but could not resolve it because my friends and i were on ps3. We ended up getting to rank 1 on this team ladder and they were so mad they pushed me around and pushed me over. So I when i saw their small friend alone in the hallway I attacked him. Didnt do any damage because was to young to cause proper damage. Just called him racial slurs and punched him in the face and pushed him over. It was the style at time.

The next day I thought i was dead as soon as I got to class. But actually it turns out they pretended it never happened and ignored me and we didnt really argue after that. The only conversions we had after were small talk asking thoughts on the new game or guns perks etc.

I got beat up for fucking up someone’s trickshot in search and destroy. We took mw2 a little to seriously that game was our life.

Another one. About 2005 my friend had a birthday we a went to his house and did stuff but then played runescape and he had no items so he logged into his older brothers account and drop traded us his rune set. I got a rune platebody that I could NOT wear. His brother pm ingame asking for it back the next day and I said I had no idea what he was talking about. Then on Monday he beat him up at school until I said I would give it back and then he hunted down all of my friends who got his given his items.

8bitdos work great. I got several, most happy with the Pro 2. The only downside is that they stopped supporting firmware updates in Linux, so you have to use a VM with Windows and USB passthrough to update the pad.

I love the idea of Max watching TV with pointing his gun at it the whole time.

Back when Overwatch was fresh, had a couple randoms I wound up buddying and partnering up with pretty often for a few weeks. But one of them was a really annoying person on mic, who was just very clingy with the other guy. Then other guy wanted to drop clingy guy. Clingy guy freaked. They didn’t split but I eventually just stopped playing. Don’t know how their friendship ultimately turned out.

Great game! It’s the first one I got via… hotline… way before torrent…

Logitech’s F310 and F710 still holds up today(and they’re pretty cheap)

jjjalljs, (edited )

I think that’s the one I have. They don’t make them like they used to. The Logitech controller I had in like 2008 lasted for ten years. The new one’s right shoulder button stopped working after like two.

The good news is they honored their warranty and sent me a new one for free.

But then the left joystick stopped going all the way up+left.

But then honored the warranty again! That one is still kicking.

So the lesson is: keep your receipt if you buy Logitech.

Edit: it works fine on Linux (pop!_os) too.

darkreader2636,

Yup mine works like a charm in debian 12 if it’s in the XInput mode

I love my Gulikit KK2! one of the best controllers i’ve ever used in 40 years of gaming. just pick up the latest one, i think the KK3.

8bitdo is also a great company with lots of options.

edit looking into it now, it seems quality may have dropped for the KK3. lots of ppl recommending Gamesir G7 Pro,

Friend of mine in high school was super into Star Wars Galaxy. Was pretty much all he did after school at the time. One day he got into an argument with his guild leader or some other member with thw power to remove him, and they kicked him from the guild. This pissed him off enough that he recruited another friend of ours to infiltrate the guild and then spent the next month or so getting to a position of power within it so they could re-add the original friend and kick everyone else out while also draining the guild coffers. Effectively destroying the entire guild.

I have an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth (so the switch version) and it works well. I had to add the line manually to the SDL DB, as I was using the beta firmware. Default firmware works out of the box.

I’d suggest the Ultimate 2 Wireless instead as it should have full SteamInput support.

I couldn’t get the customization and update app to work under wine. It’s not a huge issue, but if you want that functionality you need to boot into windows.

Xbox Series X controller works out of the box on USB. Haven’t tried Bluetooth, but I couldn’t get the proprietary wireless dongle to work (it should work with the xone driver)
