What are your favourite controllers?
  • Edited to clarify. And you can roll separated buttons just as easily.. I know because I'd do it a lot on the psp with dj max.

  • What are your favourite controllers?
  • The directional pad is four separate buttons. Up down left right. I want them to be like the c buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller. Separate.

    What ends up happening with me is that I'll press down but not squarely down. There is a good chance I'll press partially to the left or right while using smaller d pads. This causes extra inputs I didn't intend to do happen. The ds made playing tetris much harder on me than it should have for me.

  • Plenty of men wear makeup. Embrace your inner goth.

    Personal note: this is one of the many gendered things I simply refuse to acknowledge as gendered. There are plenty of instance where it's perfectly normal (thus mentioning goth) and it shouldn't be gender specific to want a more uniform completion.

  • What are your favourite controllers?
  • Yeah, I just wish they'd split the directionals.

  • A New Reality Show Will Pay Cash if Players Can Convince Experts the Earth Is Flat
  • Who will be on the show: people with more time than sense.

    People who won't: the dozens of actually intelligent cult leaders grifters who are making a living off flat earth believers.

  • What are your favourite controllers?
  • I do not know what the industry wide obsession is with connected D-pads, but my chunky thumbs do not appreciate it.

    And with that in mind, the Playstation style of controllers are the closest thing to my ideal controller currently on the market.

    Also, I prefer thumbstick under D-pad just in case I need to hit one of those buttons regularly I have a few options.

  • Why WotC Should Ban Nadu [Opinion]
  • It likely should. I just swapped it in as my commander for my group hug simic deck that has no wincon.. And 2 cards in the deck that actually work with Nadu. Just because of the memes.

    And just in case anyone was wondering about simic group hug.. I give people card draw, lands, and symmetrical combo pieces. The plan is to make a 5+ person game not take 3 hours.

  • New Crazy Taxi title will be an open-world, massively multiplayer AAA game, according to Sega
  • Oh. Well I guess I'm not interested in it anymore. That's a shame.

  • Blahaj zone is getting a new mascot and icon!
  • Just cropped it so that it'd appear larger and less busy detail wise. I don't think most people who already know what a blahaj is would have any trouble descerning the intent of the cropped image instead of the full shork.

    If I don't care what pronouns are used, can I still be an ally?
  • These two things are entirely mostly unrelated. People who do not want to be misgendered for whatever reason use them to avoid being misgendered as often as possible. To be inclusive some allies include theirs also, it shows some level of support and helps normalize displaying pronouns. You can still support others without putting your own pronouns promenantly out there for everyone to see.

    Take me for instance. I identify agenderly but use he/him pronouns mostly becuase that's how I was born and look. I, much like you, don't care about how I'm pronouned, and honestly I prefer however I'm presenting at the time. In life it doesn't change much. But in games it can vary.

    My own opinion on pronouns being that they exist to ease conversation, and so long as they do that, I have no problem using anyone's preferred selection. Up until someone decides their pronouns are so unique that it's not really a pronoun anymore, it's more like a second name. That's when I get a bit petty and will generally avoid talking about whoever that is at all.

  • Blahaj zone is getting a new mascot and icon!
  • I dunno if the whole thing is a bit too busy for the topbar..

    So I guess I'll present a simple alternative:

    Regardless of the particulars, it's super cute!

    To compare:

  • A fragment of your imagination
  • I mean.. Dinosaur depictions changed wildly from when I was little.

    But the neat thing about science is that they can admit that their best evidence might be flawed and they will keep working on it when proven wrong.

    Religion on the other hand...

  • What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?
  • Too many to list.

    They all either:

    Died

    Got cancelled

    Pandered to a younger audience of which I am not.

  • What's growing on, Beehaw?
  • The heat has been kicking my little plot into overdrive. I had to raise up the pest net to allow the little ones to grow safely... But they're also crowding the heck out of each other at the moment. I think the greenbeans might kill out the less leafy carrots, but we'll see how they get along.

  • Are you better off than you were four years ago? It can be a murky picture for many
  • Yes, but 4 years ago was an interesting time in my life. I had just quit smoking, rented a house above my means to give my disabled sister somewhere safe to live while grieving over her deceased caregiver, and spent whatever money I had saved to move her across the country.

    She's thankfully doing well now and engaged with someone she is absolutely head over heels for.

    I'm still financially recovering, but things are moving in the correct directions.

  • What's your biggest gamer achievement?
  • 100%'d blast corps back in the day, caught the hylian loach before there were any guides about it in ocarina of time.

    And more (but not terribly) recently, I completed an 'all bosses' challenge run in terraria in which I made all naturally spawning blocks indestructible.

  • Rule
  • You know something is horribly wrong when someone who is permenantly disabled signs up for snap only to receive $200 a month with it, but it's taking 200 away from their (already lower than minimum wage) disability payments. I don't know how people are expected to live.

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of June 23rd
  • Terraria. An old friend popped up to ask me if I'd like to play and it's been many updates ago and at least a decade since I last played. We are playing both calamity and Fargo souls mods mashed together and having a hell of a time with the extreme difficulty as we work through the boss fights.

    Not to mention our life schedules work out to 2 hours a day.

  • Help me out here
  • I used to know one who would go for "here's $100", though that was many many years ago and I don't know if she still lives that kind of life. I haven't kept up with anyone from high-school, much less friends of friends.

  • [AMA] I am a professional construction carpenter. Feel free to ask me anything.

    I've been working in construction for the past 11 years at this point with a few years before that in a part time role. I'm more than happy to lend whatever knowledge or insights I may have about work, life, or whatever.

    I will be checking in sporadically to see if there are questions.

    EDITED WELL AFTER QUESTIONS STOPPED: I'm still active-ish on Lemmy, so if you happen to find this and have a question, I will likely still get back to you.

    [Bug] Changed my Password on the Website.

    And ever since I changed my password, logging in through Jerboa puts me in a shrödinger state of access. I can see my subs and local posts but trying to view my profile or post will return a "not_logged_in" error or ask me to "Login First", and then disconnects the login account I was on and erases the login details for it. Please help.
