My Dreamcast still works flawlessly. It is the best of us.

Keyboard using Hall Effect switches.

Wooting two HE - Fullsize analog keyboard

The Wooting Two HE is an analog mechanical keyboard with <1ms input response. The magnetic Lekker switches are adjustable up to 0.1mm for finger brushing sensitivity.

But yeah, the fact that we moved away from HE and yet we have very expensive controllers suck. Wonder if it's a size thing with HE as to when it can't be in something like the Joy Con.

Pro Poverty Tip: you can drink the juice out of the Vienna sausage can for an extra nutrient boost. Like a meaty gazpacho

Last night I scraped the bone marrow out of leftover chicken wings for more protein.

I believe the size used to be an issue years ago, but wouldn't anymore. The A/D converters are now.

I gave mine to a friend an eternity ago. It works flawlessly.

My old roommate found one in a dumpster at college. It works flawlessly.

My ps4 controller started drifting too much. Controller is what like 4 years old? Okay Ill get a new ps4 controller. Well that one started drifting in like 3 months and now I am f***ing mad.

Do you use Kontrol Freeks?

Sonic Shuffle is awesome despite what YouTubers have said about it. I enjoyed the combos of rings that you could build up or lose. It was a nice twist on the Mario Party +3/-3 coins. Although the AI definitely cheated when they pulled and yanked your movement cards.

Hopefully the next set of consoles and maybe future controllers before then will move to HE.

The analog stick sensor wheels can be cleaned or replaced and this usually fixes it. Should be one YouTube video watch, some isopropyl, and a screwdriver. Hell, the entire analog assembly should be less than $10 aftermarket but cleaning is usually enough.

Yeah I almost did it before buying a second one (i figured I'd need two with kids anyway). My thought was that I can take apart the old one and fix it, I am just annoyed at how little time I had with the new one before having to deal with it again

A growing trend is to get the $3(or whatever) protection plan with any controller and swapping it out before the warranty expires.
Kind of scummy but so is having controllers get wonky after so little use.

dont hate the player, hate the game. if they're selling it...

I am not expecting the thing to be bulletproof I am just kind of astonished that the second controller lasted me 8% of them time the first one did

and thats just in days owned...in terms of hours played its probably closer to 1%

One day they'll put a little more focus on the actual game.

Gave my ranger a RAGE suit.

Was assaulting a Chosen stronghold, and breached a room with four bezerkers.

Nothing funnier than seeing them all panic and run away because I'm wearing the skin from their queen.

They're all dead now.

The Warzone 2 changes are so stupid...

Why are they fixing what isn't broken?

I started playing Factorio again. RIP my free time. In related Factorio news it is releasing on Switch for you console people. And an expansion is in development.

And done. Holy f***

Now I live in poverty until next Friday lol

When you get it, be sure to boot up Astro's Playroom. It's a really fun little platformer (and I say that as someone who usually can't stand platformers) that does a great job of getting you used to the new controller features with a good dose of nostalgia along the way.

Seconded - my daughter and I played it together and it's a friggin blast!

So many unique mechanics. It's addicting.

They’re all on social media but somebody leaked clips of GTA 6. It sounds/looks like they’re legit.

Running my fury Druid in normal and getting stomped by baals last wave of minions. I’m level 33 and liberated some gear from my level 29 sorceress and for some reason have not found any real upgrades for them.
Runes are dropping few and far between so I only have stealth, no weapon or shield or helm yet.

For anyone interested in Gloomhaven, it's free to claim on the Epic Games Store starting next Thursday.

It's pretty challenging and really great-looking game. I've had a lot of fun with it so far.

Go back to act 1 and farm the countess for an hour or two. She drops runes like crazy.
