Nah I’ve never had issues with latency and don’t play anything competitive I’ve always just prefered wired to be honest. My favourite controllers were the wired 360 controllers that got rid of the massive bump at the back and were a really nice weight. I wish they did an official modern wired only version.
Yeh it was the text that was throwing me. I’ve customised my own controllers with different coloured buttons etc before so that part was easily explainable but the text is professionally added and I never knew that was a thing people did (seems like a waste of money to me)
Turns out it is a design labs custom one as per the other responses though. Learn something new every day!
Yeh this one cost me £4 and came with a recharchable battery pack. I’ve always used my controller wired (playing on PC) but now maybe I’ll try wireless!
Cheers man for the reply. Yeh it seems like this is the case I just didn’t know that it was a thing.
I’ve bought coloured buttons and modded my own controllers before but it was the text on the bottom that was throwing me as it has been professionally added! I didn’t know that design lab was a thing :)
Not that I knew of and apparently it is a custom made one as per the other responses. Til
Yeh, it is unfortunstely a micro USB controller but it cost me £4 with a recharable battery pack inside so I’m not gonna complain at all. Just didn’t know where it had come from! Thanks for the reply :)
Cheers for the reply! Looks like it is custom after all :D
I knew custom controllers were a thing but honestly the quality looked too good that I presumed it wasn’t a custom one. Thank you for the reply though! Solves that mystery :D
Thank you for the info, I just presumed it wasn’t custom as it looked too well done and I wasn’t aware of this service. Thanks so much for the reply!
Wow, someone else that actually feels the way I do about these things, particularly the eating part. The whole process of preparing, cooking and eating food feels like such a waste of time to me, I wish I could just take a pill or supplement that actually gave me everything I needed as if I were eating a healthy balanced diet and then maybe eat one meal a week for the actual taste of food.
I agree, Lemmy as a whole is rammed full of bullshit US politics and I’m tired of reading about it. The fewer, relevant communities this shit gets posted to, the better IMO.
Right? I learnt to skate before YouTube and tutorials were a thing. Just a few tips from someone who was knowledgeable probably would have help me nail Ollie’s years quicker xD
If you’d watched the video then you’d realise these aren’t “pupils”, this is a guy with a lot of experience in the sport passing on tips and help to the local kids at the skatepark. That is exactly how people used to learn this sport before it being mainstream and how a lot of people still do I’m sure. He is more than able to give kids help and they will appreciate it a shit load coming from someone obviously good at the sport.
Also the goal in skating is never to “not hurt yourself”, sure ideally you don’t want to hurt yourself but it is a sport that when learning you are inevitably going to hurt yourself and you need to accept that. On the whole your take is pretty shitty man.
Buy second hand or refurbished. Better for the planet, cheaper and you aren’t directly giving google anything :)
Yeah, as I said, I use an Xbox one controller with a USB C cable. My PC has a USB C port so I just use C to C. I just wish there was a permanently wired official version of the controller that did away with the huge battery compartment on the back :)
I don’t care about colours or AA batteries, I’d rather have a cable personally, I do agree on the choice though.
Anything from the 360 onwards are my preferred controllers. A permanently wired 360 controller that does away with the massive battery compartment it my favourite but these days I use an “Xbox one” version with the USB C cable.
I spent 15 years working nights. 3 x 12 hour shifts (which was the best way to work IMO) and 4 x 10.
I’ve been working 5 x 8 hour days for 4 years or so now and I guess I have adjusted some what but I still fucking hate it. 5 day working week is the absolute worst. The only saving grace I have now is my current job doesn’t care when I start / finish as long as I complete my 8 hours so I end up going in at 4am so I can finish at 12 and actually have some day time to do other things.
Actual 9 to 5 is possibly the worst way to work imo
I am a print finisher in the UK and yes we still do a lot of business cards for people. More often than not these days though it tends to be more high end finishes things like foiling, duplex or triplexing with different coloured stocks, round corners etc.
Ten years ago and back we did a lot more high quantity shitty cards but I also worked in a more generic print place then so they may still get pumped through bigger places.
I’m actually foiling some business cards right now xD
Journey - This game brought me to a sort of Zen, it is calm and peaceful and was just a wonderful experience that didn’t out stay its welcome. By the end of it I just felt like I had had a nice uplifting experience.
Fallout games - Yeh this may not seem like an uplifting game experience for most people and I would generally agree but on a personal level I do find them uplifting by the end of them for the following reason. I have always picked up the modern fallout games when I have been quitting one substance or another in the past. There is something about the desolation of the people and the environment within those games with mirrors the desolation I felt withing myself at these times in my life. Working through the stories draws me in and helps me forget about whatever it is my body is telling me I “need” even if it is only for a few hours at a time. Multiple times though these games have helped me get through those feelings and so therefore for me they have a certain uplifting quality, like a weird unexpected safe space.
