I read every word. 😉

But yeah, it just goes to show that the mass production vs caring and dedicated production really are playing in different leagues altogether. Mass produced stuff is just shit no matter how expensive, and this controller-centric company blows the big dogs out of the water for a third, quarter, eighth of the price!

Anyway, I hope you get more free time for yourself soon, so you can enjoy it more. 😌


I’m super pleased with it, rock solid performance. Very snappy input lag as well, not even detectable, and I play games that require very precise timing on inputs.

Wish I could disagree with you on the durability of the premium controllers from Xbox. So bad. I got the Elite 2 like I said, but I exchanged it for a new one literally an amount of times that I can’t even remember, and it took place over almost a year. The issue was with its sticks. They were either drifting or had some kind of gap where the stick wouldn’t sit still in its socket. Both left and right sticks, or one or the other.

Eventually I had enough and settled on one that had very little of the issue, on the left stick (less used), because I just wanted to freaking play my games because I was without a controller all the time sending them back.

8Bit? Third of the price, first controller sent to me was flawless.

I’m not experiencing an issue with charging though. In what way do you notice that it doesn’t charge fully? The charge light never switches off?


The 8bitDo Ultimate 2 was like $40–50 or something, so cheap compared to the Elite 2. I got the dirt cheap 8Bit just to try it out for giggles because I’d never tried TMR sticks before. Bro I haven’t touched the Elite 2 since unpacking the 8bit.




The 8bitDo Ultimate 2 has TMR sticks too, best controller I’ve used. Better than the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2. I do wish the 8bitDo had 4 underside buttons instead of only 2, but it’s still better. The sticks are insane.


Exactly, bringing in all the feces and dirt and gravel and everything else from outside in the streets. So nasty. Like okay, if you live your life in your shoes and you take them off only to shower and sleep, even that is… workable, if that suits you. I don’t understand it, but fine. But laying your shoes on your bed? 🤮





Shapez 2 was great. I got into last night. Lovely and relaxing. No stress, no resource management, no time limits, no enemies. Just cozy thinking about production and how to optimize. Right up my alley.


Even if it were a fair comparison, 32% is still cherry picked. It’s the best result, versus the average result of +6–7% (sorry, that was the fps increase) +13–14%. 🤷‍♂️

I’m still proud of Linux for being this competitive. ❤️🐧

I’m impressed by this table. Really cool.


That would be pretty dope! That’s even something someone can start a small business selling without needing a license, I guess! Take orders for hardware and then assemble and install a gaming environment based on Linux. Stoinks go brr!


The complicated bit isn’t the OS, it’s installing it. A console comes preloaded with an OS. That’s what sets us apart from non-techy people.



As such, the thing that turned me off initially about the G-Rebels demo is that I can see all the way to the horizon. I’m not sure how I feel about it being so bright, either - rather than a sun-starved Jovian moon, the new game is set on Earth, albeit a dystopian Earth where most people live in floating megacities.

How picky can you get. Not even an explanation as to why these things would be negative aspects. Just stated as such.




Break free, implying they won’t support Pixels anymore (is how I interpreted it at first anyway), but they are simply expanding support for more devices. 👍



Better get in there now and add it back to your current account then, this is dirt cheap.


I’ll keep on trucking on it whenever I get a chance then 😊


I have been playing it, but I’d obviously rather it not be on Epic, is what I’m saying.



Got that for free on Epic. But… Epic.


All the Zeldas and Marios. Just give me all those.


I got DOOM, The Witcher, and the Thief bundle. Even though I have them all on Steam and Epic. 🫣 The duplicates are starting to stack up.


☺️👍👍

We usually got the shotguns and went for close combat kills, or M4 due to its relatively low spread. Or one person hanging back a little too snipe away special infected that trap the other survivors. Until we all find AKs with laser sights. Those were just OP 😅 Everything after that is just a one tap on the head lol.


Yeah dude, I loved that part too. Although I’m a stealth-only type of player so I saw the assault rifle play as a failure on my part. 😅 But it still handled great IMO. For around 3 bucks I’d say it’s definitely worth a try. 😍


Love these games. I remember back in the day me and three buddies used to play through both L4D games on expert mode. So satisfying to make it to the end.

But playing it these days, there is too much buggy behavior with the common infected to make it fun for me, and the recoil bullet spread/hit detection is so random. Like sometimes my whole entire crosshair could be visually completely inside the head of a zombie, and I shoot multiple times, but no hit. It’s insane.

Still, the nostalgia is strong here for me. 😊


I played all 5 of the Sniper Ghost Warrior games. The Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts games were even more amazing. The first Contracts game is on sale right now for 3€ on Steam.

These games have amazing gun control and sniping. Lots of fun. Can’t wait for a third Contracts installment.


Yeah man, treat it like it’s its own game, not a Mario game. It’s super frustrating at times but it’s very satisfying to complete. 😊 Just like the games of old! (And when I say old, I’m talking about 30–40 years old, not 15–25… 💀)


Sunshine is great, played through that countless times on the GCN. ❤️ Do play it!


Killer post, love the description! Very informative, you sold me without me having to leave my Lemmy app. Quality post, wish I could up vote more than once.


I agree that Nintendo is crummy for the price tag, and it’s a smoke screen for not having any AAA Mario or Zelda ready for the new console. But my nostalgia and my kids are just simply winning. It’s definitely a 🥰🤮 kind of situation. Can’t help myself. Icky…


I’m… I’m not bragging though? It’s just another situation/combination, like I said. And it’s been years now since I bought the 3D All Stars games, over time this doesn’t amount to a lot of money per year, or especially per month. My kids play all the time. The games have almost paid for themselves. 🥰 Watching them experience what I did when I was a kid. It’s been great.

Are people angry that I somehow “wasted” my money? I don’t get it.


Would be cool if there was a little description of what this is, please.


Cool, thanks… I’m doing it for my kids. I know full well I’m being scammed. But my love for my kids doesn’t care. I love playing these games together with them and it’s worth every penny.
