When I played Smash Melee as a kid, a few of the neighbor kids would flail about so violently that they would rip their controller out of the console, elbow or armbar me in the face to the point I was bleeding and bruised.
Years later, I would learn that that one time I came home from school early and saw a man in a neat black suit talking with my dad, who quickly made an exit, was not in fact my dad’s friend from work.
He was a fucking FBI agent surveilling the house of the extremely violence normalized kids.
Turns out their dad was some kind of convicted felon in another state, moved here, and was suspected of illegally purchasing or possessing a firearm.
So yeah about half a year later violent-family dad was arrested.
PS: For added irony, my dad later fell down the Q Anon rabbit hole and showed me his whole set up and process for assembling/manufacturing ghost guns with no serial numbers.

Pressure sensitive PS2 controllers did need full pressure on the button actually.

Yeah, you pressed it
But did you press it enough

The original PS3 controllers were pressure sensitive and motion controls.

My thumb was sore forever after learning that pressing the “X” button down harder actually made the cars drive faster. So glad we seems to have switched to using the triggers for driving games now.

Was there a sensible implementation of this? If no, that’s kinda sad. I like it when they try new things.

Yeah I was playing burnout revenge on the ps2 a few weeks ago for the first time in years and getting my ass torn up by my friend. It took my a while to get back in the 8 year old mindset and figure out what was wrong
