- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 day ago:
Can’t agree with this. I got dozens of hours out of Portal 2, simply from replaying it so many times (which is an amazing feat in of itself because I never finish games).
Meanwhile I was bored of Stardew Valley after two hours of wandering around and not being able to find anything to do. From what I’ve gathered, the game expects you to figure out how play it on your own. I’m in my late 30s and I have bills to pay. I don’t have the time nor the patience for a game like that anymore.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 days ago:
Okay lol maybe I want them for other games too.
Six face buttons, two joysticks, a D-Pad, a touchpad, four triggers (two being analog with a click at the end of the range), four paddles (like the Steam controller), HD rumble. That’s what I want in a controller. Nothing less. Such a controller does not seem to exist.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 days ago:
But I don’t want a fight stick. I want a single controller that can do it all.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 days ago:
Not quite what I’m looking for (but thanks). I should probably mention that I also need dual joysticks, quad triggers, quad paddles, a touchpad, and a D-Pad. Basically everything you can get on both a Steam controller and an XBOX controller, except with two extra face buttons.

It’s okay I always hated Sketchers too. They were the shoe that you buy if you want to get bullied. Guess that’s still true today.
Well I’m in late 30s and so I caved and finally bought a pair. Settled on their knockoff version of the Nike Flex and I couldn’t be more pleased. They’re just as comfortable as the real Flex. That said, part of me is still embarrassed to be wearing Sketchers. I wish the logo was easier to remove…

I also want six face buttons for fighting games. Somebody, please release a controller like this already. I haven’t seen one since the Sega Saturn.
- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 1 week ago:
As someone who used them for over a decade before giving up, I can assure you that dating websites are a complete and utter waste of time. You can’t even get a conversation started, let alone a date.
I highly recommend you do it the natural way: if you see someone you like, ask them out. You are a woman so this is extremely easy from you. Most men can’t even say “hi” to a woman in public, because there are so many shitty men out there harassing women that the good guys don’t even get a chance. So we’re often afraid to say anything because we don’t want women to assume that we’re one of them.You don’t have this problem, so ask away. You’d be surprised by how easily guys will say “yes”.

Fucking thank you. I wish these tired old reddit memes wouldn’t migrate over to Lemmy.
- Comment on Anon is a game dev 1 week ago:
Yeah seriously, anyone can make beautiful prerendered graphics that look good running on any game system released in the past ~20 years (which is what RE1 uses). Doing in realtime is the hard part.
- Comment on Anon is a game dev 1 week ago:
…which is a half-assed port of the GameCube remake.
If you get it, expecting it to be the same kind of remake as Resident Evil 2, prepare to be extremely disappointed.

But what if you improve yourself and then become a better person for nothing? :P

Everything in moderation, including moderation.
- Comment on Does vibe coding sort of work at all? 1 week ago:
I vibe coded an AutoHotKey script to automate part of my job. It works.
- Comment on Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my account 1 week ago:
Find a bank that doesn’t charge overdraft fees. If you so happen to live in Colorado or Arizona, FirstBank is a good choice.
Not only are there no fees for anything, they even give you the option to block your card from charging more than your available balance. Card machines will literally only do a partial payment, allowing you to pay the remaining balance with another form of payment. It works everywhere and is really neat.

Is non-binary not a form of transgenderism? I honestly do not know.
- Comment on On Oysters 1 week ago:
IDK what that is, but sure, let’s go with that.
- Comment on On Oysters 1 week ago:
TIL Prince was trans. It’s so obvious now that I think about it.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 1 week ago:
So basically they’re trying to do what Trip Hawkins did with the 3DO in 1993. In order for that to work, you’re going to have to convince people to pay PC hardware prices first. Which won’t happen because 1. Third party manufacturers aren’t going to sell at a loss, and 2. Sony will continue to sell their consoles at a loss, which means everyone will just buy their consoles instead.

Well too fucking bad, cause Halo is the only thing they’re good at. They should had sucked it up and kept iterating on Halo 3. That game was peak Halo.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 1 week ago:
Ever since switching to a foldable and buying a smart TV, I feel this. Things I used to rely on a computer for I can now easily do using my pocket tablet or TV instead.
Back in 2022 I spent $4K building my dream machine, yet I hardly use it. As someone who used to be glued to a PC all day, every day, I thought I’d never see the day where I can go several days in a row without my computer and not even miss it. But the only time I fire up my PC now is to spin some tunes on the turntables, play a game, edit a video, or work on my website. For everything else, the phone or the smart TV will suffice.
- Comment on Any other trauma victims? 2 weeks ago:
Know how you feel. I’m almost 40, and even though my dad has been dead for 5 years now, the feeling still won’t go away. The PTSD is so bad that loud voices startle me, and I can’t use a computer if someone is looking over my shoulder.
My dad taught me how to lie and obsess over privacy so I wouldn’t feel his wrath. I should be in therapy.
- Comment on Any other trauma victims? 2 weeks ago:
Replace mom with dad, and this is my childhood.
You don’t know trauma unless you’ve been raised by a bipolar narcissist with anxiety and anger issues. My dad was a master at sucking all the energy out of a room and ruining the vibe with his selfish, fear-mongering bullshit.
- Comment on One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons 2 weeks ago:
What you’re talking about is a “puss-controller”. I want to know what a “pus-controller” is.

- Comment on Great plan 2 weeks ago:
One thing I miss about working at Amazon was not only the 4 day work weeks, but the fact that they handed out PTO so generously that you could literally call off one day every single week (or sleep in and come in late every single day, which is what I did), and it was absolutely fine.
But unfortunately I had to leave cause I got tired of the thermostat being set to 83°F, and the management who wouldn’t lift a finger for anybody. Still, not the worst place in the world to work. You can just put on your headphones, load up a playlist of podcasts, and zone out for your entire shift. Not having to go through an interview process is nice too. Just show up, take a picture, spit on a sponge (they don’t drug test for weed), and you’re hired.
- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 2 weeks ago:
5ft is close for a 65" screen. Most people sit about 8-10ft away from a screen that size. And to be clear, I’m referring to distance from my eyeballs. The foot of the recliner is about 2ft away.

Want to really feel old? It’s been that way for around 20 years now.

What the hell is a “pus-controller”? Sounds gross.

IDK but Ship of Harkinian has been around for years, and Nintendo has left that one alone too. This MK64 port is being developed by the same team (HarbourMasters).

As someone who uses a 65" LG OLED as my primary monitor and sits 5ft away, the FoV can never be high enough in nearly every game.
