• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  After reading most of these comments I’ll have to say this comment resonated the most with me. It’s exhausting to always be the one who needs to put in effort to talk to new people, and then you need to maintain it pretty much one sidedly as well, you end up just giving up on it and looking more for good friends to rely on than romantic things.

  I’ve heard from female friends that there are women also dealing with this so it’s not a uniquely male thing, but social norms have sadly made it so and it really gets to you as a guy when you’re not also being pursued by people. I’ve seen some nice clips tangential to this asking women when was the last time they bought flowers for a guy and some of them couldn’t think of an instance, it’s rough out there, and unless you’re at the top of your game it’s a huge struggle, and with the economy as it is a lot of people people rightfully are, but as you say women are usually better trained to work together on this stuff, whereas guys largely aren’t and suffer alone as a consequence. I’m lucky to have some good male and female friends I can open up to, but I definitely feel like the exception on that.

  You should find a cheap steam controller :p

  Ah yeah I see. Tbh I rarely use it myself but i only play pc games at my desk so I can always use my mouse.

  On gyro it’s rare to find controllers without one these days I think unless it’s like a super cheap 10 gbp controller

  What features are deal-breaker when missing for you? More than 2 back buttons?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  8bitdo pro 3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m eyeing the controller op mentioned, 3 trigger buttons + 2 back pedals that I can customize via steam input is the dream. Most 3rd party controllers only let you map to existing buttons on the controller

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is a software solution but if this is for steam there’s an option under controller settings to use a Nintendo layout. I can appreciate the issue more though when you predominantly grew up playing a different platform from the one you’re playing now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It also has a switch to toggle the triggers to either let you slowly pull on them or act as buttons, comes with some longer sticks as an option, and an instant disconnect button. I bought it a while back and the build quality is pretty decent, and looks pretty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably just more costly on the manufacturing side. More molds, more pieces to work with, modular structure etc etc. I also think it’s not as impactful, not sure about you but I’ve developed enough muscle memory to not even look at the front facing buttons, as long as I have Xbox button layouts in games, even with playstation controllers lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had the complete opposite experience. So many third party controllers offer hall effect joysticks, macros, back pedals, options for linear or button triggers, etc at a much lower cost than first party controllers. The only thing they’re missing is the dual sense motors but that’s proprietary.

  I recommend checking out the 8bitdo controllers linked in the article, and the FANTECH WGP14-V2 which you can find on AliExpress.

  Took me ages to find a snippet that has a manual dark mode toggle but in a way that works with prefer-color-scheme so by default it inherits your settings but you can overwrite it… It’s just not a priority for a lot of people or they’re ok with the site flashing or something.

  Doesn’t matter what they can do, just what they promise they will do, and when one side (Labour) gives up on taxing the wealthy and improving life and instead is parotting the same anti-immigration drivel while the other is promising to make people richer and better by blocking immigration why would people vote for Labour again when they can vote for the easy win promise of the latter?

  I know I'm a year late but:

  “Renans” is only ever used to describe the converted dhanans in game, yes the hologqui or whatever their name is are the actual people of Rena and their name translates to “renans” but we don’t refer to them as renans, and the marketing for a dlc very much won’t spoil that huge twist either, they’ll talk with the expectation that many people won’t have played the base game.

  People in power in the west are barely moving the needle for their own people sadly.

  Also even if they did, they’d still need a valid cause to start an international conflict I think, it’s why Russia tried the “it’s actually russians in Ukraine that are being oppressed and we’re liberating them” excuse
