    Ya. The controller people on their little boxes do not understand.
    Like, I could plug a controller into my PC … but WHY?

          Really? Like, I know its physically possible. Do you survive long?
          But … a little ruination is always good. Game on, friend.

            I use gyro + flickstick, which is a lot better than the regular stick aim :3 (after getting used to gyro stick aim just feels slow and mushy x3. I can’t use it anymore)

            But I do fine at surviving :3. I mean, in competitive games I at least survive as long as my team usually does, and my K/D/A or win/lose scores are usually in the positive and stuff. Im not like a pro competitive player by any point tho, so it’s also not like im fighting the best of the best hehe ^^ and obviously singleplayer/co-op games are fine :3

        Sure. Racing and flight simulators are a joke on those little boxes. Ya need a PC. Do you use extra monitors?

          Hah, I play on a laptop with just its screen.

          ‘Gran Turismo’ is in fact quite good, and supports wheels. Their fantasy tracks are really nice, starting from the first game — I had to have them as mods in ‘Assetto Corsa’. ‘Wreckfest’ also works fine on consoles.

            Man those smart TVs are so cheap now. The video screen is what you interact with most, its the biggest part of the experience. Get yourself a huge TV, an HDMI cable, and call it your gaming monitor. (My TVs don’t get to talk to the internet.)

      One day when you’re an adult, you’ll look back at the childish patronising insults you threw at millions of women, men and children, none of whom you know or have any right to judge, in order to feel a sense of smug superiority for a few moments on the Internet.

        If adulthood hasn’t happened yet, it’s not likely. I broke enough Atari controllers to have paid my dues. Fixed em with superglue and tape. But, you know. I was twelve. Then I got older and purchased big boy toys.

        You ought to consider shorter sentences. And drop some of the formalisms. That works better for today’s audiences.

            One would hope. Unfortunately, its not true.
            But don’t get involved in two old people bitching at each other. No profit there, friend.

      because i can lean back and put my legs up on my desk this way. Using the mouse in this position is super awkward (keyboard cable would be long enough, but no surface for the mousepad is an issue). But i wouldn’t bother with a cable for plugging in the controller, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth are a thing nowadays.

        Sweet. I’m old and security conscious. I like wires. I have a long-cabled USB hub to extend my peripherals to my nest of pillows or an easy chair.
        I got this stupid ‘lap desk’ for my bedroom. Looks dumb, but it holds a drink, a phone slot, keyboard and mouse space. There’s a couple legs I rarely extend. Works perfectly.

          You’ve brought me some ideas how to reorganize my space in the future - I do have some 5m usb cables lying around and a cheap USB hub. I’m moving in the next few months, and I’ll keep that in mind, thanks

          I love my cables too and am security-minded, buy my gamepad input isn’t exactly worth protecting except from embarrassment when I’m failing comically.
