whotookkarl , to games in What's your favorite controller?
@whotookkarl@lemmy.world avatar

My favorite layout so far is on the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Xbox wired controller. It has x/y up between the shoulder and triggers, back buttons for a/b, so you can keep your right thumb on the thumbstick without moving it to hit face buttons a/b/x/y.

Aeryn ,

Yes! I love this controller, and I never see people talk about it. The mechanical click of the face buttons is so satisfying and consistent to press. Other controllers feel so cheap to me now.

AliasAKA ,

How big is this controller? I have wide palms but shortish fingers. From palm to tip of middle fingers like 7.5”, which is low side of male hands, but 4” wide palm which is above average. Makes finding ergonomic controllers difficult. I can reach the middle of controllers without too much difficulty, but reaching lengthwise (eg the shoulder buttons) can be problematic (perhaps why I like the ps4 controller — it’s wide but squat; it just lacks usability with no back buttons, and it only pairs to a single device at a time). I guess a smaller Xbox style controller would work okay for me — is Wolverine worth a try you think?

The back buttons are near the middle so I’d assume it’s more comfortable for bigger hands, I think the v3 wireless version has the back buttons closer to the outside where the controller grip connects to the middle of the controller like the elites, I haven’t tried that style yet but I think that may be better for a shorter grip or hands.

I had one of those. Loved it, but the sticks didn’t last long enough to justify buying another.

@whotookkarl@lemmy.world avatar

That’s true, I’ve had mine 2 years and am seeing some up/down drift on the left stick. Not great on the quality but I have used it often, and I can’t find anyone else with that button layout.

Some warning words in job listings:

  • “hit the ground running” : there’s no time or people to train you, you have a day to learn the whole system.
  • ”we’re looking for a rock star…” : the one guy who knew how it all worked rage quit, we need someone who can do it all
  • ”open to graduate engineers” : we don’t want to pay a high salary for an experienced engineer so we’ll pay you peanuts to (hopefully) do the same role.
  • ”As a world leader in…” : few have heard of us before, including you
  • “…fast paced environment …” : We don’t have enough people, would rather not spend the money , prepare to do three roles at once
  • “work hard, and play hard” : No play just work, 16 hour days. Once every 6 months HR will plan a mandatory rock climbing event (on a Saturday)
  • ”…Remote flexibility” : You can work at home one day per month if it’s snowing otherwise we need you to commute in for every 15 minute meeting
  • “You will lead a multi-disciplined team…” : a collection of odds and sods who can’t communicate or get anything done. That’s why there’s an opening
  • “…family oriented business…” : We’ll call you with problems any hour of the night, your scheduled vacations are subject to cancellation, if you resign we need 6 months notice, then we’ll still call you at your new job for advice.
  • ”We are the innovators” : we need you to juice up our also-ran bland product line
  • Any mention of onsite food or catering means they want you working while eating lunch
  • ”An opportunity has arisen” : Someone said fuck this I’m out.
  • If it’s a job with little contact with customers or clients and they still mention casual Fridays, avoid
  • ”You should have ten years experience in Ratfuck XBumpick version 2.3 (1997 edition) and 8 years experience in Tard Tool Power Edition DOS” : We’ll consider you if understand numbered lists in Word.
  • ”You enjoy new challenges every day…” : The rest of us just want to get the fuck out of here at 5 o clock and go home.

Quite right. XBumpick 2.3 was only ever released in the US, after ‘the incident’ back in 1996.

Well hello there

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy OP , (edited ) to asklemmy in What nonmurder crime would you commit if all crime was legal for a day?

I know of an exploit on a horribly designed website for a national car park company that would allow me to write a script that would effectively give me and anyone else i know free parking for ever for all car parks administered by this company in the country (which is a lot of car parks).

So i’d do that

Corngood ,

I love that you have a very specific and arguably moral crime in mind, and it inspired this post.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy OP , (edited )

tbh, i was inspired by a post with the same title while lurking on reddit. i have a rule about not posting there though so i bought the conversation here

Frog? I would have guessed logitech mouse.

This frog will inspire peripheral companies to think very tall mice are the new best feature.

wccrawford , to android in Pixel 9 Fold Pro - Backordered on Day 1 with T-Mobile (US)

It’s been possible to order pixel 9s for a couple weeks, hasn’t it? When I looked at one after the announcement, it was going to be here on release day. When I looked a few days later, it was going to be a couple more weeks.

I’m not surprised that they’re backordered for a while at this point.

OZFive OP ,

The non-folds have been available for weeks. The Fold just went live today with T-Mobile.

wccrawford ,

Ah, I see. Well, I’m a little surprised it’s backordered that far then.

For fun, I checked Fi… Oct 23-30 for me.

OZFive OP ,

Mine said the 16th.

HubertManne ,

I feel like it was not that long ago that 8's were finally widely available.

I picked up a Gamesir x2 recently and it really ticks all but one of the boxes for me. It’s a liiiiittle too big to carry around in a pocket, and a liiiittle too small if you’ve got bigger hands, but its still great at what it does.

olicvb ,
@olicvb@lemmy.ca avatar

+1 for the Gamesir, completely dropped sitting at my desktop. Now my main screen is for shows and the secondary is for game streaming through SteamLink.

I grabbed the X2 because it seemed the most compact without sacrificing triggers or joysticks, but I now think the G8 would have been a better choice with the larger grip

HipsterTenZero ,
@HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone avatar

Yeah I’m thinking the same. The X2 was my pick because I wanted something the size of a DS, but its just a little too big for that. I’ll be picking up a g8 to replace it later since it seems like a better fit for using around the house.

I’d go to the art museum and consume copious amounts of hallucinogens.

I did that at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam

i got baked in vondelpark before going there

Great museum, I saw the “Potato Eaters” there.

No, it’s boating related. Four days in a sail.

I don't think so. You can tell by their billion miles stare they don't have much of a choice but to put up with his crap for now.
