This comes up anytime anyone mentions wanting to use a pad in a pc game but yes sometimes it is nice being able to lean back and play a low impact game with a gamepad, especially if you have a pc setup in your living room and can use a pad from the couch.

As I grow older and sicker (thanks fibromyalgia) I lean more towards pad use, especially after how good the DS4 ended out, no problem using the touchpad as a high-rear end-resolution pointing surface with multitouch.

No I have peripherals to simulate a mouse since I find keyboards uncomfortable for play.

Also gamepad support means more than just recognizing buttons, there is streamlining controls and adding systems to compensate for the lack of precision from not using a mouse

I had a trackball because I was tired of awful optical and ball tracking. Worked pretty well for a few months!

Then I got a laser mouse, and I'd have to say that I won't settle for anything less than laser when it comes to mice :colbert:

I still use trackballs with laptops because that pad thing is terrible.

I've had pretty much every model of Logitech thumb-trackball, including the old ones with springs, and I love them dearly. Mice feel clunky now.

Just like any mouse, it's pixel perfect once you have a feel for it. Besides, it's the ultimate lazy man tool. If you can't be bothered to move your wrist at all, get a trackball!

On that note, in wacky Unstable land have they fixed bullets and arrows simply passing harmlessly through a lot of monsters if you shoot them anywhere from chin height (or what passes for it) and up? Years of gaming instinct kept betraying me when I was trying to use the giant sniper rifles I was finding later on. "Click head.... Click Head... Welp, back to the biggest hammer I have :v:"

I'll be online for a few hours. I threw a lot of neat mods in there, including that bitching gun assembly mod. Here's hoping nothing bugs the gently caress out.

Hey, something's bugging the gently caress out. Enemies are dropping perfectly generic objects instead of pixels.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Yeah, I played for the first time in months and started a new character. I was pretty disappointed with the lack of quests and end game content.
