If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

The controller is a possible safety hazard and I somehow have the white one. A Recoil controller.

The tech behind the original prototype is actually cool but mattel bought it and made it cheap poo poo and said it could be used well with games it had no business being used for

By "can't get any other way" you're ignoring the ones that drop with every full exp bar after 20? Or are they different Bright Engrams?

You can also get shaders from random chests on the map.

Lootboxes are still bad though.

You'd think Portland and the surrounding area might have a shot, but they probably think they're too good for the castle.

I had one of these and it owned. Well, mine didn't have those autofire buttons. But still it was nice to play N64 games with a controller designed for a human with only 2 hands.

tfw you're one of launch title devs who weren't allowed to see the controller so they had to test their software by putting their hands in a blind box

Nintendo wouldnt reveal the 64 controller until shortly before launch. Devs had to reach into a metal enclosure to hold the controller to maintain secrecy

Not sure if other devs had to do this but it definitely happened to the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire devs:

Specifically:

Mark Haigh-Hutchinson-project leader at LucasArts posted:

By Christmas of 1994, we had the basis of the first level of the game, The Battle of Hoth, running quite nicely on the ONYX—“quite nicely” being in high resolution (1280x1024), 32-bit color, and at 60 frames a second. By this point, we had also received a very early prototype of the Nintendo 64 controller. This consisted of a modified Super Nintendo controller with a primitive analogue joystick and Z trigger.

Due to our strict nondisclosure agreement, we were unable to discuss the hardware or the project with anyone outside the core team. Consequently, we would furtively hide the prototype controller in a cardboard box while we used it. In answer to the inevitable questions about what we were doing, we replied jokingly that it was a new type of controller—a bowl of liquid that absorbed your thoughts through your fingertips. Of course, you had to think in Japanese….

Oh no oh god it's all true!
so i'm playing mario 3d world and i don't think it's very good. cat mario is overpowered to the point where using him makes most platforming challenges piss easy, and yet you can't just not use cat suit because there's specific poo poo you need it for (raising platforms, etc). it's the same bad design choice from 3d land, where it was all raccoon all the time or you can't do some of the flag challenges. it's bad

Made reloading annoying as hell. It's a light gun but you had to pump it to reload and for a game where you're shooting a ton it's just a big pain.

Play as cat mario then and do the extra optional stuff, idk what to tell you. It's a good game but if you aren't enjoying it then don't play it imo.

Alternatively, if you're still early in the game, then maybe it's not hard because you're still at the beginning.
