They should have gone bigger and make everything a Nintendo64-style controller port

Bring back the controller ports from the original Xbox that were electrically just USB, but physically huge

There ya go, something like that. I never get the orientation mixed up on those. USB-C is a good step in the right direction but now I can't find the port in the dark! It needs to be motions hands outward with emphasis BIGGERT.

So has anyone played the Good Life yet? I love SWERY and his style, but I heard Deadly Premonition 2 kind of blew so I am nervous. Like SuperGreatFriend didn't even like DP2.

they also had the breakaway attachments that were supposed to reduce the damage when you trip over a cord, right? seemed like a good idea but i never understood what the benefit of having an added connection for it instead of making the connection looser on the console side.

As did the 360. Having the break away point partway in the cord helps align it with the angle of force. Depending on where how the cable was pulled the port itself may not come be able to come out without pulling or tilting the console, but as the breakway point was partway in the cord it will thus be naturally aligned to the force and thus nothing to drag.

the best thing to happen to video games is wireless controllers. it was fine using wired when i was 8 years old on an ancient mostly-functioning 25" CRT that my dad bought from the back of a dude's truck for twenty bucks, but that won't fly now that i want to play video games on the couch

although to be honest when i move, i'll probably move the PS5 into the (home-)office rather than attaching it to the living room TV so maybe i'll eventually go back to not caring too much about wireless

Pretty much everything Nintendo / Sony / Samsung / Google uses usb-C

It rules. I can get clearance Nintendo car chargers for like $4 and use them on my headphones, phone, tablet, Switch, etc.



Do not do this for your switch lol. The switch doesn't use the standard and most any old chargers will eventually brick your system.

there is actually no reason at all why every cable can't be sick rear end ¼" TRRS audio jacks. everything would be so much better. imagine how badass a laptop would be with a bunch of thick cables coming off the side in a neat grid like an amp
