L-M-A-O I bet none of you can even beat Dark Souls with a guitar hero controller that gives you a nasty shock if you aren't constantly wiggling the whammy bar

I don't like the trackpad, what can I say! Dualshock 4 Lyfe, by which i mean dualshock 1

The trackpad sucks for mouse/cursor input or anything like that, but If you use Steam Input the trackpad on the DS4/Dual Sense can be used for all the customizable UI stuff they created for the Steam Controller. It's rad.

I bought a steam controller for like $6 when they were liquidating them fast for some reason and I'm kind of afraid to open it, it looks so weird

The steam controller is very good, but I guess they needed that space for servers full of digital trading cards

Valve's good at putting out half baked ideas and then abandoning them afterwards, so the platform's got all these weird nubs and ends sticking out of it like some kind of mutant. Hey guys what level is your Steam profile at?

If I sold all my steam trading cards I'd have like 20 bucks in steam money but it's such a pain to sell them now

I remember when i actually bothered to sell my cards a few years back one was worth like 60 bucks, I don't remember what it was and have no idea why it possibly would be worth that

That's what I did before it became impossible, the PS2 dualshock controller is the best controller ever made. :colbert:

Impossible how? still works fine for me op


the dpad on the ps2 is Bad though which is the main reason I replaced it

this userscript adds a 'sell all cards' button to the steam inventory page (in the browser)
it basically just goes through all the cards and clicks sell on them for you

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

this seems cool, but steam apparently wants independent email confirmation on 200+ trading cards that this script just tried to batch-list. it sent me two hundred loving emails. there doesn't appear to be any way to automate confirming, or to confirm from inside Steam or the steam website.

If you have the Steam app on your phone then confirmation goes through that instead, but you still have to manually run down the list and tick every listing

here's my unpopular opinion: if you didn't like HK's map system, then maybe metroidvanias are not for you. stick to linear games maybe.

Lol Metroivanias have had better map systems since Super Metroid decades ago. Hollow Knight made a bad map system just to be contrarian.

HK tries to get you to learn and internalize the structure of the game world as you explore it.

If you don't like exploring and learning about the game world and its structure, then you don't like metroidvanias.

Super Metroid's map sucks. A bunch of identical pink squares does not make a very functional map. I can never remember where anything is in that game, despite playing through it several times.

Hollow Knight's map is just annoying, regardless of whatever game design justification is there. Also, anybody telling you to take notes on a pad of paper while playing a game is just deluded, the idea of pausing so you can write down some kind of bullet point list like you do at work or school or day is completely miserable.

How can you call yourself a true gamer unless you have this over-engineered piece of poo poo with a dedicated CPU and GPU that runs its visuals with the Unreal 5 engine?

mouse and keyboard is worse than controller for everything except strategy and poo poo like that imho.

even first person shooters are better on a controller. i would rather pull a trigger and have rumble when shooting a gun than click a mouse button.

I legit, 100% unironically for real cannot imagine using a controller for a first person shooter. I can barely stand to use them for stuff like Dead Cells. I was a big console gamer when I was a kid but as an adult I find them to be just awful. My hands are prone to cramping though and that probably doesn't help.

Similarly, my nephew makes fun of me for being a y-axis inverter but I will do it until I die because I can't imagine not.

the only time I'll use keyboard and mouse in an fps is if it's online multiplayer. it's been 20 years since the first halo now, so i've had plenty of practice playing fps with a controller. weirdly i couldn't imagine playing stuff like dead cells on kbm.

you Y inverters are still weirdos but I do get it just makes more sense to some peoples brains that way.

See my problem is that I'm too used to aiming with a mouse. I can't hit poo poo with a gamepad cause I keep over-steering. I bought DOOM 2016 for Switch during a sale because it's loving DOOM running on that piece of crap. Couldn't hit the first imps you meet to save my life.
I have the same problem with flight simulators. I need my hot rear end or I'm just gonna have a miserable time.

I played thousands of hours of FFXI with just a keyboard because the mouse was so janky in that game that it was completely unusable.

i think it probably just depends on what you played on more to start with. i played half life and some other PC stuff back in the day on mkb but i didn't really play fps games for hundreds of hours until like halo and cod4. i was just at the perfect point in time in my life when multiplayer console cod4 really took off, where i had almost unlimited free time and a bunch of friends who were the same. we used to play that game for like 9 hours straight over xbox live, often finishing at like 6am lol.
