are you unable to hit both trigger and shoulder buttons at once due to some disability or ???

L1: Roll Left
R1 Roll right
L2: Height down
R2: Height Up
magic nonexistent buttons: pew pew

I ended up figuring out which way was "up" on most of the descent levels and would usually level myself to that

I mean, you can’t map up, down, roll left, roll right, and fire to the 4 inputs (two trigger, two digital) on a typical controller

for that matter I’ve never even seen a controller with more than 4 shoulder inputs

descent is probably one of the few games i can think of that would probably be easier with a controller vs keyb & mouse

chicory the game is deece. wasn't interested in the infinity amounts of side quests but they're very optional. mini logins still sings the mountain top song from time to time :-)

the accessibility/content features are quite granular and good also

up down left right: analog stick

roll left/right: shoulder buttons

fire: right trigger

secondary fire: left trigger

strafe lock is probably one of the face buttons, as is up/down throttle

and there's still like 2 face buttons, an entire other analog stick, and whatever that fuckin touchpad thing on the ps4 controller is.

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
The Thrustmaster T.16000 is a good joystick and it can be converted between left and right-handed versions with an allen wrench.

didnt see this until now but:

assign a button to strafe lock, problem solved. or use the other analog stick to strafe.

ever since i started using steam's built-in gyros-to-{mouse,joystick} input crap i have been absolutely shocked at how much more playable and enjoyable traditionally keyboard/mouse games can be with a gamepad. honestly feels like one of the best and unmarketed things out there in steam

if y'all haven't played overload its basically just more descent levels. Like its the exact same game, just updated to run in 1080p.

most games are like "no one wants the same game twice, lets add some things and tweak some gameplay and add some new features" but these guys were like "hmm actually lots of people want the same exact game so lets just make that" and they were right imo

descent 2 had such a killer soundtrack. like maybe the best of the 90s. and the plot was cool!
