What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
On PC you can use Steam or other controller software to increase the deadzone.

For PS5 you’ll need to open it up, and either clean some contacts (often works, but often temporarily) or replace some parts (might involve soldering).

Ok but seriously, is there an easy way of fixing stick drift on a PS5 controller?

You have to replace the stick completely to really fix it and it is pretty difficult. Call Sony and if they stiff you you might have to consider some more morally questionable solutions

I think I saw a lot of people say putting alcohol on the base of the stick and turning it a bunch worked for them? Or maybe WD-40, I forget. I had some drift myself and it just sorta went away on its own after recalibrating it against my switch like 10 times which I assume means just swirling it in a circle a whole bunch loosed some dust.

Oh, it's a mostly British cast? That's cool, there's a lot of underrated talent on that side of the pond, and the funny thing is that most British actors do a little bit of everything, so you can hear a villain from FFXIV selling you a Honda.

Don't forget about Estinien's Subway advert.

I am on Day 2 of Case 5 of the first Phoenix Wright game and can I just say that Case 4 and all the twists and turns is one of my favourite things in the world.

The moment in Case 4 when I figured out that the bullet was STILL in the shoulder of Von Karma and that explained why he never used his right arm in court is probably one of my all time moments. Just a solid everything falling into place realisation and so wacky and wonderful and just had me grinning. I have made the vow to play every single one of these I can get my hands on because they so align with me. Interesting crimes to solve, great soap opera story telling, incredibly fleshed out and funny characters, this game has it all!! :D

Right now I am SO baffled at the way case 5 is going. Two deaths at the same time in different places. OK. Fine. The same person??? What??? And there appears to be EVIDENCE that coroborates that fact?!?! My brain is pretzeling around itself trying to figure it out!

Case 4 of the first AA is well loved for so many justifiable reasons, but man, case 5 has so many amazing characters and trial moments, idk which one I love more.

Case 4 is probably better in the greater context of the game as a whole, but Lana Skye and Damon Gant man... amazing one two punch of new characters.

I really like Lana. Do not quite know how to feel about Damon yet though. I am wary. :)

Plus with this game I have been doing voices and Damon definitely is easier on the vocals than Von Karma was. Von Karma, so far, is my second favourite character for who he is and how case 4 got put together.

I am seriously excited to be getting round to the other games but I am spacing them out so I do not get burnt out, cos I could easily devour them one after another.

While I'm not 100% sure if that was intentional, I do love how Phoenix no longer considers Larry his friend and treats him as an utter nuisance for the entire rest of the series. You almost never see heroic protagonists holding grudges no matter how justified and what Larry did, despite only being a kid at the time, is definitely the sort of thing anyone in Phoenix's shoes would never forgive someone for, given how it basically changed his entire life path.

I keep looking up voice actors in BG3 because they're almost all really good and like all of them are credited in a couple of episodes of EastEnders or as a murder victim in a crime drama and stuff like that.

Whoever did the casting must have done a hell of a job.

JK Simmons was fairly low energy though, and he's done good VA before. I feel like they wanted someone to really chew the scenery, like Irenicus in BG2, but JK wasn't up to it I guess.

Dark Souls actors are the same way. Solaire's biggest previous role was a hundred episodes as a superintendent on The Bill.

RE4R on PC continues to randomly crash on PC despite me running with absolute potato mode settings and using DLSS through the framework mod. Doesn't seem to be crashing any more or less than using the baked-in AMD upscaler so I'm rolling with DLSS since it looks a little better. I guess it hardly matters since with the graphics set to bare minimum it feels like old times playing the OG on GameCube. It

Anyways they've definitely preserved the more action-oriented feel of the original while adding/changing just enough to make it feel fresh. The knife as a resource is still kinda throwing me for a loop but I guess it's always better to parry than eat a hatchet to the dome or stop one of the enemies from sprouting a plaga and getting back up.

It's still sorta weird how they frontload these two huge difficulty spikes (the first big village square chase which isn't so bad when you figure out you just need to run the clock out and the valley arena) and then there's not a lit for a while after that.
