One day when you’re an adult, you’ll look back at the childish patronising insults you threw at millions of women, men and children, none of whom you know or have any right to judge, in order to feel a sense of smug superiority for a few moments on the Internet.
Ya. The controller people on their little boxes do not understand.
Like, I could plug a controller into my PC … but WHY?

If adulthood hasn’t happened yet, it’s not likely. I broke enough Atari controllers to have paid my dues. Fixed em with superglue and tape. But, you know. I was twelve. Then I got older and purchased big boy toys.
You ought to consider shorter sentences. And drop some of the formalisms. That works better for today’s audiences.

This is not tiktok. People can handle longer sentences.

because i can lean back and put my legs up on my desk this way. using the mouse in this position is super awkward (keyboard cable would be long enough, but no surface for the mousepad is an issue). But i wouldn’t bother with a cable for plugging in the controller, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth are a thing nowadays.

Really? Like, I know its physically possible. Do you survive long?

I use gyro + flickstick, which is a lot better than the regular stick aim :3 (after getting used to gyro stick aim just feels slow and mushy x3. I can’t use it anymore)
But I do fine at surviving :3. I mean, in competitive games I at least survive as long as my team usually does, and my K/D/A or win/lose scores are usually in the positive and stuff. Im not like a pro competitive player by any point tho, so it’s also not like im fighting the best of the best hehe ^^ and obviously singleplayer/co-op games are fine :3

Sure. Racing and flight simulators are a joke on those little boxes. Ya need a PC. Do you use extra monitors?
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Hah, I play on a laptop with just its screen.
‘Gran Turismo’ is in fact quite good, and supports wheels. Their fantasy tracks are really nice, starting from the first game. ‘Wreckfest’ also works fine on consoles.

Man those smart TVs are so cheap now. The video screen is what you interact with most, its the biggest part of the experience. Get yourself a huge TV, an HDMI cable, and call it your gaming monitor. (Mine TVs don’t get to talk to the internet.)
