    Controller settings: Reverse X Axis.

      Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.

    Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.

    You swap the left/right controls on the controller. Or game settings.

    I have no idea if that would work but it sounds good and dammit now I wanna try it.

      Yeah, there wouldn’t be any options to swap left/right movement on a Gamecube. Back then you were lucky if a game had more than a handful of settings at all. It would be interesting to try on a system that allows it. I also wonder if you just practiced it enough if your brain would adjust. Sort of like that deal with the reversed controls on a bicycle that Tom Scott(?) did a video about a while back.

  When that door is closed, you’re forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.

  Bathroom design advice: don’t hang mirrors facing toilets.

  As someone currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

    I generally nut ropes, but mad props to a man who can nut logs

    I mean, the Switch is already designed to take it to the shitter with you.

  My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

    I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

    Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: kickstarter.com/…/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

      For those that don’t care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

  This just unlocked a memory of running a PS2 controller extension cable to use on the toilet 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

  Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

  BEST. CONTROLLER. EVER

  • Psythik@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Disagree. It didn’t have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.
