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

You say “forced to”, he says “able to” 🤷

Oh that’s very true and just weird.

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

Unless you’re into that shit, pun intended…

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.
Nikls94@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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 🤦🏻♂️😆

These were the best damn controllers.

I still have mine lol absolutely love it
Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
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 5 months ago
Disagree. It didn’t have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.

Ok but playing a game through a mirror would be hard af

Solution: play through two mirrors

Controller settings: Reverse X Axis.
TwanHE@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.
HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.
billwashere@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
OR3X@lemm.ee 5 months ago
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.
