In the early '90s, my dad made a universal remote by hot gluing 3 regular remotes together in a Π shape.
$5 is a steal

Do I have to supply the tape or does he bring his own?
Jerkface@lemmy.world 11 months ago
See, that’s how they get’cha. He brings his own but he charges by the inch.

Sounds like my last trip to Reno…

You won’t find anybody else who does it for $5.

Why I was just sayin' to the wife the other day, "Honeybuns, who can we get to come over and duct tape our controllers together real cheap!?" Which is weird because I'm not even married.

It’s so hard to get controller tapers these days. It’s a dying art.

Aww! Green is big spoon and white is little spoon 🤗

They look so cute, hugging controllers.

At last, I can play Armoured Core the way it was intended

All of them for 5 dollars?? I’m taking this fool for a ride, boys.

My god, it’s beautiful.

Damn you still have a SuperScope. Extremely jealous of your collection. I use an 8bit snes controller as my main PC one. Feels perfect for me. Even more than ps5/xbox. Too bulky!
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Oh no, I just linked the photo for a joke. I’m just as envious of their massive collection as you are. The only interesting controller I own is a fighting stick.
tygerprints@kbin.social 11 months ago
Shop around, you can't beat that price. It's really a good bargain.

what a steal

I feel like this person would do it for free, and that makes me uncomfortable.
Apeman42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It smells wrong. I mean, the megatron doesn’t say “Urban free-wheelers”, it says “Sofa masturbaters”, you know?
paultimate14@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Reminds me of the old days of wired controllers
extant@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Does that $5 cover finding the remotes first?
monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I mean how is he making money? The $5 barely will cover gas. The shareholders must know! Are there ads?

This could actually be very useful. For example if your controller is completely covered in some sort of industrial lubricant that tape won’t stick to, then you can pay this guy and he’ll have to clean it so he can tape it. Now you have a clean controllet
Peekystar@kbin.social 11 months ago
Could also be useful because he claims to tape all your controllers. So if you've lost some, call up this guy and he'll locate every controller in your house to bring them all together in a taped mass.

Or if they’re distributed around the continent and you want them all together. Cheap multi-origin shipping, hell yeah.
tubaruco@lemm.ee 11 months ago
what did you do to the controllers

he uses dollar store electrical tape that leaves even more gunk behind than what you started with.
