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 9 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.

They look so cute, hugging controllers.

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 9 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 9 months ago
Shop around, you can't beat that price. It's really a good bargain.

I feel like this person would do it for free, and that makes me uncomfortable.

It smells wrong. I mean, the megatron doesn’t say “Urban free-wheelers”, it says “Sofa masturbaters”, you know?

Reminds me of the old days of wired controllers

Does that $5 cover finding the remotes first?
monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 9 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 9 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.

what did you do to the controllers

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