I don't mean outright abuse, I mean the way people put pressure on the sticks or something during gameplay seems to lead to bad outcomes.

20.11.2025 19:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I've only been using a S/X controller for 2 years though. What absolutely does go bad with Xbox controllers is the stick rubber, it loses grip and gets deformed over time. Also, one of my Xbox One controllers eventually had the bumper snap clean off during gameplay, but that was like after 9 years.
20.11.2025 18:16 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I feel like the common stick drift issue is almost individual to how people use controllers. Like, it's crazy how frequently some people experience it. I never had it happen to an Xbox One or Series S/X controller yet and I got an Xbox One 10 years ago and play it all the time.

18.11.2025 23:18 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Seems too soon. We still don't have live action Great Mouse Detective and that came out nearly 40 years ago. Would love to see Dwayne Johnson or Timothee Chalamet be a mouse.

13.11.2025 18:21 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The most compelling part to me is the size. There just isn't much of a pre-built mini market with notable gaming capabilities. Or even half-tower size. ASUS makes a gaming PC the size of a modem, but that starts at like $1200. You can get a decent pre-built gaming tower for like $500 these days.
13.11.2025 02:41 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The one glaring downside to me as primarily a console gamer is the lack of physical games. I prefer buying them, especially if it's a new, full-price game.
12.11.2025 22:16 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's basically the exact thing I want as long as the price isn't too crazy. I don't really have room for a tower, and my gaming laptop experience is that they have annoying overheating issues. With even Sony putting old exclusives on PC now, you're gaining more than you're missing.

I never really got far into that show, but the bit with Bubbles throwing shopping carts down a hill to steal and sell was the funniest shit. "These carts are public domain, Ricky."
12.11.2025 03:12 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Makes sense being surrounded by enormous lakes, but I woulda guessed Maine. When I think Maine, I think lobsters and lighthouses.
04.11.2025 05:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Some stereotypes seem to stand out, like Chrysler has awful reliability and Euro brands are maintenance money pits to own in the US.
03.11.2025 15:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I have a 2013 Kia that I've been very happy with, but yeah, I have read some mixed things about recent years. On the other hand, I feel like EVERY car I specifically look up, there's a commonly reported problem, so you kinda gotta do a rough risk assessment.
03.11.2025 15:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I've had a Kia for many years and take terrible care of it and have had zero problems. I think Hyundai-Kia is documented as really upping their game around 2010ish, their older cars supposedly had a lot of reliability issues.
03.11.2025 14:42 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I feel like Hyundai-Kia is really not that far off from Toyota/Honda reliability for substantially less money on the used market. Unfortunately, many model years have that security exploit that makes them a target for theft and can make the insurance more expensive or even hard to attain.

03.11.2025 02:08 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I seriously considered moving there before, it's right next door to Fargo, ND. Was super cheap at the time. Cold as fk though.

29.10.2025 21:24 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yeah, the Garfield Spiderman movies are super underrated.
29.10.2025 20:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I probably will because it's my favorite campaign, but it's gonna be like 4 years later when it's on sale for $15. Definitely not in a race to play it.
27.10.2025 14:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Maybe it's because Halo Infinite and Halo Master Chief Collection (which has Halo 1) are still active multiplayer games on Xbox/PC, I figure they don't want to splinter those already fading communities further until a brand new Halo drops.
27.10.2025 14:54 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I use them, but I don't even know how to use them properly on a keyboard. I've always just used them as "--".
Of course I could find out, but it's one of those good enough things. Like, do you ever need to change car tires? Probably, but mine have been fine for 15 years.
I feel like Steam could devastate the console market if they released a console version of the Steam Deck. Something reasonably-priced/sized could really flip a lot of the people who are all about consoles. No paying for multiplayer and a library not tied to one iteration of machine.
22.10.2025 20:02 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I watched some documentary about the "gathering of the juggalos" festival they had, and the community of the fanbase seemed pretty cool. Like a relatively harmless cult. I don't know any other artists that foster that sort of community, mb deadheads? Of course, the music is shitty as fuck though.
22.10.2025 02:30 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I used to have this exact poster on my bedroom door. I like Star Wars, but it was really more of a deep-cut reference to a song by the band Everclear.
17.10.2025 04:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeah, I think I'm gonna take a pass on visiting Cameron Park, Texas in this lifetime. Maybe next one.
