I see it as a 2017 game with a 2008 POV that released in 2021, if that makes sense. The game was weirdly brooding with no real purpose, so I played it in Spanish (which I don't speak) to make it more entertaining.

I keep saying those same words, then I put it off because uhhhh no reason actually. I have plenty of things I want to make and experiment with, but actually starting something is just a process full of doubt

You would think that only if you've played the game, but since no one has ever had the chance to (backlog hell), researchers have had to dig to learn that there's Sands of Time influence throughout the source code.

In case anyone's forgotten in these tough times, the golden rule is to do unto others as you once did for the Vacuous Rom

Next, I want to explore a more comfortable solution for shoulder buttons and triggers because I feel like I have to force myself to use both my index and middle fingers when necessary. It doesn't feel stable or comfortable leaving my pinky and ring fingers as the only support

With the rise of PC gaming handhelds, I think this is the perfect opportunity to break new ground with this. Surprised we haven't seen anyone take risks with weird controls on those things aside from Valve really

20.01.2026 05:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, I think that's enough for it. Instead of thinking of it as a layout surrounding a middle button or a 6+1 layout, it's more like an ABXY layout where X is split into 4 buttons. That makes it simpler to think about while keeping the possibilities open

20.01.2026 05:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But then again, the placement of the ... button may be enough to make it stand out and not get accidentally pressed if something primarily uses the other 6 inputs. I guess it also depends on hand size. May be awkward to only have one button be clickier/harder to press all the way in too hmm

20.01.2026 05:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Funny how that works out haha, that would be a good branding/marketing gimmick on its own. I think N64 feel would work nicely. I'd say that's on the tappy side, but leans towards mushy a little bit. If it turned out difficult to differentiate the buttons, then maybe some shapes could be tested

20.01.2026 05:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I do find it awkward getting used to certain control schemes when they try to include so many inputs. I recently started PS5 Spider-Man 2, and I'm being reminded of how limiting it is using these 4-button controls. Most of the inputs are things like L1/L2+Face, R1/R2+Face, Tri+Cir, etc.

True, the biggest roadblock with the 5 button GC layout is definitely the difficulty with multiple simultaneous inputs

20.01.2026 05:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Press feel as in clicky (joycon or 3DS button), tappy (pro or GC controller), mushy (PS2 or DS Lite)
