PSA: The retro Leisure Suit Larry games are being removed from Steam. So if you're a pervert and haven't got these games, better get them immediately.
Sadly this is one case where GoG can't help, as only the first and 7th games are on there.

This looks like something that would fit perfectly on a hackerโ€™s desk in a movie. It has some real cyberdeck vibes. ๐Ÿ˜€

Iโ€™d be really interested if anyone is using these for games other than Smash. I understand wanting it for a game where youโ€™ve practiced all the moves on a specific controller, but surely other controllers are better for other games.

We can be friends if it also bothers you that this quote is put on a picture of Picard and Wesley (The Boy?!) from The First Duty, when clearly itโ€™s what Picard said to Data in Peak Performance. What kind of low effort meme is this? Almost as bad as someone reposting it on Bsky for Internet points

Ergonomic excellence, responsive triggers, and solid buttons. But the left stick placement feels weird if you grew up with symmetrical controllers. The D-pad feels wrong, and nobody likes constantly running out of batteries.

This can also double for the Wii Classic Controller as there's really very minor difference and both are okay but not stellar ergonomics compared to the competition.

Nintendo remembered some of us like actual buttons. Dual sticks, proper shoulder buttons, and an okay shape. Odd placement of the cable (plugged into the Wii Remote) was clumsy, but this felt like a real pad again.

I really wanted to place this higher on the list, and if we were exclusively looking at first party games, it would have been near the top. It was just so innovative and brought in so many new people.

Nintendo ditched tradition for something unique. The split hands felt surprisingly natural, and motion opened new doors. But outside of Wii exclusives, the setup struggled to match traditional controls. Innovative but uneven.

They should be focusing on European and Asian markets, not an economy that's failing even more rapidly than the US state. Once prices go up in 3 months, and/or it breaks into full blown civil war, none of them will have money to spend on games.

They will all be retro games, rated 3.5/5 or better on GoG, and part of GoGs Preservation Program so you'll be able to play it on modern hardware.

It's extreaordinarily difficult to get followers on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Most people are happy to like and even reshare (sometimes for no reason), but not follow. It's actually one of the main downsides to the platform, as it's not a reliable way to reach a specifc audience.

Smaller, better button placement, and far more comfortable. The black and white buttons are still weird, but everything else works. Still not perfect, but a leap forward. The accessory slots, borrowed from the DC, are a great idea
