  • All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.

    With the right joystick in place, it’s certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.





  • What do you think about no preservations from 100 years ago? 1000? 2000?

    We could certainly continue to live and evolve and make the same mistakes again without such history. But it gives us historic context, fills our curiosity, and allows us to analyze long term developments.

    Video games are a cultural good. Like music. Music was, is, and remains part of our culture. It enriches us. It’s useful for entertainment, for creativity, for curiosity, and to share culture and interests with one another.

    I imagine preservation fulfills our innate desire to collect and preserve what we gained. Loss of what we find meaningful or influential sparks negative emotions.

    Did you read the article? I don’t see why one would reduce it to “didn’t like the election outcome”.

    Even going only by the title, if that’s your interpretation, expectation, or suggestion of the situation, it’d be better to label it as such.
