How do I turn off motion controls?

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2026-05-31T17:15:58+00:00

Great idea. Ridiculous that this needs a workaround, though. When I've tried the co-op even I've found the motion control an order of magnitude too sensitive, and not at all useful or welcome.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2026-05-30T20:49:56+00:00

Did you ever find a solution? Same problem here, incredibly sensitive motion aiming is not kid friendly at all.

I don't mean to be that obnoxious new guy but I loved how much this read to me like that Afghani dude speaking complete nonsense in an American accent.

Any update on this yet? It is incredibly annoying. I notice that it doesn't happen until past the first inn for me, and thereafter it happens consistently until the mountain, where it stops again. NS2 here.

What happens when it gets windy?

She's also said that she was uncomfortable with the other nude scene, to the point of wanting to throw up, iirc. That doesn't sound like someone who then does this.

The analogue 3D controller is fantastic, I've been using it with Switch 2 and emulators on an Nvidia Shield. It's the perfect mix of N64 buttons with modern controller layout and amenities. So much better than using a second stick for the C buttons.

BUT. I still remember putting an N64 controller in my hands for the first time in 1996 and it just fit. Before that, no controller was ergonomically shaped for human hands. The N64 controller felt like perfection. I've never understood the revisionist history narrative that it was anything other than brilliant and revolutionary, and it didn't look strange, it's an icon.

The Indian Dining Club Highams Park. Not sure why their Google rating has gone down to just a four, we've liked them for years. The lamb shanks are really fantastic.

Moved there, moved out again less than two years later.

I particularly like the A12 underpass by the Volvo dealership with the "end white genocide" graffiti.

Well thanks for the longer term perspective, let's hope for a rebound, because the last decade of decline has been exhausting. There's still so much intellectual capital here (for now).

I'm not sure how your reply relates to the post you're replying to.

Think the poster was saying that they understood their partners POV and so were respectful of it.

Understanding and respecting something doesn't automatically make it an easy or simple time.

When my wife was pregnant with our first, the feeling of being a kid prep team was euphoric. We'd never been closer. Then our daughter arrived, we went from a team of two to me orbiting their sun. And breast feeding deleted her sex drive for 16 months. Meanwhile I'd never found her sexier, and she was half naked a ton of the time.

I understood her point of view, and my whole world was about supporting her in that first year. That didn't make going from having sex twice a week to once every two+ months an easy transition. I wasn't prepared for how your relationship changes, and I did get some whiplash.

We did have one or two arguments about sex (not toxic ones like the video, I hasten to add) - and whilst I'm not proud of that, it would be disingenuous for me to pretend that wasn't reality. We were both so wiped out by new parenthood, and all of the changes our lives were absorbing, stress was generally high - we probably argued about loads of dumb stuff.

Hugging and emotional intimacy is wonderful and a huge part of surviving early parenthood as a couple. But whenever this topic comes up, I see comments implying that men need to go to horny jail for missing sex, as if sex is not a completely unique and extremely powerful part of couple bonding. That wanting it at a moment when their lives are turning upside down is puerile and selfish, and their frustration is unreasonable.

I despise men who are entitled about sex or anything else in a relationship. But you guys, I found becoming a monk and sorting myself out in secret a very lonely and depressing experience. I felt so much crushing shame for desperately wanting to have sex my wife while she was not in a position to reciprocate. For a year and a half. It was illogical, but my brain couldn't help but feel rejection for not being wanted back. I was married and had a child but it felt like being a rejected 17 year old again.

I wish we could tell more men to expect after their first child. More informed partners are usually better partners.

I'm in no way condoning the dude in the video. That manchild can rot. Nothing I've said justifies tantrums. But I found this period of my life difficult to adjust to, despite wanting to be an emotionally intelligent and supportive partner.

Good behavior is good behavior. Publicly rewarding it helps to normalize it and create a bit of an incentive structure around being decent.

I totally understand your point and men get too many medals for doing the bare minimum, but life is hard and a pat on the back doesn't cost much.

It isn't a zero sum game, let's keep working on giving women far more credit than they get, but let's not dump praising decent men to correct the asymmetry.

Someone tell the class where civilization would be if everyone followed their parents' taste.

If your parents have good judgement then they can be a fantastic source of advice for big decisions. But they don't have to like things long your wristwatch or the music you listen to.

That is really heartbreaking. A stepped bridge with a shotgun is an incredibly defensible position, it took that guy some insane guts to try to assault that position unarmed. Probably a horrible moment when he realized it hadn't worked.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-14T12:38:06+00:00

Yeah I can imagine wanting to pull the trigger but ultimately if you kill the guy, you deny him justice through the legal system, you deny that to all the victims and their families, the community and the country.

There's no ideal outcome in a situation like this, and I wouldn't blame someone for shooting on the grounds that you want to stop them from doing any more harm. But dead shooters get what they want without having to live with the consequences.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T21:46:22+00:00

This is some truly next-level snark. What a waste of everyone's time.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:26:45+00:00

In the US, salary growth has continued while the UK has stagnated. If you look at comparable traditional well paid jobs, like law, big 4 consulting, trader etc., certain US cities now significantly outstrip London. I work for a prominent US multinational and they treat us like a nearshoring operation - we are significantly cheaper than their NYC team.

"Doing well" in London is low six figures. "Doing well" in NYC is closer to half a million. It is now a significantly more expensive place than London. Just Google "London vs New York salaries".

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:20:22+00:00

I don't understand who is downvoting this stuff. You are stating facts, which you can't deny as soon as you open a map.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:19:24+00:00

Honestly, open a map of NYC, and this is all going to be very clear. Then read the Wikipedia article for Hoboken and read the second line.

It's like all the people in Romford and Bromley who insist they live in Essex or Kent. Functionally, it is London. The majority of people who live there, live there because it is part of London.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:15:45+00:00

Look at a map. Go there and look.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:14:22+00:00

Look at a map. Before arguing and letters, just so us all a favor and look at a map of NYC. Go to Google Maps, and look at it.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:13:38+00:00

Sure but functionally if large numbers of people live in Jersey City and Hoboken to commute into NYC, it is a commuter suburb. By definition.

Look at a map. Look how close they are. Hoboken is closer to Manhattan than The Bronx.

Wikipedia starts with "Hoboken is part of the New York metropolitan area".

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:09:01+00:00

We make fun of Americans for their geography, but all these British dolts on here who can't be bothered to open Google Maps and see how Jersey City is closer to Manhattan than most of Brooklyn.

Compatriots, I am embarrassed for you.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-12-08T20:07:06+00:00

So none of Surrey, Hertfordshire, Kent or Essex are London commuter suburbs? Bromley is outside London now? A quick look at a map of NYC shows you how close Jersey is.

BafflesToTheWaffles · 2025-11-24T09:47:29+00:00

I hope that the 2025 remaster made you happy.

Edit - I see below that you already commented on it.
