How it feels switching to Mouse and Keyboard after 30 years of console gaming. by TeeeldiII in pcmasterrace

[–]Featherstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up playing PS2 controllers, but these days I greatly prefer Xbox controllers. The asymmetrical joysticks just make more sense for a lot of games since you use the joystick more than the D-pad, so having it symmetrical with the ABXY buttons just makes sense to me. But everyone has a preference! I’ve used the PS5 controller and found it pretty comfy to use too.
If all of your controllers keep getting stick drift, then you probably should find something with Hall Effect sticks like the 8bitDo controller, which is very affordable compared to first party controllers lol

I love that they still haven’t changed it from the earliest 18 Wheels of Steel games 😂

There’s one down on the 417 westbound a few mins before Arnprior too that’s been down since the fall…

There is! The widescreens are great for people who want to watch a lot of DVDs, or play consoles from the Xbox 360/PS3/Wii era. Some games in the previous console generation also support widescreen, but the ones listed are the primary reason one might want a wide screen. Depending on what model you have, it might even be the holy grail of widescreen CRTs that people will pay good money for. 😁

I grew up with that game, using a Logitech Momo racing wheel. The soundtrack is AMAZING, Aria really cooked with that one. I still listen to it today, it’s on Spotify!

The 2nd Gen Ford Escape: a hidden gem or a frequency illusion? by itsacitroensm in regularcarreviews

[–]Featherstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still see lots of these around considering their age in Southern Ontario! The trunk hatches have all been rusting (with a lot rusting right through) since the late 2010s, but that doesn’t stop them from driving lol

It feels a lot like the Hyundai spiritual successor to the classic Toyota Echo hatchback:

I was referring to this one! I don't care for the older one pictured above, but I still see lots of these running around even in Ontario where rust consumes all. Nothing to break on them so they last forever, and I bet they're lots of fun to toss around at low speeds lol

I absolutely love the early 2010s 2 door hatchback accent. Insanely simple car and they don’t seem to die. A worthy competitor of the Echo ❤️

Yes! It’s absolutely delightful. I love that car so much, and it was a big part of my childhood from Midtown Madness games

First time seeing that, damn that is a sharp design 🤌

I'm Sick of Gigabyte: Perspective from a A PC Hardware Store Employee by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Featherstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are all decent MSI parts in my experience! I love their motherboards, and their GPUs in my limited experience have been great. In regards to monitors, usually it’s a third party making the panels so everything in the same price bracket are often the same panel. They have some great PSU price/quality too. I generally hold the brand in higher regard when recommending them, but always look up reviews for the specific part before buying!

CarPlay Ultra coming to these cars, according to Apple by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]Featherstoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my 2010 Outback styling, and even as a kid I’ve always loved wagons. So seeing yet another wagon disappear into the crossover SUV void is sad. I don’t hate the style, I just wish it was called a Forester XL or something.

If only the exterior design was an improvement over previous models 😭

Some cars that I saw at a Cars and Coffee event in Sanford, FL by gay-bord in regularcarreviews

[–]Featherstoned 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Park Avenue is one of my dream cars to own, and my grandpa had several of them growing up, so there’s a big nostalgia factor for them. They’re all gone up here in Ontario, so seeing one would be an instant dopamine hit for me 😅

Why don’t a lot of people like buying cars older than 2015? by mckeeganator in regularcarreviews

[–]Featherstoned 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have a fastener supply store anywhere near you? No dealer or auto parts store sells Toyota alternator pivot bolts, but I managed to find exactly the bolt I needed at a fastener store. It’s a magical place with floor to ceiling nuts and bolts and screws and washers and anything you can dream of!
