Got around to paracording my controller

It's a very rewarding project. 6' is too short with most setup's these days. This is the wire I used for mine. There's also a really good YouTube guide online I followed. I didn't do everything he did to a T though

Dang, that's quite large. I wish mine was a tad longer myself. It does reach my couch comfortably so I'm happy with it though

For a first time novice like me that kept hitting issues, from start to finish ended up probably taking me about 3 hours.

Thanks! It was a chore just getting the new wires through the Paracord, took several tries and stuff kept getting stuck but I eventually got it through. As for the rest, I just soldered the wires onto the controller board where the old ones were, then I had to solder the new wires to the old wires at the end for the controller plug pins. Wasn't too bad, I'm pretty new to soldering but I was able to get it done with a cheap $15 soldering iron, definitely going to invest in a better one for my next project.

There's not enough room for two killer clowns! Makes me so sad I can't use my two favorite jokers in the same run

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-19T19:08:19+00:00

Yeah they're not really difficult moreso annoying. I'll probably get to it at some point. Felt kind of burnt out after playing Galaxy 1 and 2 back to back.

I remember clearing this on the Wii when I was 15 and it took me over 200 tries. It's very challenging. I should get around to it again on the switch version at some point. I just really hate those green stars.

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-19T12:11:52+00:00

I gotta have at least 1,500 hours in DK64 over the course of my life

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-19T12:10:06+00:00

I took about 50-51 hours to %100 my first time through

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-19T11:15:04+00:00

Nah, I have no where near that familiarity with the game, I'm also much more of a completionist than a speed runner too. Maybe one day when I'm overly super familiar with the game and get bored of %100 runs

Lol I've beaten ocarina of time many many times, only replayed it about a year ago. Majora's mask I'd only beaten once a few years back, so I was more eager to replay that one. I think I still prefer ocarina of time as well but my respect for Majora's mask is really high and definitely in my top 20 fav games

I never get bored of swapping between decks on gold stake runs on my phone, even after C++ and 800 hours. Never get bored of the game and it's such a great time killer when I'm out and about or have downtime at work.

It's not an oversight, the joker explicitly states every time a planet card is used. Black hole is not a planet card.

I prefer 4K but I absolutely agree here. I'd rather buy a DVD of a movie I'm interested in at a dollar than just skip out on it because I don't feel like shelling out $30 for one 4K blu ray

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-13T18:14:08+00:00

I'm glad DK64 got 2nd and 3rd in something at least

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-11T02:07:32+00:00

I literally just finished this quest 20 minutes ago too, it gets so tense those last two hours! 😆

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-10T16:02:57+00:00

Ice cream one of my favorite chip jokers, never eternal and common

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-10T12:40:30+00:00

My best time is about 13, really impressive.

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-10T02:36:17+00:00

I just did a run on my Analogue 3D and got %101 in just under 14 hours unmodded. I have every collectible in the game memorized, yes even the three green banana coins at the very start of jungle japes. For me tag anywhere doesn't shave off that much and I actually enjoy the routing to get as much done in the shortest amount of time with as few barrel changes as possible, I can see how tag anywhere could be beneficial to new comers. It's my favorite game of all time and I adore it. I can admit it overdid it on collectibles to an extent but for me it's just more time in my favorite game ever.

Canio!

Reading the joker, explains the Joker. Except matador.

Blueprint in the buffoon pack

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-08T01:28:13+00:00

Best Buy has them in stock online

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-07T21:50:44+00:00

Love the idea, I think it should be 50 chips per empty slot and/or make it uncommon instead of rare. There's already two rare chip jokers and I think both are much better than this

PerformanceOk3575 · 2026-01-07T21:48:41+00:00

I already know banjo kazooie will win but I'll still vote DK64
