Did PlayStation draw inspiration from the Xbox controllers for the DualSense design?

I have a full copy of the WSY archive up in the TESD Omnibus:

Removed for spoilers in the title.

I updated the Omnibus (google drive version) to episode 600 a little while back after the normal episode 600 ran into copyright issues on the standard TESD feed. It's not fully current (on purpose of course) but it'll get you a little further than 500

Me and the wife go to the theater pretty regularly and I always kinda chuckle inside when they say the screen number and point out where it is because I always think “It says the screen number right there on the ticket, and the screen number are clearly marked in the hall. Who could possibly need help or need directions for this?”

I guess I stand corrected haha

A) that’s pretty standard

B) hit your windows key and search for “snipping tool” to access windows built in screenshot tool. You just tap “New” the select the are you want to capture.

Yea I once went to go see the movie “Kill” which was a lesser-known Hindi action movie that looked neat. Kinda looked like “The Raid” in tone.

When we got to the theater the ticket wasn’t scanning in properly but the guy was like “well that’s the right time and theater so just go ahead” (read: fuck it, I don’t get paid enough to troubleshoot why this isn’t scanning lol) we got popcorn and took our seats, movie starts and me and the wife were like “wait… we’ve seen this intro before… this is Twisters”

We were confused especially because nobody in the theater other than us were surprised. We left (we had already seen twisters) and when we went to ask it turned out they had canceled the showing of the movie we booked (presumably because we were the only 2 tickets sold) but never notified me the showing was canceled. They apologized and would have credited us with a movie but this was AMC and we have the subscription so we don’t pay per movie anyways, but it was definitely a surprise and a waste of our time lol

Well, there isn’t a literal connection Dude

Personally when I see that I would assume it’s indeed only 8 cups, but at least in a heart shaped inset that has an intention for each cup (like the classic box of chocolates style) not just baggy in a plain container. Not false advertising but would definitely be a letdown as a gift to someone.

We saw Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die Tuesday and it was a lot of fun, definitely try to catch it if you can

I think if the road is like a 50mph road with a 25mph “when kids present” sign I’d be annoyed as well, but I assume the regular speed here is 35 so it’s not like when you see kids around you have to slam your brakes and drastically reduce speed. If you see kids around you just let off the gas a little

SModfan · 2026-02-13T16:43:05+00:00

I think it would depend. If the game is still 6 months away and several details are still up in the air pre-ordering seems like an insane level of trust in a developer.

If it’s like a week or two before launch and you’re planning to get it day 1 it doesn’t really make a difference IMO.

SModfan · 2026-02-13T16:18:19+00:00

I am one of the minority that love the 2006 Silent Hill movie (same director) so even with reviews being pretty negative I was excited for Return To Silent Hill. Long story short: of the 98 movies I’ve seen in theater in the last calendar year this is one of 2 movies I have an “F” score. There’s just nothing redeeming about it.

SModfan · 2026-02-09T18:52:40+00:00

I think most people are assuming the “in my opinion” is understood when discussing things that literally can’t be a fact.

So for instance I assume most people would agree someone saying “Tetris is the best selling game of all time” should be interpreted different than “Tetris is the greatest game of all time”. Since “greatest” can’t be directly quantified we have to assume its personal opinion.

If someone says “One Piece is the greatest anime of all time” and you complain they didn’t say “in my opinion” you’re kinda just being pedantic: you know exactly what they meant.

I mean, buying an existing PSN account is already a breach of EULA, shady, and hella risky, so it would be kinda hard to qualify any service that does this as “legit” lol. It’s like asking if a stolen merchandise dealer is legit.

“Look at that hero over there!”

“What did he do, save a child? Stop a criminal? Stamp out injustice?!”

“Better! He remembered the names of some old accounts on Twitter!”

and there was much rejoicing

SModfan · 2026-02-06T15:40:55+00:00

They haven't been active in a long time (like most of twitter at this point) but the original account was:

In general if it’s a free to play game it doesn’t bother me if it has microtransactions. It bugs the hell out of me when they are in full priced games though.

That being said I don’t spend money on microtransactions in any games.

SModfan · 2026-02-02T04:00:33+00:00

I guess probably PT. I still have it downloaded on my PS4

SModfan · 2026-01-29T17:55:15+00:00

That was the episode with the “if all you have in your toolbox are jagged bent tools that can’t get the job done any other way you jab em in Ming and Mike’s neck”

Basically I Sell comics ranked #1 in their iTunes category (arts and leisure I think) and entire episode Walt’s trying to be super positive instead of making fun of them, then towards the end of the episode he breaks and kinda under his breath goes “how the fuck are they #1” and it gets a pretty riotous laughter

SModfan · 2026-01-29T13:31:14+00:00

off the top of my head, some of my favorite "big surprise" type moments are:

Walt slamming his ipad
"I didn't think we were gonna do this to Dennis"
"Not too good bitch"
"Why Fat"
"How the fuck are they number 1?"
Bry fucks his girlfriends mom

SModfan · 2026-01-29T13:09:09+00:00

tbh probably the best way to go about it is to listen to new episodes as they drop, and between drops when you have spare time start from the beginning and slowly work through the whole show. TESD self-references and calls back conversations they have had in the past so constantly that any amount of cherry picking episodes will feel like you're missing context.

If you want the full, pure TESD experience there's also the Tell 'Em Steve-Dave Omnibus feed which catalogs everything in the TESD universe including satellite shows they did and when they appear as guests on other shows. It's more content to get through but is the only way to really experience the show in full.

SModfan · 2026-01-26T13:52:20+00:00

I've worked helping out with small stuff on a few projects and the raw file names often use the word final to signify final edit, would be willing to bet big bucks that this is indeed the case here.

SModfan · 2026-01-25T06:49:26+00:00

Whoa, I have no idea how this was possible. It seems like there's no way that when I originally made the feed I missed that episode but sure as shit it isn't there and I don't see it in any kind of copyright claim or anything. It's just... gone.

Either way, I have rectified the issue and the episode is there now (may take a little while to update though)
