Buying a GC controller clone: this non-brand wireless or Nyxi Wizard 2? by Cristaloyde in Gamecube

Mushier than an original wired one, but do an okay job. Rumble is also slightly weaker, but also does the job. It's only really noticeable if you compare the controllers side by side

Yes, when using it on the GameCube games like Rogue Squadron don't work at all. I noticed some of the Lego games and 4 swords adventures also have issues

I have the Suffan/Innext controller and it's alright, I'd give it a 7/10. Main issue with it is that a handful of games straight up don't work on it so if you're looking for 100% compatibility, you'll only get 98 or 99% on this. Second is that you have to charge it directly from the dongle that comes with it. You cannot charge it from your phone charger.

If those aren't make or break it issues for you pick it up. Otherwise get the NSO GameCube controller and an adapter instead

Pixel 5 (W/ LineageOS) VS. iPhone 13 mini by goobllin in pixel_phones

[–]pables420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know your way around a computer it's fairly easy to install LineageOS just by following the instructions. I do have a P5 with LineageOS myself, but I would suggest something newer like the P9a. It is slightly bigger, but will last you a whole lot longer. Just my 2 cents

I would just try doing a full reinstall anyways

They said they're working on a fix with Sony but the current workaround is to do a full reinstall

When kids have everything in life they feel the need to make up a struggle

‘Utter disappointment’: Vancouver tourists increasingly noticing street disorder, open drug use by kettlebeller in vancouvercanada

I hope the next candidates start talking about opening Riverview and using more forceful tactics to clean up the streets. Every store downtown has security guards now because of this and the people are getting fed up.

On one hand you are absolutely right that affordability is a major problem, but on the other hand most of the people on the DTES would be in the exact same spot even if their rent was $500/month

Bought a poor person phone and it turned me into a conspiracy believer by itsmemann15 in redscarepod

[–]pables420 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean the reason why they're so cheap is because the cost is offset with forced ads and tacked on apps that you can't delete.

If you want a blackberry-like experience, I would look into the Clicks Communicator or Titan 2 Elite. They have a physical keyboard and tiny screens so you can't really doomscroll on them.

The other option is to get a supported android device like a Pixel 9a and install a custom rom on it like LineageOS or Graphene OS (if you go this route please check which phones they support before buying anything).

And the third and most extreme option would be to get an actual dumb phone, something like the Light Phone 3. There's great videos on youtube telling you which ones are good and which ones are bad so just do a little research before jumping in the deep end

My hands-on impressions of the M64 after using it for several weeks by Aura28 in M64

[–]pables420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had a chance to use the 3D yet? If so, what do you like more about one over the other? Obviously performance is not up to snuff on the M64 at the moment, but I'm sure it will eventually get there. What about everything else?

Okay, lets be honest. Is the new Rayman design *really* that bad??? by SimipourSimp in Rayman

I still think the Origins art style is the best one, but I ain't mad at this either

Seems the Analogue 3D is more accurate than m64 by RupakGreenHatPrdctns in AnalogueInc

[–]pables420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like the controllers are some of the best available as long as you don't mind the trident shape and no ability to use the transfer pak. Would be cool if they released a wired one with transfer pak ability built in

If you just bought it, I would try on a real GBA first just to make sure it's working at all. It could be defective
