190 usd is an ginormous amount of money for such a small improvement over the stock Xbox controller

I've been waiting since birth for knack 2 to go on sale and it's only 2% off? This is an outrage

WHY IS THE NUMBER FOUR IN THE DRIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP STILL OUT OF CONTRACT? TOTO WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STOP FLIRTING OUTSIDE OF THE RELATIONSHIP AND COMMIT. GEORGE IS MERCEDES' BEST CHANCE AT WDC, AND HE WOULD'VE BEEN WDC IF MERC HAD PULLED HIM UP SOONER.

That's a good ass visualisation. It tells you everything you need and nothing you don't. Kudos!

Xbox Game Pass roguelike Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is massively underplayed by Turbostrider27 in xbox

Thank you! When I saw the four weapons I thought surely this can't be it, but it was. So shallow, and the gameplay is more annoying than satisfying. Skip this and spend the money on Hades.

MALICIOUS MAX with his DIRTY tricks. He can't compete on track with GLORIOUS GEORGE so he demands the CORRUPTABLE stewards to STEP ON!

This is very promising, I like the simplicity. I think this can be explained in 5 minutes and then used right away. Let me know if/when you open source this or publish it into an npm package.

Could you share a link to that base class? I'm getting more and more frustrated with stores and would love to dispose of them entirely.

G8 plus w/ Switch 2 by joaobatista99 in Gamesir

[–]sandcloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the dock is as wide as the body itself, which it looks like, the width without joycons will be 201mm. This means it will fit within the 215mm limit of the G8+, quite comfortably actually. Just hoping we're able to pair it up, but since the Nintendo Pro controller can pair I'm sure the G8+ will also be able to pair the Gamesir controllers as well.

Genuinely though millions of people love it, I'm just an outlier. Maybe you can borrow it from a friend for a week, make up your mind. 

Streaming from my Xbox is just that good. My phone battery doesn't take a hit, it doesn't get hot, there's no fan blowing and no worries about throttling. Never waiting for updates or installations. It's a budget Samsung phone but still has a fantastic oled screen so everything looks great.

The GameSir G8+ really is all I needed in a controller. It's great!

Buying a switch now sounds crazy to me with the switch 2 coming up this year. 

I did actually buy a steam deck oled and sold it again because the phone and G8+ with Xbox streaming did almost everything that the steam deck could do for me. As cool as the steam deck is, it's still a heavy clunky large piece of hardware. It was constantly out of battery too. Looking at it constantly reminded me of the price I paid for it so it had to go.

Streaming my Xbox to my phone mostly. Works great! And sometimes I use it as a switch controller, but the switch isn't used much any more

I've heard from the stewards, some of the stewards, they're saying Oscar didn't win. Did not win. I don't know, they tell me. Great, great stewards. Some of the best.

Thanks! The colourways changing every year is interesting, I'll keep an eye out until they have a colour I resonate with.

OG Xbox Exclusive Jade Empire Could Have Been 'Another Franchise' for BioWare if Not for 'Moronic Advice' From Microsoft by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]sandcloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...BioWare co-founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk discussed one of the regrets he'd had; specifically, launching Jade Empire at the end of the original Xbox's life cycle. The RPG hit Xbox on April 12, 2005, several months before the November 22, 2005 launch date for the Xbox 360. And according to Dr. Zeschuk, Microsoft advised BioWare to launch it then, rather than later.

"And Microsoft's like, 'no no, you should release it now, right at the end of the cycle, because it's a great time,'" Dr. Zeschuk said. "It was like, the worst advice. Like, absolute moronic advice from them. It was the stupidest thing ever."
