“I can’t wait to see their next brilliant logo design!”

ಠ_ಠ

Just wait until you see the sequel to this one.

But the “ii” part bows to you! Its revolutionary!

Oh I thought that was like “we” cuz you play alone most of the time.

Random Nintendo execs show up to your house unannounced.

“We would like to play”

You stare at them blankly for a beat then shut the door in their faces. This is your time away from the world and its demands. No one will take that away from you.

That whole era had really shitty design. “Sleek this, minimalist that. Only black/white/greys allowed”. Got old real fast.

My brain just did some work. Now I can’t unseen this as that manly handshake scene from Predator. The two 'i’s are the guys, and the ‘W’ is a zoom-in of their handshake.

I can hear this picture

Now I’m holding Z. Can you hear the difference?

Now I’m holding Z on all 4 controllers.

I only recently learned about this one!

I don’t remember anyone passing this trick around back in the day. Maybe because most people didn’t have 4 controllers?

was there a difference?

Yeah, you could hold the Z button at startup and it would make squeaking sounds instead of the normal thing.

I have the GB color, gamecube and og xbox intros set as boot intros on my steamdeck. Always a neat thing to look at.

I still contend that the GameCube controller is the best designed controller on the market in terms of comfort and usability.

Generally, but it has some issues. I found the C-stick to be very uncomfortable with the lack of a cap, and you can’t really press two face buttons at the same time unless one of them is A. The latter isn’t usually a problem, but certain games, like the Arkham series, would be virtually unplayable. That there’s only one shoulder button on one side is also pretty weird. The dual stage triggers are pretty neat, though, and the only other controller I’ve used with them is the Steam Controller, which has a pretty steep learning curve.

Yeah, figuring how to roll my fingers among the face buttons to do fancy stuff in Metroid Prime was tricky. I also like to use my thumbs to reach across the controller to the dpad and c stick on the opposite side so that I can change visors while on the move, for example.

Yeah, it shows just how good of a game Metroid Prime was because it was still amazing despite very awkward controls.

Using different sizes and shapes for the buttons based on frequency of use (and to help new gamers not have to look down) was a really smart idea.

The haptics are great on it. But the pads aren’t good replacements for sticks.

Depends on the game. I couldnt play bg3 without pads. Really need both.

I can’t play souls games on anything but a steam controller. The pads are so much better than a stick for camera movement, and the pads are incredibly useful with the games’ awkward layout for sprinting.

Currently playing Armored Core 6 with a Steam Controller, and I love it. But… the right track pad leaves a lot to be desired.

The best aspect of the Steam Controller, without a doubt, is the modularity and shareability of it. The standard control scheme a game tries to assume, most of the time it stinks. But being able to browse through community-made control schemes and finding one that works for me is fantastic. The highest downloaded control scheme for AC6 got me 95% of the way there; I just had to change the bindings of the back pedals to suit me. Now it uses the track pad and the gyro in conjunction-- track pad for big sweeping movements and gyro for small adjustments-- and I love it.

I think steam controller has some shortcomings. Deck definitely has better controls.

The C-stick and Z bumper are the two big weaknesses. If it had a proper twin-stick design instead of the C-stick nub, and actual bumpers that felt good, it would hands down be the best controller ever designed.

This one or the N64 logo (with its 64 faces) is the greatest real logo

Didn’t realize it had 64 faces that’s cool af

I don’t see how the N64 logo can have 64 faces. I counted 24 faces.

I’ve just looked it up, and it seems to just come from a Reddit post where they explain how they’ve worked it out, but in their working out they’ve triple-counted the N-shaped faces.

Probably the actual 3d representation does

A 3D representation would be made of triangles… so maybe that?

Wait til they hear about the arrow in the FedEx logo
