#Touch Screen Controllers

[chaoticbooklesbian]

Told my car-obsessed uncle that I dread having to replace my car not because I love my current one, but because I don't want a touch screen, and finding a car without a touch screen but with up-to-date safety features is damn near impossible. Predictably, he immediately dove headfirst down that rabbit hole, and emerged several minutes later with a troubled expression on his face to declare that I was correct.

(We did have to remind him that I have ADHD and minimizing distractions is Wildly Important when he didn't understand why I wouldn't want a touch screen built into my car. Never mind that it's a dangerous distraction for everyone, he didn't get it until we explicitly reminded him of the ADHD.)

'mewling virgin orion this' and 'experienced top megatronus' that. WRONG

Orion Pax is an experienced playboy city mech that's had the finest spike and valve from Praxus to Polyhex. He gets to sweep Megatron off his feet and deflower this previously untouched and unshakable fortress of a mech. Why? Because I SAID SO

Nintendo Cancels Switch 2 After Seeing Mean Reddit Comment

Only months before it was slated to release the console, Nintendo has officially let hardware manufacturers and software developers know that all work on the Nintendo Switch 2 is to be stopped immediately. All existing Switch 2 units have reportedly been destroyed already, with the exception of a single prototype currently displayed at Kyoto's Nintendo Museum next to a Philips CD-i.

Addressing partner companies, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa explained that the dramatic decision came after Nintendo became aware of a Reddit comment calling them "Nintenfaildo" and stating that they should "just give up and make PC games tbh." Furukawa claimed the company "did not know we were doing a Nintenfail and, frankly, wish we had been informed sooner. That's a lot of money we just lost on this thing."

The author behind the Reddit post, u/DaEpicGamer69, could not be reached for comment since the account was suspended due to sharing lewd art featuring Princess Daisy and Funky Kong.

In light of this new information, senior executive officer Yoshiaki Koizumi told IGN that all of the company's resources will be shifted towards making further entries in the Mario Teaches Typing and Mario's Early Years! PC game series.

Asked if Nintendo would consider making new game consoles in the future, Koizumi responded with an emphatic no, but Furukawa would not rule out re-releasing older ones. "Pikmin 3 is the best Pikmin. Xenoblade Chronicles X is the best Xenoblade Chronicles. Wind Waker HD is the best Wind Waker. Underrated. So underrated."

"I told you we should have gone with the Wii U again," Shigeru Miyamoto added. "I fucking told you."

To all the Trekkies/ers out there looking at that parody in the top panel saying "Actually, Dee. You're sitting in OPS, not the helm, and there's only one control panel on that layout of bridge." I say, you'll notice that I blew UP the helm. Ops CAN assume helm control, thank you very much. As for the other part, it's a visual reboot, and to paraphrase Jay Fosgitt, "I do what I want".

Does anyone actually like using switch cases/covers besides making it look cute because istg this thing gets in the way more than it's worth

I've been playing Trauma Team and I finally got to the first surgery section and I've been worrying about how it would feel with motion controls, and yeah a laser pointer is always going to be more awkward than a stylus, but my god the tool wheel is so good it might just make up for that.

In Under the Knife, each tool is a button on the touch screen. Simple, intuitive, easy to swap between, no problem. At least I thought there's no problem, until I realized: You have to move the stylus away from the spot your working on. And I realized that's a problem, because you don't have to do that in Trauma Team. And it feels INCREDIBLE.

Being able to laser a spot and then immediately gel it over, without removing my cursor from the spot, is so quick and so smooth and it feels so GOOD! All the switching is controlled by the nunchuk, so it doesn't interfere with your cursor movement at all. You can switch tools while moving your cursor to the next spot, so it basically takes no time at all, you aren't reaching back and forth across the screen over and over.

My only gripe is that they absolutely could have done this for the DS games too, but they just didn't

i wanted to say since theyre putting slightly more focus on donkey kong i hope they port donkey kong jungle beat to the switch but i realized if they do, it will just be the wii remake and not the bongos

I feel so bad for people who willingly stream on twitch/YouTube of a game they’ve never played before, ESPECIALLY if their following is big

Backseating is the scum of the earth. Someone says “hey, please don’t backseat as I’m playing this for the first time and I’m going through it blind and want to figure this out by myself” and they are FLOODED with people in their chat going “go here! do this before you do that! did you know this about the story and lore? did you know you can do this fun thing with the gameplay?!?! Let me willingly hurt this experience for you by telling you everything in advance!!”

Like, what!!! is wrong with you!!! The streamer you’re watching, someone you obviously like, is telling you NICELY to not do this thing, and you deliberately go against that and ruin their enjoyment of the game!! Way to go. You’ve now ruined the experience for not only the streamer, but for hundreds of people because now everyone is pissed at you for saying something you should’ve had the self control to not say

Backseating doesn’t go into the void. You’re speaking to someone. They are reading what you said. And they can’t just… forget about it now that they’ve read or heard it. You’ve just ruined an innocent and blind experience for this person that is trying to have fun and play a game they’ve never played. Well done.

also i don't know if this is like pokemon blasphemy (but given the switch and switch 2) it seems pretty fucking likely, a pokemon ranger game without the touch screen fuckery would be cool too.

As I return to ace attorney fandom stuff it is once again clear to me that I desperately need to play Apollo Justice, but I absolutely don’t want to pay 50 bucks for the collection when I don’t even know if I want to play the other games 😭 what’s a girl to do

There's an episode of that weird Phillip K Dick show where this guy keeps getting yelled at by his wife because he uses the (unlabeled) buttons to turn off holograms and shit instead of the voice controls. "You're so tactile! You neanderthal!"

That show is okay overall but I think about that a lot. I feel like that's me. Tactile interaction with tech is so important to me. I want to press buttons. Please.
