Do you think it's strictly a lack of users, or that the current userbase may have a rather narrow set of interests?

Why wouldn't it?

Thanks for the heads up! I've not played paintball so I didn't know what kinda paint the standard stuff was using, and was mostly thinking about a way to minimize any clean up involved.

Kinda contrary to some of the fun of the game, but everyone likes to play differently.

Thanks for the link, and clear paint didn't occur to me, so that may be a good option too!

This has often come up when I've looked, but every time I read the description (which is what I remember more) it doesn't click.

Appreciate the reply though!

So it’s really just that the battery adds a bit of weight, and someday the thing will fail and maybe cause electrical failure of the gamepad.

Emphasis added, yeah this is among the reasons I'm asking. The other reasons I've noted, but this underlies a lot of it. I don't know how long the dual-use ones' batteries may last if I'm primarily using them wired, so instead of having that in the back of mind, I'd like to get a wired controller for when gaming on devices I'm already close to (which is mostly PC, hence asking for it specifically).

This is a good list, but y'know a niche ya missed? Pressure sensitive buttons, only really useful for those emulating old games that used them, but still a fun feature to remember.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah in hindsight I'm kicking myself for not having gotten one like that, but I had trouble finding wired ones at the time (and didn't think I'd get tired of the battery maintenance), which surprised me.

The cheap part of PowerA controllers is a little of why I asked, as I've not had an opportunity to ask anyone that's used them.

What about one nice comment across posts as well?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You're getting sandwiches for commenting?? ~/s~

What if it was the cops' boss, moonlighting as a pizza shop boss and ultimately as an inept robber?

 

Context:
Thinking about in some stories/shows where they deliver messages attached to arrows and wondering what a non-threatening method might look like.

 

E.g. freelancers, contractors, small businesses, etc.

 

It seems a little odd that other crops have been cultivated to literally suit people's tastes and interests, yet many trees...Seemingly not as much?

I recognize the growth cycles are much longer, in some(many?) cases far exceeding individual human lives, but whole civilizations have been relying on trees for ages. Have none, not even isolated parts of them, been stable enough to take on this experiment?

 

Adjusted question to specify desktop.

 

Also how did you come to learn how to snap your fingers?

 

Wouldn't leasing or renting be more accurate depending on what's involved and the circumstances?

 

I'm specifically interested in this one-on-one style, apart from roguelike/RPG deckbuilding games.

Those are fun too, but a different style.

 

Regardless of how silly the word may seem, please share it! Maybe they can make their way into people's vocab!

 

Today some people evaluate games based on their length (e.g. 30+hours), map size (e.g. 40-60 sq. km), etc., so it made me wonder what metrics people may have used for arcade games.
