Controllers are good for FPS games, especially on PC, and we have to stop pretending like they’re not (sh.itjust.works)
 

Every time someone brings up a controller vs mouse and keyboard, most of if not all comments will push towards the OP to “switch to mouse and keyboard” because “it’s better!”

In my eyes, the person is already accustomed to controller, they’re used to the sensitivity, and if not it’s a quick change.

If they’re going to get used to mouse and keyboard they need to:

  • find a reasonable mouse

  • find a reasonable mousepad for their situation

  • find out if they’re a wrist aimer or an arm aimer

  • make sure their windows mouse sensitivity is set to 6/11 for some reason otherwise everything else will be messed up

  • find their “optimal sensitivity” many of which tutorials are (subjectively) hard to find (the good ones)

I’m both a controller and mouse and keyboard user but I find it easier to aim with a controller. It feels natural.

Passing on the right on a highway (sh.itjust.works)
 

Why is it illegal to pass someone on the right on the highway in the US? In Canada if there’s a three lane highway which, in my case, isn’t very prominent, there’s really no law that enforces it, it’s more of a respect thing here on two lane highways both ways if someone is going slow in the left lane to go into the right but I’m just curious as to why it’s actually enforced in the US?

When you replay older Pokémon games, how do you like to play them? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’ll be using gen 4 and below as older since that’s what I’m used to,

I have Platinum and Emerald and I’ve been wanting to play through them to get to the end game to play the battle tower or equivalent since their online servers are shut down (or non existent with the GBA)

I guess I’m just looking for tips and a discussion as to how everyone plays their Pokémon game. I find that whenever I play through any Pokémon game, with the exp. share shared or not, I always over level one Pokémon. Not too much, at least not as bad as when I was a kid, but in my emerald game it got to the point where I had a grovyle in the second gym and my other three Pokémon were level 10 below. How do you maintain a balance? Again, I’m not a new player, I’ve been playing Pokémon for almost all my life and I’m 24, however I’ve always been bad at party management type games and I’ve been wanting your opinions/discussions on this topic.

I never do, in fact I'm really surprised that a forum that's supposedly all about privacy doesn't offer something as simple as hiding profiles.

Oh trust me, if you do look through mine (which I also don't see the point of) you won't find much, just me talking shit about android apps

If you just browse through your home feed, sure. But actively going out of your way to see someone's comment or post history because you don't agree with what they said is childish and frankly a bit concerning. It really shows your character.

Third party Reddit apps just got canned. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was permanently banned from Reddit for saying something about Robin Hobb's series Assassin Apprentice that it was gay and had a non-binary character, proceeding to say I'd never finish it because of that.

Or I've seen countless people get banned from Reddit saying to keep the kids out of the lgbt stuff.

I remember saying before I got banned that I didn't really agree with pride, mainly because international men's day is also in June and ever since pride was a thing, that's been glossed over. So I was upset about it and I remember I got a lot of hateful comments for even bringing it up.

Personal opinions, like my city's take on safe drug usage to lgbt stances that I don't agree with

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority but it doesn't make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It's functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I'm upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let's be real: nobody's really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I'm going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I'll use them side by side.

It's kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I've been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it's "federated" doesn't mean you can't say whatever you want. It just means it's not owned by anyone in particular.
