@idoccor@RobertDaleSmith I used to use Sugru to do this on my XBox 360 controllers! Mash a load around the thumbsticks and grips to fit my hands and let it set.
@RobertDaleSmith Would be cool if you could grab a piece of clay, scan the indentation with your phone, and 3D print a controller molded to your hands.
@SandyofCthulhu Spoilers. When playing the expansion, Chaos Strikes Back, do *NOT* get your party to go to sleep in the middle of the room where loads of dragons are safely behind bars. @DykaRivers
The first time I actually got scared in a computer game was playing Dungeon Master on my Atari ST (a fine system, eventually killed stone dead by piracy). In the game, I opened a grating, which clanked upwards, and a mummy appeared before me. Cool! I was admiring the mummy, when it suddenly raised its arms and shrieked "Rahr". I was so started I literally dropped my mouse. Before I could regain control the mummy had killed two guys in my party of four, and so I restarted the game.
Dungeon Master also had the feature that the world got darker as your torches burnt out. And darker ... Also, when a new monster showed up it was always a trip. How do I fight it? What does it do? DID THAT TWERP JUST STEAL MY TORCH?!
You had to eat and drink, so finding food & water was always on your mind. What a terrific game. It was real-time, not turn based for another tidbit, and your skills got better by use. You didn't "level up" via experience, which I liked after having played RuneQuest and designing Call of Cthulhu.
Finally, it had the best underlying magic system OF ANY GAME ever and it's not close. I include tabletop roleplaying games.
This game was so far beyond anything I'd seen before that time. 1987.
Zohran Mamdani: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."
Greta Van Fleet claiming not to have heard Led Zeppelin when developing their sound is either the most bare faced lie or biggest coincidence in music history. I'll let you decide which
Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍
After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires.
Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.
As most of you know, I work for a Mackem based organisation.
I got called into a meeting this morning and they’ve told me I face disciplinary action if I tweet about #NUFC 🖤🤍🖤🤍 as I should be loyal to #SAFC
Gutted 😢
Thanks for the laughs over the years lads and lasses x
