The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

It depends on what you listen to.

Well, ASMR.

Intresting thing happened at work.
I looked up and the team I work with at the moment was missing. I looked for them and saw them in the conference room. I grabbed a pad confused as to why I hadn’t been told. I went in. My current supervisor said to me: It’s okay you don’t need to be here I’m just chewing the team out. Your great though.
Me: Alright. [I left and went back to work]
They were in there for 30 minutes…
Monday though: I’m on a different team, doing something far more detail oriented. Woot.

How many deadly looks from the team did you get for that?

I didn’t pay attention. I don’t care if they hate me for doing my job. I’ll still be civil and polite.

RIP my XBOX 360 wired controller. After 5 years of service it died today.

Any idea on what you’re replacing it with? iirc the PS4 controller works as a standard gamepad

I was actually planning on replacing it with a PS4 controller. I just thought I had a little longer.

that it does, DS4 is great its also bluetooth so you don’t have to deal with having an extra dongle for wireless which is a plus.

Those controller were not meant for long time use. Was not uncommon for people to go through 1-2 a year because a button broke, the grib wore off, etc

My Xbone One controller lasted six months before I had to toss it.

@wolfleben if you get the PS4 controller and need to Xinput emulation for certain games this software works great for that.

On an aside I read Ready Player One when it first came out. I thought it was pretentious. I have no plans to ever see the film.

i still have my original xbox 360 wireless controllers that came with the white, shitty model when that first came out… they work well enough still lol. so… like 10-12 years old now. somehow are alive still.
my wired xbox 360 controllers have been hit or miss though. the one i have I’m pretty sure is dying after 2 years, the other works fine after 6 so?

the wireless controllers were fairly good. I still have mine. Its the wired controllers people had issues with. What happens when the wired model is $20 cheaper XD

the wired ones can be good, can just… die.
at least the ones i’ve had are like that.
It’s almost like they didn’t do long term testing on them…
:stuck_out_tongue:

in any case after they switched to the Slim xbox it got better controllers and all that wise.
better

i still hate the Xbone controller.

PS4 I just can’t deal with the differences on. they seem OK i guess but never played on playstation so yeahhh
