Ok sure, what do you want them to do instead then? 80% of their income is reliant on a tech giant’s grace and is seemingly more and more likely to be cutoff soon. They need to survive somehow, and every monetised service they tried flopped thusfar.
I mean, first off, a lot of you are focusing on the right side joystick but it’s completely irrelevant since it’s the same position for both, I was just using it as an explanation why it makes sense for it to be assymetrical on the Xbox controller. I personally only play non FPS games with a controller so for me it’s the majority, but I understand that maybe most games played with controllers today are FPS or use the right joystick more than the left. But, again, that wasn’t really the main argument nor the point.
But second, idk man but how is your natural hand position such that it’s easier to reach the PlayStation left joystick instead of the Xbox left joystick? When I look at my hand in a resting position, the thumb is right over where the joystick would be on the Xbox controller. The only type of game where the PlayStation layout would be superior when looking at that element is one where you mostly use the Dpad, like a fighting game.
I don’t have a PlayStation controller with me right now, so maybe the body is differently shaped as to make the bottom joysticks the natural thumb positions unlike on the Xbox one, but on the Xbox controller your natural thumb resting position is definitely the top row.
I mean, except for OCD, I don’t see it being symmetrical as important. It’s basically saying that you’d rather have something less optimal just so that it’s equally worse on both sides, instead of it being better on one side and worse on the other.
Okay but there’s no difference on the right half of the controller? Both layouts have the aim stick in the same place.
In most games it’s the opposite. Most of the time by far you’re gonna be having your left thumb on the left joystick and right thumb on the buttons, not the right joystick. The positions those are in on the Xbox style controller are the natural positions for your hand and your thumbs are positioned symmetrically. On the PlayStation style, your left thumb is always forced to be in an unnatural position.
Ok so it’s basically certain then that the leaked codenames for new Valve hardware are gonna be VR related (guessing a new headset). They even confirmed that a new SteamDeck isn’t going to be released any time soon.
From what I’ve heard (take this with a huge grain of salt) is that the posts themselves shouldn’t take up much of your storage. The biggest thing that could take up your storage are images, but they are only stored on the instances where the community in which they were posted in is.
