"I am not a fan boy or anything, I run Linux" damn

@Ferkiwi 3 года назад

This makes a lot of sense, even out of context. I don't think you can be called a fan boy for something that is free (as in freedom). To me "fan boy" implies simping for a person or a corporation, to the point they can take advantage and sell you stuff you wouldn't buy if made by someone else. Linux isn't the product of a company, nor is there a single version of Linux, the license prevents it from being owned by anyone.

@n0vi 3 года назад

@@Ferkiwi The state of this reach

@kaldo_kaldo 3 года назад

@@Ferkiwi You can definitely be a fanboy of something free. You can be a Linux fanboy. A Linux fanboy would use Linux even if another platform would be better suited for it - like playing games. If you're building a PC for gaming, it should pretty much definitely be Windows. Or you can dual boot to have Linux for your non-gaming stuff and Windows for games. If you go full Linux, well, you just might be a fanboy cause while it's improving it still isn't there yet.

@Ferkiwi 3 года назад

@@kaldo_kaldo I guess we have different definitions of "fanboy". To me it'd be weird to say "fanboy of the color yellow" or "fanboy of computer tech"... it needs to apply to a company (eg. Apple, Microsoft) or a company IP (eg. Xbox, Playstation), a band/group of people (eg. the Beatles), or a specific person. Rather than just being fan of a generic concept. To me what you describe could be called a Linux "freak" / "geek" / "obsessed", but I wouldn't say that would be a fanboy since there's no IP ownership attached to FOSS. It's the difference between someone who is a sucker for AMD (fanboy) and someone who is just so obsessed with APU technology that he might use an APU even for cases where getting a dedicated CPU & GPU might work better cause APU tech "still isn't there yet". You can be an "Ubuntu fanboy", or a "Debian fanboy", because those are Linux companies or organizations and being a fan of those groups trascends technical or moral preferences.. but "Linux fanboy" is more of a technical preference that's independent of any company/organization so it doesn't have the same meaning.

I've had the Pro2 for a few months now; basically since 8bitDo released it, and it's been a great controller. Runs forever on charge, runs while plugged in, configurable button layout, has some heft to it(probably all that battery) and takes my shoving the sticks around with no issues.

@syncVince 3 года назад

I bought the Pro+ in November and I'm using the controller ever since on an almost daily basis. I don't have much experience with gamepads, but I really like this one. It doesn't have the highest of qualities (e.g. dead skin can get trapped in many gaps and the phone stand doesn't really work for me), but I've really liked everything else (for example the battery that gets low only after 20hrs of use). I don't feel the need to upgrade to the Pro2, but I think that everyone who buys it will make a very good purchase. Btw you can even ask 8BitDo to send you replacement parts if something gets broken.

This is an example of a person doing what they simply were born to do. Everyone is born to do something but most people either never discover it or if they do they prioritize making money and therefore only do it sometimes. So it’s so inspiring seeing someone who is just being completely true to themselves

Grabbed my 8bitdo Pro today in the PS1 style for playing on PC w game pass and I’m truly in love. I’m coming from a ps4 controller and it feels incredibly similar but somehow more comfortable. I think the claim that it’s for retro games is just projecting because that’s what he sees in it. I played Star Wars Jedi order and forza for some hours today and had a blast. This controller is definitely on par for any kind of gaming. The back buttons are a plus as well. I’d say if you’ve been thinking about it just get it you’ll probably love it. I grew up on PlayStations since ps1 and this feels right at home.

I have the prévios model, called sn30 pro plus, and I love it. It fixes all the problems I had with the DS4. The battery life is out of this world, about 20h. The grip in my hand and opinion is a bit better than the DS4. The software is great. I have the same complaint as Anthony regarding the remapping limitations, but it is what it is. My only real complaint is the start button on my unit. I don't know if I got a faulty unit, but the start button more often than not gets jammed when I push it down. It's very easy to unjam, just pressing it again does it, but I kinda expected a better quality. All the other buttons work flawlessly.

Caveat: I don't play competitive shooters so I have no opinion on performance in those settings.

I love my 8bitdo Pro (non plus controller) if I was gonna use a bigger controller I'd use my Playstation or Xbox controller. The 8Bitdo feels perfect for sidescrollers and action games, retro or not. I'm 35 and originally started with an SNES and my cousins Sega Genesis as a kid and in my opinion the dpad on my 8bitdo is excellent. I don't feel any misses or slow response. The right thumbstick is harder to control as Anthony pointed out in the software. The range isn't perfect but as long as I'm not playing a shooter which I've tried, I'm happy with it.

It's really a shame the Xbox controller doesn't support gyro/have back paddles. It is one of the most ergonomic controllers, but I hate the feeling of aim assist. Gyroscope is the best bet for the console/controller industry to move past it, and it feels so responsive. Comparable to K&M when set well.
