Who says I’m upset?

You’re the one who is butthurt because you don’t think that valve did good enough by your standards.

The flaw in your comparison, especially with any wired controllers is that they basically didn’t have firmware. At all.

Meanwhile, the og steam controller didn’t even have an associated console.

So the comparison I’m going to draw from this, since people update their computers… Is that it’s a bit like asking Xbox 360 controllers to interoperate with the Xbox series x…

The controller gets left behind while the hardware it is supposed to attach to, morphs into something entirely different.

I don’t see PlayStation controller ports (from the og PlayStation era) on PS4s. So why are we bitching about steam controllers when Sony won’t continue to support the og PlayStation controllers on the PS4…

The fuck are we even talking about anymore?

Can you hear yourself?

You mean the one that was released in 2015, and they stopped selling in 2019, then continued to support for at least four more years?

That’s the one?

And we compare that to what? Can I get support on my Xbox 360 wireless controllers still? How about my dual shock controller for a PS3? Google surely still updates the stadia controller, right? They didn’t give up on it less than a year after the stadia service was taken down… Right?

With the exception of maybe 8bitdo or something, their support for that controller was extremely good, and the fact that they made it 10 years ago, and stopped selling it 6 years ago, but only stopped supporting it 2 years ago, that’s pretty good, IMO.

Exactly right. And this is driving my point. There are options. If you don’t like one option, try something else.

Pretty much every controller design has positives and negatives that change depending on who is using the controller. I enjoy the xbox one/series controllers for the most part, and they’re fairly reliable and my usual go to. I also have a dual shock somewhere that I don’t really use, and a stadia controller that was patched to work with anything, which gets more action than the dual shock, but not nearly as much as the Xbox controllers.

I usually play with kb/mouse, so controllers are already pretty rare in my gaming experience, but they make an appearance from time to time.

With these new steam controllers, I might see a good reason to use a controller more frequently… Especially if I can afford the $900+ that the steam machine will probably cost… They said it would be “competitively” priced in relation to PCs, not consoles. So I’m expecting $900+ right now. Time to start saving.

Good luck.

You’re probably right.

I keep applying!

I have yet to get a call…

Well, I meant it as a joke, but if you insist.

Well, that was the point.

You always have to complete your work. Anything less will result in unemployment.

But the employment contract probably doesn’t say how fast you need to complete your work.

If you’re done early, take a break and scroll on your phone for a couple hours, then send in your completed work at the end of the day. No need to tell anyone you’re finished, just go about your day looking busy.

Oh. So you’ve become the enemy.

It’s nice that you outed yourself like that.

There used to be loyalty in business. Then they realized what a mistake that was.

You owe your employer nothing more than what’s legally agreed upon in your employment contract.

If they ask for more, your response without hesitation should be “fuck you, pay me”.

Don’t do anything for these fucks, for free.

This. Right here.

It generally doesn’t pay any better than just scraping by with minimum effort.

Also, it really does pay to be a hard worker, it’s just someone else that is getting paid for your hard work.

As long as we don’t end up going over the waterfall, that should be fine.

I get hate mail if my total time entered is less than 9 whole assed hours.

They want to know when I take a shit for fucks sake. What are they going to do, reprimand me if I take 20 minutes to take a dump?

“What were you doing that entire time?”

“Taking a shit”

“It doesn’t take 20 minutes to take a shit”

“Maybe for you”

…

I can’t afford that either.

Welcome to the club. Were you able to afford the fixer upper on your own, or did you need to split the financial burden with another person?

Welcome to the club.

What percentage of your income now goes to your mortgage payment? For me, it’s like 110%… But I have help, so my share is only like 35%

No. But it generally keeps the lights on, and I like lights.

Yeah, the market only cares about the maximum that people will pay for it. You’re not offering the maximum, so you’re not important enough for the market forces to care about.

I’m not either, so… We’re in this boat together. You want to row on the starboard side? Or port?
