why don't they do detents in analog sticks anymore? only nintendo ever did them to begin with but it was nice
-F
@Felthry they're nice for some genres but honestly a huge detriment for games where aiming and shooting at things is a core mechanic; if something isn't in a 45 degree increment direction from where your crosshair is, it's actually bad to have the stick guide toward those 45 degree increments
@sharkNserg They're generally pretty nice for the sorts of games we play, so I guess it just didn't occur to us that they might not be for other types!

@Felthry the octagon gate is sorely missed in Smash Bros for me, weh
@sharkNserg I think every smash bros since melee except the 3ds one supports gamecube controllers, right?
-F
@sharkNserg gamecube controllers are possibly the best controllers that have been made and i don't know why they don't use similar designs anymore
-F
@Felthry they're certainly great for games designed around them, but using them for shooters or for traditional fighting games is really miserable, weh
@sharkNserg yeah i guess what nintendo does now where you can use one but don't need to is probably the best way to do it (if you plug in the adapter for anything that doesn''t explicitly support it, it'll show up as a switch pro controller)
-F
@Felthry I wonder if the Switch version of Rivals of Aether recognizes them?
@sharkNserg if you have it, give it a try!

@Felthry they dooo, I sometimes end up in a situation where I gotta play with something else though and it's certainly not preferred
