    Now i kinda want a third person shooter (not sim) where you have to manually manage ammo in real time, in environments where you can be flanked.

    I could see the following scenario playing out:

    > you’ve got an AR of some kind, low on ammo, no backup gun, no backup mag

    > in the middle of a firefight

    > see an ammo crate

    > waste your last few bullets blind firing while running to ammo

    > pull out a box of bullets and sit down next to the crate

    > bullets whizz past and you only manage to load one bullet into your mag before:

    > “he’s reloading!”

    > one guy sprinting at you from around the corner

    > double tap the reload button to feed a single bullet into the chamber, and cycle.

    > tap cancel button to quit reloading and stand up

    > tap cancel again to enter “oh shit oh fuckin sh-” mode

    > character drops the mag, grabs a handful of bullets from the box and shoves them into their pocket

    > fire > miss

    > reload while running back to cover

    > you trip on a rock

    > you drop your gun and all the bullets spill out onto the floor

    > the enemies surround you

    > they start pointing at you and laughing

    > “what a loser, get a load of this enemy combatant”

    > they capture you

    > you spend the next three days as a prisoner manually reloading the magazines which will be used to kill your comrades

    > if you’re too slow they’ll slap you and call you mean names in a foreign language











  • Alright homies, listen up:

    Stick drift is easy to fix. Once you do it right you can reliably fix it every time.

    Buy a few replacement modules (don’t worry, no soldering is required). They usually come with the crappy torx screwdrivers needed to disassemble most modern controllers.

    As far as I know, virtually every controller uses these modules, except for hall-effect modules, and the weird slidey analog pads Nintendo use.

    You see the 2 green sides? You can pull them outwards to access the pads.

    Simply swap the pads out (you’ll need tweezers) and push the green face plate back onto the component.

    Done!

    Don’t spend a fortune on a new controller when you can fix it for under $10.

    Look at the old pads, you’ll normally see some very obvious discolouration which points to moisture damage, stretched springs from frequent use, or cum from poor hygiene.
