This just unlocked a memory of running a PS2 controller extension cable to use on the toilet πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜†

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

These were the best damn controllers.

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

Carpet in the bathroom? Bold choice

You've never heard of bathmats? They're fairly common worldwide.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Worldwide? Never seen in my life even in media.

Yes? And how prominently do bathroom floors feature in the media you consume? It's not like this is some outlandish concept lmao

The good old days.

When that door is closed, you're forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.

Helps increase the pleasure.

You say "forced to", he says "able to" 🀷

Ok but playing a game through a mirror would be hard af

[–] z500@startrek.website 52 points 1 day ago

Solution: play through two mirrors

Controller settings: Reverse X Axis.

Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 4 points 10 hours ago

There are quite a lot of GameCube games that let you invert the camera controls. But I'm not aware of any that would let you invert the left analog stick

Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.

Bathroom design advice: don’t hang mirrors facing toilets.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

Unless you're into that shit, pun intended..

My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 3 points 10 hours ago

For those that don't care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

As someone who’s currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

I generally nut ropes, but mad props to a man who can nut logs
