Whenever I see footage from someone playing a console FPS it all looks so... stilted and unnatural

Why aren't you looking where you're going? Why don't you look around, why can you only look around in large sections... oh right, controller

GnomeSlice

13:00

I do like that playing on a controller gives you better control over your movement

Elva

Strafing wise yeah I suppose

RedRiderX

The true solution is the classic dual joystick setup.

Every fps should have the flexibility and maneuverability of a giant mech.

Unionhawk

what would yaw controls do

GnomeSlice

It's like... Since playing overwatch on PC I don't think I can go back to console but I've played tons of console shooters over the years so I guess I just have a lot of practice... The controller layout is a bit too slow for overwatch though

RedRiderX

@Unionhawk Let you peek around corners of course

GnomeSlice

13:02

Titanfall 2 is probably the fastest shooter I excelled at with a controller scheme

Memor-X

@Unionhawk junk meta data i assumne

RedRiderX

Yeah I totally get the advantages of both schemes

But I play Destiny with the mouse in Doom with a controller so maybe I'm just weird

Nzall

@GnomeSlice That's because Titanfall 2 is not exactly an FPS and more a platformer with FPS gameplay

And platformers are much easier to play with controllers

Unionhawk

@Memor-X I found it, the resolution on it is apparently 1024x1024px

GnomeSlice

@Nzall interesting. Good point

@RedRiderX Actually yeah doom is pretty fast too

I tried playing Warframe with a controller a bit and mouse and keyboard is just way better to me

RedRiderX

13:09

To be fair the main reason I played Doom with a controller was because it was on Xbox game pass.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Yeah, I usually use a controller for vehicle parts and m+k for on-foot

Also

Memor-X

@Ave hopefully you get the decision overturned because that sounds messed up

Unionhawk

(it's also just inexplicably on the same engine still)

Nzall

Yeah, Bethesda is a decent publisher, but their stubborn insistence on using a dated engine for their own games is really disrupting their games

Unionhawk

13:26

At least half of that joke will definitely happen though

skyrim will absolutely be ported to ps5 and whatever the heck xbox two is actually called

Nzall

@Unionhawk It's essentially a "ship of theseus" engine where they replaced pretty much every part of their engine

Unionhawk

this is just where we live now

I wish more games supported controller + mouse.

do you use the mouse for quicker menu or aiming

Yuuki

Mouse for better aiming.

I like the analog stick for movement more than WASD.

Wipqozn

@fredley @TimStone @GodEmperorDune I'm so excited to watch the new misery horse episodes

Yuuki

Plus certain games have radial menus, which I find more accessible with a controller.

Elva

14:07

@Yuuki that's because those radial menus are directly ported from the console version

FoxMcCloud

interesting i never thought to do that. do you have to mount the controller to keep it from moving while using one hand?

Elva

need no, would it work better? Probably

Could just have a sawn in half controller on a stand or something

RedRiderX

@Nzall It was on the xbox before the keyboard support was added.

But even still keyboard support is very very limited

This morning I got a phone call from another parent who let me know her daughter's been attacked twice so far by the same kid who attacked my son, and she was literally having a meeting with the school the morning before my son was attacked where they told her they "take it very seriously" and "are taking precautions"

so...

Tim Stone

I just checked out the backstory on this and holy hell, while I can appreciate not exactly punishing the other kid if that's the case that's also like, definitely not okay for everyone else?

Them just shrugging it off seems extremely inappropriate

Frank

@TimStone If nothing else, the school needs to push back on the kid's parents to help curb the behaviour.

This is a failure, at the very least, of the school.

Tim Stone

Seriously

Frank

Sucks to hear about such a situation, @Sterno. I hope you manage to come to a resolution with the school.

From what I understand, if the school can't or won't help, you should go above them to the superintendent.

Sterno

From what reading I've done, when the aggressor has a disability, it's really hard for the typical response of "get this kid out of school then" to actually be done

I'm trying to get a meeting with the Student Services director to find out as much as I can

It's incredibly frustrating that they are as vague as possible so then you end up relying on a 5-year-olds version of events to figure out what's going on

In other news, The Outer Worlds is good stuff

Mage Xy

14:49

@Sterno Which is just dumb. A student is endangering other students; either fix his behavior, or he has to go. Mental condition should not even enter into the picture other than when trying to figure out how to help the student.

Tim Stone

@Sterno Yeah, it seems like even without removing the child from the classroom they at least seem to have too much opportunity to actually harm other children?

Sterno

We're worried what happens if one of these times the kid is holding a pencil or scissors

Tim Stone

So someone who knows how to properly deal with the kid needs to be available to intervene

Sterno

The level of detail I have received thus far is " all of our staff is implementing precautionary measures to prevent these incidents from happening, as well as a plan to keep others safe if it does occur."

Tim Stone

Extremely Reassuring Hand Waving

Well, hopefully you'll find out more, I'd definitely be concerned too

Mage Xy

14:54

My experience doesn't really compare to what your son went through, but when I was in grade school there was one kid who had some mental disability. Normally he was okay, but he had some really bizarre quirks.

The one that aggravated people the most was that during lunch, he'd see other people's food that he thought smelled good, and then walked over and stuck his entire face into it. Especially common if you were eating pizza from the cafeteria. Obviously people didn't like eating food with this kid's facial oils, so a lot of it just got thrown out. There were so. many. complaints. But the school board didn't want to "persecute" someone with his condition, so he got away with it for years.

I can understand a school's hesitation to punish people with disabilities of any kind, but there needs to be a line in the sand for all students, even the challenged ones. I'd definitely say physical violence is across that line.

@Unionhawk It's included in Xbox Game pass on PC and Xbox, and considering PC is like what, 4 EUR...

One problem thus far: during character creation, you can't click the next button, you need to press the E button

which is annoying since that's the only thing you need the keyboard for

RedRiderX

@Nzall Yeah Game Pass on PC is a little janky with that.

I get an email every time I start a new game

Nzall

SO MANY SLIDERS! I feel like I'm in a hamburger joint. Couldn't they at least have done the basic "show colors as examples instead of a slider"?

Hmm, you can give female characters facial hair

RedRiderX

Nzall

This is annoying. My mouse cursor is randomly disappearing off the screen

Like, one moment it's there, and the next it vanishes without me moving it

RedRiderX

19:32

Although I found it a little silly that they obviously didn't want to make two facial stamp layers so they smashed together makeup and wounds in one slider

Nzall

I also feel like they could have sorted the various skin colors better. It goes from light to dark in 5 levels, then suddenly goes to light again to do another 5 climbs to dark, then back to light

also, is it me, or is there no meaningful difference between of those 3 or 4 darkest skin tones?
