  • Not OP, but I used Xbox controllers for a long time. I kept breaking them (I have gorilla grip problem), so I got an Xbox pro because I didn’t like how the ps3 or ps4 controllers were laid out. I broke the pro controller.

    I’ve switched to a ps5 controller and aside from getting re-used to the button names, it’s been really nice. Super comfy and is holding up really well. I miss some things on my pro controller, but so far this is great.

    In all of that,I did use the OG steam controller for a while too and I loved that one, but my hands were too small for some functions, so I couldn’t keep using it.

    An 8bitdo controller is next on my list after the ps5 maybe breaks, as I’ve heard very good things.







  • Personally, I played a whole bunch of demos.

    Far Far West was a lot of fun, especially with friends. It needs some tweaks, for sure, but we played for a solid several hours just having fun.

    Dobbel Dungeon was one that I immediately bought upon finishing the demo. It’s an adorable style, but I feel like the tactics are fairly deep? I’ve put in a handful of hours into it and am still rather enjoying it.

    Hozy was another demo I really enjoyed. It’s like Unpacking meets House Flipper, kinda. Very cozy, feels good to play.

    Vampire Survivors card game was also fun, but I’m not entirely sold on it yet. It feels like it needs maybe a little more work.

    Loot -something? I’ve forgotten the title, but it’s similar to slay the spire and then resident evil 4’s loot system. Everything has to fit within your backpack, some items have bonuses to specific things. I had a helmet that would give thorns bonuses to adjacent plate armor, for example. Very interesting concept and I was having a lot of fun organizing my inventory. But similar to vampire Survivors, I felt as if it was lacking chew. But maybe I am comparing it too closely to slay the spire?

    In any case, I had a lot of fun. It seems like this year will be a good one for games. :]
