Decker you should be proud of me, I using the controller without grips. Maybe I’m cured. Um, maybe not. But I do have ones on the way, but I may just return them. The controller feels smaller than the rest and thus easier to hold on to.

y’all are so irritated at OldBoy but I’m loving this. He’s like a middle aged dad setting up his first computer in the 90’s. It’s very entertaining.

I’m thoroughly impressed that you were able to buy a third party controller, make an assessment of that, buy the pro controller, buy grips, and then decide you don’t need the grips all in the span of like 5 mins.

He's made me cut my video game spending to almost zero. The more he spends the more I avoid spending He just bought enough games for both of us for a year so I think I'm good also.

I feel like I'm crazy, doesn't this post say he put grips on them already?

^ i meant i put them on the other, cheaper controller that wasn't the Nintendo Pro controller.

you're quite welcome. glad i could help Gator.

i bought both controllers because the Pro wasn't supposed to ship before i would get the Switch, so i boguht a cheaper version that sucked compared to Pro. put grips on the older one, took them off and then returned the controller. and I'm far from irritated and far from middle aged.

I call bullshit on anyone on this forum being far from middle aged.

Hey, he could be near 70 or older... you never know.

ok, maybe not far, but less than most and more than some.

Let's just state numbers. I'll start, I'm 46.

How’s Ocarina of Time on Switch? Never happened to get around to it on GameCube, even though I have the limited edition disc or something. Do the games from the older systems have saves and all that?

OMG, why not just play the dozen+ new Switch games you just bought?

i was just asking. i always wanted to play it and never have. now, i can and was just curious.

I've already started Metroid Prime Remaster.

As my username would clue you in on, I turned 50 this year. (I was 25 when I joined DVDTalk. Half of my life I’ve been a member here.)

I was 22, I've spent over half my life here

No saves. They expect you to play through a 40 hour game straight through. Do you ever think about the questions you ask before you post them?

No, this has been their schtick for over a decade. Ask some of the dumbest questions, or ones that are so easy to find yourself via a Google search. They need handholding for way, way too much, and can be awfully insistent if people don't answer their questions.

I used to help and answer questions because I thought I was helping. I was just enabling their learned helplessness though. Then I'd answer some questions if I thought others might want to know. Then I'd answer after they asked the 3rd time with no response just to shut them up. But it's all so tiring, so I gave up.

Jay G. Thanks for your feedback and reminder, and yes, we’ve been around long enough that we all try to understand OldBoy and his inquisitive nature, and like you, have chosen to either disengage or chip in when we feel it’s relevant.

At this point (since no one new ever comes into this subforum), we don’t need a constant reminder.

If these threads become a “stream of consciousness” for the poster, so be it.

I am here for ... reasons ...
I won't say my age, but I'll say I bought a PS4 Pro some years ago so my kid and I could play Minecraft solely in creative mode, which we no longer play. I have a Garfield Cart (Kart?) game that we played a few times, and the NBA 2k with Lillard, a Madden of about the same era, and an NHL game also of the same era, still unwrapped, and none of them ever 'played' otherwise. (All the games except Minecraft were purchased off the sale rack at Fred Meyer.) So, yeah, I half-heartedly tried to be in the world of games. But I'm not, and that's OK!

Are the games I have, but haven't played, any good?

I'm done.

Until the next deal?

I'm just givin' you the business, Oldboy. Hope you had a good thanksgiving!

I didn't say you were irritating. That people were irritated at you.

??

With what? Metroid? The Switch? Adding grips to your controllers? Using DVDTalk as google?

You're free week is over right? So what did you play? What did you like? General thoughts?
