Perfect. I've always thought the biggest problem with my Xbox controller is that it's too easy for its speed and heading to be ascertained by U-boats.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

this is a deep cut joke for very specific enthusiasts of 1910s experimental naval warfare

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

This is hexbear, whatever life choices led any of us here definitely included learning about dazzle camoflage

[-] context@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

i mean i learned about the 1910s experimental naval warfare at the same time as reading about the effectiveness of different techniques for confounding facial recognition

and it works for the xbox controller, too. i can't tell who it is!

Is it because homophobia or because it's a migraine-inducing aesthetic eyesore?

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago
[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I do too but not gonna give Corp money for it, if I saw that hand painted or something hell yeah it kind of slaps

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 42 points 2 months ago

Homophobes are so ridiculous. This is the quietest, most personal expression of Pride I could imagine and they're still offended by it...

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They'd make for ideal superstitious peasants.

"What is this symbol of Moorish devilry?"

"John it's a horseshoe."

"That is the crescent of the Mohammadan!"

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 34 points 2 months ago

Thats hideous... that design is bordering on homophobic 😭

[-] Omniraptor@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago

nah, it has a certain neurodivergent je ne sais quoi. I really like it

[-] hello_hello@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

My thoughts exactly. Why couldn't they just make a trans flag colored controller, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

because they're trying to appeal to more queer people in a cynical attempt to dive into our wallets

it's ok though it still looks cool

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

I have this controller and everyone who sees it in person thinks it's dope. It's a really chaotic design, but it works way better in person than it does in images.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

White background and head-on lighting washing out the colors probably aren't doing it any favors in this image

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Yeah. In person, it's really fun and looks great in hand or on the coffee table.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

Dazzle paint reduces the contrast of the controller when viewed from the surface or the air from its surroundings as well as the contrast of one section of the controller from another

[-] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Honestly I like how it looks but I'm also the one sporting all the eye searing animated rainbow dyes in Terraria

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

That’s pretty snazzy.

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Ah, brings back memories as someone who was perpetually player 2. For me it was always the clear blue madcatz or a Logitech with massive stick drift. At least when I was at my cousin's we took turns with the good controller lol

[-] HexBeara@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I mean sometimes the mad cats slapped hard and WERE the good controller, being able to set a button to turbo instead of having to rapidly button mash. I remember it would suck depending on the car for burnout revenge when you were trying to cause as big of an accident (tapping that B button to splode[Xbox]) as possible, but would be fine for enter the matrix for the pew pews, I'm sure it'd be fine for other games too just didn't have many.

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

ah yes because a too brightly colored gay controller is definitely equivalent to one that is nonfunctional /s

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago
[-] RION@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

i'm sorry but that looks like dogwater. way too busy and confused

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

you can have your opinion but I want you to know that as long as you phrase it as objective it's wrong

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Proud G*mer not afraid to stand up to the gays ruining HIS games.

[-] HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago

Does it come in DualShock 3?

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

If a "friend" walks into my house and wants to torch my whole place after seeing this controller, I'll make sure to dump their body in another town.

[-] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Whenever I look at an xbox controller I feel like it was designed FOR american hands, I cannot see my thumbs on those analogs

[-] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

Our hands evolved like giraffe necks so that we could wield triple patty burgers

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

I think this controller is rad and it's twice as rad if it annoys gamers

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I bet it costs $140 and isn't even hall effect. I'd totally buy it if it was gulikit though.

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

It will develop some problem after exactly 16 months of medium usage and fixing it will involve soldering or plastic cement of some form.

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

and are we really pretending this wouldn't happen with every Xbox controller

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

That's why the joke is being made. Xbox controllers have no durability and potentiometers found on the side of the rode.

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I'm criticizing it being an XBOX controller and not the skin, yeah. I hate XB1/series controllers for how poorly they're built.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

In the communist dystopia we seek to attain, if somebody made a post like that they would be shot in the head by the GayGB within twenty minutes.

[-] casskaydee@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

:waow-based:

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

in todays episode of things that only become talked about because rejecting them is a way to tacitly endorse bigotry

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

if you react to this controller violently:

  1. look at the OP the person responded to. they've got the Palestine flag and the reply guy doesn't, meaning the OP is immediately more trustworthy. Ask yourself why an explicit comrade person would have the opinion they have, and why the person who isn't would have theirs.

  2. Ask yourself if you would react the same way to any other shitty controller.

  3. If you wouldn't, kindly gamer-gulag yourself until you stop falling for sacrificial trash

  4. The actual OP is right and the controller goes super fucking hard. They should have paid that artist more money.

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

I didn't even realize it was a pride controller at first. People worried about Xbox controller art are idiots.

[-] Saganaki@lemmy.one 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This would only be an acceptable response if it was a MadKatz controller. The coloring doesn't matter.

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

That controller is the kind if garish I can get behind.

Can you use these things as general-purpose Bluetooth controllers?

[-] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

Since the Xbox One, yeah. I've never owned an Xbox but I've had several of the controllers just because they're the kind you can get with paddles on the back. I installed Linux without any planning or thought and to my surprise it just worked even outside Windows

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Nice. Rainbow capitalism might claim me as a casualty soon then.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Love the flag, looks like shit on the controller

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

you can have your opinion but I want you to know that as long as you phrase it as objective it's wrong

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Doing the same thing except because it's got poor build quality and they should have bought an 8bitdo controller with hall effect sticks for equal or less price.
