[...] why would anyone even want it when it won’t even federate with anyone [...]

Federation isn't always seen as a positive (see: discussions linked on fedibridge complaining, without realizing it sometimes, of certain instances' people) for those aware of it, and for many more it's just not even a factor they consider.

But also bleh about the search, wasn't aware of that.

Oh ick, thanks for the link!

How'd Disqus ruin itself? Realizing now I've seen it less and less like you mention, but never saw much talk of what happened.

Do you think it's strictly a lack of users, or that the current userbase may have a rather narrow set of interests?

Why wouldn't it?

Thanks for the heads up! I've not played paintball so I didn't know what kinda paint the standard stuff was using, and was mostly thinking about a way to minimize any clean up involved.

Kinda contrary to some of the fun of the game, but everyone likes to play differently.

Thanks for the link, and clear paint didn't occur to me, so that may be a good option too!

This has often come up when I've looked, but every time I read the description (which is what I remember more) it doesn't click.

Appreciate the reply though!

So it’s really just that the battery adds a bit of weight, and someday the thing will fail and maybe cause electrical failure of the gamepad.

Emphasis added, yeah this is among the reasons I'm asking. The other reasons I've noted, but this underlies a lot of it. I don't know how long the dual-use ones' batteries may last if I'm primarily using them wired, so instead of having that in the back of mind, I'd like to get a wired controller for when gaming on devices I'm already close to (which is mostly PC, hence asking for it specifically).

This is a good list, but y'know a niche ya missed? Pressure sensitive buttons, only really useful for those emulating old games that used them, but still a fun feature to remember.

Yeah in hindsight I'm kicking myself for not having gotten one like that, but I had trouble finding wired ones at the time (and didn't think I'd get tired of the battery maintenance), which surprised me.

The cheap part of PowerA controllers is a little of why I asked, as I've not had an opportunity to ask anyone that's used them.

What about one nice comment across posts as well?

You're getting sandwiches for commenting?? _/s

What if it was the cops' boss, moonlighting as a pizza shop boss and ultimately as an inept robber?

Would taking notes from some dogs and rolling in foul stuff count?

Why limit your imagining to products alone? Even in that reply I'm not specifying person or thing (despite the use of "it"), and with the original question I'm asking either marketing oneself or something.

The internet has been carefully curated [...]

You mean the fuckin' corporate internet? 😜

Yes but also markets in general, because why not?

No no, if they could hire you for that you'd be marketable, but if you actively liked the product and kept talking them up only to make them uncool and refused being paid to or paid to stop, maybe? 🤔
