I have an old-ass "Trust" joystick from the game port era that just sucks. All axes have different issues, yet all of them have issues. The throttle slider is long gone, the hat mini-joystick never worked (or, if you got it to work, you lost most of the actual buttons), and the stick center is in different places on different days.

While yes, planned obsolescence is a thing, there is also lots of survivorship bias.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
