Ok but playing a game through a mirror would be hard af

[-] z500@startrek.website 24 points 10 months ago

Solution: play through two mirrors

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Controller settings: Reverse X Axis.

[-] TwanHE@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 5 points 10 months ago

There are quite a lot of GameCube games that let you invert the camera controls. But I'm not aware of any that would let you invert the left analog stick

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You swap the left/right controls on the controller. Or game settings.

I have no idea if that would work but it sounds good and dammit now I wanna try it.

[-] OR3X@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, there wouldn't be any options to swap left/right movement on a Gamecube. Back then you were lucky if a game had more than a handful of settings at all. It would be interesting to try on a system that allows it. I also wonder if you just practiced it enough if your brain would adjust. Sort of like that deal with the reversed controls on a bicycle that Tom Scott(?) did a video about a while back.

I think that was Destin Sandlin from “Smarter Every Day” but yes I bet that would work. Although it might have some deleterious side effects like the inverted glasses experiment (see George Stratton and Dr. Alyssa Brewer)… nothing permanent since they were glasses that could be removed. This would be a very interesting experiment though if it hasn’t been done.

Or being the tinkerer I am I’d probably just figure out how to rewire the control to do it. Not that that would be super easy mind you.

Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.

When that door is closed, you're forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.

[-] Daveyborn@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Practicing my war face

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You say "forced to", he says "able to" 🤷

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Helps increase the pleasure.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Oh that’s very true and just weird.

[-] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 10 months ago

Bathroom design advice: don’t hang mirrors facing toilets.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Unless you're into that shit, pun intended..

[-] horse_tranquilizers@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

W a v e B i r d

[-] RunjamboJenkin@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

This just unlocked a memory of running a PS2 controller extension cable to use on the toilet 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

[-] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

These were the best damn controllers.

[-] theRealBassist@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I still have mine lol absolutely love it

As someone who’s currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

I generally nut ropes, but mad props to a man who can nut logs

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

I mean, the Switch is already designed to take it to the shitter with you.

[-] icerunner_origin@startrek.website 3 points 10 months ago

My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

For those that don't care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Disagree. It didn't have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Never much fan of that feedback. Also, battery life!

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 10 months ago

Carpet in the bathroom? Bold choice

[-] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You've never heard of bathmats? They're fairly common worldwide.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Any carpet in the bathroom ends up smelling like urine, especially with little boys in the house. Heck big boys too. At least with a rug you can through it in the washing machine. Carpet not so much. My grandmother had carpet in her bathroom. And those weird soft toilet seats that eventually cracked and would pinch your backside when you sat down. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

[-] dandu3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

The house I'm in right now has 3 bathrooms and they all have carpet. It's carpet everywhere actually.

[-] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Worldwide? Never seen in my life even in media.

[-] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yes? And how prominently do bathroom floors feature in the media you consume? It's not like this is some outlandish concept lmao
