Elite Series 2 Controller

Man the amount of options and configurations for this thing is almost overwhelming once you fine tune everything:banderas:

I got this primarily for Halo. I got both analog sticks set to the highest tension so they feel weightier and more precise. The right trigger is set to the super quick hair trigger while the left one is set to the default trigger for zooming in. I removed the two long paddles and have the shorter ones set to change grenades and an alternate crouch button, which is super clutch because I can now simultaneously toggle the crouch while still moving the right stick. I also swapped out the default sticks to the wider dish one for the left stick and the rounded one for aiming with the right. I know I killed it with the setup because it feels amazing in Halo but is absolute dog shyt in Skater XL:lolbron:

You buy a lot of physical games. I mostly stopped buying physical games when GCU ended at Best Buy. I use my Amazon Prime Visa and buy online cards for PSN to buy my games so I can get 5% cash back on all them and the Xbox is mostly just for Game Pass games.

I'm a collector. That's all. No more, no less. There's that bit of childhood nostalgic feeling of getting a game from the store for me. Besides, it gets me out of the house at least for a hot minute. Not to mention, I forget about games when I get them digitally whereas if I see the game on my shelves, it'll stick out in my mind.

I totally get this. Interested in seeing your collection, if you are ok with sharing.

Been looking at these for a while but finally copped for $95. It's a Logitech MX Vertical Mouse that's has better ergonomics than traditional mice (especially the apple Magic Mouse:scusthov:) since your hand rests in a vertical, handshake position. also features mappable buttons which I use to swipe between desktops in Mac on as well as hold to zoom w/ scroll wheel. shyt's really nice for working long periods at a time:ehh:

No prob. Crazy thing. I've stopped/started like three times in my lifetime. Meaning that it happened when I made the move to damn near exclusively to pc like I did in 2012 or give games away when I gave away consoles when I got the new ones. About 2017, picked up on this again pretty hardcore on the consoles when I realized that I was going to turn the mancave into a gaming palace. I've posted pics before of my palace on the website here. My PC is more powerful than the two new consoles but outside of obvious things like Civilization VI, that I re-bought on PC, I'm getting for console. My plan going forward is that only when I've exhausted all options or I just know it isn't going on a disc, is when I'll get it digitally.

Anyways, its not a lot for now but here are the pics.

All the games I've bought at launch since the XSX/PS5 came out.
