Essential The Locker Room's Random Thoughts

[Tenchi Ryu]

From Arcadium:

So I bought a new Power A controller.....mostly for just one reason...this shade of green in amazing

Some comparison pics

So this controller is fukking amazing...I'm legit in shock how well they replicated the feel of a xbox controller. Only key differences is the weight is lighter, the front feels more plastic smooth compared to the official matte xbox controller finish, and this is not a wireless controller, its wired which comes with a pretty long usb cable. As I'm usually using fightsticks and playing retro consoles a wired controller is no big deal to me, but be mindful of that if you prefer wireless controllers.

Starting with the postives, this is a great controller, the sticks are amazing and feel just like the real thing. The buttons feel very good to touch although raised a tad higher than the official controller. General controller rumble is very strong and responsive. D-Pad is very responsive and feels great to touch, it passed the street fighter test



The clear nob in the middle acts as a volume dial for headphone audio, and as you can see in the pic lights up when a controller is plugged in. It makes controller your audio very convenient when in the middle of gaming. As you can also see in the back, it has two programmable elite controller type extra buttons that you program by using that middle circle button on the top. Comes in handy for fps games....will prolly map jump and reload to these buttons when playing halo.


For the negatives...You lose everything premium about the official triggers, no trigger rumble and lack of that premium feel when pulling down on a official xbox controller. These triggers remind me a lot of the 360 controller triggers. To compensate, the precise rumble is in the base of the controller, so what you would normally feel in the rumble triggers like for example Forza, you feel it in the base of the hold controller when braking, accelerating, etc. So its a loss but something you can get use to. And then as I mentioned earlier, if you need wireless controllers this ain't for you....its a long cable but still a cable and depending on your home setup that might be an issue for you. A personal negative for me is the lack of weight....I've grown accustom to controllers having a hefty weight to them, feels more premium and this is a very light controller, in turn makes it feel a tad more "toy" ish.

So final review? I love it. Probably the best third party controller I've used, Power A really nailed this one which makes since as they are pros at making nintendo switch controllers now, so going for as close to authentic as possible is their thing. For 40 dollars and the colors it comes in, I gotta recommend it. Especially if you're like me and need a color Microsoft doesn't provide, the official green they use is too yellow tinted for my taste and I prefer this jade type shade of green

And for only 40 dollars, I'm definitely getting another one for to make my main PC controller..prolly the spectra edition which looks sick and has customizable LED backlighting

@Prynce @Rawtid @Booksnrain the therapist I found I tried booking an appointment and she can’t do my availability since I’m first shift now. She recommended me a another brehette and I got a call back. Now I’m on a fukking waiting list. I’m not searching for more black therapists that will not even call nor email back. This shyt is ridiculous.

Good for you.

Just stay away from any and all psychiatrists..profession is a joke now and a veritable pill mill.

It’s definitely a process. I don’t think people understand what you have to go through. I say keep trying but don’t put so much focus on it. Gather up resources and then maybe once a week you contact people. Try finding a dude. The therapy for black men site was good.

Vdon has put out nothing but consistent production for like 2 years now. That man is a certified genius- Harlem vibes back like they never left!!! You know I already downloaded this on Spotify ASAP. Driving music. I can’t pick a favorite, they all knock.

And I didn’t think Dark Lo couldn’t carry an entire release by himself but damn- proved me wrong. Still miss Ar-Ab with the energy though. Sad. I need to hit up one of VDon’s listening events

Unfortunately, it takes months to get that first appointment. It’ll be easier to get appointments once you’re established.



I hate the mental health care system, I had a nervous breakdown my sophomore year in college and had to wait 5-6 weeks before I saw someone. Luckily , I was very open about it with my friends and family at the time. So my friends kept checking on me in my dorm and my fam kept calling me.


Who knows what could’ve happened in 5-6 weeks…it was a scary time and I was 6 hours away from home.


I’m not bipolar ( I have GAD ) but many black women suffer from it and it’s not evident until early-mid 20s. This is something that all HbCUs should test for if it’s this prevalent.

what we see as a ‘bad attitude and irresponsibility “ could very well be a manic episode

Why can't they make junk food healthy?

It's 2021 they should be able to do this.
