   The last time I held an nes controller it was very small and uncomfortable due to the rough edges, iirc

     @sysrq @nyanide its fucking nice being able to individually adjust how fast the turbo is. That and if you're doing some 2 player games you can just switch and hand the stick off. Its fucking tops.

     @prettygood @nyanide They were thinking that :gunpeiyokoi: just invented the D-pad and that the rectangle shape is *fine*. Love the NES controller.

     @nyanide @prettygood They stopped thinking that because of shoulder buttons when they designed the SNES controller, which is the best controller ever.

     @p@fsebugoutzone.org @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com I think the dogbone nes controller is a pack of lies, but the joystick and the cheaty one were just fine if you had weak hands that couldn't handle the rectangle.

     I am unsure what this means.
     
     > if you had weak hands that couldn't handle the rectangle.
     
     I don't know, the edges never really bothered me. You don't have problems if you don't press them into your hand: you're supposed to hold it from the back.
     
     It was a significant innovation over the previous designs, like Atari's tard controller or the Colecovision's batshit insane "Stick, four triggers, wheel, and full numpad, because let's just shove in fucking everything" controller. The knuckleduster on that thing actually did rub yer fingers raw.

     @prettygood @miscbrains @nyanide There was a baseball game; you used the number pad to decide what kind of pitch and then the triggers controlled the speed, something like that. I forget.
