@EdBoatConnoisseur@DrRyanSkelton This is the setup I've been using lately (for GBA, but also console games), personally I think newpixie is the nicest looking "light" crt shader IF you have it set to Linear (very important) because it blurs the fuck out of the image in a way that I find pleasing while the grid effect is noticeable but not overwhelming.
Dread does gives you some decent drawings for beating the game on normal/hard in different time thresholds but Zero Mission's ending system mogs it hard. Sorry. It helps that ZM's illustrations aren't fan art for previous games. Anyway the real problem is that these people are unabashed faggots who hate seeing a woman look pretty for 5 seconds at the end of a game. Somehow I assumed people this gay didn't actually exist.
@dcc@theorytoe@kerosene@mikuphile That is very true. Unless the dpad on your controller is really terrible. Like with REmake and RE0 on the gamecube I'd just use the stick, but it helps that it had one of the snappiest analog sticks ever with a nice octagonal gate...again, not to praise the controller too much because the dpad was horrendous as anything but a set of auxiliary buttons.
@theorytoe@kerosene@mikuphile It's fine to have a shit dpad if you're just playing full analog games anyway. Some periods of my life I'd have a controller I liked using for 2D games while I used my 360 controller for everything else. I just really don't have any use for my Switch Pro pad, much prefer my Victrix BFG.
@kerosene@theorytoe@mikuphile Wii U pro controller is the one with insane battery life (it's because they used the same battery as the gamepad which obviously needed to be powerful to get decent hours on account of the screen) and it's an incredible controller that I only stopped using because the PC adapters have trash, hyper outdated driver software that causes the sticks to bug out big time.
The Switch one is mid, has the worst input latency by far when compared to any of the last couple generations of PS or Xbox pads, a dpad with questionable precision, the same drift prone sticks of the joycons and the HD rumble isn't really properly compatible with PC games. But it does have gyro if you can get it working (which can also be a pain if some combination of drivers on your OS decide to fuck you)
