I recently bought one and am quite happy about it. I'm using DS4Windows and it minimizes to the notification area. It also starts up with Windows. The problem I have with it is that the bluetooth pretty much blocks out my wi fi connection and I can't seem to fix it by changing the wi fi channel around. Haven't really used bluetooth devices before so I'm not sure if it's unique to the PS4 controller. I'm using a long micro usb cable so I'm not having any problems with that.

There has been plenty of positive feedback on the PS4 controller so I'll give some negative points. I think the analog sticks are too small. It feels like my thumbs could slip off while playing a game. Haven't had any problems while actually using them though. The new location of the start and select button took some getting used to. They're pretty hidden on the pad. The default settings that DS4Windows uses for the mousepad thing aren't optimal. It puts all three mouse buttons on the pad and it doesn't always register correctly. If you want to to stop mouse movement you need to press the playstation button. If you don't, the mouse will just keep moving when you click the mousepad. I changed it so left clicking the pad will press the left mouse, right clicking the right and when I do multitouch (two fingers on mousepad) the mouse will stop moving and I can easily click with it

For more positive things, this controller is a great couch controller for pc gaming because of the mousepad. I'm thinking of games with partial controller support that require you to click ok in a launcher before you can actually start the game. I like being able to change the colour of the controller light.

I've heard that it doesn't play nice with BetterDS3 though. I thought that the main problem was that it picks up PS3 controllers as the primary controller and puts the PS4 one as the second one.

Absolutely. I wonder if it's solely because it's less comfortable to play or if there is a more psychological factor at play. On top of long games, I have trouble with playing mechanically complex games on a handheld and maybe even graphically impressive games.

I played Tony Hawk Project 8 on a PSP and while I don't think the game is bad, I hated playing on a smaller screen and the level of engagement I needed to properly play. I don't like playing console ports at all in general on a handheld.

Like another poster said, I do love playing emulated games on my PSP. I loved playing Ninja Five-O for example and that's just a platformer. I guess I think in the back of my mind that portable gaming is more for shorter 2D games with simple mechanics. I probably played more GBA games than I did actual PSP games on my PSP.

Overlord Complete pack on 8 Jun, 2012 for full price.
Before that I activated my Half Life Generation pack on August 7, 2004 and pretty much let my Steam account lay dormant for almost ten years!

I dreamt about this. A whole generation of shitty teenagers getting blocked on twitter by an app like this and then growing up.

To be honest, the blocking on Twitter doesn't seem too severe in some respects, it's pretty much a shadowban right? They just can't see the stuff you're posting to them but you can still view their stuff and post replies and such? It probably would be worse for everyone if it was a full block because the one doing the "harassing" would be more motivated to make another account.

I would like to know more about the inner workings of Block Together. Does it automatically add people I block to the main list? Do more people need to block a person before it gets added to a list or does that person have to be manually added? How do you deal with false positives? It seems like a pain to sort that stuff out.

I just started watching. I'd like to make the bold claim that Twin Peaks is even weirder than Deadly Premonition. I wish I saw this show back when it was released.

EDIT: Okay, after watching it further I don't think my claim is as bold anymore... Twin Peaks definitely is weirder than Deadly Premonition.

I've been waiting for a good time to post this (I'm really into Sherlock Holmes).
Oh dear, I forgot the combination for the lock of my heart medicine container, could you help me find it?
If you do, I might not die a horribly slow and painful death!
That damn grandson of mine also wrote a bunch of garbage next to the numbers and he keeps going on about one of them "video games" called One Way Heroics.
I have no idea what that even means!

My little rascal of a grandson tore up my favorite Jeremy Brett poster! Oh, that demon!
Could you piece it back togeter for me?
He also wrote random letter and numbers on it and kept going on about one of them "video games" called Unholy Heights!
I should really should take him to a doctor sometime!


EDIT: All keys are gone, hope you'll enjoy them!

I was really into the first Half Life and its expansions, not so much in the second one. Maybe I'll finally be able to see the complete story and not some extremely glitchy speedrun.

This thread also made me remember to check out Black Mesa. I was kindof surprised that the Xen section still isn't added to the game, then I remembered that I hated that section in the original game.

A bunch of PSX, PS2, Gameboy, Megadrive and PC games. In hindsight the PC games really stuck with me because I was a lot more conscious about buying those and I only ended getting six of them. I'd like to think that each of those games had some sort significant impact on my life?

  1. Half Life: Generation, a collection of Half Life, Counter-Strike, Opposing Force, Blue Shift and Team Fortress Classic (TFC). I only bought this because I was addicted to the demo of TFC. I liked all the games that were in it but only realised many years later how popular Half Life actually was.
  2. The House of the Dead III. I really like light gun games. I wish there were more light gun games.
  3. Doom 3. I didn't really like this one. It was too dark and found it to be more tedious than scary. It made me realise I don't really like most shooters which in return made me skip a lot of popular franchises.
  4. Guild Wars 1. I was quite addicted to this one. It was a singleplayer RPG with an interesting combat system that still had the fun bits of a MMO like the market place and player hubs. It was a very unique game that will never be seen again and I'm glad I was part of the ride.
  5. Starcraft 2. Greatest game that I never really played? When this game came out I was incredibly addicted to the whole esports scene surrounding it. I tried playing online for a bit but it was a very frustrating experience. I did like the campaign but only finished it years later.
  6. Kult: Heretic Kingdoms. Bought it many many years ago for a cheap price. Only really played and finished it recently. It only further cemented my mancrush for game designer Chris Bateman. Badass female protagonist that wants to kill religion? Kult: Heretic Kingdoms got you covered.
