Me, irl.
Playing FPS games with a controller as a Keyboard+Mouse player, part one
I wasn't a big controller player on PC (despite I had consoles before and played a lot of console games, mostly on PS2 and PS3), but last year, I have just decided to buy an XBOX controller just for playing games in the way that they're meant to be. I've tried a lot of games, including The Legend of Zelda: OoT, Hades 2, Dead Cells, and most notably Dark Souls. But I have never ever tried to play a FPS game with a controller, because I've got so much used to standard keyboard+mouse control scheme that playing a FPS game felt, and still feels, weird to me.
So today ladies, gentlemen and whomever the fuck you are, I've decided to play one of my all-time favourite game series with it: Borderlands. Yeah I know. Liking Borderlands games aren't cool at all. I know Randy Pitchford is a jerk who should shut the fuck up, but I can't help man. One of my other all-time favourite game series is also Diablo, and Borderlands, I think, is just FPS Diablo. I'm sorry but this formula makes something so good that just feels right to me. Especially the earlier entries of it (1, 2, TPS) nailed the formula, BL2 is one of my all-time favourite games ever because of that.
Now let me be clear: I really don't care about the story and the lore that much honestly. Borderlands games have relatively mediocre stories, only the second game is a little bit better than others (I haven't played Wonderlands and 4, yet) because of Handsome Jack factor.
But the gameplay, oh boy, the gameplay is biblical. Shoot, get better guns, shoot more, get legendary guns that does a lot of things and feels different than the other guns which makes the game so much fun to me, not including the other items like Shields, Relics, Class Mods, Grenades and even Action Skills with Skill Trees that has a ton of things to elevate your build... And when you finish the main story, you're just getting started. Trust me, if it was only for the main story, I wouldn't care about the game that much. Because BL games only has so much limited stuff on the main story (and despite it is still fairly large). Borderlands games also has some of the best expansions on the market here, adds a lot of extra side story content (with new guns and bosses to farm of course) and endgame content such as raid bosses and more level ups, and even more tiers of guns (for example: Seraphs, Pearlescent, Effervescent etc.)
Let's just stop yapping about the series there and talk about how is my first experience with a FPS game with controller: It feels weird. Yeah. Especially when you try to do stuff that you can do with K+M, it feels really clunky and, off. But this is my first impression with just the tutorial section of Borderlands, the first. I know it's very short for a first impression but I haven't been able to experience the game in an expensive period of time with the controller, so for now I'm going to keep it short.
Well maybe in the future, I'm will write a part 2, if I decide to continue with it. Take care, be nice and have fun.

this too shall pass but the fuck was that for

Bir zamanlar TĂźrkiye'nin Northernlion'u olmak istiyordum. Ama Korece bilmediÄim ve zibilyon tane farklÄą filme hakim olmadÄąÄÄąm için vazgeçtim.
YĹllar geçti, artĹk Hangul okuyabiliyorum ama hala Korece bilmiyorum, o zamandan beri baya film izledim ama hala Northernlion kadar film kßltßrßm yok.
Sevgili GĂźnlĂźk - 06:18 20/09/2023
DĂźn bomboĹ bir gĂźndĂź. UyandÄąÄÄąmda saat 16:15 falandÄą sanÄąrÄąm. Kalkar kalkmaz ilk iĹ yine her zaman ki gibi bilgisayarÄąn baĹÄąna geçmek oldu. Ăok sÄąkÄąldÄąm artÄąk. Marketten aldÄąÄÄąm 65 liralÄąk dandik ama doyurucu pizzalardan yiyip bilgisayarÄąn baĹÄąna dĂśndĂźm. Sonra gece 12'ye kadar LoL oynayÄąp (ve bir sĂźrĂź maç kaybedip hayatÄą sorgulamaya baĹlayÄąp) saat 1:30 gibi ''Catch Me If You Can'''i izlemeye karar verdim. SĂźper film. 4/5 verebilirim. Spielberg'e olan gÄącÄąklÄąÄÄąm ve hikayenin pek de gerçek olmamasÄą harici (ne var ki gerçek hikaye de yalanlarla dolu) sevdim filmi, keyifliydi. Tabi ki geç uyanmamdan mĂźtevellit oluĹan uykusuzluktan ĂśtĂźrĂź uyuyamadÄąm ama tek sorun o deÄildi. DiĹ sÄąkmamdan ĂśtĂźrĂź suratÄąmÄąn sol tarafÄąnda hafif ama can sÄąkÄącÄą bir aÄrÄą var, aÄrÄą kesici içtim, umarÄąm dĂźzelir. Neyse, 1 saate babamlar da kalkar, o zamana kadar uyumazsam (hatta gĂźn içinde uyuya kalmazsam) çok iyi olur, gĂśz altlarÄąmÄąn mosmor olmasÄą harici tabi. BĂśylece gece daha iyi uyuyabilirim, yani Ăźmit ettiÄim Ĺey o en azÄąndan. Neyse, ĂśpĂźldĂźnĂźz.

Streaming companies are the landlords of media. You will rent in perpetuity, and never actually own anything.
â¨đ´ââ ď¸ PIRATE AND DOWNLOAD YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA IMMEDIATELY. PIRATE AND DOWNLOAD YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA IMMEDIATELY đ´ââ ď¸â¨
1. Download Firefox
2. Add the following extensions: uBlock Origin, AdBlocker Ultimate, Privacy Badger, Privacy Possum, minerBlock (ClearURLs and Donât track me Google also recommended but not necessary for this)
3. Go forth brave soldier
I actually wanna chime in here and give my two cents since Iâve done a lot of anxious research for similar fears of mine. So here goes. Summary/TLDR at the bottom:
The more browser extensions you have installed, the more fingerprintable your web browser is!
Thatâs why on the TOR Foundationâs website they recommend that you install ZERO extensions on the Tor Browser. Of course, in reality most people want or need some, so hereâs what Iâve come to learn on a few vital and mentioned ones. The goal is to minimize your extensions as much as possible.
You donât need two ad blockers. uBlock Origin is the best of the best, and has an element zapper if it ever misses anything automatically, which it rarely, if ever, does.
Privacy Badger is (allegedly) an outdated extension that doesnât do very much other than make your browser more fingerprintable.
minerBlocker (while I havenât donât much research) doesnât sound very useful. Because Firefox, if you change the Cookie Block settings, can block CrytoMiners on its own. uBlock Origin can also do this with a special script, but thatâs beyond me, so youâll have to turn to Reddit if you wanna use it for CryptoMiner blocking.
If youâre worried about viruses, the app Malwarebytes is cross-platform and open-source. Itâs widely trusted by r/privacy and r/piracy. The free tier wonât run automatically after your free trial is up, so just run it every time you install a piece of pirated software, and then every once in a while after.
Also, you forgot the golden rule of torrenting. A good browser and extensions only prevent fingerprinting from a website, itself. This isnât whatâs gonna get you in trouble with the law. So: GET A VPN!! The ONLY way to prevent your internet service provider (ISP) from seeing what youâre doing is to encrypt your network usage with a VPN. Mozilla (the makers of Firefox) have a paid VPN which I personally use and is very beginner friendly and cross-platform. Most free VPNs cannot be trusted and usually collect, sell, and report illegal data, which defeats the purpose. Without a VPN, however, your ISP will be able to see that youâre downloading peer-to-peer content. Now, that isnât always a bad thing. Some ISPs donât care, and wonât do shit. For example, Mozilla VPN has failed a few times for me when I left my client running overnight, and nothingâs ever happened. If you live in Germany or another country with stricter piracy laws, or you have a stricter American ISP, you could get fined and/or have your service turned off. In Germany people have even gotten jail time. The #1 thing to do if you have anxiety about piracy is get a well-trusted VPN like Mozillaâs. In fact, if you only do one thing from this thread, THIS is the one to do. I highly recommend that you NEVER download to upload peer-to-peer pirated content without one, as it is a serious risk.
And finally, use r/piracy as a means to find reliable websites. Do not download torrents or files off random websites before looking it up on r/piracy. Stick to popular and active torrents, and I would suggest primarily using 1337x.to as a trusty website. Also, look for trusted crackers and repackers. For example, if youâre torrenting Mac Apps, a well known cracking group is TNT. If you want games and Windows software, FitGirl and DODI are popular repackers for them. DODIâs repacks are also among the only ones Iâve found that word with Translation Layers like Wine, WineSkin, and CrossOver on macOS and Linux.
Also, no amount of extensions on Firefox will make you anonymous. If want anonymity, you need to download the Tor Browser, add ZERO extensions, and NEVER change the default window size or settings. This level of security usually isnât necessary for your average torrent downloader, though. Iâd much rather use Firefox + a VPN than Tor. Tor is extremely slow because of itâs Onion Anonymizing Network, and is really only needed for people who have a reason to hide from the government, ie: political whistleblowers, protest organizers, etc.
There is also an extension called NoScript. Itâs the only extension that comes with Tor, and it can be downloaded on Firefox as well. This extension is your gateway to preventing websites from collecting and sharing your data. HOWEVER, this extension will break websites, and it can be very frustrating to use if you arenât privacy-minded, tech savvy, and patient. So, if youâre a beginner, Iâd recommend trying this one at another time.
And finally, you need a way to download the torrented data (duh). The only two clients (apps) most people trust are qBittorent and Transmission. uTorrent is no longer trusted due to privacy issues. DO NOT USE IT. If youâre a beginner and want something with a pleasant UI, I highly recommend Transmission. Iâve been using it, and personally I love the simplicity over qBittorent; however, I know a lot of more advanced users really love qBittorent.
So, if you wanna get into the basics of piracy, hereâs what you need:
Firefox
uBlock Origin
ClearURLs
âStrictâ or âCustomâ Cookie Setting on Firefox
Mozilla VPN!!!
Transmission
If you wanna go more in depth, add NoScript and swap Transmission for qBittorent.
And if you wanna go really advanced, replace Firefox with Tor Browser and download ZERO extensions. If you need me to tell you how to use Tor and what itâs for, though, then you probably donât need it.

Back in the ps2 days I would have gotten a booklet with game instructions and lore, a booklet on how to not have a seizure while playing the system, and a coupon for a gaming magazine that doesnât exist anymore. Â
it makes me sad as hell. I use to pour over that little booklet 5 or 6 times before even starting the game. Iâd look at all the little concept art and lore. Iâd try to imagine what the game would be like in my head based on what the game prompted me with. Iâd imagine being in the world myself and what the heck the dash button meant.
There have been a lot of reblogs insulting me about this, but nah. I stand by it. Itâs not a giant sadness, but a tiny tinge of feeling like something is missing in the same way that I miss cd booklets with lyrics sheets, art, and listed credits or dvds with features. Somehow I as an adult move on with my life. Fuck, I even make my own art yâall.
For me itâs about presentation of it an an experience. Going to see a movie in a theater vs. watching it on netflix. I like the presentation. I also have a fondness for pop culture ephemera on a layer beyond that. Booklets often had lore and art that helped you get into the mindset of those creating it. It was interesting to see what they thought to be important lore, or trying to cram in stuff they couldnât fit into the game itself. Also, less universally, it was cool to read credits. See who worked on what. The little dedications and special thanks. Credits exist in games still, but it was like a theater program for your game. it was neat and a reminder that it was people that made the things I like, not corporations or some big auteur.
Not to be Old On Main but one of my favourite books when I was a kid was the Diablo 1 instruction manual.
This thing wasn't a lil' tiny booklet, it was almost a novella sized brick of paper, and I read that thing over and over again.
And it had all the usual stuff in a game manual, like technical support, troubleshooting, installation instructions and so on, but then next to those instructions you'd also get stuff like... a little poem, or a little lore tidbit from the game just hanging out in the dark margins, spicing up the place.
It also contained instructions for things which, nowadays, you probably wouldn't even get an in-game tutorial for in a lot of games, like "It also contained instructions for things which, nowadays, you probably wouldn't even get an in-game tutorial for in a lot of games, like "you can't walk through walls" or "clicking on a character interacts with them." This was a time when gaming wasn't ubiquitous, where a lot of people saw computers mainly as data entry work tools, and a time when in-game tutorials simply were not a part of game design yet.
You want to know how to operate the software? Consult the manual.
But the REAL prize that got me reading the thing over and over again was the concept art and the lore, the story, this literal VOLUME of background and information about the game world that, much like the tutorial, would never be explained or be accessible in-game.
Oh, bad anatomy Chris Metzen warrior illustration, you informed so much of my younger self's idea of what cool fantasy aesthetics look like...
Besides those biographies of the warrior, rogue and sorcerer, there were extended details about the items and weapons, diagrams and drawings of the magic system and the bestiary and, most fascinating of all to young me, literature and art from the deep stories of the setting.
Playing Diablo itself, you would only ever really get the cliff's notes and hints about the full breadth of the lore and story created for the game, and so the developers took great time and care to cram it into - as I remember it - almost a 100 page booklet full of all the creative ideas they couldn't fit into the game proper.
The instruction manual felt like a true companion piece to the game, an equally important part of the experience if you wanted to fully understand the game you were playing. Getting to read the instruction booklet for a game you you had bought after only ever playing it at a friend's house, back then, felt like being let in on something. I guess the closest equivalent would be... it felt back then kind of like how discovering a really fascinating fan-theory, or a really great video essay about a game, feels today. Like a step deeper into something that's otherwise closed off to you.
Now, I don't want to wax TOO nostalgic, though. A lot of game manuals weren't this elaborate and interesting (Blizzard always took special care with theirs), and for all that I loved the Diablo instruction manual, it's not like any of the writing in it would make for literary classics. It hits about the level of the worldbuilding notes for a really cool homebrew D&D campaign, deeply stewed in 90s fantasy cheese and underground comix aesthetics, complete with... that particular cultural moment's approach to female characters.
(this is an approach to character design Blizzard has never grown out of, even to this bloody day)
And for all that I love the instruction manuals of old, yeah, I'm not gonna pretend like it's not more convenient and holistic to have an in-game codex and in-game tutorials, I'm not gonna act like the registration cards and ads and half-baked and incomplete attempts at troubleshooting and tech support aren't relics of a time when better options weren't available.
There is not a lost golden age of manuals when games were more magical and the experiences were more real, no prelapserian utopia from whence the modern world has fallen.
But game manuals were, once upon a time, a thing that creative folks at game companies poured a lot of time into, a lot of care and attention, and buying a big box brand new video game for a game with a really good manual felt that much more special and revelatory for it.
I do miss the physical media of games, the game boxes and manuals and jewel cases for CDs or floppies. A steam library is way more convenient and often better, but there is just a different feeling to holding something physical in your hands.
Elon, just go k
