Reply to A Secret Server for the Dead MMO 'City of Heroes' Has Players in an Uproar by devtesla

As things stand now, the City of Heroes community is raging on the game's subreddit and Facebook group, not so much because of the database claims which are still unfounded, but because the secret server very much exists and not everyone was invited to play.

Am I reading this wrong or is this the crux of the controversy? People are upset because some people made their own server for a video game that some aren't allowed into?

Reply to comment by twovests in Is your pregnancy app sharing your intimate data with your boss? As apps to help moms monitor their health proliferate, employers and insurers pay to keep tabs on the vast and valuable data by neku

it's $1 per day though, which adds up. to be honest i don't know if i wouldn't take the deal. nothing feels private any more any way so why not volunteer your own information for cash, is kind of how i feel, but at the same time i know that it's wrong

Reply to coming to the disappointin conclusion that i gotta go to the gym if i want my brain to work good by twovests

when i started going to the gym a few months back i got sessions with a personal trainer who talked to me about what i wanted, made a routine for me and walked me through how to do it right. without that i think i wouldn't have lasted. from a shutin nerd perspective it felt a little embarrassing and awkward but she was super accommodating and i'd really recommend it

Reply to So what's a good video game controller? I'm looking to play emulator and retro games on PC by Moonside

I use a PS4 controller on my PC. I don't have any trouble with it when I play Steam games, because Steam has its own native gamepad support, but non-Steam games need external driver software. I use DS4Tool which works fine, but it's not as simple as I'd like it to be. However, in both cases, games tend to not support PS4 button layouts, so instead of the X and Circle buttons, for example, you'll see A and B buttons. It's not too much of a bother but as someone who grew up only playing Playstation games, I sometimes don't make the connection between the A logo and the X button, if that makes sense.

I haven't used it, but people seem to be quite happy with the Xbox One controller for PC. Because it's a Microsoft product that supports xinput, it works on pretty much everything out of the box, so you don't need to bother with drivers. I just think that having the d-pad to the right of the left stick is super weird.

People also seem to like to use 8BitDo controllers for PC. Again, I haven't used one. They're designed to mimic the old style controllers while retaining modern controller features. They might also be cheaper and just as good as the more expensive xbox/ps4 pads.

You can use Switch joy-cons or the pro controller on PC, too. Might be good if you already own em
