Solution: play through two mirrors

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Controller settings: Reverse X Axis.

Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 5 points 10 months ago

There are quite a lot of GameCube games that let you invert the camera controls. But I'm not aware of any that would let you invert the left analog stick

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You swap the left/right controls on the controller. Or game settings.

I have no idea if that would work but it sounds good and dammit now I wanna try it.

When that door is closed, you're forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.

Practicing my war face

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

You say "forced to", he says "able to" 🤷

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Oh that’s very true and just weird.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Helps increase the pleasure.

Bathroom design advice: don’t hang mirrors facing toilets.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Unless you're into that shit, pun intended..

As someone who’s currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

I generally nut ropes, but mad props to a man who can nut logs

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

I mean, the Switch is already designed to take it to the shitter with you.

My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

For those that don't care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

This just unlocked a memory of running a PS2 controller extension cable to use on the toilet 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

These were the best damn controllers.

[–] theRealBassist@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I still have mine lol absolutely love it

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

BEST. CONTROLLER. EVER

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Disagree. It didn't have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Never much fan of that feedback. Also, battery life!

Carpet in the bathroom? Bold choice

[–] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You've never heard of bathmats? They're fairly common worldwide.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Any carpet in the bathroom ends up smelling like urine, especially with little boys in the house. Heck big boys too. At least with a rug you can through it in the washing machine. Carpet not so much. My grandmother had carpet in her bathroom. And those weird soft toilet seats that eventually cracked and would pinch your backside when you sat down. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

[–] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And I'm talking about a bath mat/rug. As clearly shown in the picture. I'm not a 100%, but I don't think they use the kind of glued on whole floor carpet anywhere outside the US because it's just crazy. Carpet elsewhere is just normal carpets/rugs, like sane people use.

[–] dandu3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

The house I'm in right now has 3 bathrooms and they all have carpet. It's carpet everywhere actually.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Worldwide? Never seen in my life even in media.

[–] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yes? And how prominently do bathroom floors feature in the media you consume? It's not like this is some outlandish concept lmao
