This could actually be very useful. For example if your controller is completely covered in some sort of industrial lubricant that tape won't stick to, then you can pay this guy and he'll have to clean it so he can tape it. Now you have a clean controllet

Could also be useful because he claims to tape all your controllers. So if you've lost some, call up this guy and he'll locate every controller in your house to bring them all together in a taped mass.

Or if they're distributed around the continent and you want them all together. Cheap multi-origin shipping, hell yeah.

We'll bring down Amazon! The hero we all need

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Glue a controller to each dragonball and call this guy when you need a new wish.

[-] tubaruco@lemm.ee 30 points 9 months ago

what did you do to the controllers

You can't stand in the way of progress!

[-] ares35@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

he uses dollar store electrical tape that leaves even more gunk behind than what you started with.

[-] p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 months ago

In the early '90s, my dad made a universal remote by hot gluing 3 regular remotes together in a Π shape.

[-] NotMelon@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Bro goes places

[-] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 14 points 9 months ago

Do I have to supply the tape or does he bring his own?

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

See, that's how they get'cha. He brings his own but he charges by the inch.

[-] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

Sounds like my last trip to Reno…

[-] ares35@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

what did you do with all that change back from the quarter?

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

You won't find anybody else who does it for $5.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 8 points 9 months ago

It's so hard to get controller tapers these days. It's a dying art.

[-] Skua@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago

At last, I can play Armoured Core the way it was intended

[-] anarchyrabbit@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Aww! Green is big spoon and white is little spoon 🤗

[-] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago

They look so cute, hugging controllers.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

My god, it's beautiful.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Damn you still have a SuperScope. Extremely jealous of your collection. I use an 8bit snes controller as my main PC one. Feels perfect for me. Even more than ps5/xbox. Too bulky!

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Oh no, I just linked the photo for a joke. I’m just as envious of their massive collection as you are. The only interesting controller I own is a fighting stick.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh good then I can say that it bothers the hell out of me that this person didn’t group the same controllers together. Also don’t know why he has 5 NES controllers

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

I got the vague impression that their collection occupied more space than intended. Between reorganizing shelves upon the ground and limited space, the “this is taking longer than expected” factor kicked in and decided the end.

[-] milkytoast@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

what a steal

[-] extant@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Does that $5 cover finding the remotes first?

[-] CouncilOfFriends@slrpnk.net 4 points 9 months ago

I feel like this person would do it for free, and that makes me uncomfortable.

[-] paultimate14@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of the old days of wired controllers

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

It smells wrong. I mean, the megatron doesn't say "Urban free-wheelers", it says "Sofa masturbaters", you know?

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I mean how is he making money? The $5 barely will cover gas. The shareholders must know! Are there ads?
