2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

You're telling me I can now comfortably play Satisfactory from my couch? This is going to have a profoundly negative effect on my health

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Physical health or mental health?

Life expectancy with FICSIT is projected to free fall.

This game made me late for work the first week I played it.

Nuuu! You must manifold everything or you're not playing right! /s

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I don't see the point. How are you going to alt-tab back and forth between the game and Excel with a controller? Pfffft.

Edit: Do controllers even HAVE an autosum shortcut?

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only peasants use 1 device. Spreadsheet be on a separate monitor

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

PC for the Game, Laptop for Satisfactory Modeller, tablet for wiki, and a paper notepad and pen for writing down numbers.

[–] barkingspiders@infosec.pub 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

like basically everything Coffee Stain puts out, it's really well done, controller integration has been flawless so far, great game and a great team!

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I was worried about this. The game has so many hotkeys, I have no idea how a controller would handle them. Lots of contextual button mappings.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

After I played FFXIV on controller, I no longer have this worry in general. (It has 64 or so hotbar spots) Toggled by holding down with L1/L2 or both, or in reverse and some other fun stuff.

It works flawlessly

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Honestly even in Kingdom Hearts 1, there was an L1 menu for spells behind the other menus.

As a FFXIV controller player as well, it's really not that bad.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

As someone who played World of Warcraft for many years using only mouse and keyboard, before moving on to FFXIV...I have never played FFXIV on mouse and keyboard and don't even know how I could at this point >!except for the few times I do the Air Force One GATE at the Gold Saucer because the aim speed on a controller is just way too slow!<

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

It's not a spaceship, it's a videogame.

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm still waiting for the stable release. Mostly because I'm not prepared to lose another 200-300 hours.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Stable? 1.0 already dropped

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

Controller support is in the experimental 1.1 branch

[–] Nycto@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I never offered any excuses for my bad lines.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

About freaking time

EVEN SPLIT OR GTFO GAAAAAAH

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Manifold is just compact even split.
