bought a really cheap controller for the heck of it (and to have a clear consience knowing whether my own gamepad controls are even tolerable),
#Terraria #GamePad controls are actually rather competent! when it doesnt drop inputs that it, and its weirdly specific about which inputs it drops and which ones always go through?
i am not blaming the gamepad of dubious quality because my own software reliably detects all buttons

I own most console brands but most of the time I'm using emulators on my PC/laptop for #gaming (I'm getting into pain very fast when using a mouse: So gamepads are my favorite input method - also couch compatible).
What always makes me confused and therefore quite angry is, when changing from a Nintendo game to a game at another platform.
Do much that nowadays I force one half of my platforms to behave like the other half to have a uniform experience. So I don't have to rewire my brain cells all the time.

So let's cut to the cheese 🧀! What's your favorite #gamepad fire button assignment?
Switch Style. Primary button at the right.

Sony/MS Style. Primary button at the bottom.

I have hyprland on my lab pc (considering a switch to niri), and just had a situation in which I couldn't get gamepads to work no matter what I did.

Solution: make sure I had the `input` group so I had permission to access `/dev/input/*`...... * facepalms * 🤦‍♀️
