I can't believe today was a good play (Games you played today)

I went for a dubious alternative to the Split Pad Pro that I posted about in the Switch thread:

Switch! (Part 1)

For the fourth time, one of my joy-con needs repairs because the thumbstick drift has gotten so bad. But sending it to Nintendo means I’ll be down half a controller for a few weeks. And the courier service that Nintendo of Canada uses to fulfill repairs is a pain in the ass. So I decided to take a chance on a “Controller for N-Switch” instead: [IMG_20200201_082840] This connects to the bottom of the Switch by USB-C, so it’s technically a wired controller. There’s an extra USB-C port for char…

2 weeks later I’m still having a great time with it. It’s very comfortable, it can do gyro aiming, and it’s far superior to joy-con for analogue movement. But the dpad responds poorly to sudden changes in direction. So the controller’s good for 3D action but poor for 2D action.
