When you walk away from celebrity culture you’re free to define what success looks like for you, instead of being told what success is and blindly chasing that.
I was deep into Strategy and lore – preferring games that ate hundreds of hours. Unfortunately these days my available gaming hours are reduced to a mere handful. It’s difficult to remember everything when I can only play sparingly.
Thus, I’ve resorted to smaller indie games that can be enjoyed in a smaller amount of time, with less of a learning curve. I’m a casual gamer now. What can you do?
As a PS2 owner, and a lover of the Dreamcast but had to skip a gen because of poverty – I always felt like I made the wrong choice when I went to visit my xbox owning neighbor.

True. Also, the joysticks can be purchased separately. 15 for a few bucks IIRC. There are videos of people changing out the gear from the new one and putting it into the joystick soldered onto the controllers board.
It looks like something I could do. I’m not hardware savvy and get the shakes during precision work.
