Oh yeah, 2D Dark Souls (which fair or not, is what it will be called forever).

@kkslider5552000 You mean until Blasphemous is released

Haven't played that one yet, there's enough Souls games to keep me satisfied. I hope everything's smooth sailing for the devs, more games is always a good thing.

...Gamestop hasn't shipped it yet....ugh. I'm not getting the thing am I? T.T

Really hope that's not the case, I worry easily...and even about stupid unimportant things like this. lol

I took a picture of a joystick from a Wii U Pro Controller I barely used, and a particularly nasty one from my Gamepad (after cleaning it!) that I used more than anything. I guess it goes to show how much I use my game systems, but it also shows how cheap the joystick padding is. The same thing happened to my first 3DS. For this reason, I sure hope they don't use the same material for the joy-con's joy sticks. If so, at least a pair of joy-cons cost a bit less than a new Gamepad.

....both sticks on my Wii U controllers look perfectly fine, and I use them often. >.>

@Joeynator3000 Perhaps you wash your hands before touching your controllers? I never bother. Too much hassle.

Not often...lol

Think the only issue I had was the old 3DS and the circle pad, finally came off around the time Smash 3DS released. Thankfully some super glue fixed it.

@Nicolaison that looks melted not worn, are you Firestorm?

That, uhh, that's certainly not normal wear and tear, I think.

Sheesh, I figured it was sweat that was dissolving the material, but maybe it's some snack I'm eating, or maybe I've just played Wii U much longer than all of y'all. I'm gonna calculate my Wii U's mileage.

Adding up numbers from the activity log, I got 5368:19 hours total off my Wii U. 769:40 of that was Netflix, which doesn't require holding the controller, but that still leaves 4598:39 hours of active game time. A lot, right?

is too lazy to check his stats, lol

I can only conclude, after seeing that picture of your stick, that you must be able to shoot acid from your fingertips.

@KirbyTheVampire I'm not an alien, guys. Really. >.> XD

@Nicolaison What in the heck happened to that joystick? That is in no way normal wear. I've worn numerous X360 controllers and one gamepad down to the point that the stick stopped centering properly (and was therefore not usable as a stick since the recentering spring is kind of critical.) The silicone padding on all of them look perfectly fine, aside from the grip "bumps" (X360) and the grip "ring" on gamepad having been worn down so it's now mostly flush with the rest of the stick. That thing looks either melted by heat, or chemically melted by something you put on there that softened the material and let it deform. Some people produce what is basically gasoline in their skin oils, but that usually leeches the plasticizer out, making the material hard and brittle, and prone to cracking, not softening it.

So hmm, my left joycon analog stick is kind of not working properly anymore. Often when I tilt forward a little bit, Link keeps walking for while. Super annoying.
Anyone heard about something similar? (When I search on google I only find desynching issues lol)

I'm really careful with this kind of tech, so it's weird. How long is the warranty for these things?

Perhaps your avatar is an actual selfie.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure...lol
