What are some things that just get under your skin about games?

For me, it’s games that do not allow controller rebinding. I have neuropathy and my fingers don’t all work. If I can’t rebind buttons so that I have necessary moves (for example: parry) be on buttons I can reliably press the entire game becomes unplayable.

And on console, where I can’t refund a game after I downloaded it (fuck you Sony) then it really screws me over wasting what limited funds I have on games I just can’t play.

    Aah, i think it was tie-fighter, where you could lock on and press a key to match speeds with an enemy - (albeit instantaneous only). Maybe it was there in x-wing, but i feel like it was one of the minor qol improvements in tie-fighter that made it better.

      They ported it over to X-Wing in later versions. Also, play XWVM, if you haven’t already.

      I think about that surprisingly often. Also how nice would that be in real life too, not just games.

        We have that option for cars to match speed with each other in the same travel lane … It’s called a “train”. We should build more of them.

        When they have motorway roadworks here there they often have “average speed limit zones”. set like 40-60mph. speed camera enforced at start and end.

        Everyone just pootles along steadily at very close to 39 or 49mph no overtaking. It’s great.
