I have just gotten into baldurs gate 3 and holy shit it has consumed my soul.

… Which is kinda fitting considering the themes of the game

I’m the opposite because I’ve had nothing but bad luck with docker. I should really spend more time with it but ugh

Not lag, physical pushback from the wheels

True, but sensitivity is only half the story - the direct feedback of a wheel cannot be overstated

It’s not just about precision, it’s about feedback. Being directly connected with the steering linkage gives valuable feedback about the road and the front wheels - just because handicapped people have an alternative that they may use out of necessity does not mean it’s a better solution.

In a fully autonomous car, sure perhaps a simple manual system as a backup makes sense but we aren’t there yet. You are talking absolute nonsense, and I can only assume you haven’t ever driven a vehicle.

Steering wheels are enormous because that allows fine grain control, which you need at higher speeds. Switching lane at 70mph requires only very slight movement but turning the car around in a street you can go full lock.

A joystick would be fucking TERRIFYINGLY stupid lmao

I’ve never even looked for an alternative, what started as mild intrigue a decade ago turned into my only window into music, as much as the interface can sometimes drive me mad (and their sometimes cavalier attitude to changing it) I just can’t deny that the recommendation engines have introduced me to whole new worlds of music which I love and wouldn’t even know exists otherwise

Jesus Christ, thanks for that mental image dingleberry
