That’s fine, though I didn’t mention Steam at all. This is already a bad start for your comment, but I’ll continue anyway.

I always thought that most Arduino boards were incredibly expensive for what they could do. The Teensy LC board is tiny, plenty capable, and cheap. The Pi Zero also looks like it would provide better capability/cost ratio.

Price tag does matter to me, as I will purchase something as long as that price is lower than average for something of acceptable quality in its category and is something I am seeking.

Eh, on PC, you can generally get a decent price or wait a little while for a great one. It was selling for $25 not too long ago. Game sounds fun, though.

Even people who know what they’re doing are worse than an edge pro. An edge pro can’t be “outpaced,” whatever that even means in terms of sharpening a knife. Customization is easy with an edge pro, it’s just a way to get a very precise angle with the same, albeit smaller, stones and other sharpening tools like…

Obviously, but my point is that this saying relies on something else being the real motivation. The words themselves aren’t motivational.

Good to know, thanks for the summary. Looks like PC performance is pretty good, which is what I’ll be playing it on.

Unhappy marriage? Only 40%, stick through it no matter how much it sucks. It’s great if you only do this for things that will pay off rather than as a form of submission to what you’re already doing.

Eh, EdgePro has pretty much all the possibilities covered. Don’t know about many more possibilities than getting a knife sharp, though. Well, serrations are weird on stones. That’s one of the reasons I like the Sharpmaker. But, yeah, I have spent less time sharpening than I should be. Then again, I’ve also spent less…

So, yeah, like I said, time and money. You don’t really mention the time investment for stones freehand though. I think it matters how much one values their time and need for paying close attention.

Eh, everyone is worse than an edge pro.

Yes, well, it’s pretty hard to beat an EdgePro and there’s not much to “get.” I don’t know about the money it takes to get into water stones, but I’m betting it’s not cheap, not to mention the time investment. Someone mentioned a Spyderco Sharpmaker and I think that’s also a great option. I don’t think that doing…

I have a Sharpmaker and I think it’s great. I mean, anything seems better than getting into water stones.

I feel like getting an EdgePro would be much easier and result in much more precisely sharpened (and maybe sharper) knives.

Actually, the trackpad has more potential for feedback. I’m not sure of the current implementation, but it’s likely configurable. Not sure how the stick is better, but I use a wheel for driving games.

But is it good enough for super meat boy? The left touchpad is a better replacement for an analog stick than a dpad.

The left touchpad can act as an analog stick replacement.

It’s not an issue of bare functionality but of precision and broad utility. The left touchpad is at least as good as an analog stick for that type of input. The analog stick was a matter of compromise, not ergonomics. A legitimate dpad is irreplaceable.

I agree, I think it’s fantastic and, at worst, it’s as good as a regular controller. That said, going with an analog stick instead of a D-pad was dumb. That center touchscreen would have also been quite nice, but just that, not essential.

I think the issue is how much other people slobber.
