    I’ve been a console fangirl since NES/SNES/Genesis (had them simultaneously). I tried pc gaming a few times between 2000 and 2010 or so, and it was ok, but controllers weren’t really there yet

    I mean, if you like console controllers, there have been adapters since forever. I was using a PS2 controller on the PC in IIRC 2001.

    EDIT: That being said, controller support was less-widespread for PC games back then, and because there was no standard controller layout at the time, you’d typically need to set what button performed each operation in each game.

      That edit is basically why I didn’t care for it.

      I have a pair of usb Logitech controllers and they are alright, but the configuration was a pain, so like… ehh.

      It’s a lot better now, I just have a huge backlog of discs so not in a rush. Probably won’t be bothering with the next generation of consoles though. No point.
