    I have both, and I prefer the Dualsense for its larger touchpad and less intrusive light bar, but the Dualshock is lighter which is nice for this setup.

    The usb-c mod is easy to install, in theory; you just disconnect a single ribbon cable and swap out the entire pcb with the port on it. The harder part of the mod is carving a hole in the plastic, since usb-c ports are wider than micro ports.

    I think eXtremeRate now sells a back shell with the usb-c hole already cut!

    I couldn’t say. From what I’ve heard, slightly worse; I think people prefer not having the red-blue-fighting thing in their eyes. The best way to play virtualboy right now is on a hacked 3DS with its glasses-less 3D display.

    If you have one you should try it out; its suprisingly easy to hack, or rather, the hack process is surprisingly well-documented!

    if anyone’s curious: that’s a ps4 controller with a gold buttons mod from eXtremeRate and a usb-c mod from Casual Coders on Tindie, along with some ps4 controller cell phone mount from amazon.

    I use a 6-inch usb-c cable to connect the controller to my phone, and it registers with Retroarch Android, which is running a simulation of VirtualBoy Bowling. In the emulator settings you can enable red/blue anaglyph mode, which works with these paper 3D glasses.



  • I used to have this problem and I’m not sure exactly how to fix it but I can say that it helps a lot if you consider what potential responses you might get before you speak. Don’t just say things because you want to say them, say things because they open up the conversation for interesting responses. This is not the same as “asking a lot of questions” because that’s exhausting, as anyone who’s dealt with a Sealion knows. Instead, try to say things that are open-ended. If your chat’s tone is comedic, try not fixing your typos so that someone else can chain a joke off of them. If the chat’s tone is serious, try making an analogy that connects the current topic to a previous one. If the chat’s tone is toxic, you can leave.
