Random game thought: I’ve been thinking about a game controller with three joysticks, but I can’t come up with a good enough reason to have the extra one. Two joysticks seems to cover everything, right? Have we reached peak game controller? What could we map to a third stick? The closest to a good reason I could think of would be radial menus, but you can easily do those with a modifier and one of the other sticks right? #gamedev

@psychicparrot42 Controllers have too many buttons. It makes designer lazy.

@psychicparrot42 The Atari 2600 joystick was peak-controller. The only thing I'd change is adding a button.

@Jayenkai @psychicparrot42 To the right.

Thing I use is xcode/vs is visual debugging. I want to set breakpoints, step into and out of code. I don't ever want to use the command line. It's what has kept me from Linux. Friend says vscode will do this... I hope he is right. I'm not interested in goofy solutions... I want an IDE that works and doesn't become a hobby unto itself.

I finally got my linux machine working again after doing a BIOS reset/magic. A friend told me that VSCode has a good c++ compiler and debugger. Not as good as VS and Xcode, but close. Once I get to NZ I'll spend some time getting it working.
