This week I've been: Playing the Steam Next Fest demo of Pacific Drive. Travelling around a wasteland in a broken-down family car? I'm hooked already.
This month I've been: Taking a look at some brand new laptops fresh outta CES 2024.
I've had to remedy stick drift on multiple pairs of Joy-Cons over the years. Each time I clean out the analogue stick with a drop of isopropyl alcohol I buy myself a little more time before the damned drift returns. The same thing can be said for my last MS Elite controller, and multiple DualShock 4 pads (thanks, Destiny). I don't think I'm a particularly aggressive controller user, and I'm certainly not dripping Monster Energy in all my controllers' crevices, these things just happen with joysticks. But not all joysticks.
