  • We absolutely must ship what we said we would

    This absolute blind faith that what roadmap they have set for themselves is “right” is not a sign of good leadership. Maybe they are right and these protests are meaningless in terms of business metrics, but that is not what Steve is saying here. He is dead set on the path he created, outside metrics be damned

    Maybe Reddit won’t fail now, but if I were on the board I would be paying close attention to how Steve is leading Reddit through this period and consider whether his complete dismissal of user feedback is a good model for a company preparing for an IPO.

    Ignoring their users wholesale will eventually come back to bite them in a meaningful way.





  • I’ve had these for a little while (but the version A ones, where I had to solder the cap myself). I never had drift issues with the old sticks, but these new ones have virtually no deadzone and are more sensitive. At first it took a little while to get used to but it’s definitely more natural now.

    One funny thing is I was playing Grounded with someone and I had absolutely no issues walking on some of the thin branches in the game. The other person (with a normal Steam Deck) kept falling off because he couldn’t properly control the fine input on the regular sticks with their deadzone.

    They’re not perfect (they actually max out before the stick is fully pushed to the outside, weirdly), but I definitely don’t regret installing them
