So this is weird. My DualShock's R2 trigger button doesn't work for firing weapons but works for accelerating vehicles when I switched the controls scheme around in GTAV.

@RogerRoger I think it (R2) might be a bit broken and certain games like GTAV have a different pressure sensitivity. I recalled not being able to accelerate my car at all when I tried Crew 2's beta.

@RogerRoger @Kidfried Yeah, it still works but not a 100% guaranteed even for MHW. I'm just waiting to see if there is a sale from any the local retailers over here.

Carpal Tunnel sucks.

@AdamantiumClaws Do you need surgery?

So I was browsing online, looking for some good deals on Darksiders. But man, there's no consistency in their box art. It's an absolute mess. They can't even decide on a font for the game's title.

@Octane

@kyleforrester87 lol, true, and I hate it too

At least it's not as bad as Alien > Aliens > Alien³ > Alien Resurrection > Prometheus > Alien: Covenant.

Pick one, and stick with it!

Got my license earlier in the year, but I’ve only started driving a couple of months ago.
Got my first fine today...£60 for driving in a bus lane...argghhhhhh!!

Down to £30 if paid within 28 days, but that’s ruined my entire day 😑.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Then why did ya drive on a bus lane?

@Octane I was still learning the roads! A lot of the bus lanes towards my work are suspended, but I guess I got caught out on one that wasn’t... .
Live & Learn.

Not sure yet, I have't been formally diagnosed. I plan on seeing a doctor soon. I just that it has been impeding my gaming massively. A lot of games are fine, but RPGs tend to make you button mash one or two buttons and they destroy me.

@kyleforrester87 I can never look at the Resi Evil 6 logo again after somone pointed out what the 6 resembles....

Hopefully I can get some methods to cope from a doctor or something. But most games don't irritate too much, it's just ones like Kingdom Hearts and Mario and Luigi series that do it, where you have to button mash or press the same button repeatedly. I never really had issues with Fallout when I played it. But most other RPG's seem to like to make you button mash.

@JohnnyShoulder haha. I find it's easier to just start finding giraffes sexy.

@AdamantiumClaws My mum needed surgery and it took one month to fully recover and now it's all fine. Consider she was 50 and it was due to hard manual work. If you are young and the problem is just started then medicines and orthopedic supports could be enough.

@AdamantiumClaws @andreoni79 i had surgery to fix mine a few years ago and it took about a month to recover, i worked in the Engineering sector, that's how mine developed

on a side note i was able to start drawing again afterwards too

EDIT, here is one of my pictures if your intrested

@RogerRoger Yeah it does seem that JRPG's are the worst offenders. Luckily it's not a genre I get into too much so that's good.

Thanks for all the support guys, I feel less worried now. I'm glad I found this forum.

Just signed up to to the Xbox game pass for 2 months for £2. I was looking at the Masterchief collection as I fancy playing the Halo campaigns but I have read it is going to game pass on 1st Sept. All I need to do is remember to cancel it! Anyone else subscribed?

@Rudy_Manchego i tried it and it was OK but i ultimately decided not to keep it, i have enough games in my backlog as it is to finish so i didn't want to be paying for a service i wouldn't be using much as it just seemed like a waste of money for me

plus i don't like the thought of having NO control over my games
