Housemate: "Getting that new X-wing flight sim?"

Reply: 4min long diatribe about how I tried to get the recent "ports" to work with a flight stick and it didn't and I hate everything, including Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (which I ACTUALLY love) all because that stick wouldn't work.

The short answer is just, actually, whether or not the fucking stick works

JUST. DESPITE. UGH. EA.

YES

OF COURSE.

I AM GETTING

THE NEW VERSION

OF THE FIRST GAME I EVER,

EVER,

EVER BEAT (BY MYSELF)

AS A KID.

X-Wing was so rad. I loved it. I wanted to be a pilot as a kid. My family is full of actual Naval Aviators, and I (unlike the kid from Little Miss Sunshine) KNEW that I couldn't be a combat pilot because of my eyesight.

So the next best thing was to be Luke goddamn Skywalker.

Yeah yeah yeah I hear you, "you can have corrected vision these days" but I would retort with, "Unless we hit Independence Day levels of requirement, I am also now too old to begin the training".

End of thread, probably.
