Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

When that door is closed, you're forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.

You say "forced to", he says "able to" 🤷

Bathroom design advice: don’t hang mirrors facing toilets.

Unless you're into that shit, pun intended..

Ok but playing a game through a mirror would be hard af

Solution: play through two mirrors

Not on the GameCube tho, where button remapping involves a soldering iron or a custom PCB.

There are quite a lot of GameCube games that let you invert the camera controls. But I'm not aware of any that would let you invert the left analog stick

Is that Metroid Prime? Especially Metroid Prime.

My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

For those that don't care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

As someone who’s currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

I generally nut ropes, but mad props to a man who can nut logs
