Best buy was the culprit.... I feel like I've generally had good luck with open box stuff otherwise though.
You know, previous to the current generation of consoles, I thought FOR SURE that back-paddles/buttons would become the next standardized iteration. Controller innovation over the last TWO generations I'd argue, has been really lacking in my opinion.
Patience, I guess. I've been waiting for literal fucking years at this point. A few more won't hurt I suppose.
The Ara definitely seemed like a good thing, for repairability. I'm of the 'fuck anything google' mindset though.
The 'framework' laptop also comes to mind.
Yep, double shitty. Makes me want to start sailing. π΄ββ οΈ
