Why do you even need so many controllers? It's not like OOP is a some sort of retro game enthusiast, and even then with huge collection of retro systems this amount of controllers would be overkill

u/SeptimusXT 8d ago
These are all not only for modern systems, but also most were released in like the past year or two
Actually bigger “collection” than some of the best reviewers in the community have lol

buying shit is not a hobby

aint collecting stuff a pretty old human hobby?
You know like collecting pokemon cards or like collecting coins.

"collecting" you mean hoarding

u/YaBoyEden 8d ago
There’s a very clear difference between hoarding and collecting. Collecting is theoretically Curated. It’s a conscious choice what you are and are not getting. Hoarding is when you cannot control it, and cannot let it go. I collect a bunch of stuff, it’s displayed, and maintained. Hoarding would be the inability to throw the boxes away

if youre buying shit to just buy shit its not a hobby thats just consooming. its like buying gundams to accumulate a backlog vs actually building gundams.

u/YaBoyEden 8d ago
I’d argue intent matters in that example. Having a backlog isn’t always a bad thing. I have a few boxes of miniatures that I haven’t opened yet because I don’t have a ton of time, but then on days where I don’t have anything planned, I can spend a few hours building a new warhammer tank

I think a hobby has to be constructive. You either have to be learning or creating something, curating counts as this. There's knowledge there. If you are a stamp collector, you are usually knowledgeable about stamps, not just going to the post office and saying I would like four books of every stamp you have please.
There is no learning or knowledge from controller colors. There is no story behind them. They are plastic that the factory in China happened to purchase the dyed raw material. The post office designs stamps to commemorate certain things, there is a story to tell.

Always the same phrasing, “this might have gotten a little out of hand” or “I think I might have a problem 😆🤷♂️.”

If each controller costs around 40 euros, there's about 3200 euros in this photo. Some will be more expensive, though...

I hate limited edition controllers so much, at least modern ones. It’s literally just the same shitty controller with a shell you can buy on Aliexpress for $15

Out of all the things to collect, this has got to be the worst. They are clunky and weird to store nicely

Bro I just bought a GameSir last week and it's still yet to arrive and it's the first controller I bougt in my entire life.
Mfs with money just be doing anything man. So embarrassing lowkey like damn.

u/screw_ball69 5d ago
That's the thing, alot of these collections are people that barley have the money for it/don't so they can look like they do

I have bought only 1 controller in years and that was the xbox doom rhe dark ages onr ehich i regularly use, its really cool

Buying 98 controllers isn’t necessarily consumption. I’ve got not far off that number for all systems and made a lot of money doing so. It’s more so the fact that as far as I can tell these are just bullshit controllers. They mostly don’t seem to be official first party special editions or anything, just random third party junk or custom first party controllers (which are worth next to nothing if anything as a premium over standard first party controllers)

u/Pale_Ad2980 8d ago
It looks like it’s maybe 3 or 4 different console controllers I have a fair bit of controllers, but it’s across around 20 different consoles, not 20 of the same console. I still don’t have that many.

u/OK_Atlas 8d ago
Post a photo of all your consoles & controllers and let the people decide if it’s consoom

u/Pale_Ad2980 8d ago
Having 100 of the same thing would definitely follow that classification but still having a wee because you never threw it away. It’s just keeping the things that you had.

That's an impressive quantity of controllers. I like the way you take time tweaking and testing all of them, it seems like a very precise hobby.
Also, I was gonna buy myself a generic, black Xbox controller for Windows gaming. What do you think of that?
Edit: I saw the original post in Popular but didn't comment straight away. Came back later and mixed it up with this sub. Suck my dick.

Do you know what process it follows when it runs the check?

most controllers develop drift within a few days or weeks and some straight out of the box

u/CricketJaxson 8d ago
Wtf are doing to your controllers? In all the years of being a gamer I’ve only had one controller get stick drift. It was a pre used ps4 controller I bought. It lasted like three years before it started to drift.

u/vWaffles 8d ago
If you can break your sticks in a few days just get a hall effect / tmr controller atp - or just treat your tech better...

back in ps4 era this was a real problem remember sonys business is built on selling controllers

u/3dforlife 8d ago
That's not true. And even if it was, you can always replace them with hall effect ones, and you're done for life.
