  • You are thinking of analog triggers, which work fine over Bluetooth. Adaptive triggers is game-controlled resistance and feedback within the trigger. A rifle trigger, for example, is light at first, then when you get close to the firing point it gets heavy for a moment and then ‘breaks’, suddenly going all the way.

    This works on PC if you plug in via USB, but very few games support it on PC and Stam Input breaks it.

    Haptics are high-quality rumble. Rumble is basically just turning a motor on and off, often in a high and a low mode. Modern controllers drive vibration motors at varying levels using a sound signal, giving far more nuanced control. They often also have more motors that are independently controlled. This also works when plugged in via USB.


  • Peggle is part of the realm of games that became mobile games after modern smartphones became a thing. Casual gameplay, short levels so you could play for a few minutes and leave, lots of levels that are essentially the same to give good playtime for the development cost. Just on a PC and without the whale hunting that microtransactions later brought.




  • My situation was abnormal since I was running the procurement for food service at a zoo, so those photos were from my warehouse. It lets me joke about a level of organization basically no restaurant can have.

    We’d have to run a BIB across the park when someone forgot to ask for it the night before, so not everything was paradise.
