Escape From Tarkov Caused Damage To The Industry As Extraction Shooter Is Now Everywhere, Says New Blood Interactive CEOFromSoftware's upcoming Switch 2-exclusive title, The Duskbloods, raised some concerns due to its exclusivity on the upcoming Switch 2 and the multiplayer-focused gameplay.Dave Oshry, co-founder and CEO of New Blood Interactive, was disappointed to find out that it was an "eight-person Battle Royale thing." In a podcast, he said, "Tarkov has done irreparable f**king damage to the game industry," because lots of games are seemingly trying to catch this trend.

Bman94 Member Oct 28, 2017 2,600 I'm a big fan of Fighters and Platformers. I'm excited for the Switch 2 Edition of Street Fighter 6, since it looks to be a very competent port of the game and I love playing Dragon Ball Fighterz on the go. It's just so incredibly disappointing that Nintendo hasn't sold a left Joycon for a cheaper price that has a Nintendo specific D-Pad instead of the face buttons. If I remember correctly it took a while before 3rd parties got their hand on making a left Joycon with a D-Pad, and even then, they never felt as good as a Nintendo D-Pad. Do people not want this? I would have thought after 8 years there would have been more of a outcry on no proper D-Pad solution but I guess I'm in the minority.   cardboardboxer Member Oct 28, 2017 3,210 I love the D Pad on my Hori Compact Pro. Yeah yeah no HD Rumble no Gyro, I still use it in handheld mode 99% of the time because its so comfortable and the D Pad rocks. Can't wait for the Switch 2 to get its equivelent, hope it doesn't take four years again.  joffocakes Member Nov 15, 2017 1,920 The original Switch one was great for games like Mario, Celeste, Hollow Knight etc but I definitely had to be quite deliberate with it when playing Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, particularly half-circle motions. Interested to see how the new one holds up for SF6 training.  Jimnymebob Member Oct 26, 2017 21,938 Yeah, it's awful, and it's one of the main reasons I hardly ever use my Switch in handheld mode, and don't have a bunch of 2D platformers and fighting games for it. I feel like everyone who likes the Joy-Con d-pad should be forced by law to use a horizontal Joy-Con when playing multiplayer, and not being allowed to fob it off to whoever they're playing with while they use the Pro Controller.  Audiblee Member Mar 14, 2025 802 I expect we'll go another 7 or 8.   brinstar Member Oct 25, 2017 11,976 Yeah, I had the Hori Zelda one but it's missing features. I wish they'd make an official one.   Darkreaver Member Feb 16, 2024 724 All e official dpads are garbage. I'm a hardcore fightgame player and i always focussed on 8bitdo. Anyway, maybe the switch 2 pro controller is fixed. There are btw options for switch 1 btw. So will be for switch 2. Just not official. But lets be honest, why should we care about official anyway?  Dash Kappei Member Nov 1, 2017 5,498 Yeah, and while I'm thankful we at least had Hori's, the lack of wireless functionality meant I couldn't use it to play shmups/pinball in TATE on Flip Grip… I wished so much for an official Joycon w/ Dpad :-/   Kenny_Blankenship Member Jun 1, 2023 2,299 I don't think that was ever an expectation given the joycon's functionality.   TheAggroCraig This guy are sick of the One Winged Slayer Member Nov 6, 2017 7,171 This is NES joycon erasure   Shoichi Member Jan 10, 2018 12,271 within the first few months of owning it, I modded my left joycon to have a dpad. Had to put it back to how it was originally though as the split joycon usage with others was used more than I thought especially on traveling and dpad prevented it and didn't really want to buy another set at the time. I wish Nintendo would just sell an official variant of the joycon in stores with a dpad setup.  Last edited: Yesterday at 3:45 PM Lant_War Classic Anus Game The Fallen Jul 14, 2018 25,084 Kinda surprised nintendo never made a "dpad-centric" joycon for the switch that had a traditional dpad on top   SixelAlexiS Member Oct 27, 2017 9,037 Italy Kenny_Blankenship said: I don't think that was ever an expectation given the joycon's functionality.

Not so much for the D-Pad, although that would be nice, but because I would love a split controller with better ergonomics and bluetooth. Hopefully the Bluetooth won't suck on the new ones.   Derbel McDillet ▲ Legend ▲ Member Nov 23, 2022 23,125 Agreed, but I've just made due with the Switch Lite. Hate to buy the console twice, but as a hybrid it really doesn't work for me (size, weight and yes, the "d-pad". Looking forward to that Switch Lite 2 in 2028.

A middle ground solution is to give an option of a d-pad joycon but at that point I'd rather be spending my money on much better quality from third party providers anyway.   Hamlock Member Oct 7, 2021 169 Sacrificing the d-pad for horizontal joycon was probably worth it for people who don't have a lot of money to spend on extra controllers   Lightsong Member Nov 11, 2022 8,985 Join me: Abandon the D-Pad, embrace the Joy-Stick!   TigerGD Member Oct 29, 2017 287 I just wish they would have added analog triggers for the Switch 2. 🤷   Derbel McDillet ▲ Legend ▲ Member Nov 23, 2022 23,125 Kenny_Blankenship said: As a want from certain fans or a legitimate possibility?

Could they just not have put a D pad on the left and still allowed people to press directions like buttons when it gets used like that the rare times it's needed?  JuniperAndSage Member Dec 27, 2019 6,885 Seattle TheLastOfPizzaCrUSt said: I was thinking of a Switch controller for PC gaming, is the dpad that bad?

Sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is sitting right in front of you. If your problem is that you need a webcam, you can try using your Android phone for the job instead of buying a dedicated device. This is especially useful if you have a spare Android phone lying around and you need it for video calls on your PC or Mac. You can also use your primary Android phone as a webcam, but its utility will be limited since you'll have to keep unplugging it, remembering to put it into do not disturb, or turning on airplane mode to ensure that your video call isn't interrupted. Here are all the ways you can use your Android phone as a webcam.Use the webcam mode on your Android phoneAs long as you have a phone running Android 14 or newer, you can use the built-in webcam mode on it. This is as easy as using a USB cable to connect your phone to a computer and enabling webcam mode. Here's what you need to do:Unlock your Android phone and use a USB cable that supports data transfer to connect it to your PC or Mac. The moment your phone is connected, you'll see a USB mode notification that will tells you the phone is currently charging. Tap this alert and select Webcam.This puts your phone in webcam mode and displays a notification with additional info. Tap the notification to see the viewfinder and adjust the frame to your liking. On your PC or Mac, open any video calling app, and under camera options, you'll see Android Device or Android Webcam as an available camera. Select this to have your phone serve as your webcam.Be sure to disable all notifications on your phone or put it in airplane mode in order to avoid interruptions. If someone calls your phone when it's being used as a webcam, your video call will be paused, and it'll only resume once the phone call has been disconnected. Using third-party apps to turn your Android phone into a webcam Credit: Camo The built-in method works great on Pixel devices and other phones running stock Android, but it may not always work correctly if your phone has a heavily customized Android variant. It's also not an option for people who use phones with older versions of Android, which is a good enough reason to turn to third-party apps to get the job done.The good old DroidCam (free, ad-supported) or its paid variant, DroidCamX ($5), are both quite handy for this job. Install the client on your PC or Linux computer and follow the on-screen instructions to set up the app on both devices. The advantage here is that you can connect over wifi and a USB cable, whereas the built-in method is wired only. The free version has ads and limitations that don't let you rotate or flip the camera, but otherwise, it's good enough for most people. There are no watermarks or other usage-related limitations in the free version.Camo is an extremely feature rich alternative for using your Android phone as a webcam. You can use this app with both Windows and Mac, which may appeal to a larger audience, since DroidCam lacks a Mac app. The app is free to use for up to 720p video, which is honestly good enough for video calls, but if you need up to 4K video for your webcam, you can subscribe to the pro tier ($50/year).This app supports both wifi and USB connectivity, but the developers recommend USB for initial setup and better performance, including lower latency. The setup is quite straightforward—just install the app on your phone and on Mac or Windows, connect your Android phone to your computer via USB, and follow the on-screen instructions. The advantage of using Camo is that it's not just a bridging app that connects your phone to the PC. It also works with dedicated webcams and features video effects such as Portrait mode (to blur the background) and lighting effects. It also lets you adjust the resolution, frame rate, and focus point in your videos. For more, read Camo's official guide to adjusting video settings.

This is a discount of 47 percent, which is more than $650 off the regular price of $1,400. The Roomba Combo 10 Max is the company’s most premium model and filled to the brim with high-tech advancements. This is a hybrid unit, so it vacuums and mops. However, the model goes even further and can actually wash and dry the mopping pad. This is something that had to be done manually with previous hybrid vacuums. It also automatically refills the mopping solution tank and can dump dirt from the dock into an enclosed bag for easy disposal. There’s an affiliated app that lets folks know when it’s time for a manual maintenance task. The mopping tank holds enough water for seven continuous days of use. The vacuum portion boosts suction power when on top of a carpet, which is nice, and it automatically retracts the mopping system to avoid accidental spillage. It can vacuum and mop simultaneously on hard floors. This is a near-perfect robovac with all kinds of bells and whistles, but there’s one major drawback. As previously mentioned, the regular price of this thing is a whopping $1,400. That’s nearly the equivalent of a new MacBook Pro. Thank goodness for today’s deal, which makes things much more palatable.

Start with transparency and honesty, and the rest will follow, Adobe SVP tells us.

Robert Bordone is a negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolution expert who founded Harvard Law School’s Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program as well as the Cambridge Negotiation Institute. He was a professor at Harvard for many years and is currently a senior fellow at Harvard Law School. Dr. Joel Salinas is a behavioral neurologist and scientist. He was formerly a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and a clinical associate professor of neurology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He was the founded and was chief medical officer at Isaac Health. What’s the big idea? Instead of seeing conflict as a battle to win or a mess to avoid, disagreement can be navigated in a way that creates connection and positive outcomes—on both a business financial level and a relational one. There is value to emerging from our cocoons of comfort in search of the benefits that honest, direct, and courageous engagement with conflict can bring. Conflict Resilience provides usable and scientifically validated strategies to negotiate disagreements with greater confidence and clarity. Whether it’s in your workplace, family, or community, learning to sit with and grow from conflict can create value in every aspect of your life. Below, coauthors Bordone and Salinas share five key insights from their new book, Conflict Resilience: Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In. Listen to the audio version—read by both authors—in the Next Big Idea app. 1. Your brain treats conflict like a physical threat. When faced with conflict, the brain reacts as if we’re under physical attack. The same neural circuits that process physical pain are involved when we experience social rejection or disagreement. This can trigger our fight-flight-freeze-fawn-fester responses, making us either overly aggressive, avoidant, or stuck in rumination. From a Darwinian perspective, these five responses could have a lot of value when under attack with an existential threat. But in the context of modern day-to-day relationships with family, friends, or colleagues, these brain responses can backfire. The brain’s automatic effort to protect us from discomfort in the moment prevents us from responding in ways that better serve our longer-term interests. The key to conflict resilience is recognizing these automatic reactions, being able to pause and assess whether the in-the-moment threat is real or just discomfort, and then being able to deploy strategies to sit with the discomfort because of what we call the Bigger Better Offer on the other side of conflict. 2. Conflict avoidance makes things worse. When we avoid the discomfort of disagreement by walking away, canceling plans, or changing the topic, we often just amplify the problem over time. It’s understandable why you might shy away from tough conversations with your cousin about conflicting political views. You value the relationship and wish to prevent the disagreement from causing harm. While this strategy may help us navigate Thanksgiving dinner, in the long run, avoidance leaves us feeling less connected to that cousin. Prolonged avoidance makes us feel that we don’t even know each other. Spending time with them feels painful and fake. Eventually, the connection fades. The instinct to avoid for the sake of preserving a relationship ends up being the long-term kill. Our society is set up to aid and abet the avoidance tendency—social media, demographic changes, trigger warnings, cancel culture—all make it super easy to avoid and just hang out with those who think like us. As we see in our polarized world, this path dehumanizes and distances. Just like avoiding exercise weakens muscles, avoiding difficult conversations weakens our ability to navigate disagreements. By learning to name what’s happening—our emotions, triggers, and fears—we can take control instead of letting conflict control us. 3. Curiosity is your best conflict tool. We tend to enter conflict assuming we already know the other person’s perspective. But true conflict resilience comes from curiosity. Instead of debating or defending, try exploring: Ask open-ended questions, listen deeply, and seek to understand before being understood. When people feel heard, difficult conversations become more productive. It’s easy to say be curious, but it’s hard to do when we feel like we really do know what the other side thinks. Psychological biases tend to make us certain about how those we disagree with think, even when the truth is that we are often missing a lot of important information that can unlock the door to how they think, what matters to them, how to persuade them, and how better to connect with them. In our book, we share real-life examples of how cultivating curiosity led to breakthroughs in relationships, negotiations, and deal-making. As we explore the deeper perspectives of those with whom we disagree, the possibilities for connection grow, even if we still don’t see eye-to-eye. 4. Discomfort is not damaging. One of the biggest myths about conflict is that it’s inherently bad or destructive. In our professional work, we are constantly frustrated when people talk about “eliminating” or “reducing” conflict. Healthy conflict is a sign that folks feel free enough to be themselves and that there is enough diversity in the room to make life interesting and vibrant. Disagreement itself doesn’t have to lead to division. Tension can lead to growth—both personally and in relationships. We talk about how to stay in conflict to achieve the Bigger Better Offer. We also offer evidence-based tools to help you decide when to commit to stay engaged and when to draw the line between discomfort for growth and submitting yourself to ongoing harm or trauma. It’s a hard line to draw, but an important one. 5. Resilience is a skill you can build. Conflict resilience isn’t something we’re naturally good at. Each of us may be more or less conflict-resilient because of our upbringing, personality, and disposition. But whether you think you are super conflict-resilient or completely avoidant, you can get better with practice. Through small, daily actions—like pausing before reacting, naming your emotions, and shifting from defensiveness to curiosity—you can transform conflict from a source of stress into an opportunity for connection and change. The more you practice, the more you’ll see improved relationships, connections, and outcomes. And the more you practice, the easier it becomes.
