Does that controller work with one of 8bitdo’s wireless dongles? They’re pretty cheap - I paid around £8 for mine a few years back - but it will need a USB-A port free. Might be a stopgap so you can decide if something else better suits your needs.

He always looks like he’s received a surprise prostate examination and the doctor had cold hands.

Every actor in ‘Still Wakes the Deep’. I don’t usually like that type of game - you don’t really have a great deal of agency, you can’t fight only run, there are sudden deaths in some sections - but the overall atmosphere, the design, and that perfect voice casting drew me in.

Yes, ‘sausage’ is definitely used more for the description of a shape than for what out contains. It would make more sense for ‘burger’ to be used to describe the shape too, i.e. a synonym for the word ‘patty’, which makes it sound too close to ‘pat’, as in ‘what cows leave in fields’.
