never thought i would feel these things towards my game controller yet here we are. expanding on this idea with a dualsense or steering wheel or anything with force feedback would go absolutely wild and i dunno how to feel about the fact that i'm having these ideas
now i can't help but think again about the god damn rez trance vibrator. they were really onto something huh
dualsense was the original target pad! part of what i allude to in "stuff you did before february" was exploring how the haptics and adaptive triggers work and looking into code examples of people interfacing with them in SDL. (The haptics are really just the two rear channels of the pad's speaker, or at least that's how they're exposed.) the first input surface i got responding to movement in the doomed SDL project was the touchpad. but well, of course, all that didn't work out.
