I'm working a pretty cushy job all things considered. Problem is, it leaves me little to no time for any of my hobbies (even on weekends). I'm paranoid that if I leave this job, I'll not find something as good again and this keeps me working to the bone.
Should I just accept the situation and sacrifice my hobbies at the altar of hellworld?
Hmm yeah I don't play those sort of games so I couldn't speak to how well it would work for them. Mostly I have used it to play various first person games: Minecraft, Dishonored 2, Fallout 4. They work pretty well as long as you don't try to use the Steam controller like a traditional controller - there's a regular joystick and a ABXY pad, and in most bindings I hardly touch them at all and basically use them as hotkeys. You have to embrace the (strange at first) touchpads and grips to really enjoy using the controller.
