>>12316791>moving left
>>12316791I always interpreted it as flying through a wormhole or something.
>>12316878Your vehicle is clearly tumbling down a well.
>>12316791>not using a paddlei shiggy
>>12317064>calling a spinner a paddleYou are shiggy indeed
>>12315710Space Invaders in space
>>12317151It's a dial.
>>12315710Tempest is literally the best. It's from the early era of arcade when you can just FEEL the acid those devs did. If I'm ever MJ rich and can buy arcade cabinets this one is going in first
>>12317151those are colloquial. >>12317195 is technically correct too
>>12317064>>12317151>>12317195>>12317232uhm askcually it's a boundless potentiometer
its really called an ENCODER
>>12317232>colloquial"Paddle" was the name officially used by Atari for their main potentiometer-based controller.https://www.atariage.com/controller_page.php?SystemID=2600&ControllerID=2
>>12317232>>12317265>>12317282>>12317286Christ, anons. Paddles use pots, spinners use encoders.
>>12317195>>12317232>everyone, including the people who make it, calls it a spinner>but it's a dial because some kid says soThe only dial you smelly little kids need to concern yourself is pic related>>12317265>uhm askcually i'm boundless stupidityepic
>>12315710Shmups could never
>>12317542controls a paddle thus paddle controller. also atari called their spinner controller for indy 500 a "driving" controller but everyone else used the paddle controllers for driving games
>>12317561imagine being such a retarded zoomer you don't know the difference between pong and tempest.
>>12317734tempest was made by atari ya' puddle huffing gristle brain. embarassing post
>>12318157>i really am that stupidEmbarrassing post indeed.You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.
>>12318403>deflects and puffs chestEmpty words
>>12318409>copes and puffs weed>Empty headKeep digging that hole little zoomie. Or head back to tiktok until you've actually played any of the games you're pretending to be an expert on.
>>12318464Death awaits.
bump
>>12318676>Death awaits.Indeed
>>12315710tempest with cool visuals and music by crystal method
>>12317064>Paying $150 for a rotary encoder and a few buttons wired into a $1 microcontroller.LOL no. You can make your own for a fraction of that price.
I played Tempest on original Atari Jaguar last year and it really wasn't that good,
>>12319559Even worse, they keep calling it a spinner when it's really a paddle. Why do all the knowledgeable grownups keep calling it the wrong thing?
>>12319902The term is incorrectly used colloquially
>>12319917No. You're just a retarded child who's never used either and doesn't know the difference.
The spinner is the wheel itself, the paddle is the whole controller, button(s) included.
>>12319917 #Same as retro games. We discuss vintage games here. 20xx is a retro game. Shovel Knight is a retro game.
>>12320019based false flag
>>12320015Speak for yourself.
>>12321247>no uTruly the argument of an intelligent adultYour autism level must be >9k to be coping this long and hard about something you're so blatantly wrong about.
you faggots are all retarded and prolly dont even sweep moonsthose were always called paddle controllerseveryone who had an atari, had breakout, and thus had paddle controllers multiple if they wanted to play warlords and they were called paddle controllers, cuz you used them to control the paddle
>>12321472Indeed.I've seen spinner used in the context of arcade cabinets.PS: When are they fucking going to update 4chan to accept webp images.
>>12321472imagine pretending to be an oldfag expert and not knowing the difference between a paddle and a spinner.>>12321482>I've seen spinner used in the context of arcade cabinets.That was probably in the context of machines that used spinners instead of paddles.It truly is a sad sign of the times that so many children have never had the opportunity to play these great classics on original hardware, or even modern reproductions. With some games the experience simply can't even be remotely replicated using your 8shitdo.
>>12321601illuminate us with your unfathomable wisdom then, oh enlightened ̶c̶u̶n̶t̶ one
ntapaddle: limited rotation angles, absolute position, like a volume dialspinner: unlimited rotation angle, relative position, like a mouse wheel
>>12321482>When are they fucking going to update 4chan to accept webp images.Hopefully never, webp needs to die a painful death. Nobody asked for it, nobody outside of a tiny handful of autistic web designers likes it. The less anything supports it, the better.
>>12321472There was also the driving controller, which is what anons are calling "spinners." Though I've never heard anybody call them that, maybe it's a regional thing? I always heard them called dials in the handful of times I heard anybody talk about them in the arcades, but I also wouldn't be surprised if that was just my friend group's thing.
