The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion has filed a more than $50 million lawsuit, saying the crew experienced “terror and mental anguish” before the disaster and accusing the sub’s operator of gross negligence.
Paul-Henri Nargeolet was among five people who died when the Titan submersible implodedduring a voyage to the famed Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic in June 2023. No one survived the trip aboard the experimental submersible owned by OceanGate, a company in Washington state that has since suspended operations.
I’m pretty sure the US military adopted the use of Xbox 360 controllers for a lot of things as well, because of the reasons you mentioned.
Ergonomic, comfortable in the hands, intuitive.
Another one for the military is that the vast majority of their recruits would already be intimately familiar with the interface, and not need to train muscle memory for it.
Is it just me, or does anyone else also do a double-take to this day every time somebody calls an Xbox controller “ergonomic,” because they think back to the original? It’s especially memorable to me because of how Penny Arcade lampooned it:
I very clearly said “Xbox 360 controller”
Not sure why you brought up the og.
Because it makes me think of it. Is that so wrong?
I was in the minority in that I loved those bigass controllers. GunValkyrie was also amazing once you learned that you’re supposed to be playing the game almost entirely in the air.
