I always wondered why my mom kept using her favourite saying when I was a kid with a single parent and times were tough, which they usually were.
I understand now: “Kyk noord en F& voort”

Do you specifically want an Xbone controller? Cause I’ve got a PDP controller that works just the same as an Xbone only thing is it’s wired and not wireless.

(not so) Happy load shedding!

That’s why I asked about the quality of the PDP controller. Is the build decent and is the rumble accurate?

I think their maintenance strategy may be run to failure also known as no scheduled maintenance.

More than most they suffer from “cover your ass” syndrome, with good reason I suppose.

Yeah, sorry to have come in all grumpy and irritable this morning. Didn’t mean to spread a pall of gloom on everyone else’s Spring Day. (But having quit smoking and being on my lockdown lard must fall diet and trying to reduce my caffeine intake, I’m seriously starting to understand the appeal of day drinking!)
I have taken some deep breaths, gulped down a protein shake, and commit to spreading my normal cheer for the rest of the day. Huzzah!

I know for a fact that it’s not run to failure (maintenance is my industry), but the scheduled maintenance was taking a knock during lockdown due to resources availability as well as cashflow. Hopefully they’ll soon sort out their maintenance strategies to be more suitable.

I was being (slightly) facetious.

On some level I realized that, but I had to pipe up, being as pedantic as only an engineer can be

So I buckled and got the Cyberpunk 2077 XBOX One controller that is on sale today at Takealot. I really liked the design of it, but close to 2 grand was a bit much. Since they dropped the price to R150 more than their standard controller, I couldn’t resist anymore. Plus they have stock in CPT and I’ll hopefully get it tomorrow! So there’s my wedding anniversary gift sorted!
