      it’d also actually be made to be on for extended amounts of time, with a proper big vibration motor.
      if you try to use a controller like this i’d bet it’ll burn itself out in an hour…

    To be fair, having recently been on the market for a proper vibrating sex toy, they’re expensive as fuck, and according to my ex-wife (ow. ex- still stings.) capable of providing mind-blowing orgasms. So yeah, for those without a budget, we make do with what we got, or the bargain bin at Good Vibes.

    TMI:

    spoiler

    The item in question doesn’t figure into why she’s ex- now, but the reason we were on the market for one absolutely does. I’ll be talking to an endocrinologist at the end of the year.

      They’re not more than a new controller for the basic rabbit style vibrating ones. Controllers start around $60 in USA. I could be off, I got two Xbox controllers a few years ago to play couch games via steam, I don’t own a console.

        Presumably Op already have the controller though. Hence the question about how to JO with it instead of asking for suggestions on what vibrator to buy.

          I was kinda talking for the future when it burns out. I don’t think they are normally used in an “on” position for super long periods of time. I could be wrong. But vibrators aren’t super expensive.

    So this brings up a funny story.

    IDK when, but I was on a trip, thinking about my ex wife(then girlfriend at the time) with my parents somewhere and they had these vibrating back massager things. Usually they’re like 4 wooden balls on sticks attached to a wooden handle. I knew how much my ex loved it. Anyway I thought “dude fucking brilliant” and I bought it for her and my parents were like: “Uh, ok? You sure she’s going to like that?” “I’m like are you kidding me? The number of times I have to get sore hands from giving her a back massage is incredible!” Oh, I’m like 15 at the time.

    Well, I gift it to her, and with the smallest hint of embarrassment says she absolutely loves it. That night she thanks me again, saying it made things so much easier, in kind of a flirty tone. I completely miss all social cues always so this didn’t register. Sometime later I come over and she wants one of the back rubs, and I’m like “hey, grab that tool I got!”

    She responds with “I’m not in the mood for that, besides it’s out of batteries.”

    I thought I was going to fold into myself. “How many back rubs have you given yourself?” “Oh, like none. Just the fun stuff.” The heaviest levels of cringe hit, knowing how many people saw me buying this for my girlfriend completely oblivious to what it would be used for.

    I remember when the Xbox360 released their little indie game section there were multiple “controller vibration tests” that were like a dollar.

    I had proper equipment by then, but I could see the appeal for someone who was in a different situation.

        At least there was button tapping to power up so there was SOMETHING to do during the forever animations

        I imagine that’s a design consideration.- same with Ultima and other big spells. You get a big payoff after a big wind-up. It’s trying to telegraph that if you want speed you should build your party differently using junctions

          I forget which game, but it had two different durations of summon/cast. The first time was always the long one, then youd regularly get the short one, youd randomly “crit” and get the long one, which did more damage.

        I was obsessed with that game when it came out. Just played it again, and it’s actually pretty bad. Even without using summons at all, and with emulator fast-forward on most of the time, it’s almost unbearably slow and tedious.

      You missed out on the tomb raider demo disc that came with PlayStation magazine (probably issue 73 based on the fact I have it and I wasn’t subscribed very long while demo discs were a thing) Same era.

      If you went for a swim in the pool, and swam into the side, you’d not only get a constant intense vibration, you’d also get to see her swimming motion, and I don’t think it had breath mechanics yet (or at least she wouldn’t die in the demo zone), so you could take your time. Win win.

      There was also a vibration test in the menu if you just wanted no frills.

    The trick is to find a game that has a mounted turret with infinite ammo and then tape the button down. The Warthog in Halo, or the Street Sweeper in Mercenaries (with the infinite ammo cheat on).

    I remember there being a cut-scene in something that was basically just this - might have been The Last Guardian. All it takes is the right save file.

    In Baldurs Gate 3 the controller vibrates when you’re choosing a target to cast a spell on, you could just hit R1 and leave it there…
