I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife

Been curious about this for a while. How do you grab that gamepad?
 
I can't get on with 4 shoulder buttons at once, it doesn't feel right. The Steam Controller feels like it wants to be held that way but it's alien to me

I only ever see it held like that in movies or TV shows when actors pretend they're playing a game.
 
Interestingly there were some video extras in The Two Towers video game on PS2.

From memory Sir Ian McKellin was talking to the camera and playing at the same time. He was holding his controller vertically instead of horizontally but was still somehow managing to play.

Me and my brother found that pretty hilarious.
 
It's strange, only thumbs on the joystick, right hand on the buttons, index finger of both hands on the upper buttons...

The other 3 fingers on the back.

If it is a Mecha game, I change it 4 fingers on each top button.
 
Depends on what I'm playing. Top image for most games, claw grip for fighters, bottom image for driving games if bumpers are for shifting and triggers are acceleration and brake. But I prefer a controller with back paddles for driving games so I rarely do the bottom image.
 
Normally most of the time, but there are moments when I clawgrip, especially in games like Melee.
 
the normal way...

that second one is for real some shit you only see in movies where someone who never used a controller is mimicking playing a game, probably looking down on the controller every 5 seconds

Nah for those instances they hold it with all fingers on back and none on the shoulder.

fun thing is most gamepads seem to be designed to be held like the bottom image.
i think xbox got it right by making the top shoulder buttons "bump" buttons you just slide your finger to tap them. whereas PlayStation and Nintendo shaped them in a way to be pressed instead.
 
First one, I think they are deisgned that way. P.S I also bite my skin around my nails, not the nails themselves but the skin, bad habit trying to stop.
 
Uh, I use paddles on Elite V2, so:

thumbs on sticks
index fingers on triggers
middle and ring fingers on paddles
little fingers grabbing the controller for support.
