Three weeks is rough but honestly @miles_perez I'm not that shocked... most these "pro" controllers are just regular parts in a fancy shell with a high price tag. I had a $200 one from a big brand that started creaking after a month, felt like cheap plastic inside. Think companies know people will pay for the brand name and features without really testing the durability first.

Wait, isn't the gauge line what everyone's supposed to use?

...and it's honestly kind of funny how we'll spend a hundred bucks on dice but balk at a three dollar felt tray to keep them from rolling off the table. Your post got me thinking about this bigger pattern I see everywhere. People overcomplicate stuff trying to find the perfect solution when the cheap, simple fix was right in front of them the whole time. My buddy spent weeks looking at fancy dice towers and ended up using a cardboard box lid with a towel in it. Works just as good for zero dollars. It's like how everyone buys those expensive dice bags but a ziploc baggie does the same thing. Not saying the fancy stuff isn't nice, just that sometimes we overlook the easy answer.

Trying to tune out the noise is what actually helped me. I just stopped engaging with the conspiracy stuff altogether after a while. Unfollowed a few people who kept posting it, muted a couple of keywords, and stuck to my own little bubble of gardening groups and recipe blogs. Made a HUGE difference in my headspace. Now when I see crap like this, I just scroll on by.
