Day Four

185 words.

Okay I’m getting pretty impatient now. I want to be fully recovered right now please.

The new eye is better after another day, but still a bit blurry and hard to focus on a computer monitor for any amount of time, especially text. It gets better every day, but it’s still a chore.

I can see the television from a chair halfway across the room fine, though, so I’ve been watching (and re-watching, in fact) The Americans, and I started playing a little bit of The Last Of Us (Remastered) on the PS4.

I only played for an hour or so today, but I can already tell that if I were to play a a lot all at once I would probably hurt my left thumb again. I don’t know if it’s the terrible PS4 controller layout or what. (I never had a problem with an Xbox 360 controller.) My thumb just isn’t built right for reaching so far sideways to move that left stick. It never really occurred to me to consider the controller layout as the most important factor in buying a console.

Even though the last console I owned was an Atari 2600, as soon as I read the above i thought “I bet you can use an XBox 360 controller on a PS4” so I googled it and you can. Plenty of people say you can’t but apparently they are wrong because Amazon sells a converter that has plenty of comments confirming it works: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gam3Gear-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01HNJEKHE

There are a number of other options too, including a PS4 controller for children and anyone with small hands: https://kotaku.com/theres-now-a-ps4-controller-for-tiny-hands-1819662910

Not that I think you don’t know how to google…
