I want to get some recommendations on hardware (controllers) and games. Here’s my lunch time idea. Right now I got a high power 1080p projector that we watch movies on every night. Let’s say I got 8 players and a run of the mill computer. It does have a midrange nvidia card and AMD processor but let’s ignore that. What simple family games could we all play together on the same screen. For example sometimes we hookup the Nintendo (will never buy a thing from them due to being an asshole company now) and we play smash brothers or some of the various racing games. I would like to stay on Linux and see what options there are for a single screen multiplayer fun game, and what controllers from Amazon… Hopefully cheap…are available.

    Anbernic controllers really don’t get enough attention. I’ve got a bunch of them and they’re great.

    Cheap enough that you can buy in bulk and better than an Xbox, or DS5 controller, which is what I was using previously.

    They have all the things I want. Namely, gyro, programmable back buttons, and hall effect sticks and triggers. They’re also widely compatible, and I’ve had no trouble connecting them to anything, including a Switch and a Linux machine.
