The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion has filed a more than $50 million lawsuit, saying the crew experienced “terror and mental anguish” before the disaster and accusing the sub’s operator of gross negligence.

Paul-Henri Nargeolet was among five people who died when the Titan submersible implodedduring a voyage to the famed Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic in June 2023. No one survived the trip aboard the experimental submersible owned by OceanGate, a company in Washington state that has since suspended operations.

    Not even the N64 one, the analog stick ground down the surface material underneath the stick, with time leading to stick-drift. One could field-strip the analog stick and remove the ground materials from it, but the lack of material would have diminishing accuracy returns. The sticks wouldn’t necessarily drift but they’d be flappy as fuck. Reminds me, I gotta see if this random Internet seller is selling those again to refurb some controllers…

      N64 recentered the analog stick on startup. If you were holding the stick in any direction when you started it then that position would be center and allowing the stick to return to physical center would actually be moving in a direction.
