Why would you want glasscock?? It might as well be Hancock. Who wants a glass dick?? Steel Ramrod. Decent. I named my penis The Shredder and my balls Bebop and Rocksteady. Girls are shocked when they see what they’ve described as, “I would feel ashamed every time I pulled my pants down, that sucks”, and “we could share underwear if you ever need”. Which I am ultimately super ashamed about, but I can’t work up the courage to lie, or be honest. So instead it’s almost like a bait and switch, but they can’t say nothing. Well, nothing more than they already do.

Draconic YT it’s not tho. It’s because your PS is having to use all its CPU and everything else to run the game so the fan gets loud and shit. Not because it’s not getting air circulation. Plus, there’s no vents underneath.

We get it, you ALL are “pro gamers/streamers” with “big brain” and gamertags likely ending in a YT or TTV, yet you’re lurking.🤦🏻‍♂️ It’s not like this content is monetized and you’re being bombarded with multiple ads.

[@timbrunner3347]

Probably not. May be some dirt and grime in your analog sticks. You would have to tear down your Controller and open the 2 latches of the analgo stick. This could need some cleaning. Did tha myself several times and worked 100%. But i cant guarantee for anything. There are some tutorials online.

[@littlehunter1955]

My friend once told me to blow into the sticks and it worked really wellz, try it.

I used to do that too. But usually its not a long time fix. Its not that hard, maybe you give it a shot. You just have to be careful and you will be good.

[@The_Black_Knight]

If your controller has persistent and constant centering or drift issues, this most likely means you need to CLEAN the controller contacts. Resetting the functionality is for simple calibrations are more importantly, connectivity.
