It is a PC controller from the Xbox 360 era, which you can tell by the fact it still has a switch between DInput and XInput. In short, DInput is the controller API Microsoft used since the 90's and XInput is their "new" API from 2005. XInput allows for less supported buttons and axis' (limited to what the X360 controller had) compared to DInput where all buttons were marked as 1. 2, 3 and you had to manually map them, but it allows for easier implementation by game devs to make sure that your controller will be properly mapped from the start. Ever since then XInput is the de facto standard and Windows automatically converts XInput to DInput in older games, so you don't even really need a physical API switch to use a modern controller in older games.

NGL I actually really like my Logitech controller because it's the only controller I can find that has a physical switch to use Dinput so I can play Need for Speed 2 for Windows 98. It feels cheap as shit, but it outlasted my PS3 controller which started to get stick drift a while back. Overall I really like the controller and think it still has it's place in the market as something for someone who doesn't need any expensive bells and whistles...

But holy shit lol, an expensive submarine isn't something you want to cheap out on. I would never imagine the same thing I use to dogfight in War Thunder and GTA Online would be used to pilot an actual submarine.

The fate of the submersible was pretty obvious from the very beginning. No serious expert thought there was any real chance of it being anything other than an implosion, but many like James Cameron and even the US Navy held off saying so until it could be confirmed 100%. It is frustrating people were given false hope with the "banging every 30 minutes" that was neither classified as banging nor consistently "every 30 minutes". The banging is now thought to be noise from the Titanic wreck.

From the glass port hole only being rated to 1300 meters to the composite carbon fiber hull which was universally criticized as total garbage. This is because carbon fiber does not deform when it fails, it shatters. Any minor defect whatsoever could have caused a catastrophic failure. Additionally any warning system they may have had on board could not have saved them quickly enough from a failure if it was detected.

This retired US Navy Submariner claims to have a contact close to the search who told them the last communications of the sub were of sinking too fast and trying to drop the ballast weights for an emergency ascent:


Sub Brief also has an excellent video on the topic and is a subject matter expert on submarines:

TLDR; OceanGate did not want to hire "old white guys" (experts). The sub was not accredited or tested thoroughly at depth. There were not adequate fail-safes in place. No way to ventilate. No direct voice communications (they used a system that allowed short text messages). The CEO cut a ton of corners.


James Cameron speaking out about the same issues today. Also mentions though they knew the obvious about an implosion they also wanted to make absolutely sure before destroying everyone's hopes:


The US Navy detected through SOSUS (sound surveillance system) a signature resembling an implosion on Sunday at the time of loss of communications. This is how the remotely operated vehicle they sent in knew exactly where to look:


The entire degenerate tard fest of the media tugging on people's heart strings and not reporting on the most likely scenario was malicious. The sub imploded when communication was lost 1 hour 45 minutes into the dive 8 hours before the media started reporting on it. End of story.

A bunch of omega brain armchair lawyers are talking about lawsuits now. The fact is the company does not have assets. They do not have money. They will probably file for bankruptcy. And every person on board signed a waiver that mentioned death at least 3 times and the fact it was an experimental craft with no accreditation.

An absolute disaster all around.

There's been no evidence that any of these people were pedophiles so I'm glad that their deaths were instantaneous rather than floating downward in a freezing, black void while they slowly asphyxiate.

Multiple of them were billionaires, and one was on the WEF. How much more evidence do you need?

Even a tiny bubble would greatly expand from the bottom of the sea so I would figure they would make their way to the surface eventually and surface near where the ship was.

tl;dr: There is no bubble, the gasses are quickly absorbed by the ocean. The "bubbles" contract because if your air was pressurized to ambient, at those depths you'd be dead. Oilrig dive workers are in pressurized atmosphere but they operate at less than half the depth of the titanic, and even then it can't be normal atmosphere, it needs to be an exotic mix of mostly helium. And even then, at those depths, bubbles would dissolve before making it to surface by the raw amount of ocean.

You are not wrong, however:
I have talked to people with underwater experience, some who know what a japanese ship sounds like imploding and they say it is very distinct - when you hear it, you don't have to be told what it is. Someone I talked to with more modern sonar experience speculated that given the depth, distance, and small size of the Titan (plus carbon fiber hull), it is likely the Sonar net operator had a good idea what he heard but couldn't say so with 100% certainty because of the small size of the vessel.

Still, the assumption should have been 'they dead' instead of the hope & cope we got.
But Biden needed a distraction from his son's degeneracy coming out in court.

I was thinking about how they found male passenger's shoes from 1912 at the Titanic wreck (the tannins presumably prevented biodegradation). With the two Pajeets dying, does that mean there will be two pairs of cheap non-biodegradable plastic flip-flops on the ocean floor now?

If the submarine imploded during that period of time...


What caused those sounds?

Speculation I heard: Debris chunks landing or otherwise banging together.
"After 4 days?" You ask, and the answer is "at two miles down, water under those pressures does some weird, wild shit"

There are weird noises at the bottom of the ocean all the time. Sound refracts through layers of water at different temperatures and pressures that distorts its origin. That's why the people who had maritime experience were betting on "the crabs are dining on billionaire pulled pork", and the noises being irrelevant.

People also tune into noise when they're looking for something and often end up attributing something they hear all the time to something it isn't. Like when the K-141 Курск submarine exploded, rescue operators thought they were hearing SOS signals being banged out on the hull, it was the rescue vessels own anchor chain.

You could die in a car crash driving to the convenience store. Niggas on the first page are all "why go to a place that has photos of it." Apparently never go on vacation.

Ah yes. This expedition is exactly the same as using a tried and true method of transportation to see something where you don't need a precision-engineered exoskeleton the entire time to ensure you don't die.

People are being deliberately obtuse about the kid though. Yes, 19 isn't babby age but they're still pea-brains.
