Wazzat:
Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about his life. Octodad’s existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodan nature a secret from his human family.

Shadows appear as quivering pixels on my AMD using the open sauce drivers.
It defaults to full screen and disabled my external monitor in the process. I’m sorry but that shit just doesn’t fly around here, anymore.
Even on the lowest settings the game is choppy as balls on my calculator. Just keep in mind this same calculator played me to the end of Metro Last Light with constant 40+ FPS with the quality slider halfway up.

Really? This is mapped for the PS4 controller? REALLY?!
SDL2 motherfucker, why not use it!
“We are going to look into compiling Irrlicht with SDL support to see if this better solves some of these issues” <-Devel
Keyboard + wireless gerbil work without issue.

Yeah, this really needs a controller. Or a wii-mote type getup.
Too easy with the keyboard + mouse

I wanted to rage-quit from anger, not boredom.
Using the keyboard + gerbil makes the game *stupid easy
I’m guessing proper controller support would add something resembling a challenge?
*I’m a high functioning alcoholic.
