Just as a fun fact, it’s actually quite common for industrial machinery and the like to be controlled with a gaming controller. Like, a hundred things wrong with the submarine trip - but the PlayStation controller is genuinely one of the more legitimate aspects.

They’re simply made well, easy to use, and typically extremely durable and long lasting.

Yeah, they are good controllers.

But it shouldn't have been the wireless one.

And it shouldn't have been the only controls on board.

I bet all those industrial machines with controllers also have a physical emergency button build in.

I mean… most industrial machines have a stop button present on them (though not on the controller). I’m not sure that the sub having a “stop imploding” button on the inside of the hull would have done much good though

If you didnt consent to being imploded 13000 feet below sea level, you are legally allowed to leave.
