Nelots, do games w anybody here heard of lobotomy corporation?

I've heard of it vaguely just because I played a bit of limbus company (and liked the characters more than the gameplay tbh). How's lobotomy compared to limbus? Is the gameplay similar at all?

chiruyuki,

Yeah lcb’s gameplay isn’t the best… the story is it’s charm

As for l corp’s gameplay, it is VERY different. It’s a rogue-like management simulator that expects you to reset and rewind your progress throughout the game in order to complete it… you have to manage the abnormalities you pick, and they each have their own requirements for keeping them content (some more complicated than others. The higher the tier, the more complicated the abnormalities usually get, although that ain’t always rhe case). You can look up gameplay compilations on YouTube;; each run is always different lol

The story, similar to lcb’s, is great too and very character-driven… to the point where it directly affects your gameplay (and graphics in some instances).

Congratulations on making and shipping a game on your own. That’s really fucking impressive.

The game looks very cool, I’ll definitely try the demo later!

I’m not saying that it’s not irresponsible to grow to the size that they have, but I don’t think people understand the staggering difference in the size of the development teams between GTA and Hollow Knight.

MobyGames lists 4,771 people in the credits for GTA V and just 85 for Hollow Knight. Honestly most of those on Hollow Knight are translators and testers, people who weren’t working the full length of development time.

As a reminder, 99.9% of the cost of a game is number of staff * salary * time.

How will you compare it with MK: World?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

World I think definitely has more to offer for die hard Mario Kart fans. As a Family or group game though I’d say 8 is the better title.

8 you just pick it up, pick a character, pick a car, and pick a cup (or track if you’re doing VS), without having to worry about which tracks connect to which and all the new mechanics introduced in world

Yeah, I feel more at home with 8 too.

KaChilde, do gaming w The Epidemic Of Gamers Forcing Themselves To Play/Like a Game.

This mindset from people is what makes online multiplayer games unplayable for me.

I don’t get a lot of time to play games as an adult. When I do, I don’t particularly want people telling me how I should be having fun. There is this weird competition that happens where you need to know everything about a game before you are allowed to partake in the game. It sucks to have missed out on so many experiences, but i guess my not playing sub-optimally made someone else’s experience better, so it’s all good.

griffinite_psx,
@griffinite_psx@lemmy.world avatar

No man, by all means you bought the game enjoy it however you want. But be real, if you play Ranked in a competitive online game then are expected to at least understand the games mechanics. If not, why not stick to standard? That’s what irritates me.

Akrenion,

If you want to figure out how good you are and enjoy a challenge you play ranked. If the ranked system is good you should rarely or never play with teammates less knowledgeable and less skilled than you.

I don’t think we need a higher barrier of entry for ranked. Just accept that the skill variance happens on both sides and focus on your own game. If you can mentor that is nice and helpful if done right.

griffinite_psx,
@griffinite_psx@lemmy.world avatar

I agree 100% and for the record I’m decent at my best days on most online FPS games that I play. It’s not the outcome that irritates me it’s the “why” behind it. In R6S for example “I’m not opening rotation holes because I don’t know where to open them/forgot about them” and “I don’t care about rotation holes because I’m here for my K/D” both have the same outcome. One is an honest play style while the other actively ignores a core part of the game. This I why I’m left wondering if some players like the game itself or they’re just jumping in to jump in. Despite everything it’s still an online game and other players are players not NPCs.

Deceptichum, do gaming w I refuse to by a new mouse

All my mouse end up like this after a year or two. Thing is they never used to back in the day but all new mice have a coating that wears off so easily now.

Malix,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

could be my tinfoil hat receiving thoughts via radio waves: maybe it’s by design? the coating will get grimy eventually, so the user is more likely to buy a new device.

Pieisawesome,

It’s not really a tinfoil hat, it’s just the material.

Older mice were hard plastic, modern mice use soft touch plastic which is a coating. It wears off.

It’s kind of like cheap pleather after a couple years

Poopfeast420,

You still had the rubberized grips on a lot of mice back in the day, that would just get sticky over time or get rubbed off. Not really much better.

GrindingGears,

Remember taking the balls out and scrapping all the dust and crap off the rollers? It was a guilty pleasure of mine, but some of the mice from that era got pretty dank. I had one in college that was basically a science experiment at graduation.

mrgoosmoos,

not tinfoil at all, that’s a material choice that they made knowing what the result would be

this is intentional

I’ve had mine for 5 maybe 6 years with fairly regular use.

TehPers, do gaming w I refuse to by a new mouse

Been using this mouse for years. The scroll wheel is already spazzing out whenever I use it. Still, haven’t had any complaints about it other than that (except for needing iCue).

I don’t need all the side buttons anymore though, so I may go for something simpler for my next mouse. Still, it was the best mouse I could find with that many inputs available to it.

Comrade_Squid,
@Comrade_Squid@lemmy.ml avatar

for me its the dpi up button that some times sticks, scroll is fine though. ICue sucks, luckily Linux has ckb-next

also, what was it you originally needed the extra inputs for?

TehPers,

Originally needed them for modded Minecraft. I ran out of keys on my keyboard for all the keybindings that mods wanted.

Also tried using them in ffxiv, at least for the short period of time that I played it (fun game but I don’t have the time sadly).

GrindingGears,

ICue is the worst

I totally regret buying that elite LCD that slots over the cooler, and all those Corsair fans + the case. I mean the hardware is fine, everything has been trucking a long for a really long time, the AIO, the fans, I’ve never had a problem with any of it from a hardware perspective. But it also means I’m locked into having that friggin ICue running in the background. The amount of other programs that app interferes with and basically fucks up, is unbelievable. I’m not buying anymore Corsair stuff, and iCue is 110% to blame for that.

OP didn’t expand on it, and his photos didn’t show it, but this mouse apparently has a bunch of thumb buttons, which is a legitimately-rare feature (though it’s not the only mouse out there to have a bunch).

EDIT: Amazon has 786 “gaming mice” with 10 or more — a bit arbitrarily-chosen on my part — buttons, so I guess that there’s a reasonable crop out there.

Makes it great for games like Arma 3 😍 and 3D cad.

Zorsith,

Logitech made the best (the g600) but it was discontinued and they show no signs of reviving it 😭

uninvitedguest, (edited )
@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

I have used the G604 for 6 years and the 6 side buttons are perfect for me - not too few, not too many, just right. Plus Bluetooth & Lightspeed to switch between devices.

I’ve printed it a replacement for its rubber cover, but now I need to look at cleaning/replacing the switches as they are starting to double click.

I bought the mouse for ~$68 on sale, the resale market for the mouse is nuts.

Bubs,

Had a Naga at first but refused to buy Razer after it broke (got quite a few years out of it). I’m on my second G600 and bought a third off eBay which is sitting on my shelf new and sealed. Of I ever get to the point that the third one dies, then I’ll maybe scavenge the first two for parts and repair one XD

Zorsith,

I saw something somewhere that they’re still selling them on ebay under the name “Logicool”, not sure how legit it is though.

Ive got 3 g600’s in rotation myself, i have yet to actually kill one and my main one has lasted me 5+ years

Bubs,

Thought you were talking about some scam with the name Logicool, but it’s actually the Japanese version of their brand. Seems to be legit too:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/comments/1exw62n/the_logicool_g600t_japanese_ver_of_logitech_g600/

despoticruin,

Second best. The best is actually the reddragon one that’s $20 on Amazon.

I have used every mmo mouse on the market (currently on a scimitar elite, it’s the one op has but silver not yellow) and they are all decent mice, but each has a fatal flaw except the reddragon.

G600 click switches are awful and double click after weeks of use, I had to replace them twice, the final time with the switches out of the red dragon. That was fine for close to 10 years, but the side key caps fall off, they are barely glued on.

The scimitar has an awful encoder on the scroll wheel, I had to open the mouse to pack it with Vaseline to get it working properly, and disassembling the scimitar is a nightmare.

The reddragon has bad software, but it’s also supported by open source options for remapping and RGB, so it’s one flaw was by far the easiest to fix.

The g600 was the most comfortable to palm, but the side keys are in an awkward spot to palm the mouse, the scimitar is nice for the adjustable keypad, but it moves with time and tightening it too much will break the mouse. The red dragon has an odd texture on the far side, very rough, but otherwise the best for a claw grip.

GrindingGears,

I bought some sort of no name quasi-mechanical keyboard that came with a gaming mouse as a combo, that was like $60 on Amazon, five years ago. Literally my favourites, both of them. And I’ve had many different keyboards and mice over the years too.

Pieisawesome,

Razer is still making their Naga mouse with 12 side buttons. I believe they have a model that you can hot swap the side buttons to be the amount you want.

Of course Razer isn’t the most reliable brand…

fushuan,

As cool as the hot swap thing is, it’s incredible they don’t sell replacement parts, mine has some faulty buttons that post cleaning somewhat work, but I use them almost as much as the click buttons, and having such an easy replaceable part that’s not sold infuriates me to no end.

bunnyBoy,

I remember when they went from the old form factor in the 2012 version to the new ones where the buttons stick out more. I hated it at the time, but the side buttons are just so useful that I can’t see myself buying any other type of mouse.

I feed the bodies of dead raiders to my pigs and GITMO-ed a Space Racist into giving up his bigoted ways.

I’m not sure how I feel about calling the experience “fun”.

Nalivai,

For a long time I’m running goodie-two-shoes settlements and I love it. They’re not woe of non-violence people, they will shoot you if you come with raid, but then they will patch you up and release you back with gifts. They make artisinal food, drinks, and drugs and then sell and gift them to everyone, and they never ever commit any warcrimes. It makes me feel nice inside, knowing that my guys are making life on a rim slightly better.
