I swear I had the only MX518 that wasn't bulletproof. Mine crapped out after a year or so. The logitech mmo mouse is good though, for sure. It's very large and I didn't like the third mouse button they put under your pinky, but I loved that mouse. Mine recently died and I got the Corsair one, I think it's called the Scimitar. It's a bit smaller, but it's nice because the number pad on the side can be moved backward or forward and then locked in place so you can put the thumb buttons exactly where you want them. The only downside is it uses Corsair's CUE program to control the lighting and buttons and junk, but CUE is getting better and since I have a Corsair headset I already use it anyway, so it's nice to be able to control all my peripherals from one window. It's extra handy for doing multicrew in Star Citizen because I can macro commands to my thumb buttons and have different macros for each mouse mode - one for doing scanning, one for C&C, one for working the main weapons control, one for ahahahaha just kidding.

I really like my Corsair wireless headset, but that might just be because I have a lumpy and misshapen head or something.

Scruffyhawk posted:Will CIG ever release that SQ42 demo they failed to deliver for CitCon that they made some dumb apology documentary video for? How long has it been now? Did they just give up and brush it under the rug? What does your heart tell you? In six months when people are going "Hey where the gently caress is that SQ42 demo you promised?" Chris is going to go on a 20 minute rambling tirade about how he knows one of his problems is being a perfectionist but damnit development changes all the time and now they're rolling it into such and such feature which should be out in six months and/or is already in the game.

Wrecked Angle posted:Sorry, I'm gonna have to disagree on that one, they aren't that similar. Given what I know about CIG, I refuse to see the 45 degree swept back combination magazine-feed and forward grip as coincidental. Obviously there's only so many shapes you can do for the front bit of a gun, and the buttstock looks as unique as any other CIG guns, but that magazine area seems a little on the nose for it to be a coincidence. e:fb

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Look at all the empty space around the trigger guard. You have this weird notch above the grip itself, and then in front of the trigger you have another completely enclosed but empty space. Is the grip a safety? Is the trigger some kind of sensor that has no mechanical linkage to the rest of the gun? Why have that superfluous spar from the stock to the grip? The only reason people do that in real life is so that you can purchase the gun in places that ban pistol grips. This might be the cynic in me, but I think the extra greeblie thing on the trigger guard was purposefully put there to differentiate it from the titanfall weapon. The Titanfall rifle just has a bug extended trigger guard to eat up the space that you need between it and the magazine feed for the 45 degree tilt to look right, and I think CIG wedged a bunch of extra spars in there to eat up that space because without them it would look drat near identical. e: identical in terms of silhouette, not necessarily overall.

Godmode Enabled posted:I had this ship and refunded it a while ago after we figured out this game prob wasn't going to be a thing. Its about what I was expecting. A space train with lots of Storage to move Man I really wanted one of those things back in the day. It was one of their first concepts that looked like an actual cool future spaceship, and those big I still remember all the threads on reddit and the main forums speculating about what the big stabby things on the front did and what exactly CIG meant when they said that it would have two "dummy" engines because holy poo poo that is a dumb idea haha. This time it at least looks like they managed to get it pretty close to the concept, so I'll grant them that.

It's pretty funny how we've become comic book supervillains to those guys. Part of me feels obligated to correct the narrative, but on the other hand letting people like Cymelion believe that we have some kind of master plan to get all the citizens to refund is probably the funnier option.

Natron posted:The idea that people who got their refunds will be incredibly pissed if the game comes out and is good is so loving bizarre. Somewhere in that comment chain one of those morons postulates that refunders would be too scared to sign back up with their original name, as though there's some overwhelming shame (or fear of being on one of their "kill on sight" lists haha) that would stop me or anyone else from playing a videogame with the name they use everywhere else. If anything, should the game come out I'm going to be blasting threadmemes into chat while I ram my stupid little shitbox into their $890.00 dream.

I mean hell, Elite has been battling the PVP salt for how long now? Half the playerbase refuses to play in "online" mode for fear of getting griefed, and they don't even have the nifty feature of being able to run around and shoot guns at each other. There's a huge disconnect with the Citizens who all like to shout that goons demanded refunds because CIG wouldn't let them turn the game into an EVE-style greifing paradise, because even as it stands now Star Citizen is far more conducive to greifing than almost any other game out there, and in fact that's the only fun thing to do in the game. The idea that if/when I buy back in I'm gonna be too scared to register as BEETWAGONTHEKNOWNGOON for fear of griefing or Citizen blowback or whatever is so loving silly I'm not sure how they can honestly entertain it.

Chalks posted:CIG have a large number of very talented 3d artists. The idea that they could produce a functional FPS in an engine that is entirely focused on FPS games, so much that the literal "getting started" tutorial for it shows you how to create a functional FPS was never very far fetched. Exactly. Nobody ever said "They can't make Star Marine" but for over a year now people have been wondering "Okay so where the gently caress is it?" and the unceremonious dumping out of what appears to be a shoddily built small-team fps game isn't exactly the triumphant victory everyone thinks it is. Okay, so they finally made Star Marine. Good. Now why did it take so long and why does it look like hot cat poo poo?

The Titanic posted:You'd be surprised maybe. Though really not too many. It's just curiosity. Hearing from the horses mouth is like affirmation of what they probably think. And I think the ones who ask are just either secretly kinky, interested in it but don't want to admit it to themselves, setting you up for the "well you just never had a good man (like me)", or just being rude to set you up with a "well that sounds just wrong and gross." in front of people to make you feel good and happy. People are generally terrible, and have no sense of "This might be a weird/creepy/not okay thing to ask someone" in my experience. I like to think a lot of them just don't know that it maybe isn't something you should care/ask about because the alternative is way sadder.
