I know that cheating ruins games and all, but straightaway opening a hole on my system because of such isn’t the right way to deal with it.


Best ergonomic/vertical mouse for FPS gaming?
Title. Is it [the Logitech MX](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaWLLEztrIs)? Thanks in advance.

Has any of you ever tried the “Ragnok 2 gun mouse”? If so, how good is it?
Title. Been using "conventional mouses" since a while, and I'm in the mood to try something new. Even so considering its a ergonomic mouse that won't screw my wrists even more while gaming(I'm over 40 y/o). There are plenty of reviews for it on the internet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_2wixvrWPg&pp=ygUVcmFnbm9rIG1vdXNlIDIgcmV2aWV3 for instance) but I'd like to hear some "real world" reviews about it.

Yep. And I still play from time to time, despise getting my arse served by most players. And I’ve got to admit that hand tension is exactly -THE- “main” problem for me, despise trying to be as relaxed as possible with drinks and the like. I do have lots of “Why my crosshair isn’t moving to where I want it to go?” moments due to it.

…and I… (kind of) given up, honestly. I’m about to be a 40 year old geezer, so eh.


Indeed. Theres also burst firing, which can get significantly easier/more “natural”. Or when you are an old chap like me who panicks all the time, lessening the effect quite significantly as well.


That is an interesting take, which (also) makes sense – each millimeter matters when you are using a weapon that demands the most precision in order to hit your targets. And multitasking with your “aiming hand” can mean the difference between being able to hit your target or not. Even so while burst firing.


Heh, I’m also a old fart – 40 years old. Still, anxiety can also be a problem since it makes you anticipate your shots or freak out easily.


Well, I tried this idea with Planetside 2 (Which is a very “messy” game where it can easily use more than 10 hotkeys at a time) and it started to feel “natural” after 30 minutes - 1 hour of gaming. And can’t really give you a key mapping that will work for you “just like that” but try placing your “non-aiming” hand at the keyboard (right over your commonly used movement keys) and pay attention to where your finger(s) are and change your shooting hotkey to where one of your “non-occupied” fingers are. Then test it for a while, and see if it “feels right”. If it doesn’t, then switch to something else.

As for me, left shift felt more “natural” since I use WASD and my left hand (when relaxed) lands exactly to where the left shift key is.



Yes. Like left shift instead of left mouse click.

And I honestly don’t know.


Are you talking about remapping your mouse buttons to keyboard buttons?

Exactly.



Apparently, all you need to do to “git gud” in an online FPS is to reduce hand “stress” while aiming.
Long, short story: Am bad-to-average FPS gamer, looking to improve. [Saw an OSU! gamer flinging its "shots"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVjfgEXNciY) left and right and tried my best to mimick the experience in an FPS. And it worked significantly -- all of my shots felt more "secure", even with my aiming being rusty beyond belief. And the "trick" to do this is simply leaving your "aiming hand" to aim (ONLY) while leaving your "non-aiming hand" to shoot and everything else. That's it.

We’ve reached a point that technology is not improving, but degrading – who on earth is going to accept this as is and let third parties acquire random information about them, including their credit card? I mean, if a hacker manages to bust (whatever feature that allows this bs to happen) and forward info to them instead of the meta HQ – they are going to have a heck of a honeypot.


Where is the “whatever is in front of me” option?


They better add a “Kissing a chicken” ending or else I will get really pissed.


We live in times where folks are more worried into bashing randoms rather than improving/enjoying things for no reason other than attention/self-validation – those are probably “internet tough guys” acting like such.




Lemmy. It’s a pretty nice minigame to play whilst between breaks.

what?
