So I frequently slam my mouse down on my mousepad whenever I get mad. I slam my mouse down with the sensor and the power switch side striaght on the glass mousepad very hard and many times just to give you a perspective. I was wondering if you guys could give me mouses you have personally raged/got mad at and the mouse and still worked perfectly well and the mouse is super durable. The only requirement for me I guess would be wireless and I would like to spend no more than 100-140 and gaming of course. Coincidentally I broke my superlight 2 and I’m getting refund.

I’ve been looking to update my switch 1 console. I primarily have been using it to play Fortnite (yes it’s garbage on S1 I know) and it’s been getting so laggy on there in the last few updates that it’s actually been driving me insane. other games I like to play on Switch are ACNH, and have been wanting to buy Tomodachi Life, Pikmin 3, and the Kirby Forgotten Island game to name a couple.

My laptop runs Linux sadly (not my choice, it got bricked and someone had it fix it but didn’t have the Windows disc for it) so I can’t download it on there, though I would like to get another laptop at some point so I’m open to suggestions on that as well. I primarily played Sims 4 on it. I know gaming PCs are likely better and cheaper, I just don’t have a good space to put one at the moment. :(

I enjoy the portability aspect of the Switch, as I like to bring it over to a friends or my partners to play sometimes or to just play sitting in my bed.

But the frame rate and quick loading capabilities on the PS5 are very endearing to me as someone who’s had to deal with the slow connection times and locked 30FPS on the S1. Plus with a disc drive I could play DVDs if I wanted.

I’m definitely out of my wheelhouse here and would appreciate some advice from people who have more experience with any of these consoles. Thank you in advance! :)

hey!

im human being 🫡 and my birthday is actually coming up soon, pretty random, but I was looking into getting into pc gaming. my older brother has a ps5, but my family is very aganist getting another one for the house. the only thing ive really used is steam (for minor games on my productivity computer) and a nitendo switch. I’m looking to play AAA titles, as I’m into games like resident evil and such. im looking for any kind of pc gaming, for around 500$? (I’m on a budget- let me know if this isn’t possible 🫡), I can also do 600$ but this is coming out of my own money so I’m not looking for too much.

Im just looking to overall a good screen, and graphics that run fine- and can ofc play the titles well. the medium doesn’t really matter to me. I don’t know any other the terms that specify this type of stuff- but lmk. sorry if I sounds weird.

we between xbox ally and nitendo switch 2 💔.

Hey everyone, I’m new to PC gaming and I have a pretty decent setup. However, I’ve been trying to find a good mouse, but everything online says it’s user-specific. I’ve never had my own PC or even a mouse to use to figure out what I like and don’t like. I’ve seen posts about a G502 Hero and something called an ATK?

The one human I’ve reached seems to think I’m the only person in the world with this issue, so please lmk.. I got a new PS console to play a specific game, started having access issues once the new edition rolled out last year (kind of anticipated, but this is blowing my mind), deleted the game while troubleshooting/deleting cache and the Store download button completely disappeared. I’ve emailed the game distributor over 50 times and I keep getting AI-hallucinated responses trying to verify my purchase, or simply telling me to download the game (even after specifically requesting video recordings proving there is no download button etc etc). Console company said they can’t escalate. Feeling my fears of starting this pastime were valid in a foreboding way.

my mom wont let me play Minecraft because i was talking to somebody in vc. We were only talking about the game, not full on conversations, and right after the round we would never talk again. Im 15 and this game has been my favorite game since i was little, and helped me through rough times, now its getting taken away from me. What should i do.

Hi there !

I've come here looking for advice concerning old games controls : I am a gamer, I game daily and I'm used to keyboard and mouse as well as controllers. I can play PS3 era to PS5 era games without any probems. However when I start to get into older games (PS1 and some PS2 games) I really struggle with how different the control of movement was back then.

It's a completely different feeling, and not at all what I'm used to. The way you'd control your character with more modern games is not really how you control them in older ones : I want you to go straight towards the back and you're heading back but backwards, I'd like you to just turn slightly left and you're doing a 360°, straight and back are always changing position so I assume it's straight/back from the POV of the character rather than the POV of the camera ? and such things...

The games I'm struggling with are fixed angles or at least wonky-always-moving-camera ones. I have played a few fixed angle games and gotten used to it, so I don't know if it's the camera I really struggle with. I've played RE1R, Tormented Souls, The Medium and such, so I don't know if that could be an issue with how I perceive movement ? If maybe the fixed angles in these games are not at all similar to fixed angles in older games and I just don't realize it ?

The games I'm thinking of are RE3 OG and SH3 : I bought RE3 on Steam recently and since it's "in medias res" putting you directly at the start of the game with zombies in front and behind you, I couldn't even try to get used to the controls before dying within 3min of game start... I then tried to play SH3, I thought I'd be okay and I did do better than RE3 but the camera is still "wonky" and the movement hard to get used to. I didn't really struggle playing Rule of Rose for example, which is also a PS2 game.

And so, I'm looking for advice on how to learn and get that feeling for the movement and control of the character on those older games, I'd love to play and experience them for myself rather than watch gameplays of them. Any advice you may have, I'm willing to try it out !

Thanks in advance !

Hi, a guy wants to trade his 3ds (with case and games) for my Xbox one s. I love my ds lite, and have wanted a 3ds for the longest time, but if there's one thing I've learned, is never sell your games. This Xbox one s is my first ever console, but I rarely play it, as I am a Nintendo fan. Is it a good deal or should I pass it by?

Hi, i wanted to ask you that what should i do when i download any game for example RDR2 and i just boot it up play for while and then turn it off because i just dont have that feeling to play because i am like you know overstimulated, same with all other stuff like reading or watching something i just turn on that thing and after few minutes i shut it down because it is boring and i dont know why i have this feeling that everythign is boring for me even games, movies and stuff like this you know. I am 15 so it is not that i am old now and i dont find those things as fun so i dont know what is a issue there. When i have this feeling of boredom from you know games or books or movies i just grab my phone and watch some reels on IG because sometimes there are good videos or edits you know and i am able to watch IG reels for 3 hours per day. Do any of you folks had a same feeling about fun things like watching something or playing games and after few minutes you found it boring and you just went and scrolled on IG reels? I just dont know what to do because when i had a weak PC i always dreamed how i will play any game i want with mods and that i would play so much and when i finally bought good pc now i just browse internet on that thing or watch reels on IG and i dont even have drive to watch some movie or read a book you know. Please give me your advice on this because i dont know what to do and i need help. Thank you for all comments.
