DEHUMANIZE  YOURSELF  &  FACE  TO  BLACULA

Pinterest Mom posted:

The ambitious team behind Star Citizen has been working on a series of "bespoke" flight sticks for their spacefaring game for some time now, and one of those models finally has a release window. The peripheral, which could be one of the best new HOTAS concepts in a decade, may also have one serious flaw.

Polygon has learned that the $350 set won't feature mechanical keys.

Polygon reached out to the Star Citizen team for more information and found out that the system, called the Atom, will be based in part on the Mad Catz STRIKE 7. Instead of Cherry mechanical switches seen on many high-end keyboards, the Atom will feature a "specially engineered membrane which mimics the tactile feel generated by the mechanical keys ... without the resultant excessive noise."

The Atom will be sold in two parts starting Dec. 16. The stick and throttle alone will run $149.99 — comparable to Saitek's existing X52 model — and the keyboard will run $199.99. The first 2,000 units will be signed by Chris Roberts, the designer of Star Citizen. Delivery is scheduled for May.

this is literally something chris roberts drew in chemistry class when he was 16 and now they're making it instead of making any progress on the game

useless. it's just an x52 with half a keyboard stuck in the middle.

go warthog or go home. surely those morons spending tens of thousands on virtual spaceships can justify not even 400 dollars for the best most indestructible joystick there is. i've owned like 12 different sticks and hotas systems in my life and the warthog is the one that made me quit even looking at what else is coming out

fun fact -- the warthog stick is a perfect replica of the actual stick in the A-10C, except that the warthog is made of cast aluminum, and the real stick is plastic. lol

for the love of god, do not buy saitek. anything after they got acquired by madcatz is poo poo. poor button placement, weird zones in the stick that require more force to move than other areas, etc.

if you really need a hotas for your spaceship jpegs, and you're looking around that ballpark, go get yourself some ch products stuff. they're good, inexpensive, and indestructible



bonus points that their stuff looks like it's from the 90s, if you want to go into full-on wing commander nostalgia

bought a CH Products throttle for Elite Dangerous, can confirm it's great

when I first met Maxson, I talked to him and went holy poo poo! you guys are fascists after all! so I shot him in the face with my shotgun that does bleeding damage a few times and jumped off the side in the power armor they give you

decided against it after because I realized they'd probably give me an actual quest to kill him later if I waited

playing this game's main quest after playing new vegas is really disappointing. the only difference between the railroad and the brotherhood is what to do with the synths: both factions want to destroy the institute, but the railroad want to save the synths and the brotherhood want to kill them. if this was new vegas, id be able to go have a chat with the brotherhood and convince them that hey, maybe letting the synths live isn't that big a deal

instead, if i side with the railroad, i'll have infinitely spawning vertibirds dropping brotherhood paladins on my head from here until i stop playing

if this were fo3, bethesda would probably drop dlc that gives you a p obvious way around not being retarded at the end of the game

well yes. obv go with the tm warthog, if you can afford it. i've got it myself, and holy poo poo. it fits my hands perfectly, can be modified easily, and i'm pretty sure the stick could be used as a bludgeoning instrument

i was just saying that for less than the cost of that star shitizen monstrosity, you can get a ch products stick + throttle + pedals, all of which are great

probably not, after all caesar's legion never really changed that much other than "who's in charge"

well maybe it did, but only like 10% of playthroughs worldwide ever sided with them because they're in the rear end end of nowhere and you usually meet the friendly NCR before then

still stewing on dat $100 off ps4 bundle. i was originally holding out for 1tb and newer sku. is 500gb that hard to put up with? i wasn't really intending to use it for anything but playing one or two games at a time, albeit i am planning to be as close to 100% digital purchases as possible

also does the ps4 even run that loudly that a slightly better power efficiency would make any difference?

tbf caesars legion was a group of slavers formed from the conquest of dozens of raider tribes. the brotherhood of steel is, by their propaganda at least, a force striving to protect the common citizens of the wasteland and return humanity to its golden age. it would make plenty of sense to convince the brotherhood that hey so long as the institute is dead who cares about the dozen or so living synths, while it wouldnt make sense to convince caesars legion that hey you can live peacefully with the ncr

paying $425 cad taxes in would be a lot better than $575 cad taxes in

does ps4 have that thing where you need to have twice the space needed for the download like the ps3 has?
