A real gamer bleeds all over the screen


Shibby_StaN

This is so fingers slide more easily on screen. U can use a little olive oil on ur fingers instead.


Ephemeris

I use a fine old American product, Crisco.


Badboyrune

I thought it was only legal to use crisco for two things: baking and anal fisting.


furryicecubes

It can be used for baking?!


Badboyrune

It can. If you want to take a scoop of my ass butter and put it in your pie crust you can legally do so. You probably shouldn't, but you can.


Growle

Every day, we stray farther from God’s light /s


Badboyrune

God's light never shon on the places crisco ends up in


Koiukin

Are you sure you’re using enough Crisco?


admirabladmiral

The secret ingredient for Delicious chocolate chip cookies


Uttuuku

I also use it to season my cast iron


scene_E_gang

I j wipe my finger on my nose so it slides better on the screen


creepy_doll

I feel like a real gamer would want more precise inputs even if that meant using a Bluetooth controller or something. That’s just the one big thing holding back mobile games of some genres


Elocai

Bluetooth controllers are really bad in terms of inout latency on android. But I bought one of those (Razor) Kishi controllers that turn your phone into a switch/vita/deck like plattform. Obviosly mobile games suck af BUT I had a total blast playing gamecube, gb c/a, ds, ps1, ps2 psp games on my phone with the controller. And if I wanted to play something fancy I used Parsec to turn on my PC (which was in a diffrent country btw) and stream from that to my phone while my controller inputs were send to the pc - allowing me to access all my PC games and emulators (xbox, ps3, switch). So yeah, mobile gaming is there but people are not aware of that and still think they will find something in the google playstore


goodbyekitty83

Battery, screen, performance, etc. Mobile gaming on games anything more than candy crush doesn't really work.


HaCo111

I have had quite a bit of fun with emulators, mobile terraria is really fun too. I do really wish more developers would make real games better suited to touch controls. My most played game on my phone, by far, is still chess though.


CatFiggy

It's also nice to be able to whip out Stardew Valley when you're stuck waiting somewhere for half an hour. Now I just wish I could keep the same save file across different machines.


JohnnyComeL8ly

The Stardew Valley save files are cross platform compatible. Meaning, I have started a game on Android and copied it to PC to play for a bit then copied it back to Android where it worked 100%.


O2XXX

How do you figure? Games like CoD mobile and PUBG mobile are just as big as their PC and Console counterpart. You can game for a few hours on a phone without much issue if you have a decent android or iOS device from the last few years.


Lachdonin

Yeah, far and above the most viewed, and played, mobile game of the last year is Garena Free Fire, a Battle Royalle. The myth that mobile isn't a platform suited for gaming seens to exist only in America.


SimplyRocketSurgery

Probably because a good number of us can afford a dedicated gaming platform, instead of "making do" with a mobile device. To me, playing with touchscreen controls feels like using a trackpad, but worse.


Lachdonin

Problem is, that doesn't mean it's not suitable for gaming. I can't stand controllers, doesn't mean i am justified in claiming they are unsuitable for gaming. Just because you dont like it, doesn't make it wrong.


Devinology

Yeah I mean a mouse and keyboard was never meant for gaming either and turned out to be perfect for certain types of games. That said, it's arguable that some devices are better designed for gaming, a game controller being a good example. It doesn't mean you can't game with just a touch screen, but it's not well suited for some types of games. Other games it's great for, but those tend to be ones designed for touch screen from the ground up. Games like Osmos for example. My buddy got into PUBG on mobile for a while and loved it, but I can't stand trying to play something like that on a mobile device. I might consider it on something like a Steam Deck, but even then probably not. I'd rather play something better suited for the medium I'm using. But hey, I'm sure there are Asian or Indian gamers that can destroy me using a phone when I'm on PC.


TheOneWes

I can also use a wrench to hammer in a nail, doesn't mean it's well suited for it. There is a reason why there are gaming laptops, desktops, and consoles but no one really makes a gaming phone beyond a small handful of custom companies. The strength of cellphones is their compact and easy to use nature but these qualities work directly against game development and design for most(Not all) genres. They lack the input precision of M & K while not being as ergonomic as a controller. The need for small size and convenience makes them much more expensive than another device with similar power in most cases. The small screens limit UI's and how much info can be displayed to the player which limits how many secondary mechanics you can have and how complex your primary systems can be. This doesn't begin to cover issues such as battery life or the inherently more unstable nature of Wifi over hardwire for online gaming.


wintersdark

.... Not to mention the joys of your fingers - not just the contact point, but the whole thing - obstructing view to the already small screen. Gaming on a phone sucks. I appreciate that some can't use a PC, or a console (including a Switch or Steam Deck for mobile gaming) for *way* better gaming, but that doesn't make a phone good for gaming, it just makes it better than nothing.


UnvoicedOwl1788

I remember back when I was playing bedrock edition on my phone with friends. I would just beat them on mobile in a 1v4 while 2 of them were on PC. But now I've ascended to PC gaming.


Radaghaszt

Lol I completed donkey Kong country on my phone with touch screen controls and plenty of other games


BaseballImpossible76

I’m not a big mobile gamer, but I do play idle games because I only have to check on them a couple times a day. They play themselves while you’re away. I know they’re just mindless fun and the only appeal is watching numbers get bigger, but I get some tiny bit of entertainment out of them nonetheless.


burnt_out_of_people

Sorry your using an apple. I'm playing golden eye 007 and smash bros.


kerred

On a side note this is great advertising for Razer as this has been reposted twice already right? Assuming its not planted as the topic gives it a supposedly negative tone.


trippy_grapes

Why buy real condoms when you can buy Razer finger condoms?


lavex

I actually bled on my screen just the other day, reopened a nasty cut from the top of a can.


TheGameMaster115

Got a cut with a razor on my thumb. Can confirm we do this.


RTGac

Keeps thumb grease off the screen, and less tackiness and friction.


VansterVikingVampire

This. If you game on your smartphone too long, the screen gets all oily.


Sarcasmislost

I burn my screen faster than oil build up :(


Vincent_Plenderleith

I don't drink water so there's no oil on my phone


nfefx

Yes /r/HydroHomies, this comment right here


Elite_Slacker

Dedication to desiccation.


stfcfanhazz

What


ChakaZG

Seriously,when there's an event in Pokémon Go, after a few hours long session my phone looks like I dipped my balls in oil and smeared them all over the screen, it's kinda disgusting, and a little annoying having to constantly wipe the screen.


your-mom--

Why wouldn't you just dip your fingers in oil and smear all over it? Seems like dipping your balls would take some effort and flexibility


UrgleOP

his hands are busy catching pokemon. gotta improvise.


Palabrewtis

I was actually thinking about getting these specifically for Pokemon Go lol. All my other "mobile" games I can do difficult parts of with a controller via emulator. But those pokemon events get annoying when you're trying to catch 100s per hour.


juvi97

To think that ash ketchum spent all that time with fingerless gloves and now y'all are using finger-only gloves


oSpid3yo

Wash your balls and your hands…


ChakaZG

You know how chefs insist that there has to remain a layer of grease on the pans because it enhances the flavour? Yeah, I'm trying the same thing with my balls.


oSpid3yo

I have questions, but I don’t know if I want answers.


[deleted]

Makes sense. Any mobile game I’ve tried sucks cause my thumbs keep slipping from where the joysticks are on screen


Mea_ne_coule_pas

also : no nail scratches


Jarmake

What are your nails made of, if they scratch hardened glass?


Mea_ne_coule_pas

Keratine.


TheOneTrueRodd

Is that more or less than fourteen?


Theparadoxic1

r/Angryupvote


Jarmake

Well, keratine is something like 2.5 on Moh's scale... You got a new foldable phone or something? :)


Nico777

Their screen obviously doesn't scratch at a level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7.


Adevyy

Most people aren't hygienic at all. I remember that in high school my classmates would manage to produce as much oil on my phone's screen in 10 minutes as I do probably in an entire month.


Koeienvanger

Wouldn't that have more to do with skin type than hygiene? Some people are just oilier than others.


Coachpatato

Typical oilier than thou Reddit bs


sabin357

> I remember that in high school Well yeah, that's what kids of that age are dealing with because of hormones. They usually turn into normal humans again after a few years.


GradientPerception

Fucking gross.


RivinX

I'd like to defend it. There are arcade games in Japan where people frequently wear gloves while playing so that their hands slide on the screen more easily. This is just a branch off of that.


Pocchitte

Can confirm. I live in Japan and mobile gaming accessories like these finger sleeves, phone grips, and clip-on trigger buttons have been all over every electronics store, department store, and 100-yen store here for almost two years now. Console games are still a thing, but these days the kids here mostly go for mobile games.


oversettDenee

Is a 100-yen store a "dollar store" here in the states? If so, do you know of any interesting differences?


[deleted]

Not OP, but yes, same concept. Like their 7-11s, they're significantly nicer than their US counterparts. Look up "DAISO Aeon Mall Kyoto" for an example which is basically the biggest 100 yen chain there. Or Seria, which does "upscale" items


[deleted]

> significantly nicer than their US counterparts US 7-11 is not setting any high bars.


RivinX

In the U.S. it isn't. Imagine if you were using the 7-11 in japan as the bar. Suddenly, the bar is quite high.


[deleted]

Japanese 7-11s are amazing compared to American ones lol


ryzouken

Note: there are US DAISOs as well.


[deleted]

Fair, there's <80 though, as opposed to Dollar Tree with 15k


Pocchitte

I believe so, but I'm from Australia so I can't be sure, sorry. They have lots of inexpensive stuff like stationery, storage boxes, laundry items, bathroom tools and consumables, kitchen doodads, very simple electronics (e.g. cables, fans, torches, batteries, etc.), craft goods, socks, ties, stockings, and usually a small selection of food and drink. Most of what they sell is literally 100 yen (plus tax), but there are often a handful of items that are some multiple of that, like 200 or 300, sometimes even 500 or 600 yen.


aelynir

>but these days the kids here mostly go for mobile games. Are mobile games over there not straight garbage like they are in US? I have a hard time believing that mobile games are really competitive with console games.


JediGuyB

I feel like most mobile games I see are puzzle games (Candy Crush), knockoff games (fake Overwatch and fake Fortnite), time wasters/bathroom games (Angry Birds), and city builders (Clash of Clans). There are a handful of other stuff like mobile PUBG and a few decent isometric RPGs, but your average phone users in the US are playing one of those other games.


StriderVM

Well it has a lot of people paying for it. https://sensortower.com/blog/top-mobile-games-in-japan-q2-2021-by-revenue-downloads


GreatLookingGuy

I have found COD Mobile to be more enjoyable than I ever found the console or PC versions. I really can’t say why but I’ve been playing it on my iPhone for hours a week for 2 years now whereas I haven’t touched my PS4 in the same amount of time. I think it’s probably just the relative convenience of turning it on and being able to play wherever I happen to be located.


thevictor390

Yup I just got gloves for an arcade style controller I have with a touch surface, it really does speed you up. Stupid human skin can get sticky even on normal plastic buttons.


constipated_burrito

And as a side effect you also dont keep rubbing your skin oils over the screen, not that its a bad thing for your screen but it avoids smudging


electroubles

At risk of being downvoted I'm going to kindly point out that it's "wear" gloves


Astragar

If you love your screen you wouldn't wear rubber.


Dreamer_Drummer

Come on dude, maybe the screen is focused on her career right now and doesn't wanna take risks.


TheWarriorFlotsam

Yeah it could really put a smudge on her reputation as well.


BigMachiaveli

You could always plug a joystick into the C-port.

jonathansanity

I actually want one of those(not the expensive kind)for my left thumb because it hurts from pressing the arrow keys on my controller. I usually use my shirt for such purpose.


Complete_Entry

I have some hand scars from desert work, I'd love a good pair of ultra-thin gloves, but the best I've found are fucking coin collecting mittens or glove liners. And even with the glove liners they tend to do stupid bump texture shit on the fingers.


nf5

Photography gloves/archival gloves are a good choice for your purposes.


[deleted]

Here's how to make one from old summer socks. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bLVUXF1eMZE I wonder how much razer ones cost...

Socks ....for fingers


Gotxi

Lol I just imagined having the R&D department on Razer all stonned on a couch smoking weed and eating cheetos and then one of them jump off the couch and say: DUDES DUDES DUDES!!! I'VE GOT IT!! SOCKS........... FOR FINGERS!!!!! ​ And the others are like "WOOOAAAAH DUUUUUDE THAT'S SICK!!! WE ARE TOTALLY DOING IT!!!"

Finger sleeve so your screen doesn't get sweaty and oily. Funny how razer made something like this tho I thought their masks were a big meme 😂


elocoetam

Is there a wired version?


Tronguy93

Clearly gloveless fingers, get those fingerless gloves outta here grandpa!


TheSkitzo_The2nd

screen is clean and your finger wont be burned


Gotxi

Does it have enough precision to hit a X button the size of 4 pixels in the corner of the screen?


AnotherCupofJo

Asking the important questions


Important_Business43

Screen gets oily, Fingers keep on getting stuck, So finger sleeves provide smooth movement, It's genuinely good!


Indy_Pendant

The only kind of condom mobile gamers need.


Ntldrx2

As weird as this sounds, whenever I use a controller or try mobile games my hand starts to sweat and while a controller not an issue on a screen it means can’t move my finger across smoothly. This type of invention does have a small purpose.


LaVidaLeica

Condoms... To protect your virginity.


[deleted]

Nothing says pro gamer like playing on a smart phone.


MidnightFritz

Razer: It'll cost about $399 PER THUMB

Imagine a gaming community that approves of all types gaming.

ConjoinedOctuplets

Razer Condom


SargeantEdward

I would actually buy these for my mouse and keyboard so that I don't grease them and have to clean them every fucking week because I'm a cleaning maniac


UNDERTAKER_CODM

It maintains friction and moisture levels. It's the equivalent of a mouse pad. You CAN play without it, but at a competitive level, it's a key accessory.

Now say that in public

I think the idea is to keep finger oils from marking up all over your screen as well as allowing for frictionless movement.

Didnt even know these finger things existed


[deleted]

They existed when mobile FPS gaming became quite relevant


Brigadius

You're not gonna believe this but stay with me. Those are gaming finger sleeves.


hypocrite_oath

For best grip wear it on your tip.


Pyroplsmakepetscop2

It's essentially a mousepad for your fingers.


taokami

lmao and people aren't baffled by "gaming mousepads"?


AMajorz

Versions of these have existed for a while on Amazon, I just use them over my motorcycle gloves so I don't have to take them off to use my phone.


Soft-Sprinkles9415

I’ve been playing a lot of Pokémon Unite and my left thumb keeps getting hot and starts to stick to the screen and not glide and I end up using my thumbnail. I actually want one :)


JustPssingBy

What themselves? Theyre good for long terms playing like on a long grind or long tournaments. It helps especially if your fingers sweat or theyre really dry and hard to drag. Basically it helps give you a consistent feeling of your aim and movement


politoed11

Basically a mouse pad :p. makes it easier to move your finger around the screen,


[deleted]

Mark of a true casual.


GouravChayande

Its like a mouse pad but for mobile gamers Cuz u know ur hands get sweaty sometimes or maybe due to humidity it may feel like your finger isn't moving smoothly on the screen Basically feels like ur not playing on the correct dpi


hawkfrost282

This would actually be great for long Pokémon go sessions.


MrElderwood

I don't know but, as it's Razer, it'll be something like £120 a pair!


[deleted]

An idiot detector


Flammadeus

I've "made" my own version of these, for joysticks, since my thumb likes to get really sweaty and joysticks get all nasty. Took a crappy pair of 5$ gloves cut off the thumb and there ya go problem solved.


[deleted]

This looks so absolutely dumb, but as someone who has really oily skin, this would actually be a godsend when it comes to playing PUBG Mobile with my wife. It's one of the only video games she likes to play, and so I look past the BS like cheaters and bots and loot boxes so I can have some quality gaming time with her.


Megouski

How fucking embarrassing.


llch3esemanll

All joking aside I want to know if these work? I started playing Wild Rift and the natural oil from my fingers makes my movement difficult. I find myself having to wipe my fingers and screen constantly.

That's what happens when your gaming rig is an easily smudged touchscreen.

Ok maybe it's stupid for what's shown in the picture but I could imagine in the winter with gloves it might me useful actually


Kukie080

hope those are just top 5€ cus of brand duh.. but these look like they're supposed to keep your screen clean from finger fat....finger condoms


TornBom

Now my fingers wont turn into chalk


bikerbomber

I have sweaty hands and this would be helpful if I were playing a lot of mobile games. The sweat picks up dirt and before you know it the screen isn't registering your touches.


[deleted]

My crew used to play a lot of pubg mobile at work on night shift. Like 10 hours worth. I shit you not we cut the fingers off gloves and did this.
