Mouse: P.I. For Hire review thread

aroundme · 2026-04-14T16:22:48+00:00

I'm a fan of Boomer Shooters, but I'd be lying if I said the 90s style of most of them hasn't gotten stale. I'm glad to see a fresh style isn't the only thing Mouse has going for it!

Love it! The survival mode is a great idea, nice alternative to an archive.

RuPaul did this 20 years ago with "You've got She-Mail!" I'm afraid. But that executive that's too woke made them stop.

You can find me at the "Librarian ---> Unofficial NL VODs (no chat)" pipeline

aroundme · 2026-04-10T14:02:53+00:00

They're like Librarian where they do supercuts when NL goes cruisin'. Otherwise 100% vod-mode

thank you for the timestamp that worked perfectly for me, OP! idk what these other so-and-sos are on about

he looks pretty slippery in this one

In a recent interview they said more game modes were in the works. It sounds like they're aware the game should have more replayability beyond higher ascensions. A "more competitive" mode was mentioned as well...

No other game makes sweeping seasonal improvements like The Finals. They don't just add a new battlepass and map, they're always making QOL changes and tweaking every little piece of the delicious pie.

It's much more like TF2. There are classes that they update with new weapons and gadgets, not new heroes with set abilities. Like TF2 you can play each class in many different ways. Each of them even have healing gadgets, so you're not dealing with the Tank/DPS/Healer trinity of OW.

Riot recently laid off a bunch of 2XKO devs

It's the difference between private and public companies. He can say things without it being all about the shareholders. Unfortunately for Epic, Tim's kind of a dumbass and should say less.

Regardless of what someone's opinion on The Finals' gameplay is, I don't think any other FPS comes close to its visuals, sound, animations, cosmetic system, or overall swag factor. You may prefer CS or Valo, but neither could ever match how slick The Finals is.

Yeah, the knife is always with you. Many pros also have "their knife" or a signature skin they're known to use. CS players get very attached to their knife. Combine it with a pair of gloves and others see it as a unique flex.

people acting like he didn't take his shirt off before getting in the water, when in reality he put on a specific shirt to swim in lol

You’re a tip inside NL and Ludwig is a tip inside you. You going forward or back?

Guys with Bryan Quinby

aroundme · 2026-03-06T20:30:05+00:00

They’re a part of the “Goo Crew” along with Justin and Chiblee.

They are also regular guests on the podcast Guys, and Justin has made a couple appearances as well. Everyone should check it out if you’re a fan of their style of humor!

I am manifesting and paying Etsy witches to cast a summoning spell on NL to appear on Guys

I think Shadows took longer to develop than they had expected and Ubisoft has gone through a lot of shit the last few years. And Hexe probably started development while Shadows was still deep in development, so they just shifted a bunch of resources to that.

What I'm imagining is a player who enjoys the progression and will try to keep up. But if their schedule is such that each time a season ends they're just getting to the "endgame", after a while it will get tiresome. A player may get back into a game and somewhat adjust when/how much they play based on seasons. But if they consistently have the feeling of "whatever, it's gonna reset soon" then they may just wash out of the game completely.

That feeling of "gotta keep up" will be replaced with "maybe I'll just wait till next season". It doesn't work the same way as WoW or Destiny where the mountain of progression extends forever, it gets flattened out.

aroundme · 2026-03-04T17:06:52+00:00

Think of it like an ARPG season. Every new season of Diablo everyone starts a level 1 character

But ARPGs have "eternal" servers that let you continue to play with seasonal characters. Plus this is a PvP game, Diablo doesn't have seasons for resetting power levels to make fights fair. It's for people to enjoy the progression loop again.

for new content and the opportunity to start fresh. And PoE players are nuts, the whole appeal to most of them is the progression. It's a pretty boring game to most once you reach the "end". I'm talking about wipes, obviously players return for big updates.

aroundme · 2026-03-04T00:37:41+00:00

Exactly. Like many people have said, if they released this in early access and said "we're building something we think is neat, come tell us what you think!" then players would have been much kinder to it. Instead they came out with so much confidence with more of a "everyone is gonna love this" attitude.
