i stayed up all night reading the first chapter of the hashihime of the old book town, that's a fascinating VN. the first four hours is just a bunch of boys flirting with each other and making references to untranslated japanese surrealist literature. didn't realize going in it was going to be yet another time loop story though, vns love that stuff

good cgs, too

tfw you start playing a game and have this vague but unshakable feeling that you're working through someones fetish. VR game where you're chained up in a wheelchair and have to use a laser pointer and gestures to direct a little girl around each room to solve puzzles, kind of a mix of lifeline and pac-man 2 and ico (and it has some ico predigree also, lead animator worked on ico and sotc, director worked on tlg)

except. the store page also describes it as "saw meets ico" and every single room has a unique long and super brutal death animation where you have to first watch her and then you get killed if you gently caress up. sorry you mixed up blue and green in this game of simon, now the organ is going to spray poison gas until she asphyxiates. sorry you didn't do this moving block puzzle in the right order, now the floor is going to drop out into a grinder. also even more brutally a lot of the success animations are indistinguishable from the fail animations until the very last second. like a train switch problem where as soon as she presses the button to start the train, stocks drop down around her neck, and then you watch the train drive around for a minute and if you flipped the right switches it unlocks the door, or if you did not then the train cuts a rope that drops a guillotine

i'm at 100 minutes and debating whether to refund it. i'm pretty sure its not actually a ryona game, but at the very least the fail state always being a little girl getting murdered is kinda cheap. then again there's some interesting structural stuff going on that I wanna see where it goes... also they play around with you being in a wheelchair in kinda fun ways, that elevates the wheelchair thing beyond just being a vr conceit

So all the bean lovers out there, what is your opinion on beans in chili?
critical but also, we must forever remember the difference between the kind of chili you eat with a spoon, that must have beans, and the kind of chili that you put on a hot dog, that must never have them

ordered a chili dog one time and the guy shrugged and spilled soup all over my hot dog, thats hosed up

the first time momo appears in saki, 20 minutes of intense mahjong where both the players and the audience are totally oblivious to her existence, until momo drops her cloaking field and the camera finally pans over and everyone is like "oh yeah mahjong is a four player game"

I'm another who bounced off Octopath hard, but I had it built up in my head as some kind of FF IV-VI pastiche when it's more of an homage to old school SaGa games with a FFV job system. I have this idea that if maybe you approached it as some kind of interconnected SaGa game and maybe didn't try to do everyone's story in one run it might be more palatable. I'm not sure how well that would work though.

I am looking forward to Project Triangle Strategy but it looks like it will actually have a story and the characters might have a reason to hang out.
as an octopath liker, it's biggest problem is that it's extremely confused about what it wants to be, because it is simultaneously a saga pastiche and an homage to classic FF even though those are two totally incoherent objectives. it'd be a much better game if it was like saga frontier and 8 separate but intertwined stories in the same world, but it really is designed for you to do everything in one run

also remember, triangle strategy has zero relation to octopath despite what they'd like you to think, just like octopath isn't actually a followup to bravely default

Oh ok I just thought it would be as bad as going from a 60fps to a 30fps game in terms of overall frame speed difference
it'd be more like the 3:2 pulldown you get when you watch a 24hz film on cable or whatever, you'd have some doubled frames to make up the difference, but it probably wouldnt really be noticeable

Zaphod42 posted:

PCs won't do a pulldown unless you have vsync on and miss target rate

But the native refresh isn't the issue there

Also why gsync/freesync are the answer
it wont tween but if if you're at 144hz and have a window updating at 60hz yeah you're gonna get doubled frames

Any opinions regarding Ikea's Markus vs the Staples' Hyken office chairs?

I don't want to spend the money right now—I would prefer to save up for something better—but my back and knees have been killing me lately.
biggest difference is just foam vs mesh. comfort vs support + the foam will wear out eventually. my last chair was a markus though and its a pretty good sit

theres a reason so many vtubers are willing to give up revenue to join agencies, getting out there is the hardest part. watching good indies that pull a couple hundred viewers a stream graduate to an agency that can just hand them a couple ten thousand out of the gate for their debut is a big deal
