yeah, i have no idea what the touch screen will do for the comfort of holding it. i would need to use it. it’s just, i mean, how to hold it? it seems pretty self-explanatory.

not recently, but last night i was using an snes controller and it felt just fine. in terms of the comfort of holding it, there’s no difference between an nes controller and a snes controller. people have a superficial idea that ergonomics is just a lot of curved surfaces, but an nes controller is perfectly…

failure of imagination. haptic just refers to the sense of touch. it could just as easily refer to the sense of touch created by a button under your thumb. i saw a demo of a haptic system that would allow you to reach out and grab something in an enclosure and move it around, except there wasn’t anything actually in…

maybe there’s some kind of haptic magic that will negate that problem, thus making you say wow.

what would stop you from holding it like an nes controller? i’m confused about the confusion of how to hold this thing.

how do you hold a controller? i’m picturing my thumbs on the control sticks and my fingers curled underneath the controller. i’m trying to picture how my fingers would end up on the screen but a plausible image is eludes me.

when i was a kid i always thought that the buttons on a traditional d-pad controller should’ve just been a second dpad. i wonder how it’d feel to do the same thing with analog sticks... my guess is not great, but i suppose i’d have to try it.

there’s something going on here. that’s not a real hand (i suspect the whole arm is some kind of prosthesis), and those flags aren’t real either.

the fact you missed the verb in that parenthetical really me up!

i’m not trying to say i would be comfortable with the oily men, but shit, i wouldn’t be comfortable with the erotic school girls either. when i was 18 me and a few friends went to a strip club. i think we all learned that that’s not really our kind of scene.

it could even go to someone not related to him.

man, that got me stuck in a scoff loop for a minute.

yep, that’s were it starts and ends for him.

because fuck ted cruz?

yeah, i know the feeling. i also started out in game development and now, after a few years of what i call boring programming, it feels completely inaccessible to get back in. though, i got out of games for good reason, so i don’t *actually* want to get back in, but sometimes...

you’re inferring quite a lot on the news of one developer closing. game developers close all the time. game developers have always walked the edge of a knife.

shit, anything would be better. mundanes. wandless. partial to that louis armstrong song.

muggle’s a great word. no-maj is fucking bullshit.

arstechnica has bits of an explanation from the author about what the emulator’s doing.

they don’t look very good for that to be the case.
