I definitely agree that Oracles should be toward the top of any Zelda list. They’re amazing. Maybe I’m the odd man out though, but I personally would put others above LttP, despite how great it is. I always enjoyed Ocarina more, at the very least.

I demand more Mirai. Diva just never felt quite as enjoyable =/

wow this is... incredibly underwhelming. PSVR+Move, a seated system, small space, useless tactile feedback system, hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if the smell system wasn’t just them having bits of incense behind little doors at that rate.

also, for anyone wondering why the swimsuit would be semitransparent in the first place — alpha channels are frequently used in clothing for things like the holes in lace and the edges of frills and such. It lets you render an object with lots of “edges” while still retaining a low poly count (this is also how the…

looks like a glitch I’ve seen a lot, where semitransparent textures (such as hair and clothing, which often have transparent edges) seem to get ‘culled’ by the rendering system if another semitransparent texture is between them and the camera — the system either believes they shouldn’t be visible because there’s…

eh, if I’m not getting analog movement out of it, I don’t really see enough value to buy. analog movement is my entire justification for wanting an alternate control scheme — gamepads don’t give enough inputs and keypads don’t have analog input, so neither of them are ideal. There is a keyboard on kickstarter (I…

Huh. I actually feel this season is much better than the last couple. I am following and enjoying five series this season, and actually, none of the above are included in that list. I intend to check out Little Witch Academia at some point. I can’t say i’m interested in Scum’s Wish at all right now from what I’ve…

It sounds like they remove the camera movement in VR then, which is what I was hoping for.

er, the camera and hand movements were pretty obviously a scripted animation.

There’s no tune to change. If there is a tune, it is “if the camera moves or turns on its own while the headset is strapped to my face, I will get sick”. The only way to prevent that sickness is for the game to not move the camera except in response to an action I make myself.

er, that’s not what I meant. I mean how the player’s camera moves around on its own (as the character reels back in surprise) when he busts through. In VR, any camera movement not explicitly controlled by the player risks giving the player VR sickness; that’s why scripted camera movement is a no-no.

I saw some scripted camera movement in a few of the gifs in the article (e.g. the character jumps back when the dude bursts through the wall) so I was a bit concerned about that — it seems like a prime candidate for VR but scripted camera movements are a HUGE no-no. I hope they turn that off for VR mode.

i’m loving it. has this sorta “princess commander” kinda feel, like one minute she could be in a lavish room sipping tea, the next minute out leading an army.

C-buttons and D-Pad are not the same thing. I always hated split-button D-pad designs, and I’ll probably hate this. Although I probably won’t end up having many/any games that use the d-pad extensively, so NBD.

“...games that star a Vocaloid whose voice was apparently created by Yamaha...”

I feel you. Today I was notified that my stepmother died this past week from a brain aneurism. 2016 is trying to get as many in as it can.

razer drivers act flaky with one of my blackwidow keyboards as well, randomly causing certain keys to stick on occasion. I just install the drivers when I need to change a setting on my mouse or whatever, then uninstall them. the settings in the mouse stick, and no annoying bugs.

Let us not forget that the Razer Diamondback — a chroma-reimaged version of one of IMHO the best mice of all time — is still on sale for $40 on amazon.

The electoral college system isn’t a bad idea in principle, because that ‘tyranny of the majority’ thing is kind of a real issue that would put the entire election in the hands of major population centers, the rest of the US be damned. The ‘Winner Takes All’ rule, however, is what hurts it in practice. Being an…

I’m generally fine with it. I don’t go seeking it out, and I generally don’t bother with shows where fanservice is the only driving element of the show, but if the show has other qualities that make it worth watching, I’m fine with it.
