Hello

 Sat Sep 01 16:09:32 +0000 2018

It's really annoying that half of commercial VR games don't go any further than handing you a GUN.

 Sat Sep 01 16:50:48 +0000 2018

I dream of 90s Macromedia era repeating itself in VR, but of course that's not exactly possible for several reasons.

 Sat Sep 01 16:52:25 +0000 2018

The main one is VR dev is incredibly difficult, while Macromedia Director was relatively easy, and together with arrival of CD-ROM and multimedia craze opened the world of computer product dev to people who *didn't* have background in gamers.

 Sat Sep 01 16:53:57 +0000 2018

VR games currently suffer because we try to shoehorn the existing genres into it, and mostly they just don't work in that medium.

 Sat Sep 01 16:56:56 +0000 2018

Having said that, I fucking *adore* Superhot VR. That's a game with a gun that does it right. Because the way it requires interaction is impossible outside of VR.

 Sat Sep 01 16:58:52 +0000 2018

(Yes, I know of original Superhot. The way you get to interact with the world is *completely* different.)

 Tue Sep 04 22:20:57 +0000 2018

English is a fairly basic language, that can be learned rather quickly, BUT when people here encounter a person who doesn't speak the language very well, often their approach is to start talking MORE, and in LONGER sentences. That is wrong.

Saw it coming from a mile away, which is always a disappointment for a film like this. But more I was disappointed by the the fact that the film builds suspense so well in its first half, to piss it all away in the final act. It breaks what it sets up constantly.

Funny how some things change when you get older. For example, I always loved Cronenberg's The Fly. It was always a bit gross, but in a cool way. These days when I watch it, I occasionally put my hand out to block the screen because it's so explicit. Same movie, but I have changed

Since I've been listening to real OPL3 so much lately, I can say that OPL2/3 emulation got so much better than it was, let's say, even 5 years ago. A lot of the time I can't tell the difference.

Which is a good thing, of course. One day there will be no more OPL chips left, and we'll have to rely on emulation/reimplementations.

It is such a shame that Neveldine/Taylor split up. 🙁

 Wed Sep 19 02:05:56 +0000 2018

I actually saw the first Crank film with my mother, who loves Jason Statham, and insisted on going to the theater. My mother enjoys stupid jokes, and she laughed a few times, but when the movie was over she went "well, the whole point was just to be offensive, wasn't it?"

 Wed Sep 19 02:40:00 +0000 2018

She wasn't wrong. 😄

 Wed Sep 19 02:40:21 +0000 2018

Then I went to see Crank 2, and holy shit, I was essentially watching a $20 mil Troma movie on a big screen, and it just blew my mind.

 Wed Sep 19 02:41:43 +0000 2018

There are occasional high budget exploitation films that studios produce, such as Drive Angry 3D ($50 mil budget,) but none of them "go for it" as much as Crank 2.

Sure. Although I don't think it injects anything into a file, just dumps mp3s into wavs. Pretty sure there's a post WinXP fix for Max Payne that does the same thing. Game's sound broke in Vista, so there was a utility that extracted all the sfx, converted them & put them back.

Why is it not a valid point? How many times can you watch a 25€ movie in a two hour period vs how much of a game that costs twice as much can you play through in twice as much time? Very fair metric.
