@adiwan i was confused on why people were saying it was out already today until i realized that the release date was Japan time, even the one given by RGG's western accounts. Neat!
-
@zeldatra Yeah. I had to look up a few times. Thankfully Steam displayed the remaining hours until release. I had prealoaded it yesterday, however minutes after the official release it wasn't able to start because my Steam client wasn't aware of the release. A restart of the client fixed it.

I’m working with a well-known brand sponsor for upcoming Mattimation cartoons and they want to know if I will happen to be in Dubai next week for a face to face. I, uh, will not, and unless I find myself with unfathomable wealth in the next five years, you can probably count on me not ever “happening” to be in Dubai.

@zeldatra If I have the money to "happen by" Dubai, you can bet your butt I have the money to never go to Dubai

Children should play a bootleg console at least once in their lives. A good 'ol famiclone. A NES on a chip or anything that promises 99999999 games in one but they are repeats or just start at a different level. This kind of disappointment and wonder is a unique brew of an experience that is both cheap and rich in questionable fun. A lie with an upside. Bonus points if they are actually rom hacks with the weirdest promises.

@adiwan As a child I had an N64 controller that you would plug into a tv and it would load up 900 NES and arcade roms, probably less than a hundred of which were unique games. Kids today now can get handheld that do the same thing on Temu, everything is properly labeled, the emulators don’t run at half speed, sometimes they play like PS2 games and Fluffle Puff, you can load your own on an sd card… it just ain’t the same.
-
@zeldatra For some reason I stumble upon reviews of those emulation machines and even now they are not always delivering the proper performance to even run NES games at a smooth performance. PS2 games, even PS1 and Dreamcast are a joke. There are only few exceptions where they run well enough for an enjoyable experience. The famiclone I had in the 90s was a weird "handheld" one. It was a big black "Game Gear"-like case without a screen that plugged directly into a AC/DC adaptor and it needed to be connected with a RF coax cable to the TV. It really sucked as over time both power and TV plugs on it got loose.

Let’s say I have five million dollars, cash. Do I a) move into a house on stilts in the most expensive state in the country and declare bankruptcy in a year after being unable to pay property taxes, or b) just buy a bigger house in the DC suburb I already currently live in for one million and then still have four million to play with

@zeldatra Even at a 3% godawful return investment fund, you'd be getting 150k a year from 5 million.
Just invest it all in a low risk profile and pay a mortgage with the interest.

It's not that I'm not empathetic towards people who lost everything in the recent LA wildfires, it's more that I don't consider washed-up media influencers living deliberately uninsured in a mansion they know they shouldn't be able to afford to be "people" like you or me https://apnews.com/article/california-fires-los-angeles-water-lawsuit-548b08e13f256079ff0ffc4e7a9c55a3

@scribus I hate to repeat myself but, uh, the ground shakes and it is hot and the city routinely burns to the ground once every couple of years, and a moderately wealthy person in LA County is unfathomably wealthy nearly everywhere else, why do rich people choose to live there again??

The backpack I'm using for over 15 years is still holding well enough but I feel like I've grown out of it. It was fine for a good while but my use-case has shifted dramatically. Nowadays I use it for holding all my bike stuff and for some emergency storage whenever my shopped items don't fit in my bags. The stuff I have in my backpack right now gets more in the way lately because the items are oddly shaped for the compartments they are. A poncho, umbrella, small first-aid kit, repair tools, hand pump, tote bags, paper tissues, N95-masks, pens. I wish I could sew one myself.
about 5 months ago from web-
@awl I use my backpack almost exclusively when I use my bike. So my needs are pretty much the same all the time. On good weather days I don't need to carry an umbrella or poncho but they will be definitely not there when I actually need them if I don't have it always packed. I hope I don't overpack. I was once thinking about carrying a set of new chain and hoses but these might be overkill as I would need more time to fix that than to push the bike back home.

@awl I just have good ol' ordinary rim brakes that are attached to a bowden tube. Also my hub gearing brakes when backpedaling.

@scribus You need to open it, disassemble it, and clean it with isopropyl or distilled water.

https://youtu.be/G6wlpkOSLI0 Modified Chitose's basic attack to look more like something Haruka would've learned through observation. First two hits are Chitose's regular rush combo, but the third is now an edited version of Kiryu's Dragon style high kick.
about 6 months ago from web-
@zeldatra second hit is also slightly changed in that it now launches for a slightly flashier looking hit as originally it lacked impact. I'm told this makes it impossible for enemies to dodge mid combo which is probably why RGG didn't do this to begin with but they already were not dodging mid combo very much so i don't personally think it changes the balance too much

Life lesson: It's easier to solder two stacking PCBs together via pins than to remove all that solder to disassemble. I got a new solder sucker and it sucks. I mean it is not very good. That solder sucker is an iFixit solder sucker and i'd give it a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars. The nozzle is way too big for 2.54mm pitched pins and the suction action itself is a little bit too weak.

@adiwan Get one of those solder stations that have both and an hot air pistol, they're only like $100 nowadays.

Kaito never enters a building in Lost Judgment that requires him to take off his shoes. I learned this when his feet suddenly disappeared after I entered a shrine in Infinite Wealth.
about 6 months ago from web-
@zeldatra In the Kaito Files DLC he has socks on when he enters the Doctor's home. https://youtu.be/gAqdA1D9YJM?t=11438 I believe that they are socks and not shoes. They are very dark and featureless.
-
@adiwan His Kaito files model is stored in a separate location for whatever reason, I think I grabbed his base game model by mistake.

-
Also Yagami (and Kaito’s) entries in the party database seem to genuinely stem from RGG just adding protagonists sequentially with each new game going back to Yakuza 6; Kiryu is 1, Majima is 2, Yagami is 3, Ichiban is 4, and his yakuza 7 party + Masumi Arakawa fills out the remainder before we suddenly start getting LJ side characters; seems the ones who follow you around worked internally like Y7’s party members even though most of them don’t ever join you in combat.

@scribus ironically perfectly in line with a recurring theme in his first game that he is not number one despite his name implying otherwise

Weird factoids about playable Haruka:
-she is capable of doing all of Kiryu’s minigames although because she is much shorter some of her animations are a bit weird, IE she doesn’t reach the handlebars in Can Quest. Not sure how easy the fix for those things is because although I COULD tweak the animations, they’re meant to be universal so switching the party leader to anyone else breaks the animations for them.
-she CANNOT play most of Kasuga’s minigames, he takes over for those. Likely has something to do with the game switching to his cutscene model or something like that, I haven’t looked too deep into it yet.about 7 months ago from web-
-she CAN however go to Dondoko Island. The only issue I’ve found there is that she has no voice lines for greeting villagers, although she does not reuse Kasuga’s like I thought she would; she simply doesn’t say anything at all, opting to wave instead. That’s interesting as hell. Pulling audio from other Rie Kugimiya/Xanthe Hyunh projects probably fixes this.
-When taking selfies she either starts speaking in Kiryu’s voice (when in Japan) or Kasuga’s (in Hawaii). Not sure if this is fixable.

Cities Skylines 2 is so great, I love how the entire town will all choose one road to drive on so no matter how many new highways you build they will all decide to clog up a suburban street forty miles away because they all decided that is the best way to work
about 7 months ago from web-
@scribus I tested it by building a second “express” highway that covers the same distance and takes you STRAIGHT into key locations with no exits, inspired by I-66 from Virginia to DC where the USDOT did exactly that, and nobody took it. They all preferred to drive on the original. I’m guessing the only calculation the game makes is distance traveled and not “does taking this road actually save me any time”.
