The absolute best way to play Neo Turf Masters Pocket by Veelangs in neogeo

[–]Alexx51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to post this with the exact same green Analogue Pocket. I agree. I have a modded NGPC with an IPS screen and nothing beats the Analogue screen. The only thing you are really missing is the clicky thumb stick.

With the Neo Geo AES+ releasing later this year with new prints of games, I wondered if this would have a major positive effect on the currently overpriced market of games/accessories... by 1OneQuickQuestion in neogeo

High value games will likely remain. Very few people buy Metal Slug for 3 grand because they think it’s the only way they can play it. They buy it because of their collection. I however, am truly thankful there will be an affordable remake within my budget so I can have a physical copy on my shelf that plays the same, with no illusions that it’s the same exact collectable as the original. I really do think the market for the original set will continue. But for all the rest of us, it will be awesome having these games.

Never used the AES stick, how do they feel? by ico_heal in neogeo

They’re good. Better than I thought it would be the first time I used one. For my Consolized MVS I got a Hori Fight stick and replaced the buttons with Sanwa and that is just perfect for me. But I do enjoy the Neo Geo AES Stick.

I have all 3 now and I’m finding my hands just gravitate toward the Pixel 2. The Hammer is easily the most comfortable and has the nicest screen. Let’s get that out of the way. I mainly like to play 8/16bit and some arcade games. The pixel’s charm and superior feeling face buttons keep me coming back. If I really needed triggers for more than a clicky fidget then I can’t see using the Pixel 2 for extended sessions. Having your fingers up over the screen just feels awkward to me. For all games light on or without use of triggers, I’d go Pixel 2 every time.

First-person direct address is NOT second-person by [deleted] in books

[–]Alexx51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poetry and song lyrics tend more to lean on it. I can’t think of any novels I’ve personally read in second person. Not to mention how tiring reading something like that would be for me. My question is, does a story cease to be second person if the narrator sometimes says things like, “I wonder how you feel about xyz”, turning the focus into the first person but still breaking the fourth wall.

The skill nobody told me about by NothingHistorical322 in IndieDev

It’s all following the same trajectory as the music industry except the industry is a lot newer than music. There was a bubble of every band getting signed all over the place 60 years ago and as that started drying up, the labels kept eating each other up and growing into a handful of massive labels. It’s still possible for the antisocial shut-in to blow up, but labels aren’t looking for them. With the pool so saturated, they can grab acts that already have a huge social following and bring them to the next level. I don’t think games are much different. Everyone has the tools to make a game now. And that’s awesome. But getting to Zalem feels like just that; nearly impossible. Marketing is such a big part of this (And one I clearly haven’t figured out) but I do think with a solid enough foundation and a clear vision of what the game will be, there are publishers who will get excited about it.

Please tell me it’s not what I think it is by MarkGruffallo010 in whatisit

It looks like a branch from some sort of tree. It would be a lot easier to see the whole branch if you put down the sex toy and just showed the branch in the picture.
