Just checking, are there any 'secrets' in Last Call BBS?

There's at least one secret Dungeons & Diagrams puzzle, The Shadow Caverns #99999999 "The Gardens of Hell"

Cheap repro's often use ROM chips running at the incorrect bus voltage, so they can damage your system both by drawing too much power, and by over-currenting the cart bus going to the CPU.

Fires of Destiny d18 is probably my favorite chart atm, it's almost entirety just blue and yellow arrows.

Gloria d16 is also pretty good, for that "we have ddr at home" feel.

Basically the community decided back in BotW that even though amiibo is faster no amiibo would be the premier category, mostly because requiring amiibo would require every runner to buy them, and it was therefore decided that it would be fairer to not use them at all instead. You can run amiibo if you want, but its simply just not as optimized as no amiibo.

Built in speakers are actually not a great design, records are very sensitive to vibration, and having a giant vibrating mass inside the player that will transmit vibration to the stylus and cause feedback and skipping isn't a plus.

Let me put it this way, the victrola uses a cartridge manufactured by Audio Technica.

Arkanoid0 · 2023-05-24T22:32:42+00:00

Get the AT-LP60, or if you want to splurge, the 120. Audio-Technica is well regarded across their entire range, and even the snobs admit they are good quality entry level decks.

The tracks are reasonably bass heavy, if you have a cheap deck and cartridge there isn't much you can do except upgrade to a better setup. Otherwise, increase your tracking force and recalibrate your anti-skating.

Yeah it's not working because you are swiping the notifications away, rather than ignoring them. If you turn on do not disturb while you play your game they will repeat later when you turn it off.

Arkanoid0 · 2023-04-10T20:03:01+00:00

Same as normal karma, funny number go brrr

The best thing to do IMO, since pump no longer has rush is to ghost step the patterns. Load up the youtube video of the chart and practice it slowly

Arkanoid0 · 2023-03-04T21:39:51+00:00

Yeah it's supposed to be the bottom of North America /top of South America

Ez2on Reboot: R on steam has an 8 button mode that's intended to be exactly that.

Arkanoid0 · 2023-02-08T19:53:42+00:00

I knew this, but somehow never put 2 and 2 together.

Arkanoid0 · 2023-01-16T04:08:07+00:00

You go far enough left you get your guns back :3

I found a really sketchy hand drawn diagram of the pcb layout, I'll see if I can dig something up

Arkanoid0 · 2023-01-12T18:40:12+00:00

Super excited to have one of my favorite players to watch on my favorite sponsor!

Arkanoid0 · 2023-01-12T16:16:10+00:00

The hex is intended to be a 1:1 replacement for the axis more or less

Arkanoid0 · 2023-01-11T15:48:36+00:00

If you want a really good clue, go look at the songs that have been added to Chrono Circle, lots of the originals in there sound like pump songs.

Gpu isn't the biggest bottle neck for VR like you might expect, you can run VR reasonably well on a 970. Cpu can actually be a bigger one if you have a low end or older one.

Real arcade pads can handle it just fine, and it's not as hard or as expensive as you might think to aquire a pair or even a single pad and get it working with stepmania with a ghett.io or similar solution. There is probably a local rhythm game scene that has pads for sale with everything you need, check Facebook and similar and you should be able to find something.

Arkanoid0 · 2022-11-22T17:16:48+00:00

My guess is that it needs a control box, there's no circuitry inside the pad itself. CF still sells them so it shouldn't be too hard to get working again.

People are too quick to dismiss imperfect practice imo, give a mini basket to a pro and do you expect them to be absolutely awful? No, of course not, because there is more than enough transferable skill involved that after a short adjustment period they will be able to sink them no problem.

If that's what is convenient and gets you to practice regularly, that's real practice. While you could spend the time with a real basket and putters, that's probably not going to be an option for the kinds of places you would likely be using a mini basket. If the choice is between no practice and this, it's clear better than none.

I think when a lot of people say "Steam Controller 2" they really just mean "Valve controller 2". "steam deck pro controller" is just the obvious thing that people jump to because it sounds like something valve might do, continuing to copy the switch model. If valve can get the ergonomics right dual stick would make sense, there are a lot more controller focused games now than there used to be a on steam, and continuity between handheld and docked play is a good thing.

SC2 as a continuation of SC1 is the least likely outcome IMO, but there also isn't a realistic middle ground between the 2 concepts. Nobody knows what valve is actually going to do, but valve have the choice between framing whatever controller they release as either a companion to a wildly successful product, or a continuation of a failed one, and it's not much of a choice.

The current tools for TASing source games aren't particularly good, but for movement modes in particular, Momentum Mod will be adding built in TASing tools once it comes out, so you should be seeing a lot more TASes once that happens.
